Everyone knows that the blade of the sword only exists to nerf the existence of the pommel, otherwise it would be a weapon of mass destruction.

[@simonnachreiner8380]

Tbh in plate armor v plate armor sword fights the pommel really was the business end. Blade is pretty much useless as any dude who wants to live will guard his joints from a blade but a 6 lbs cross guard (cross guard in a balanced sword is equal in weight to the _entire_ blade) is a pretty good purpose built bludgeon.

[@Klovaneer]

@@simonnachreiner8380 Do you mean to say that 12 lbs swords were a regular sight? Even zweihanders only got to around 9. Also not sure how dissecting sword sections by weight gonna influence things, you always work with a lever.

[@patrickdusablon2789]

@@simonnachreiner8380 how can the crossguard on a 3-4 pound sword weigh in at 6 pounds? Hell, Castille Armory's heaviest longsword pommel is 15 ounces... But what makes the pommel hit so much harder is that it's usually a solid chunk of steel, with no flex or give, which makes it a whole lot of concentrated force.

[@ExtremeMan10]

@@fayruzzee Crossbows take to long to load and were primaly used in defense.

Kingdom come deliverance is amazing.

[@frankbalooga7263]

Another detail in the combat is that sometimes, your opponent wont let you keep hitting him, he'll do those counter attacks and those clinches and even dodge. I swear, if I had a penny for every time Bernard stopped me from performing those combo attacks...

[@witoldschwenke9492]

yea combo attacks are basically impossible against any opponent that is actually a threat to you. They are possible against really weak opponents. Weirdly enough even peasants constantly block and counter attack a maxed out level 20 swordmanship henry.

[@ExtremeMan10]

@@witoldschwenke9492 Its because of the stamina. Bernard tells you that you have to wear the enemy down before you do any tricky moves. Best is this seen with Runt or Zoul, both of them are hands down the hardest bosses in the game (excluding the old knight you find in Sasau during main quest) and its impossible to perform it on them as they will riposte the last hit if they have stamina.

[@kj12351]

Not true. You could just win a clinch then stab em in face or combo. Perfect parry then a fave stab or combo. You can also be a monster and win the clinch or perfect parry then face stab then combo. If you make the head bleed they will have a harder time with the parry. Also, don't use the same move over and over. The face stab works SUPER well efter you win the clinch.

[@SIG442]

My major issue with what these guys are saying vs what we see on screen... Yeah sorry, doesn't really make much sense. If you have a opponent that is armored you would need to adapt to the right tactic to beat that opponent. This depending on the armor type and where they are wearing that specific armor. You can try to stab a opponent that's wearing a metal armor piece to protect his torso, but you won't get many openings. Mainly the armpits, legs, arms and head in that case. Someone wearing a full armor suit is even much better protected, you will have very limited opportunities to 'jab' your spiky object at them. Armpits are often a favorite target again, between the legs if you manage to get there (but rather risky). The back side of the knees is a obvious point and the ankles depending on the armor. The hands are also a weak point but also that depends on the type of gloves they wearing. If someone would be wearing a finger glove type armor it would be likely that a good chop with your sword will sever a finger if not destroy the entire hand. However a glove that looks more like a boxing glove (back side of the hand that is, not the inside else you can't grab a sword obviously), then you will likely be able to deflect a strike much easier and there for it's less likely to be a ideal spot to strike. Although to be fair the wrists are still a possible weak spot depending on how the armor is made. For chainmail, unlike popular believe, stabbing that can have mixed results. Yes, they are individual tiny rings which together make it a very strong defense. However that doesn't mean it's fool proof. It just means that the chance of surviving is a bit bigger. You can get lucky with your jab and penetrate it just right, or unlucky and the armor manages to save your opponent. The quality of both the weapon as the chainmail will obviously play a factor as well. For people who wish to think the cloth on top of the armor will save you as well, sorry to bust your dreams. That is no more then the red vs blue type of thing you see in a video game. It's there to show your colors to show what side you belong to, not to protect you. There is underneath the armor often padding that is protecting you from blows mostly, to some extend stabbing as well. However that usually counts for the torso only, with in some cases also arms and legs. Feet are usually not included and the head is usually protected by a helmet, which is actually on top of a inner layer that also can serve as protection against blows. But also make it a bit more comfortable to actually wear that metal trashcan on your head. For slashing vs armored targets, yeah sorry... That Hollywood nonsense isn't working irl. The armor will block those attempts and your target will be perfectly safe to counter and likely kill you in a single blow. Trying to slash a armored target is suicide.
