Varying strikes between fast and heavy, mixing in the use of signs to disorient or turn an enemy to your side, and throwing bombs to damage or blind your enemies pay off in extremely satisfying fights that can easily turn to or from your favor if the player becomes careless. Economies can be helpful and create a stronger form of immersion, but they can become a hindrance when they infringe upon a player's ability to progress through a story at their own will. The good news is that there are plenty of targets for them to fight.
