Assassin's Creed Brotherhood combat and stealth: execution streaks, crossbow and full sync
Choose between silent tools, counters and execution streaks while meeting memory objectives.
Edition covered
The original Brotherhood campaign and Rome activities. Ubisoft Steam pictures show the original PC release; The Ezio Collection visual changes and discontinued online services are outside this reference.
Read the memory condition first
Full synchronization is an additional condition on a memory. A successful mission can still miss full sync if Ezio uses a forbidden tool, takes damage or exceeds that memory’s time limit.
| Tool or move | Useful situation | Limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Counter kill | A guard commits to an attack | Some enemy types need another response |
| Execution streak | Several reachable enemies | Incoming attacks still matter |
| Kick | An opponent keeps blocking | Requires close distance |
| Crossbow | Quiet ranged removal | A visible body can alert others |
Use an opening kill to start a streak
After an execution, direct the next attack toward another available opponent. Keep watching for attackers and counter when needed instead of assuming the streak makes Ezio invulnerable.
| Situation | Best check | Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| No-damage objective | Guard positions and escape route | Use distance and avoid a crowded brawl |
| Undetected objective | Witnesses above and beside the route | Blend or remove an isolated lookout |
| Timed objective | The whole travel route | Use a rehearsed roof or horse route |
| Weapon restriction | Exact memory wording | Equip the permitted tool before entry |
Choose tools around witnesses
The crossbow offers a quiet ranged option, while the hidden gun attracts more attention. A body discovered in a guarded area can still cause trouble even when the shot itself was discreet.
Replay for a specific missed condition
Use the DNA menu to identify the memory and its condition. Practise the route before attempting the optional requirement again, especially in war-machine missions.
