The medieval subclass tier list for Chivalry 2!

[@JadsterNZ1]

Only KZbinr I've seen that considers archer as a class. Very good job

[@klevinduck]

It’s a decent class for sure. In English history they used to have a 1 MAA/Knight to 9 archer ratio. Shooting pointy sticks is quite powerful.

[@mihaigraur2217]

Wonderful video! Love how much effort you put into the editing, great style!! Keep up the good work! Its the first video I have seen from you, it just popped up in the feed. Can’t wait to see more from you!

[@klevinduck]

Thanks for watching!

[@aaankms4450]

Cool video. (I have never played Chivalry in my life and I've watched the entire thing)

[@klevinduck]

Thanks for watching :)

He's back with chiv content, babe! Also, I love the common crow since you've abandoned our bird friends 😂

[@klevinduck]

I haven't abandoned the birds! Being real with you I just haven't felt like posting much lately but I feel like once I get back into the swing of things it'll be alright.

[@jrobbins707]

@klevinduck fully understandable. Side note: Have you seen the Hitchcock film 'the birds'?

[@klevinduck]

Naw

[@StanMuso]

Always love your chiv2 posts. Sidenote, what's your favorite bird?

[@ryanglover7299]

A swallow 😂

[@klevinduck]

The Laughing Kookaburra is my favourite for a few reasons. 1. Has a great laugh which makes me happy. 2. Looks cute but is an extremely cunning bird. I made a Chivalry video talking about a Kookaburra story of mine. 3. They are native to my area so I see them often enough. What's your favourite bird? I'll add it to the bird of the day list.

[@StanMuso]

@@klevinduck the kookaburra is an awesome choice, a very Aussie bird lol. One of my favorites is the Mississippi Kite. I've got a nesting pair that lives behind my house. Their call is pretty unique

[@rudolphantler6309]

I just started less than a week ago. My favorites: Officer, Skirmisher, Man-at-Arms Not interested: Field Engineer in its current state, Ambusher Had a hard time playing as: Devastator, Raider, Poleman Chill fallback: Crossbowman The others just don't stand out so much yet: Guardian, Crusader, Longbowman Having trouble figuring out why my character sometimes doesn't do what I click him to do. And it is hard to apply useful tricks in the heat of battle. Being able to perform a triple feint doesn't mean I can do it anytime. Playing mostly third person to get a feel for the situational awareness. Also having trouble measuring the distance where Jabs and Kicks would work. But at least the occasions are obvious. Additionally having extreme trouble finding shields on maps when I lost mine or want to get one if I didn't have one at all.

[@klevinduck]

Hi again. Officer I would say is a great starting subclass for beginners. The knight class is general is great because of its high health pool and really reliable weapons. Field engineer is perfect to team based objective play but in direct combat it is quite bad. Ambusher has a lot of nuance to it that a new player won't understand right off the rip but overall it isn't really a good class and can be hard to play. Devastator and Raider are part of the Vanguard class which I think is hard for new players in general because of the lower health pool compared to knight or footman. The relatively increased speed and stamina won't help if you don't have good footwork or can't dodge attacks well. Poleman is great due to it's long reaching weapon but you really need to have good teammates on the frontline to thrive. In direct combat Poleman's weapons are a bit clunky to use and you can feel like you're getting rushed down. Crossbowman is really chill for beginners so good pick haha. Longbowman is harder to play but has a lot more killing potential. All of the points you bring up about applying combat tricks, situational awareness, finding shields, etc are really learned by playing and getting a feel for the game. You'll get the hang of things eventually so don't get disheartened if things don't click right away. I've made several beginner guides that are really basic because the points you bring up above are simply learned by playing more.

[@rudolphantler6309]

Thanks. The problem I have with Devastator, Raider, and Poleman is that their weapons' attack speed is so slow, enemies with even slightly faster attack speed can run circles around me. And it's not like I'm playing duels either, I'm mostly in practice mode. I'm actually doing the same to them when I wield a Short Sword.

[@klevinduck]

I see what you mean. When I first started playing I only used fast weapons like the one handed mace. When you get used to spacing and using footwork to side step attacks using big weapons that are slower becomes easier. Checkout my highland sword video and you’ll see that even when using one of the slowest weapons a lot of damage can be done with good positioning.

[@rudolphantler6309]

I don't like one-handed maces in this game, but the short sword is pretty good. Oddly enough since I last replied I had great successes with the HEAVY MACE! That thing seems oddly good. Sadly, a lot of times the game is unplayable for those who didn't play Chivalry before because there is no SBMM, level 1000 players destroy lobbies and outright deny gameplay or fun or sportmanship. I've grown accustomed to outright leaving matches where there is a player above level 400 or so which I absolutely cannot stand up to. There is a point where losing so hard has nothing to teach. But sadly sometimes those same level 1000s use alternate smurfer accounts below level 200 to use the same skills to yet again destroy any semblance of fun the game could have had and laugh and teabag all their way to their own real life failure. But on an unrelated note. Is this game still being developed by the makers? I heard the last update was about 4-5 months ago with the Goadendag, right? Or is it abandoned now? Because the Vote Kick system is broken, the matchmaking autobalance is also absolutely broken especially considering bots shouldn't even matter, the battle pass campaigns require third party authentication fixes to function properly, and it is a real shame that the Falx weapons are only skins yet not distinct weapons.

[@klevinduck]

Game is no longer receiving content updates. It's fun but will bleed player count. In the last couple of updates skill based team balanced was introduced for the start of the round. There is sometimes mid-game autobalance but at this point the good players will still play the game and newer players will keep getting matched up against veterans. It's like that for all niche games with hardcore fanbases.

I enjoy unique, individual perspectives amongst the meta muck. Thank u (:

[@RONIN_-pb2ob]

Hi,im a relativly new player and pretty much the whole community hates soo much on archers like they are completly overpowerd and i really don't understand why.Sure there annoying but op???You have to actually aim to get kills.So in crowd modes like TO its way easier to get high kill games with melee weapons than it is with ranged weapons.I really don't get the hate.And i really apprieciate you opinion about archers and that you don't downright curse everyone who picks them. One of the only solid rankings i found👏👏👏

[@klevinduck]

Welcome to the game and I hope you’re having a good time :) People don’t like archers because there’s not much counterplay against ranged attacks beyond stay out of line of sight or use a shield. That’s what makes archer so powerful but also why it’s hated, especially by high level melee players. A lot of players have big egos and you can put them in their place with a few well placed shots.

[@RONIN_-pb2ob]

@@klevinduck yeah had a great time so far,its really a gem.before i have Played mostly battlefields and star wars battlefront.And chiv 2 really feels like an medival battlefield. Thx for your reply and best of luck to you👍

[@rudolphantler6309]

Hello I'm a newcomer. What game mode is the one in which I can get to that snowy level in the beginning of the video?

[@klevinduck]

Hi. Hope you're having a good time so far :) The snowy level is called Thayic Stronghold. It is a Team Objective (TO) map and you can get to it via 64 or 48 player mixed modes from the quick play menu. In the server browser you can look for TO | Stronghold to get it as well. Hope that helps.

[@rudolphantler6309]

Thanks!

[@penguinvicker6476]

very different tier list

[@klevinduck]

Yep. Just my opinion. I think I know what most people want to hear in terms of rankings but that's not what I believe.

Good suggestion!

[@Rompstirdg]

All the archer classes should be in C for cowardly

[@Slydaslime]

My go 2 is normally for every class crossbowman for ranged amusher for the crusaders field engineer for footman and crusader for knight

[@klevinduck]

I like that. For me it's longbowman for archer, ambusher for vanguard, man-at-arms for footman, and officer for knight.

It feels like I set this video to 2x speed with the way he talks. I had to check my settings if they weren’t adjusted by accident. No, he just speaks strangely

[@klevinduck]

I do. The whole time I while recording I told myself to speak slower. I usually speak too fast at work which is bad when working with older clients.

[@sleufffff]

man I didn't even notice

[@AKcedricdu06]

As a shovel and dagger main (chad), im highly disapointed x( Seriously ambusher is op and shovel is the best engi weapon for 1v1 (and its good in 1vX because of it speed) This video is full of bllsht, bye.

[@klevinduck]

You can have your own opinion. I have 10 ambusher videos on my channel because I love the class but it’s not as good as the others in my opinion. One of the first weapons I ever mained was shovel but the more I used it the more I recognised its shortfalls. I hope you find peace, thanks for watching, and goodbye :)
