Great point I am just not good at doing it lol. I just try my best to find cover or to make archers miss by making my movements erratic.

what you're talking about it's counterattacks so you have to attack while defending with the same attack as the opponent. and in fact it doesn't get you stamina back, you just don't loose stamina and you gain stamina continuously during the fight

Glad I could help!

Really appreciate it!!

Thank you!

Definitely can be but i love the chaos of big battles. Duel servers are nice to check out and test your skills.

Thanks dude! Name is TheDude68

If they are good enough they usually block/ parry the last second so wouldn’t always count on it

That is a good one! I would probably suggest a jab since it leaves you less out in the open and is quicker.

Yeah I agree but kicks still cause damage even if they don't break a block. I would personally go with a jab because it is quicker.

Kicking while running with 2handed spear footman

It's a maul

​@@theholygamingempire I meant 5:22

​@oli9816 oh that's a Messer. It just has a different skin on it.

@@theholygamingempire thanks

Pros and cons for 1st and 3rd person. Whatever fits your style.

I promise not to hit you if you are nearby ;)

I personally like first person because you can get a better feel of the distance of the weapons. But 3rd person allows for you to watch your sides because of the increased FOV.

@@theholygamingempire great thanks!

Use both, rebind the key. I use alt to quickly switch between both 1st and 3rd.

@@averageGoat_meh_eh_eh_eh thanks dude

I would highly recommend trying the game. Chiv 2 leans more into the silly side of the slasher genre. It has a mix of Monty Python humor with its brutal violence. What makes the game look clunky? It could be just me lol.

@@theholygamingempire I've def given it a go, reached level 18 but I just don't enjoy the mechanics as much as I want to. Every weapon/class feels like I'm wielding a 200lb log. As well you have instances where people doing their best hop/spin/duck/knife throw taking out heavily armored knights, groups of 3-4 guys armed with halberds struggling to finish a single twitchy player, inconsistent block responses, etc. It can be fun at times, but massively frustrating as well. I just don't think it's reached it's potential yet and can easily turn off a lot of players. Not everyone has the time to master such a janky system and will just move on to something more enjoyable.

Fair enough. I would say that weapons feeling heavy would to be to give the weapons a sense of weight in the world and not feel like how weapons are in Skyrim. With Chiv 2, I think it is about learning the mechanics and the quirks of the game. I think there is plenty of room for expansion and improvement. Also I think the game is made for a certain type of audience which is completely fine. Games that try to appeal to all are liked by none. I just want to give the game attention because the devs put effort into it.

@@theholygamingempire You're doing great work and it can certainly be a lot of fun. I don't want it to copy another game either, just some further nuance and accessibility to help grow the community. Thank you for your positive engagement. Cheers!

@cozylife222 Yeah here is to hoping that the developers keep updating and making it more accessible. Thank you for your comment and I appreciate your support. Cheers to you!

You don't have to. I am just offering things that I have learned. Maybe I could breakdown 1st person vs 3rd person?

Stab weapons for first person.. slash and overheads third person. This how I play lol
