[@GuitarSaxBassoon]

Idk how many other people do this, but stabs are literally insane. I typically hide them behind slashes, but if you aim past their body and drag it towards them, it tends to knick their hitbox which is slightly larger than the character model and it honestly feels like cheating sometimes.

That's why some players try to run around you so they can swing there weapon around the back of you. It's the best way don't stand in one spot or you will die fast. Try to move around your targets while attacking if your in uneven odds.

[@PrimeNPC]

Good tip : 90% of 2nd or 3rd enemies getting involved in a fight aren't expecting you aim your next attack towards them. 90% of the time in this situation your original opponent will think he has a free attack while you're 'distracted'. If you land the hit on the other opponent you gain initiative and can immediately counter the first opponents attack which 90% of the time, will hit both opponents and leave you with the initiative once again. The most useful thing I've learned is that most players are very predictable in certain situations. Another great tip for newbies or anyone with a holding block habit - counter stab beats kick every time. Just always be prepared to counter stab opponents if you are holding block. Many times even if you counter stab while they are swinging or overheading, your stab will still connect first providing you're using a sword or fast weapon. I also use the longsword 90% of the time. Last tip : remember to taunt your enemies often, this will cause some players to become more aggressive and therefore more predictable as battles progress.

[@trapezoid5810]

I've been playing for a day or two, and the first statement is pretty true. Always fun to be fighting someone, take a big hit, and then see 4 friendly NPCs running from behind the enemy.

[@Nediac800]

Problem with the counter stab in 1vX situations is you will probably get interrupted by someone else’s attack. In that case, is it better to just let go of everything, let the kick and attack hit, then go back for a block/riposte?

[@PrimeNPC]

@@Nediac800 Just use lmb counters in 1vX because 9/10 players will just spam lmb attacks even its 8 v 1. The counter stab is just the faster move available and it will beat a kick. The trick is to counter the person on furtherest left or right so the counter swing blocks everyone else's attack as it goes round / though them

[@PrimeNPC]

You can block any amount of attacks in a 240 degree arc with a spinning lmb counter swing

[@claudemoney6798]

Good video, probably the best " advanced tips " I've seen yet.

[@Zkarr87]

Except it is not advanced, it is the basic tutorial :D, but most ppl just want to have fun so they dont know about jabs and kicks and only use slash, stab, overhead and block. An advanced tutorial should have been not be afraid to toss your weapons more often and be aware of your "dying" environment and pick up weapons and shields. Also, most archers play in first person, so they are easily beaten by a heavy and light attack (60+40=100), they don't have time to react. And also to help your team in narrow locations, like the bridge, it is always a good idea to have 2-3 rabbits running in and getting a bunch of swarming nubs around you and just run around away from the choke point, that way u often win those hard blocked paths ez. Etc... but yeah love this guy, great vid.

[@claudemoney6798]

@@Zkarr87 Still, this guide is way more advanced / useful than the average '' guide '' on youtube. Explaining the initiative system is really important imo to really deconstruct the fighting in phases. New players gamble so much which get them killed way to often to some mundane attacks. Also, showing that whiffs are an open window for guaranteed hit is huge. The player don't understand how to hit someone since they think riposting and parrying will eventually just make them win which isn't the case in chiv 2, the enemy can just block for ages.

[@jordanpayne6838]

Something to mention about kicks are how effective a giant to kick is. Start your attack, I recommend the slash because it’s the most readable attack. Then immediately hit the the kick. This will usually force your opponent to put up his guard and give you a free stagger.

[@zGoldenHawk]

u can do a couple of swings on blocked people to condition first too

[@franpschorr3646]

(Mordhau Vet Here) It seems like new players are having a much easier time learning the game compared to mordhau. It took my two friends over 20 hours in mordhau before they could even hope to 2v1 me with full communication. But in just their first beta, they were already able to win the occasional duel, and they even topped the leaderboards on occasion. I think the devs tried really hard to narrow the gap between the skill floor and ceiling, while still leaving room to grow and improve. So far it’s seams like they did a good job and created a successful casual experience for most people.

[@billveusay9423]

Yeah, I had some fun with Chivalry 1 but ultimately, I kept bouncing off of very experienced players who could slash me in half in ten seconds. I've only played for a little bit but Chivalry 2 seems very well balanced. I fought many experienced players and, even though I'd still lose most of the time, the key difference is that I could always feel that it was my fault, recognize how I failed and work on that. And once I got a feel for some tricks (feinting, dodging, lobbing your shield to finish your opponent, which is always the funniest thing ever when it lands) I could even get some hits in, which does a lot for the morale.

To add to this, if you are new (like me) I learnt 3rd person really helps with spacial awareness. So use it to make sure you don't end up surrounded so easily.

[@BPGEE]

Can't wait to play this game, getting it soon. Chivalry 1 is such a crazy experience compared to a first person shooter. Will add for people not doing as well as expected, there is a learning curve a bit steeper than most pvp games. You will eventually have it all come together if you just focus on mastering certain things at a time. Play against bots to try stuff out (if that's an option, is on the first game)

Its a intricate difficult play style , at first I hated it , now I’m starting to love it honestly once you get the hang of it its awesome !! I would also add to the list , what I personally just just learned .. Use the left trigger to do alternate attacks guys , when you attack use the left to swing from the right or left which messes with opponents stance and gets u a successful hit almost every time !

[@Tribune_of_Italia]

4:54 This is kinda embarrassing, but I seriously never knew this was changed in Chiv to Mordhau... for YEARS I thought I was just worse than I was before because I had so much trouble taking advantage of people missing (that was the main way I used to play).

[@Estus__Flask]

Yeah I'd do the combo to parry move often in mordhau if I missed, but it does feel like it punishes someone who isn't aware of a vague mechanic rather than rewarding someone who can react/think on their feet by punishing a miss, or manipulating an opponent into doing so. Still possible to punish or encourage a miss in mordhau ofc, but honestly I prefer it this way; it requires more deliberation, timing and correct judgement to land an attack whilst rewarding those who can take advantage of an enemy missing attack more easily.

[@heyfell4301]

I think the one I suffer with the most is running straight towards groups.

[@Estus__Flask]

Played a lot of mordhau frontline and I'm having so much fun in this game. I'm relieved to see there is more depth to the combat than it seems on the surface; the difference between someone who knows what they're doing and someone less experienced is certainly visible. Also the more accessible combat which should encourage crossplay and keep the playerbase stocked is a fantastic idea (imagine trying to block a veteran mordhau pc player with a controller).

[@jesusarmandocontrerasalvar9272]

Extra tip for the boys: use your weapons range, or be carefull of your oponents range, i was one of the boys that used a greatsword like if it was just a stronger punch, going fordward no matter what, i learned is more safe and efectivo to actually keep your distance while swinging your weapon(the longer ones) for example just by doing reylar slashes taking stros back im constantly making a danger zone in front of me, very usefull to catch oponents off guard when they sre the ones closing the gap, or gaining time for allies to come as newer player are less likely tl actually use counters and will just stay away from you, this works even better with gamblers as even if their weapons are faster, your greater range will more often than not make them miss but youll actually reach them

[@vincer7824]

Yep, range and footwork are super important. Like if I’m against a highland sword I switch to my morning star and try to overwhelm at close range.

[@TeeJayPlays]

honestly what helped me most is picking a view(first or third person) and sticking to it. i play third person because of the expanded view i get. first person is better for other things too but being able to see people that are at my side without having to actually turn and look at them is very OP.

[@konmoe121]

To that last one about the follow up being slower, you can instead of doing a swing do a jab for minimal damage but interrupting their attack while regaining some stamina

I've been using sword and shield with foot soldier. (So a medium shield) My best advice is to heavy attack. I typically bait out kicks and punish in kind. But the medium shield is surprisingly weak and will break fast with a few heavy attacks. Only downside is I can retreat and look for a new shield.

Tip #1: Get in the habit of pressing your opponent positionally. Its very common to want to walk in a circle or backpedal when dueling or 1vXing, but trying to walk through your opponent fucks their timing all to hell. As much as people dont want to admit, Chiv (and mordhau) are rhythm games, so making your attacks land sooner than expected turns into kicking the CD player and the track skips (and you have a better chance of landing a hit to the head).

I have a question about the kick: I normally punish blocking by kicking but sometimes it doesn't do anything to the enemy's block and they immediately swing and hit me. Is this because of the initiative system. Kicking feels inconsistent, especially coming from Mordhau so I'm assuming there's some mechanic I'm not aware is affecting it.

Very true, if I'm not having a great start, I'll reposition to the outlines and start picking off distracted players. Gotta get that xp 😅

Who knew this is the game I have been searching for my whole life: kingdom for deliverance was almost what I wanted. But this swordplay is slicker than most big games out there.

[@AnimeFan4815]

I literally play these games for 1vX , but accidentally ending up in the enemy spawn is the worst feeling ever and I do it so much :(

[@Dellyboy666]

Couple of things that are bugging me. 1. No voice chat 2. No button remapping on console 3. No way to invite party into game in progress 4. No duel servers up 5. No private game servers Apart from that, I am enjoying!

one guy once said in chat in the asian servers in mordhau "Gambling is a chad move"

Yo if I block someone and riposte them and I'm using the great sword while my opponent is using a short sword will I have initiative if I riposte them after a block with any type of attack I can do with the great sword excluding specials because right now I suck at fighting people with fast weapons

I just started playing this game on PS5 and it's a lot of fun. I am trying to not just spam so thanks for the tips

I love this game. Was dying s hell if a lot at first but now I'm getting better. Good to have an online multiplayer game that doesn't involve guns.

I played alot of hours into chiv 2 and ur video was realy advanced and explained realy well im sure new ppl playing will get better fast by watching and I even picked up a thing or 2 good video bro

[@einstein9063]

The game was 1000× better in the beta, everyone was having fun and role-playing. Now everyone just sweats or uses coward moves to kill you :(

[@rolandnagy3327]

I just begin yester day i learn a lot abot the new player vids. Thanks. Now i go back to the field 🤣

[@eliteteamkiller319]

Best part of this video is that it's straight to the point.

[@Gutgulper]

It's funny because when I hit someone in the back they always seem to block it

[@losttoaleaf7895]

This guide is veryhelp ful, as new player i just throw all of my weapons at the enemy and beat them with fists. i will try this new tactics tho thank you

[@drejohnson850]

I wish they would’ve given us a front dodge instead of a jump… jumping seems so pointless in this game

[@Lord_Raymund]

Ducking under attacks doesn’t work 99% of the time which is sad 😞

[@impulsefade3041]

@@Lord_Raymund you gotta duck then dodge to the side right after

[@jimmythecrow]

@@impulsefade3041 thats not a duck

Amazing vid, mate. Thank you for the help! :)

[@spaghettiscopezz6499]

Omg thanks for explaining this, I was watching the video thinking I know all this and then you hit the stop perfectly. I couldn't understand why when I kick someone they don't get knocked back and I do. It's all because I had my block up and they didn't 😂 Knowing this will help me out so much in 1v1 situations

[@stepchris5064]

This is the best tip video I have ever seen throughout any game, thank you.

[@Ormonard]

Exposing your back is a really good way to pick up kills if you do it right
