I feel like you can do completely fine without pulling off a single combo in the entire game. With 45 hours played I manage to oneshot most enemies but whenever i want to use a combo on harder opponent he easily deflects first or second strike.

Also I find it impossible to land combo on Bernard.
we only use combos in training to learn them and in skill tree in real sword fight they are hard to perform and developers should do something about stuff witch is generally not usable. Someone here on forums said that it looks like that developers played this game for 10min before releasing it 
I dont agree. I have been using combos very effectively against everything really. I find them effective but mainly I like them because using them looks nice
Mainly using longsword.

I do not like animal cruelty but dog dont want to eat meat so i have always to kill him with a bow and arrow
PC. I find combos working after riposte or starting it from feint. Sometimes works without them but its true that opponents usually block or riposte first or second strike.
try on ps4 I have played beta version on pc and for example lock picking or pick pocketing is peace of cake

Landing a combo after successful riposte definitely helped, thanks for the tip.
As the old saying goes - git gud.
Funny thing is, I don’t need to. I can one shot most of my enemies in late game regardless.
