This sword technically does the most consistent damage out of any sword. Genuinely a great weapon. Sure beats trying to pair the Skullcutter with Boots on a server with no random crits.

[@lonelyshpee7873]

It's not useless because you still have the Scottish Resistance. Stay near dispensers/ammo and play entirely defensive and you still have a perfectly usable loadout. And the Scottish Resistance also has extra ammo anyway, so it makes things a little less bad.

[@whatdayit]

Fun fact about the eyelander, you can keep the heads after switching loadouts simple by turning off the advanced setting of “respawn on loadout change” so not only do you get the benefits of full head eyelander you also get fucking sticky bombs, 205 health, and the speed of scout almost. It is fucking absurd

[@mariovelasquez1243]

In the days before the dark times, I used to run Loch-Splendid-Persuader as my go to. The Loch was basically my secondary to get rid of sentries or people backtracking and I just went at people with reckless abandon, timing a shield+swing combo was enough to kill pretty much anything other than an overhealed heavy and really fun, even considering I didn't get to trimping until MUCH later.

[@666chaox666]

I have been playing a lot of demoknight recently, but it's mostly with the half-zatoichi. The overheal you can get from it is insane. But with this video and the other video I watched about the Persian Persuader, I might have to switch it out for a bit.

[@gudiwa8798]

Never knew about the binds thanks a lot

[@UsingGorillaLogic]

People also forget that the persuader is actually more flexible than the other swords in that you don't HAVE to commit, it is equally the best escape tool in that you can use ammo packs on your way out of situations too, and so it is more of a weapon about quick decision making in general.

[@mrgodzillaraptors8632]

I have a feeling I’m gunna see a lot more Persian persuader demos now

[@spaghettproductions4989]

O oh, dud dissed demo knight and the eyelander. Prepare to be doxed by solarlight lol

[@spencerabdo5144]

I use it because my family is Iranian and in high school, when I picked up this game, I was on the debate team. So I was literally a Persian Persuader.

[@TheRealDismantler]

Well I’m convinced!

[@kiracaroso]

The man has drank of the fountain of knowledge and realized that the PP is by far the most fun and balanced of the swords. All hail the massive PP and its endless stamina!

[@RickJaeger]

Demoknight is the only goof-off loadout that has been dignified, by virtue of continual support by Valve via new weapons and balance changes, with the status of "sub-class." It's baffling that they did this.

[@fumothfan9]

This is basically a battering ram in degroot meadival mode. I love chain meleeing or accidentally shield bash ending the enemy. The main enemy is damage like the baby face for scout. But once you line up and learn the timing you can do MLG chain attacks

[@AJ-vq7im]

Hey man saw your stream last night hope you’re doing better!

On the subject of collecting metal unintentionally: As a proposed fix, maybe you could hit reload to toggle the ammo-to-charge exchange on or off.

HybridKnighting with the Persuader actually taught me to value my shots and properly aim instead of mindless spam.

[@chanadlerbing8659]

[@Chronobus]

Demoknight should be it's own class to be honest. Give Demoman some new Grenade, Sticky bomb launchers and bottles to compensate while the Knight gets his swords, shields and gets a crossbow so he can still hit people from afar.

[@nio2.09]

I LOVE the persian pursuader! I have a strange one! I have a bind where I say, "I have a strange persian pursuader"

[@DBArtsCreators]

The buff could be that the PP's melee crit (and perhaps the crit for all the shields) is based off time spent charging, not how much charge is left in the meter.

[@needlebodkin7693]

The persian seems fun because it lets you play around it's weaknesses instead of negating them, letting you charge more often instead of just making you faster Kills giving you another charge you can use to advance or flee instead of having tanky defense or health Its more active, making it better to fight as or against.

[@giovannimorelli4592]

I LOVE FULL DEMOKNIGHT WITH THE PERSIAN PERSUADER

[@dackmanj4728]

Fish you gotta try eyelander demoknight on a KOTH map. It's great to wander all over the place fighting anything and everything you see. I'm a big fan of harvest for this. You're basically a walking raid boss who can pick his fights

[@nickrl113]

The charge crit could also just be tied to the amount of time you've been charging instead of the meter that "definitely won't get touched by anything during a charge other than the charge timer ticking it down absolutely ever right guys"

[@CyanDumBell_MC]

I remember when it used to heal you when picking up ammo pack, that was a fun time.

[@Gnome_Tank]

This is the tiktok brainrot of demoknight swords due to its upside of 100% charge uptime.

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

I guess the persuader functions to eyelander like the big earner does the kunai, the former focuses on mobility and the latter more on health.
