Legend True Solo - Mercenary + Spear and Shield / New Skin!｜Vermintide 2

[@lyhan2308]

Passionate VT2 player here - learned so much by just watching you how you handle things solo with any heroes / any class! Thanks for bringing great content!

[@Mutterschwein]

Yep. I was playing on legend chaos expeditions solo(with bots) earlier and when all 3 of my bots got downed in the Arena of Determination I remembered Choco and told myself to calm down, tread carefully and map out where I'm walking backwards to and keep kiting and slowly kill all the enemies. Ended up clutching and reviving all the bots to win the game.

@@Mutterschwein im amready new to the game and sometimes when i play veteran some of the mini boss almost os me It's Amazing to see you guys Master the game at the point you don't even need allies anymore

[@Mutterschwein]

​@@maximeamoros1190 Aww thanks. You will also reach Legend soon and then even Cataclysm and be able to handle things alone even without allies. It's all a matter of time.

[@SuperdivorceChugsFarts]

@@Mutterschwein certainly helps that it’s easier to kite enemies when the last alive

[@haesung2148]

the fact that you survived any of that is just unbelievable.

Omg I have not been able to find any gameplay of spear and shield for kruber whatsoever. You are a godsend

[@lucagallaro7411]

"Haha you fight like a dwarf azumgi"

[@SuperibyP]

So so good, as always! A suggestion: would it be somehow possible to include a small keyboard overlay somewhere in a corner that shows us what you're pressing and when? Could potentially go a long way to helping us learn how you animation cancel etc.

[@chocoB777]

It's a good idea, but I'm sorry if it might ruin the world view.

[@SuperibyP]

@@chocoB777 I feared it might, yeah! I appreciate you considering it though, thank you!

Amazing, thanks for showing the new skin of kruber

[@TheMattimeas]

14:46 I'm glad(?) to see stuff like that still happens to even the best players. Random mook being completely silent and getting a free hit. :^) Pisses me off in-game when that happens.

[@ch3wbacca117]

jesus that shot on the assassin at 9:07 was fucking sick man

[@TheArnoldification]

What do you think of this weapon? I'm honestly not sure. The special is neat the weapon just felt kinda awkward to use for me the few times I ran with it

[@TheArnoldification]

@@josephstein3559 what difficulties do you usually play?

[@NSFWTHICC]

@@TheArnoldification I think it’s high tier on legendary and Cata. Cleave feels super solid on Merc and single target is serviceable as well.

[@doomskunk]

The weapon is very good, playing cata only

[@Mach-2-Fishbed]

@@TheArnoldification Personally been playing a ton with it on legend (Merc and FK) and I've been loving it, even replaced my beloved spear on Merc. This thing is just horde and elite abuser. First 2 lights are just nice wide sweeps (like his spears sweeps) that have decent cleave (Merc obviously boosts this) and you can do a very easy animation cancel to just keep a 1/2 light chain going non stop, making hordes a joke. The stab while blocking is great for easy safe attacks on things like maulers and SV as seen, or if you prefer, clearing the trash away for easier fights against just them, though keep your stamina in check when doing so. Heavy 2 is a nice overhead, so a push attack into the head followed by a heavy for a nice overhead into the head can usually take care of elites quite well. Biggest issue for me is the special stabs have a REALLY long animation before you can do any other attack again, though you can get around this with a quick double tap of Q (or whatever your bind may be for switching between ranged and melee). Only done a few cata runs in chaos wastes with it so far, but it still held up fairly well, lack of armor damage started to show there though.

[@TheArnoldification]

@@josephstein3559 Nice to hear. Just wish GK could use it :/

now we are waiting for a new skin for Gruber Knight. Thank you for the video with Gruber and the new weapon!

[@neon1321]

impressive as always Choco. Can you do a kerillian spear and shield run? I'd really like to see how you use that weapon.

[@chocoB777]

Thank you. I'll play with it when I get a chance.

[@lennyerdody]

I LOVE YOUR VIDS KEEP EM COMING. Also make lots of dark tide vids when it’s released

[@ThedeadMapleoak]

How did you make your visuals so well lit?

[@tomlamy7396]

This build is good for group content (leg or +) mercenary or there is a better one ? :D And thank you for the gameplay !!

[@kedrynfuel]

We need more videos to binge! keep it up!

[@one7decimal2eight]

Is this better than the spear? Seems slower, and only advantage is more stamina?

[@joeyalbert9412]

Out of curiosity, what's your success rates on your true solo runs? Do you get it first try often, or does it take a few?

[@chocoB777]

Success rate? Basically, if I'm satisfied with the content after playing with it 1-3 times, I'll make a video of it.

[@joeyalbert9412]

@@chocoB777 that makes sense. I had meant the literal success rate of actually completing the run. I suppose from your answer you pretty much never fail. Thanks!

[@nugienugraha2326]

Noob here How you do that stab only move? Cant find it

[@ThePaeppa]

How did you make the dark mineshaft area so clear? I can't get it to be so easy to navigate even with max Gamma. Is it a mod?

Shame that Grail Knight cannot use this weapon...

[@LordThatch]

Yeah but it wouldn’t be lore accurate if they could. Besides, grail knight has plenty of good options still, although I wish the bretonnian sword and shield was one of them

[@SuperCatacata]

@@LordThatch Lore can bite my ass if it means the "melee only" class can't use a DLC melee weapon paid for with real $$$.

@@LordThatch don't they ride on horse with those pointy sticks jousting like there is no tomorrow? :D , but yeah got your point, spear and shield is too peasanty weapon for them

[@avandarkwalker9132]

i mean that’s the problem with Brettonia Knight’s weapons in lore. They have no clear cut what melee they can use, even though they are depicted as a medieval civilization mimicking the European medieval. There are plenty of historical documents and artworks of knights using spears and shields, so i don’t get why they should be assumed as peasant weapons in Warhammer lore.

[@mikkodoria4778]

Use this on foot knight too

[@WafflezDay]

How does one even get to this level of skill? I'm afraid to play on Legend, and still struggle on Champion. Sometimes I do really well and can carry the team and other times I get absolutely shredded in 5 seconds and i'm more of a liability than anything else. I'm not greedy for green circles or anything, I just try my best and I don't know what i'm doing wrong.

[@cattysplat]

How do you do shield stab without shoving? Also stabbing on first attack instead of sweep is a reverse combo. Dodging a pack master in melee range? This game hides so many secrets.

[@sus425]

The stab with your shield up is the special effect. The special button On console is clicking the right stick in, not sure about pc

[@FCSOWMD]

On pc you have a to key bind the

[@FCSOWMD]

Key bind the special item on settings and For the pack master , while he starts his grapple animation if you walk towards him and hug his left or right you dodge his hook all the time if done correctly

2:12 how did you do this move with blocking and attacking at the same time? Tried any variants, couldn't do it

[@Sonny_Doro]

Special button, you have set it in key bindings. I usually use the mouse wheel button. So the combo is: hold right click mouse (parry) + mouse wheel button. Assuming you are playing on PC

@@Sonny_Doro Thanks man, it works :)

Only the first special attack requires a block to initiate too.

[@alihunter84]

Ill say it before and say it again, its not hard to solo, it is infact easier.. as long as you dont fuck up.. 1x chance of fuck up is better than 4x...but lets face it. Its not a solo game, its basically just cheesing to make everything target you..

[@chocoB777]

It's not difficult to play Legend Solo if you have a certain level of skill. You may be mistaken, but I'm not playing to show off my skills. My goal is to introduce new weapons and builds. I'm sure everyone understands that and is watching.
