I mean, poise is pretty much the only reason Outriders can win against Corvian Knights. They are very similar in terms of aggressiveness and combo-ability, and bleed is much more reliable for damage than frost. Thing is, Outriders are minibosses, unlike Ringed and Corvian Knights.

Outrider Knights are probably the best PvE "Knights". They have low attack delays, they frostbite meaning the rest of the attacks they use deal more damage due to the percentage increase, they have *P O I S E* , they have a high health pool and they deal above average poise damage. I think they have the mettle to beat a few actual bosses, maybe Abyss Watchers for instance. And a group of them would be terrifying.

All these videos really highlight the fact that bosses/enemies really don't dodge much, if at all. They facetank everything and rely on brute force with higher hp than the player character. All of these are pretty much just enemies swinging away at each other, and whoever does the most damage the quickest wins. Dodge roll is the ashen one's biggest strength!

[@marcofoladori7123]

Yup. There's a reason the one Ringed Knight with no shield did best relative to the Outrider Knight. Being aggressive and killing the enemy is always better than playing safe and defensively. Shields are fine as long as they don't engender passivity 😉

Didn't quite expect this outcome, but the outrider knights have a decent amount of poise and is quite aggressive which I presume helps it out when it does 1 on 1 against a lot of things. I assume the paired greatsword ringed knight was made more aggressive and given more poise to counter the lack of a shield, which is why it almost won.

[@Phaseparagon]

I think I get the meta in these vids. So Poise is king in most fights with whoever has the most poise generally winning. This can change depending on a few factors one is if both foes have high poise or can't be staggered then it comes down to who has the higher HP/Damage. Also if both have low poise then it comes down to who can hit faster/more frequently. The big outlier is if one fighter has a lot more damage then the other, since this changes the odds because if one can stagger the other but takes 20 hits to kill vs the opponent needing only 3 then the odds turn in the 3 hit guys favor. Also a factor to take into account in more even fights is movement since if one can say fly and dodge attacks if done frequently can change the outcome.
