The ONLY Movement + SWORD Guide You'll EVER NEED... COMPLETE RUNDOWN - The Finals

[@Eidorian510]

DISCLAIMER: Back when i made this video, I INTENTIONALLY left out ghost swings and emote-cancels due to the nature of them being "exploits" and i'd rather not risk people who watch this video get banned or start crutching them. ALSO - sword attacks CAN PIERCE NOW!! no need to worry about only hitting one enemy. huge buff hope u enjoyed the video!!

[@alexpark1821]

Thanks for the guide sir, btw are you planning on posting more sword play highlights in general? Almost watched/enjoyed all your finals vids and waiting for more 🥺

[@Eidorian510]

@@alexpark1821 yes i will! some sword katana vid coming soon :)

My first time making a video like this, my editing skills aren't too polished, but i made sure to cut as much fluff as possible! enjoy the video :)

[@kriztiannelson13]

Only god, or whatever has created humans has the answer, giving humans the ability to talk, walk, love, feel happiness, eat, text over the internet with no discipline, etc, was the biggest mistake ever because it is overcasted by hate.

[@moonmanwun]

Genuinely good guide video for sword. Every guide video I watch is just a 30 minute session in the practice range with little to no actual in game examples to show what they are talking about. Also good on mentioning the weakness which is also something every other guide doesnt do.

[@ersonp349]

finally Eidorian dropped this guide! Now I can be the #1 sword fighter in The Finals!! 😍😍😍

thanks for the guide dude, the second i saw one of your videos I knew i wanted to be good at this sick ass play style. Thanks for the inspo and guide.

[@TumpyGFX]

Amazing guide!

[@theactionwindow5008]

Been watching your sword videos for a while now mate, absolutely cracking stuff. Nice job with the video as well! Editing is one of those things that you can spend a life time learning, it's very rewarding :) thanks for making this one!

[@TreeZenn]

Finally 🔥 was waiting for this

[@baboonbanana99]

great guide! crazy how much better i am after watching this!

[@S.Marquis]

As a recent sword main this video has been gold to me, a lot of mobility here is super familiar to me on controller. Ive done a few things like jumping then sliding after the charge attack dash but to see this all explained out in FULL detail with stuff I didn’t know about is just gold, W video, def gonna sub🫡😮‍💨

[@itstscotty_]

you’re my inspo man🙏🏽

[@getvooped]

I went to try to emulate and figured this all out, but it was nice to confirm some smaller things I was not sure on. Great stuff man!

[@jadawong9925]

FINALLY!!!! ive been waiting for this guide for so long!!!!!! 😎😎😎

[@ScrimboTheWise]

Great video, so many tiny things i didnt know about the sword tech. I love your content man you're the one who inspired me to pick up the sword and one trick light

[@swykitsune6836]

[@blackskull3276]

This is by far the best sword God I've seen I would love to see more. Especially if you were to go through a game and then step by step pause it explaining what you're doing in your line of thinking If that makes sense

[@dandyrue]

I share the sentiment about the grenades, they're so fun and getting those lights / mediums while they're chasing is so satisfying

[@suntzu6122]

Ikr. Every single util seems strong or usable or has some huge draw towards it but i cant give up my frag 😂

[@josephborges359]

Very straight to the point and informative. Great vid!

[@sebastian114]

Only picked up the game few hours ago and found the sword... so of course I fell in love with it, but I went for stealth sword play and can definetly see now why the dash is superior. Ill definetly try this cause the swords is just a bundle of fun.

[@MrDilwo]

There's actually a faster and more consistent way to do the one shot medium combo. Just switch the quick melee for the left click in your combo. It saves a couple frames because for some reason doing the light attack after the quickmelee cancel from lunge also cancels the startup animation of the light attack. Personally I find it easier to do as well since I can't accidentally quick melee before the left click hits. So Lunge>QuickMelee>Gadgetswap>Light attack.

[@Eidorian510]

theres a lot of tech like that in the game but i consider them exploits and dont want to promote that kinda gameplay. so i purposefully left them out

[@CaptainJelloMLG]

W man promoting good sportsmanship

[@MrDilwo]

@@Eidorian510 By definition you're already doing it with the normal combo. You're still using gadget swap animation cancelling, it's the same thing being applied in both cases. Just one instance is faster than the other due to the different animation times. We'll see if Embark removes animation cancelling and considers it an exploit since they did remove movement techs already. Either way, it's a game and I love seeing your skill expression so play how you like!

[@Drellottabaze]

Imagine learning all this just to get constantly nuked by a MHH team

[@SmickyD]

been waiting for this video! this patch is looking real good for dash/sword. have you explored using the sword with aim assist off?

Bro thank you so much I've been hoping you would make one of these videos 🙏🙏🙏

[@alexsascensionacademy]

Holy moly this guide is INSANE! Took me only 2 games to 1v3 a MLL team 10 sec before game ends and stole the cashout! Got into it fast, THANKS MAN!

[@siftinrdaegmond5681]

Thank you for your guide. It’s cool

[@yvan2218]

Something to remember, if youre having trouble with the slide post dash jump, you need to remember to have the sprint button held to trigger slide when you press crouch. The guide didnt explicitly say it, but it does show in his inputs and in my testing.

[@sauteedpotato]

As someone who’s played Celeste, the second I heard ‘Superdash’ I knew it was now my goal to become the best sword player in the finals

[@draunt7]

Holy shit this is Gunz level of sword play. This is so hype. I love the ceiling being so high.

[@mrdemonslayer6285]

I took that Genji part personally man - I avoided the sword because it was apart of the light class.. saw this video and passed by it. Then I saw a reaction video on the #1 sword montage video shroud approved and I was like “I have to know”

[@Poooopdollar]

You answered my biggest question which was why so many times I charged my heavy attack went in spamming melee and not understanding why my heavy attack didn't hit anything.... that's gonna save me a lot of deaths 🤣 You the GOAT

[@Ax3LoW]

Amazing gameplay dude!!!!

[@WallerJu]

Love ur content.Keep it cool!❤

[@nanobotics]

Your videos are so good!

[@pahtatoe6751]

If you use the lunge attack, then switch to the sword via the L1 on console, it will animation cancel so you can start charging the lunge again faster.

[@malikmartin2263]

Man if I see anyone with a melee weapon I run away cause you gotta be crazy and confident to bring a sword to a gun fight, Batman need to join the finals to take you out 😂

[@brentrandolph3361]

Great explanation of the sword movement techs. With the many changes we’ve seen over the past few months, have you modified your technique at all?

[@topyonlinee]

This video is crazy bro tysm! And btw thanks for saying that termal isn't useless because there are people who say that and they're completely wrong!!

[@griever-1317]

Did Patch changed 1.5.0 something? The slide jump still works after launch+dash? Path notes: Vaulting Fixed an issue where players could gain extreme speed by picking up objects that were being vaulted on Updated vaulting to feel snappier and be more aligned to ledges

[@tiiimeless.1]

Those changes were to stop Prop Surfing and Supergliding. They shouldn't affect the Sword or Dash

[@JDAWGs24]

bro slick with the genji thumb nail

[@dragonflymike]

Great video. It would be so amazing to be able to have your friends in with you during practice. Imagine seeing this but also being able to see it from another person perspective.

[@bailjames5888]

Best sword player I've seen

[@doremiancleff1508]

I have nothing but a respect for sword dash lights. I play heavy sledge and it's always fun dueling you guys, compared to predominant invis stun and shoot rats out there.

[@chrisdang2927]

Do you have any advice for control players? Movement feels a bit off as well as finding the right sensitivity 😅

[@epicranger22]

I love how in this game any weapon can be good unlike other games which have strict metas.

[@deusvult333]

this game has the most strict meta in any fps right now lol. FCAR dominated the game with recon senses

[@mkvader1165]

so you know after you lunge and melee there is a delay before you can swing again. You can melee and at the same time animation cancel by swiching to util and back to primary as your meleeing to instantly swing your sword again. the animation is pretty funny because it shows you swinging durring the melee attack, Its really good against heavies and mediums as it takes more than a lunge and melee to kill. but make sure you melee slightly before the cancel.

[@3zOzXzoom]

8:42 I CHECKED MY DISCORD

[@puschock3118]

10:55 what was the 3rd "dash" in that string? I count 4 in total

[@Eidorian510]

slide

[@TipTopNinjaTheFinals]

Well done to theorize this so well. See my vids you ll see on more extra crazy things you didn t say or maybe you didn t know. With only one big hit you can hit 2 times the same guy. One time when you charge him and after overpass him you can turn round on the same movement and hit it a 2nd time. But it s like other combo, really hard to manage timing and control of all of that while being shooted by bullets :D The sword is the strongest weap and which requires the most mastery so it makes the most wonderful moves and makes sworders the master of control !

yea the bat i play it on stream

@@Eidorian510 nice

[@danieladams1752]

Doesn’t dash break invis though? Probably best to just sprint to make the most of the vanish bomb unless you’re going for that surprise factor

[@TheSozeone]

out of curiosity, are there any settings youd recommend for this playstyle? also what resolution do you play at?

[@sunnychan951]

True master

[@fieryfirefly5769]

I noticed another bit of sword tech I've seen wasn't shown here. Is the double tapping left click and cancel the second swing with right click lunge doing a weird force hit in the middle of the combo actually good or just fancy?

[@rudyanthony4483]

subbed! thanks fir vid

[@Breezylovesyou]

You spawned me from the first video lol

[@chocomilo1628]

How do you slide after dashing?

[@calp1989]

Could you explain a lil more th "bunny" jump? im not able to do it. Also, I dont fine "effective" using the dash hotkey in Q, make harder for me to use "WASD" hotkeys, any suggestions?

[@danieladams1752]

Sorry for the comment spam, your tips are good. I don’t use the stun gun cause I’m on roller and the radial isn’t as efficient to switch through, so I use the pyro instead. Pyro obv has multi uses (destroys goo and gas) but it’s also the only nade that goes off instantly where it lands. If I see a team huddled up together I’ll throw the pyro just to make them panic and a little weaker. I have frags too but pyro is better for moving targets imo. If I remember correctly flames obscure player vision as well, I’ll need to see what the damage is with the combos. If sg ever gets a proper nerf I think pyro will be a decent replacement

[@Cryptonomous]

you can rebind on controller so u dont use that stupid wheel

[@c_syazwansabri9345]

what keyboard u use?

[@RoySTYX]

Whats your sensitivity setting?

[@maxovrkll]

Happy to be of inspiration. If you want to really be good, drop the stun gun and the nades, get some goo and emps. Also, I don't arm bump melee, whoever keeps teaching you kids that's what daddy is doing is lying to you.

[@chrisdang2927]

In practice mode, every now again when I try the heavy + dash on controller my character will just dash to the right?

[@Bomb_defuser]

Do you think console players (such as me) can use this movement and combos or is it something only pc players can do

[@danieladams1752]

The stun gun changes feel a little better, I think it needs to be a flat 3 seconds idk what the .75 is about.

The one thing Eidoran does not say in these videos is that he would have never gotten to Diamond without a constant premade. Sword solo queue is one of the most miserable experiences you can have in this game. I have tried it time and time again because sword is fun. Problem is, no one is pushing in these games, they just stand still in a firefight. You cannot push enemies because of recon, and when you push you get beamed from all directions, especially since most fights are on rooftops. I am plat 2 and it is impossible to rank with sword as a solo queue.

[@Eidorian510]

i solo queued to d1

[@deusvult333]

how many hours that took lol I have 300h in the game and im plat 2...stuck here. Not the same mechanics as you ofc but I always end 1v3ing and I die. Constantly get bronze/silvers in team@@Eidorian510

[@deusvult333]

btw I watched ur streams and you seem to suffer the same stuff, just that I see way more clueless people in your games idk maybe its a Europe server thing. Here even if you dance with a dash through and dash back people just insta track you idk@@Eidorian510

[@mypth1102]

Question; I have a 14" mousepad and one full slide from right to left gets me about a turn and a half of screen movement. (Cant remember my sens settings so this is the best description) would anyone recommend higher sense for sword or is this sufficient? I play the finals and apex mainly and i like to keep my sense roughly the same from game to game so it doesnt mess me up.
