Okay, being surrounded by hordes of enemies is no fun, no matter how strong you are. To kill them all much quicker, several percautions should be taken:

1- Use Enflame to fry all the nearby enemies, giving you a couple of seconds to come back.

2- Do NOT use thetargeting system. Rather than focus on one, its best to just slash wildy at your foes.

3- Always take care of the weaker ones first. They may be weak, but if your sword, axw or hammer is charged up, ready for a flourish, it can be easily broken.

4- Use Assassin's Rush to move out of the fray, and behind an enemy. Kill him, and try to keep from getting surrounded again.

5- The best technique for getting a little space is Force Push (No, not from Star Wars). Ue this to push all the surrounding enemies back.
