There are a few other HUD icons you will encounter when playing War of the Vikings.

The Finish icon will appear floating over downed enemies that have not been insta-killed. Their team-mates can revive them in this state and you can finish the kill by dealing at least 50 damage to the defenseless character and get rewarded with additional points.




This is the Revive icon. It will appear floating over a teammate waiting to be revived. Run up to them and press E for one second (until the game gives you back control over your character) and your teammate will slowly rise up and get back into action. Keep in mind that any damage taken by your teammate will result in the reviving action being disrupted. Once the character is revived you will get a big score reward!


The shield icon pops up when you hit a deflecting/blocked hit on a shield with any kind of ranged weapon. This means the character hit takes no damage and completely negates your attack.
