Im still a scrub in this game.
How do I take advantage after blocking someone?
Everytime I meet someone on the same skill level as me we just end up taking turns blocking eachother until one messes up. There's got to be a window of opportunity right?
hit back faster. twist your character's hips and time strikes. Fake out your foes and dont take on more than one person at a time.
Blocking doesn't give you a window for shit, use morphs and feints if you want to take the advantage. Or dodge.
So, what, there's no strategy at all?
If someone is good enough with his parry timing you're fucked?
>subverting your enemy is not strategy
Scroll up and then quickly scroll down. You will morph your stab into a slash and the enemy will try to block your stab but your morphed slash will hit him right when his block is in cooldown
Learn to chamber.
Chambering is hitting the enemy's attacks right as it is about to touch you, right?
Replay the tutorial. Being good at chambering completely changes the momentum of combat. You should be minimizing your use of regular parry whenever possible.
chambering is hard when the opponent keeps fucking morphing
>dark purple
What a phony
All of my characters now look like this and everything was reset.. Has this happened to anyone?
At least my level is the same.
lmao this shit is garbo, warband is better in every way.
morphs
feints
drag the attack
try to outrange or baiting him into attacking
change the mode of your weapon or just throw it at him
you can start swinging immediately after blocking, left click a split second after blocking, or some people say it works to right and left click simultaneously. alternatively, chamber morphs are generally a good way to hit someone that counters your ripostes and chambers. kicks if you get the chance, though if you miss youre left pretty open. other than that just keep on them until youre both out of stamina and lose your swords. someones bound to die in a fist fight where kicking is also a good strategy to change it up
I haven't played this game, so I wouldn't know.
first and foremost ignore most of the combat system. now pick a weapon with range and sprint in and out of combat while doing wide swipes and turning into the attack to accel. that's all there is to getting kills no matter what dumb niggers who try to chamber and spend an entire round doing Honorable Duels only to end up 10-8 say.
throw out all of this advice. if youre dropping your sword youre a fucking retard
i think chambering is easier to use against morphs than blocking because you have to chamber right before it hits you, meaning you have to wait for the person to commit to a swing rather than blocking when you see the windup. it can be tough, but this is the part where you git gud
It will your stamina up if your opponent knows how to parry chambers, though
>git gud
>stolen memes for a game that's made of stolen ideas
mordhau truly is shallow
if you trade constant blows for over a minute or so and neither of you have landed a hit because you're that equal in skill, knocking their weapon out of their hand is a good strategy. it just so happens that if youre 1v1 that usually means youll drop your sword as well, though if you can avoid that then even better
How is this game? I loved Chivalry, somebody redpill me on this.
im sorry your brain doesnt work fast enough to chamber a morph
it's Chivalry but slow
u bad
>You should be minimizing your use of regular parry whenever possible.
Do not fucking do this. You will get absolutely raped by good players.
>dueling faggots thinking anyone cares about their dueling faggotry
the coping niggers so mindfucked by their clunky system that these niggers truly think you have to chamber every fight lmfao
its better chivalry, unless you liked the ballerina shit
If you are good a chambers you are automatically better than the vast majority of players and are one of the "good players" doing the raping. Parrying still has its purpose but in most cases it is objectively inferior to chambering.
its chivalry with deeper combat and not nearly as exploitable, like no backwards overheads and mouse dragging is limited. small number of maps, but 2 new ones are going to be released soon, and modding support is planned
It's obvious who the faggot roleplayers sheltered on their dueling servers are compared to actual gamers playing frontline by the advice coming out of this thread.
Except it isn't, at all
>have to chamber every fight
no one said that, u mad cuz u bad
>parry attack
>have to wind up counter, giving opponent time to react
>chamber attack
>are already winding up counter, still able to morph, giving opponent much less time to react
Yeah okay retard
a good player will block every parry you throw at them becuase it isnt difficult. the only way to hit those people is to chamber and/or chamber morph. the only time that blocking is better than chambering is against multiple people trying to hit you because you can block multiple attacks of different types if theyre about at the same time, whereas chambering blocks only one type of attack, and the aiming and timing is tighter
>constantly topping the scoreboard by spamming thrust with rapier
>every round, every map, every day since release
>raking up nearly 1000 damage taken in one life
>getting 20+ kills per life
where are the "good" players at to stop me? the only people who beat me on the scoreboard are horse fags. i run into people who try to chamber me, or kick me, or feint me, and i just stab them to death because they're overthinking and tripping over themselves while i just stab them to death. ive yet to run into a "good" player like people say are out there, and the people who usually kill me are those who just attack me back
>If someone is good enough with his parry timing you're fucked?
What is stopping you from getting good with your parry timing? stab > overhnad morph is good enough to wreck most pubs.
omg u guys are so bad
I didnt play mordhau yet, but from what i have seen, it has the basic principles of any fighting game with hitboxes:
You dont want to hit the enemy's current hitbox, instead you want to anticipate where enemy's hitbox will be 1 second later when your attack animation hurtbox will finish / reach its peak.
Tldr try to predict what will happen few seconds ahead of time and swing your weapon in advance. If in this game you can move while swinging, you very likely want to move forward only when you swing and immidiaetly after swing go backwards to minimize chances of retaliation. Like a dance.
Yep. Play the dance and you can rape with any weapon you want.
>3rd person waraxe max speed cancer
literally the ballerina of mordhau
3/3/3 armor start with short sword + bloodthirst
chambering is a red herring, drags and accels are more important
although the chamber timings are important to learn
Somehow the screenshots for this game look better than the game itself when you go play it, what the fuck?
>regurgitating memes like a mindless nigger
brainwashed mindslave to the kikes, begone. back to twitch, nu-Yea Forums nigger! away, away!
i am defeat
>taking tenacious instead of bandages
l m f a o get a load of this scrub. you look like a faggot btw
never even unlocked them, whats the advantage? Arent they limited? I healed up like 10 times before dying.
Swords are practically impossible except for rape-ire
Parring sucks. Best you can do is parry, follow with a hip twist and hope it connects
Theres no flawless hit confirm in this game nor true combos
You get two, but they're faster than tenacious and you can refile them at the supply stations. Good for if you finish a fight and are on lowish health, you can just heal up and go.
where in the fuck you get that much money from you fucking kike
Ya thats what I figured, but i like tenacious cause you just wait 10 seconds and bam ur back in the thick of it. That plus bloodlust heals, and running around in 3/3/3 after stealing a zwei off a corpse. Fuck wasting time running back, it's rapetown at the front lines.
never bought anything. 95% of items are still locked.
Dont block, attack in the same direction they attack you from and it will both block their attack and attack them at the same time
Get rid of tenacious or drop down to 3/3/2 and get the Arming Sword instead.
>the people who usually kill me are those who just attack me back
This is the only consistent strategy to beat rapiers/short spear fags, even with shields. Don't try to feint/morph/chamber, just parry one of their attacks and use the hyper armor to swing on them. 99% of the time someone using the cheap weapons doesn't know how to stop a drag or counter aggression so it's usually lights out after they're on the defensive.
That being said, there's legit no counter to someone good at the game using a rapier. I was dueling with my old Chiv mates in a private server and the guy with the rapier kicked the absolute shit out of everyone but the maulfag.
>just trying to play my lute and have a good time
>some tryhard retard kills me
Reminder that only subhuman pigfucks kill friendlies. If you attack a friendly you're killing the community.
nah tenacious mah boy. I got builds with and without it, i prefer it.
sorry, I needed that 25 health
>Just being a detriment to the team by contributing literally nothing
>Wasting a player slot
>WOOOOOOOOOOW WHY AREN'T PEOPLE SUCKING MY DICK FOR LETTING A BOT PLAY SHITTY MIDI TUNES FOR ME?????????
Just play and learn the range of enemies swinging their weapons including who step in. When you learn not to bother with parry and overhead swing in the proper direction you are getting somewhere. Interrupt fights and get the final kill with overheads to the side or wide normal swings from the back. Don't be afraid to get into 3 on 1 situations, but if an enemy parries during your head chopping immediately parry him then the guy next to him, giving enough initiative to step back while thrust for spacing. Always use enemies to block their own attacks.
For a simpler way to improve for now, just practice spear thrust, feint then right overhead.
Never try to swing or thrust when the enemy has iniative, just be patient and parry, or step into their side with an accelerated or rising swing if you feel they have been waiting to parry you again. If they parry that, learn how to feint while looking into your swings to juke them.
Play Chivalry instead
>Always use enemies to block their own attacks.
>Zwei chops through 2 of his teammates to decapitate you
if you're good at spacing a build that's been insanely successful for me has been the spear with the backdash perk. backdash the opponents attack and you just whiff punish with your stab.
Friendlies killed TF2, fag.
The fuck ? no strategy ?...
You can parry, morph, feint, camber, duck, lean back, move your whole fucking body, combo attacks after a wiff.. no strategy ?.. maybe if you're an ACTUAL shitter.
If you're having OP's "problem" stop trying to attack right after a parry, and instead, wait a half second and either morph an attack or feint. This will confuse about 95% of people and you will hit them.
holy FUCK kill yourself what a bunch of AIDS
Higher level gameplay is mostly about having your opponent fuck up, so being unpredictable is good, footwork is also very important. On frontline you should use your ripostes to attack unsuspecting enemies, switching targets constantly.
>memeAxe
fuck off shitter
I fucking love it when I'm 3v1'd and I keep riposting into different people, running between them while they worry about hitting eachother, getting that nice clean horizontal that hits all of them and kills 2 so the last guy is hurt and backpedaling from you.
Also I love to stand over the corpses of my enemies and scream while their friends approach to try and kill me.
I feel like I need a 200 fov
101 feels too low
If you are playing a Lute, you had best have a bunch of Engineer buildings and/or medkits around you at your feet that you put there, securing the area around an ammo box.
If you're playing some dumb midi from a NES game in the corner of the map, I'm going to tell the enemy team where you are for free kills, making you at least remotely useful as bait.
