How to Get Good at V Rising? 5 Tips for PVP

[@ceadeusx]

Played v rising on ea release for 300h, was pretty decent with my chaos build. Then stopped playing until 2 weeks ago. I must say that for me as a competitive player that liked the old full spell power build it was and still is pretty daunting to think about using all weapons. I played 100h in the last 2 weeks in prep for 1.0. 70-80 were on a private server with my 2 mates to see what gloomrot changed and the rest were us 3 fighting 1v1s in v arena. Its obviously not optimal since we are all on same-ish skilllevel but the before and after is still significant. I have trouble to switch in the heat of a fight but im able to use 2-3 weapons (axe, gs, spear) pretty decently now. My biggest problem is finding keys to use more then 3 weapons and the musclememory to actually perform thos swaps. For spells... we found our fav builds and know a bit of their strenghts and weaknesses. For me as im still heavily spell focused i prefer chaos volley or void in combination with discharge. I also watched every video from u and other v rising pvp content creators sohuge thanks for all those nice videos. Im looking forward to see more of then after 1.0 release

[@chappllgr]

Thanks I'm happy to hear you're enjoying the videos :D Gloomrots been very physical power focus throughout so hopefully we'll have a bit of a shift in 1.0 that sees builds like yours become a bit better As for weapon swaps it is tricky to adjust when first getting used to adding them in - if you have any mouse buttons free I recommend trying trying to use those as well. My bindings on hotbar are 12345 H(bound to mouse) zc

[@1Joren]

One tip I would give when choosing number key bindings for example, is to figure out the most used skill (Q or E) of a weapon and bind to a key that is diagonal from it. E.g. don't put spear on 1 because pressing 1 and then Q is much more awkward then pressing 3 and then Q. Pistol would be a good choice for 1 because you only use the E ability. This tip helped me a lot!

For sure can attest to the V Arena speed boost in experience. You simply can't get as much experience elsewhere. You'll see huge improvement in even a single session of playing when you put your mind to it, let alone a week or 2. The mechanics come surprisingly quickly when it's the entire point of what you're doing. Even if you were to stop grinding after getting used to swapping with even a moderate amount of weapons, you'll be head and shoulders above the majority of players in this game. I managed to get comfortable with all weapons in a couple weeks of casually playing a couple hours every other day or so. Long way to go but it's wild to experience the difference from first starting and then getting better and playing someone else who is first starting. It's like playing a completely different game.

[@gfnoobs1]

Great and all but you have 700 ping in v arena from some places :( so we cant use it

[@DanteV42]

yo its Timmy. youre actually who convinced me to learn pvp

[@Japanbot]

I've just done couple of wipes on v-rising in some chill pvp server like 100h total or smth like that, the other day i joined V-Arena to get some rust of my bones. At first everyone was clapping me so hard, almost perfect me, i grind a bit on it and improve my combos, now pvp gods still claps me ofc, but atleast i can hit my combos :D

[@chappllgr]

ay nice, glad to hear you've been seeing some quick improvement

[@skizso]

another great Video thx man your the best

ty for v rising content)

[@otaviofontes8388]

Would be nice see some builds, like frozen or sanguine!!

[@megitsune714]

can you give some tips about keyboard bind settings? do i need a mause with extra buttons? i saw your spells are binded to L and K, assuming those are on the mause, what button keymap would you suggest for openworld and not arena? healing items in inventory etc?

[@chappllgr]

If you have side buttons for mouse I heavily recommend using these for spells as it means you can have full movement while aiming. As for healing items with only 8 hot bar slots I recommend getting used to keeping them in inventory

[@mithranruwodoalvisbeseitri9811]

I tried getting into PvP but honestly everyone I met thus far when I tried doing combos were so far ahead I couldnt do anything let alone even hit them lol (My main problems are though that I missclick sometimes between R and C or click E by accident dont know why since C seems more intuitive, or I get stun locked into oblivion while missing every skill) Edit: This kinda makes me wish V-Rising had an option to set dummies that move to try and combo skills on them

[@chappllgr]

It’s a tricky learning curve to get into but try stick at it. Combos and everything becomes muscle memory eventually. It’s a rough time starting out vs experienced players youre lose a lot but that happens to everyone myself included whilst learning

[@mithranruwodoalvisbeseitri9811]

@@chappllgr I didnt expect to win, its just that I didnt expect to fuck up that bad under pressure from players given some of the bosses

[@isiahaguilar]

Is V Arena a modded server we have to download in the internet or we can join in game? Im planning on buying the game on v1.0 release. Ive watched streamers before playing it on release and the gloomrot dlc, and i liked it but i didnt play because i was waiting for the full release

[@chappllgr]

No extra downloads/mods required it's just a server you can join like any other :)

Tip 1 : Listen to ChipSa Tip 2 : You are not better than ChipSa Tip 3 : ChipSa is #1 Tip 4 : ChipSa Tip 5 : ChipSa is the Goat so that brings it back to Tip 1

[@daniolekmroz]

There is one difference between varena server and the others. Maybe someone of you had same problem and found a result. While im in heat of the fight sometimes happens a shitty thing to me. I mean im pressing 2 times same button. If it's a button with weapon that makes me trouble, cuz i am weaponless for a second. On Varena server it doesn't work like that(weapon is kinda locked) If there is an option or smth to lock weapon on a button and u know that, let me know. Thank you for any tips in advance. :)

[@chappllgr]

Theres not a server setting for this as far as Im aware but if you go into options > HUD there is one called toggle equip mode. If you turn this off then you won't swap to weaponless if you press a weapon twice

[@daniolekmroz]

@@chappllgr It works, thank you alot !

[@errm9573]

TDLR; Play Arena.

[@radeon5981]

I cannot seem to connect to the NA server or EU

[@johnnyvu6911]

I can't join the servers either

[@anomalyevolution40]

I'm curious how good weapon swapping will be in 1.0

[@chappllgr]

It will certainly still be good but I can imagine seeing more viable play styles with solo weapons opening up

[@Daminionz]

weapon swapping should be abolished, everytime you swap make animation like drinking potion. if you can have 8 weapons, why can't you have 8 spells then

[@loadscreen1011]

​@@Daminionz I think a better solution is to make 2 weapon slots, that can be changed only out of combat

[@Daminionz]

@@loadscreen1011 yeah absolutely agree. Another alternative would be, you know how when you want to heal you have to stand still and wait for the animation to happen - do that same thing for weapon equip. Your first one equips instantly, sure, but if you want to swap to something else you have to wait for an animation.

[@HrapVideoGames]

do I have to cary a lot of weopons ?

[@chappllgr]

High level pvp has centred around diverse weapon swapping for a while but I think 1.0 will open up more playstyles that cater to solo weapon

[@johnnyvu6911]

​@@chappllgris the discord servers gone? I can't join them

[@Driblus]

Just an idea: How about no one played on arena servers and no one had to get 100's of hours of OW fight experience to handle any sort of PvP. Imo, that would be better. For everyone. But thats not how it is now.

[@CheyFos]

I'm on ps5 so idk if I can even join a pvp area

[@chappllgr]

@@CheyFos I’m not sure what the servers are like for ps5 but unfortunately there is no varena there 😓 players may have set up something similar but it wouldn’t be with mods

[@CheyFos]

@@chappllgr I'm new to pvp and looking to make a healer/tank build. I know brute blood is good for healing but movement speed is slow. Maybe I could use dracula shadow gear with it for movement speed? I know blood fountain is good too

[@chappllgr]

@@CheyFos Unfortunately brute blood is quite bad even for this kind of build that you would think would get good value from it. For a tanky healing build I'd recommend either of these - Blood fountain is not great overall but for a more off meta build you can try scholar, fountain with dread set: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWqrZ6V_jMp9ldksi=wRfFP8IJSWOoyPx7&t=329 Another kind of tanky healing build is blood rage, cold snap. This is actually the number 1 build in the game at the moment for both open world and arena PVP and is by far the most common right now among top players. You could play this with dread set for more tankyness and healing or shadow for more damage and MS and the same for blood with warrior or rogue blood - any mix between those is good. This is not a build I play much but heres a very recent video from another good PVP player on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2rac6lrgJimpbM Hope this helps :)
