Chivalry 2 - Skirmisher Guide + Tips & Tricks (Archer subclass)

[@ImGazu]

Probably the most fun class to play. It's challenging but really rewarding when you hit those jav throws.

[@Nighthammer66]

I play skirmisher a lot, top 300 now. Javelin is really a great weapon as you already introduced in the video. The problem I had with it was always in tight places where friendlies were in my way and got hit (huge hitboxes and server registration are bad) and tanked the javs instead of the enemy. I switched now to the throwing axe: Even though it is more challenging to aim it hits the enemy faster so no silly team mate can run into your throw anymore. I'm more agile with a throwing axe so to say.

[@eggary249]

Honestly I have more trouble hitting with java more

[@zachweber1908]

Easily my favorite class. Im terrible at it but god is it satisfying. The javelin and small shield can be very successful in a 1v1 and punish that hero that thinks that archer is an easy mark

[@kras7537]

I played this class alot and it was my favourite part of the game. I hope they never nerf the javs.

[@xylar9630]

I also hope that javs dont get nerfed! But considering that you can only carry 5 of them and that they can be blocked, I think they're pretty balanced atm although they deal so much dmg. Thanks a lot for watching and for your comment!

[@eggary249]

Javs suck like u using it outside of throwing is the worst weapon in the game at least with throwing axes u can duel and melee decently well while having the option to throw for decent damage also the reload skill can make up for its lower damage along with its melee capabilities. Meanwhile the jav is really only good for throwing and the afor mentioned can be blocked and slow and low melee capabilities and the low stam of the skirmiher make absolutely awful it felt so good when I finally unlock throwing axes(cus also the javelins are basically just worse one handed spears)

[@ryanfaulkner5488]

Another great video👌 made me want to try this class... I've never tried before but always have luck throwing weapons lol

[@xylar9630]

Thank you! If you have luck throwing weapons then this might be the perfect class for you 😁👍

[@DennisBLee]

The first thing you want to ask yourself as a skirmisher is whether you are truly a man.

[@xylar9630]

At least you're closer to being a man as a skirmisher than as a longbowman haha :D

[@DennisBLee]

@@xylar9630 ngl a good skirmisher who also knows how to melee is a terror on the battlefield

[@Boobmates]

Well of course they are they do melee don’t they? Normal classes throw their weapons yes? No difference!

[@DennisBLee]

@@Boobmates if only I had 5 greatswords to throw

[@SkvelaPolevka]

​@@DennisBLeeSure but each of ur 5 greatswords does 1/3 of its original damage in melee

[@Technomancer_TGG]

3:55 Bear in mind that this way you'll lose your light shield.

[@RayPoreon]

Everytime I try this class I end up getting a bunch of kills...on my own team. Guess I've gotta work on my aim.

[@r0ast5_61]

I usually drop the light shield for a medium or heavy shield when i can

[@pixelbogpixxelbog2090]

i dont know how you have only 392 subscribers... Your quality is rlly good and you deserve way way more. Your guides helped me a lot :)

[@xylar9630]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback!! I'm really glad that the guides were helpful for you! Many more videos will come soon 👍 If you have any wishes for upcoming guides or videos in general, please let me know :)

[@Whiskey_Warner]

The best class in chivalry 2! Seriously though this is the most fun class.

[@xylar9630]

I agree 100%! I've always had the most fun when playing the skirmisher 👍 nothing in chiv is more satisfying than hitting multiple javelins in a row!

[@Whiskey_Warner]

@@xylar9630 yes i saw your Javelin rank was like 56? Thats crazy, mine is 25 but i am also console peasant hahahha

[@xylar9630]

@@Whiskey_Warner Yeah I really played the jav A LOT 😁 it's just too much fun!

I just can't hit them easily on Xbox

Awesome guide! Thank you very much

Nur für dich gemacht, voll die Klasse für dich 👀

[@orozery3575]

your aim is insane man

[@dirtydee9440]

I missed using the skirmisher in chivalry as you can still use it to attack melee, as opposed to the other game mordhau

[@VadevaEdits]

Awesome Video bro! 100% going to help me improve!

[@xylar9630]

Thanks a lot! I'm happy to read that it was helpful for you! :)

[@gjigaqaquj]

As a skirmisher Is it more useful to flank and try to get a kill or 2 or be in a group playing a more supportive role?

[@gaildavies8380]

Nice number cruncher on jav vs axe, I thought it was something like that

[@dramaqueen4640]

Good vid bro. U didnt mention the special attack, which my favourite thing with skirmisher :D

[@towelman8589]

Very helpful guide, thanks man! What's your favorite 1 handed weapon in the game currently?

[@xylar9630]

Thanks a lot, I'm happy to read that! :) My favorite 1 handed weapon at the moment is the warhammer! It's a beast in 1v1's but also in group fights if you focus on heavy swings so your attacks don't stop on hit. And what is your favorite 1h weapon?

[@towelman8589]

@@xylar9630 I appreciate your quick response! I actually havent tried the warhammer yet. I get destroyed by it on the daily so perhaps it's time I give it a shot! 😂 I've been messing around with the 1 handed axe (or hatchet?), but have been getting kinda bored with it and could use a change. From the looks of it the 1 handed spear seems pretty nasty too!

[@xylar9630]

@@towelman8589 Oh yes the 1 handed spear is insaaanely good 😁you can just spam your special attack and be the top scoring player 😂

[@towelman8589]

@@xylar9630 That sounds like my kind of weapon! 👍 Thanks again Xylar, I'm going to mess around with the warhammer later.

As of the new Winter War update, which came out on 11/30. Javlins now dont interupt peoples attacks.

Whenever I throw them I’m always so close at hitting them it’s annoying! So I get p****d off and go back to throwing bread😒😂

[@xylar9630]

So your aim is better when throwing bread? 😂😂

[@Bert3HD]

@@xylar9630 Yeah, it’s a whole lot wider (That’s what she said), but it doesn’t fly as far sadly😒😂 Honestly though, I haven’t tried doing it in 3rd person like you have, so I’ll have to give that a try!😂👌🏼

[@ythandlename]

I look forward to playing Ghosts n Goblins in Chivalry 2.

[@marv151]

Can you do a one handed spear guide next? Love the vids thanks!

[@xylar9630]

Thank you for watching again and for your comment! :) That's a good idea and I will definitely make a guide for the one handed spear soon! But it could take a while since I have a couple more videos planned already ;)
