Fight maneuvers

(Basic rules)

If you fight strong opponents, the tactic “the more attacks, the greater the chance the opponent falls before I do” may not pay off. To withstand such opponents in combat, it pays to use maneuvers that strengthen your defense, and to wound them, disorient them, put them out of the fight for a while etc., it pays to use maneuvers that strengthen your attack in various ways. Moreover, in time these maneuvers will let you succeed even against superior numbers or considerably stronger adversaries (through the influence of styles).

Also do not forget that if you have a speed of 15 or more, you gain bonus actions.
