What to study

Daemonhunters' signature mechanic, drawn as a decision: instead of a hit percentage, the player is offered the enemy's body. Five blue banners hang off the daemon's parts, Disable: Ranged Weapon (infinity), Afflict Crazed (1 turn), Disable: Melee Weapon (infinity), Reveal Abdomen, Armour Pierce, each a permanent or timed effect rather than damage, and each anchored to its body part by a red reticle, so the choice is made by looking at the creature, not a menu. The top-centre health bar (skull, 7, segmented red bar) and the red targeting arc keep the rest of the fight in frame, and the CHOOSE TARGET banner at the foot, stamped with the Aquila, is the only instruction the screen needs. Frame at 1:55 in the Launch Trailer video (Steam), scene-change candidate v0_0035 at 115.29s. No trailer typography overlays the frame. Note: a near-identical frame at 116.0s (dense scan) shows the same callouts with the Melee Weapon tooltip expanded; this wider 115.29s frame is kept as the representative because it also shows the enemy health bar and the targeting arc.
