Hounds are still the most obnoxious enemy in the game

No they don’t

They have two types of pounce:

  1. running pounce

    which they should use from afar
    2.from the spot pounce

    which they should use up close

But it’s not consistent at all, because they often use running pounce up close


which is really hard to react to.
Because pounce startup is too fast and dog dont have to spend time flying through the air to get to you.
It also happens at a random time, which you can’t really predict. contrary to normal running pounce, that can be predicted by distance.

Edit: I can give one hint tho.
It seems that there is a fixed timer between pounces.
So if you stagger a dog a couple of times or even once, after unsuccessful pounce, then you should expect that 360 insta pounce, if dog starts running away.
