Grail Knight has the Most Satisfying Melee Combat in Warhammer

[@supak15]

Gotta hand it to Fatshark how they nailed the melee combat, feels heavy, impactful and responsive. Cant wait to see darktide in action.

[@TacticalReaper56]

Hope the gun play is relatively smooth. I really like the idea of them doing gunplay with bolters than black powder.

The Grail Knight and the Longsword in general are just so damn satisfying. When you master the flow of the Longsword, moving between its combos for different enemy types and casually parrying attacks mid heavy swing, you feel like a god.

It is a good class, but I just can't wrap my head around Sir Kruber turning his back on the empire to become french of all things. That's worse than chaos.

[@manfredthegreat]

This! 😂😂👍 I feel like Kruber is made for the Empire. Bretonnia is a totally different thing. And if Fatshark really wanted to add a Bretonnian they should have made a sixth class.

I mean by Vermintide 2 the Empire is pretty much non-existent thanks to the End Times. If the apocalypse was going on and I was given the opportunity to become basically a demigod I'd take it too.

[@guillercuastico]

Grail Knight is about one of my favorite classes, if not the most. But still, it kinda bugs me after all this time we didnt get a proper Bretonnian, and Kruber becoming a Grail Knight out of nowhere. I wish we had a real support character in such a coop-focused game in the form of a Bretonnian Damsel. Beast or Life lore would had been soooo great to see in Vermintide, and her interactions with Saltspyre about Sigmar vs The Lady, or with a wood elf with Kerillian personality ... just awesome.

[@siegfriedgottz698]

@@guillercuastico i wanted to see some more unique takes like a vampire character or a dark elf, because in the lore they do fight with the good side against chaos at the end even though they are evil ish sorta. imagine a vamp character thats a necro, a sorc and then a blood knight would be super cool! maybe next vermintide they do new characters that are not standard and they have orcs and more chaos infuenced factions

[@milkandcookiesTW]

[@fuckoff565]

It's an excellent weapon for sure

[@axelwedelin92]

I don't understand the hype, when I've used it on Merc or FK in CW I always feel like it can't keep hordes at bay and my health gets chipped away by single rats who aren't caught in cleave

[@Emrirwastaken]

@@axelwedelin92 my technique for bret sword is hold heavy to block attacks, swing, and dodge back. Works very well in champ or legend, dont know about cata, dont have winds of magic

[@JPG.01]

Just a few quick tips on using the Bretonnian weapons. With the longsword, you don't finish your full attack string, there is almost no circumstance when you're going to want to do that. Only if there are few armored targets mixed in a horde and you can hit them reliably with the third attack, for all other hordes it's light attack>light attack>block cancel>repeat. For mixed hordes, you can also do light attack>heavy attack>light attack>heavy attack repeat ad infinitum. For armor it's pretty simple: Push-block attack>heavy attack>light attack. For the bret sword and shield you almost never want to do the push block attack. Except when fighting storm vermin with shields because stabs ignore shields. You can follow that push block attack up with a heavy attack for another stab. So don't do that in a horde scenario. Want to want to do is push>quick bash>repeat until you get into a situation where you can switch back to a horde clearing weapon. Or go light attack>heavy bash>quick bash. Insanely good for thp when you run the stagger for thp talent. It's like a small Foot Knight charge.

[@marcocivalerian9099]

[@Butzebaer]

There were some real butt-clenching moments in this one. Absolutely love watching high level play like that. Especially with your commentary. And I also don't get how you could not like the melee in Vermintide 2. It's great and is only elevated by the spectacular feedback on hits, seeing limbs fly, enemies stumble, dismembered rats clutching the bloody stump were their arm used to be. Just so satisfying.

[@xenophon1999]

I would still have to go with Slayer Bardin for most satisfying combat, jump into a crowd and go nuts with the cog hammer. Is it precise? No. But by Grimnir that bonking noise as Skaven heads go flying is magical.

[@siegfriedgottz698]

3:53 There's only been two decent melee FPS games ever made: Dark Messiah (mostly for the kicking) and Vermintide. Every time an FPS game has melee weapons and they don't work like VT, it's an instant disappointment. I'd honestly like to hear what _their kind_ thinks is a good FPS melee system.

[@siegfriedgottz698]

chiv and mord are good but they are more multiplayer games

[@MiguelSanchezDelVillar]

The almighty kick from Dark Messiah is too powerful to appear in other games

[@will.roman-ros]

The only better FPS system is from Mount and Blade Warband. Blending the two would be sweet. Do more dmg while stepping forward, and less on the back foot. Swiping different directions yields different strikes. As well, striking with the end of the weapon does more dmg than striking with the hilt, or mid-weapon.

[@Lamp37820]

I don't want to come off rude, but do you know about the unique push/bash the bret sword and shield has? If you let go of guard after pushing and do a light attack, you will bash with the shield. It is much safer than doing the push-stab-bash and it comes out faster. None of the other shield weapons in the game have this unique light attack after pushing. In fact, it is the only melee weapon to have a different light attack after pushing.

Honestly better off with Shield and Mace for hordes, because for whatever reason blunt weapons have more cleave. Also Morgiana le Fay isn't Lileath, different goddesses.

No, you’re better off sticking with Bret longsword for horde and switching to a shielded weapon for its push-block into shield bash if you need to create space. At which point it’s up to personal preference which shield you choose. That being said, Bret sword and shield has the fastest push-block bash combo in the game, by far..
