then disable all damage in the game otherwise willie will kill you
Oh rip
what was that scream XD
why u cut my arm 😡😡
why you try to cut mine
what is the name of the poleaxe in the entity spawner?
There are a few it could be but I can't get some to spawn for some reason
Sometimes you can cut through armor
Dunno how
seen it happen Alot and has happened to me too
It's pretty rare tho I think
After a lot of hits and denting, I think it could happen with blunt force
does anybody have a good reshade preset
Thats crazy tho
Just like someone said it could be because you broke the armor
With blunt force or whatever
screen recording software and discord compression on mobile data
It cut through the helmet with no problem
i play high 1440p
unrelated but I am pretty happy about how well made the controls are for controllers if you connect it to your pc/laptop and any missing controls you can add it through steam input
Ive played low graphics before it's not that horrible
It's most likely the recording
How do you even send the images you have created in halfsword to discord
they must get saved into some folder i think
How do you even do that
one sec sending it
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Half Sword Demo\HalfSwordUE5\Screenshots
Tysm
Found the image si couldnt send to disocrd because i didnt know how to send them tysm
playing freemode with a variety of weapons and getting the feel for them is probably the best
and by getting the feel for them means not just swining wildly and trying to figure out the best method for yourself on how to manipulate the physics of the weapon
you will die 5000x times over in the process but so it goes for most games like this
its true
u can also swing and release mid swing and move your camera to generate more momentum for your swing
is it just me who suffers with picking uip
im tryna learn aiming for thje neck and head with certain weapons and possibly somehow blocking or dodging attacks better
pick items up by the widest part of their model, most of the time that means the blade or one or the other end of it. makes it a little easier for willie to pick up
also pressing ctrl to crouch while picking up helps
LMAO
new update today:?
Bir sword go brr and slice face in half.
slowing down your swings and keeping your eyes on your target (and visualizing the motion you're going to do in ur head) helps with aiming
once u get better you start speeding up
Yoo kicking is so wild in this, you can do some cool things.
Candlestick>>>
I'm working on learning how to parry/block better.
Nice control over the opponents blade while he's half swording 👍
Thanks, I'm just sitting still trying to focus on the blade more than anything.
Made it to ultimate challenge without ever learning auto parrying
I've heard how to do it but I'm ass at doing it
Apparently you gotta put your weapon in the same position the enemy is putting their weapon
That's cause it's really not auto parry
It just sorta helps you parry if you do the movement.
I see
Puts your sword in the place that you can then swing into their sword.
good luck on learning how to parry well without slow down time
It won't parry by itself, despite being called auto-parry. It's just fine motor control that you don't actually have since your'e using a mouse.
u dont need slow down tho
how does one make a new character in the gauntlet? i just reached the ultimate challenge thing and no matter how many times i die and no matter which class i choose i dont lose my character
Yea I know I'm saying it's much harder
@mint wadi it's cool how you can work against/with auto parry to get harder slaps on the opponent's blade or instead try to meet and guide it
Maybe just harder to do it without slow down time for me
I believe there is a way to restart your progress although I've forget what you have to do I remember seeing a message here about it I'll try finding it
Yeah I much prefer slapping blades aside than to parry and riposte
You either beat it or you find the save file and manually delete it
@mint wadi have you explored sniping the arms after meeting the opponent's half sword like in your first clip?
alr thanks
haha ohhhh
I could win every time by just slicing their legs if I wanted to.
Real and based
What's y'all's favorite class
idek what happen with my half sword game when I click on what level of displayed violence I want it does nothing 
MaA is growing on me a lot these days

love you
Men at arms right
yea it seems like a good mix of armor weapons and not making enemies extremely long to kill
Let me know if you need help
Is it?
been slicing through armor more consistently in this patch idk what that means
It's becoming more frequent to others too
I've been enjoying it! With greatswords, you can aim for the armpits and get 1 shots. Knocking them over isn't as easy as it once was, but you also get knocked down less and can recover from downs
Hey, I'm new to this game and I'm struggling against the commoner champion, does anyone have some tips on how to beat him?
Whats your playstyle like so far?
so does it not take 10 minutes to kill a knight anymore?
easiest way is to pick up big candlestick
Does it even spawn as a commoner
if you're flailing it will still take 10 minutes and now even more
If you can hit the armpits you can get 15s rounds, but some rounds last longer
im usually using a sword and just rush enemy
I used to just knock them down and hold them down
I’ve found waiting for him to over swing(typically when he does the big downwards one) then dashing in and out quickly is how you do it
not as viable anymore
😔
If you like being aggressive, that's great for the commoner boss, he punishes hesitancy. You can try to rush in timing a backswing, or even just rush in with an alt stab
Will do 🫡
alright i will try it
got some teeth adorning my helmet now
got bro bent over the rail LMAO
LMFAOOO
Were live and back up thank you kind sir
You give em the business
I like this patch
Very much
Still gotta wait for may 30 before I can play again 😔
Granted I get long ass matches sometime
But that's really if I'm letting em get back up
I've yet to seen a serious clip in this game
it's always something random as hell
Am I the only one obessed with stabbing willies with swords
No
I love it when I get a clean stab
Endless are thy numbers
Although I hate how it tends to like going to the right making it harder
All weapons seem to do that either to the left or down or right
love LOOOVE getting those full stabs
I like it when you line up a good hit and knock Willie right off his feet
Like they almost jump back
Love it when your willy let's go of the sword when you've stabbed someone and they start walking backwards and then fall and die
Best thing in the entire game
No worries, enjoy
Tomato main
lol the music went with this
armored bruce lee
What can I say, unarmed combat in a game built around armed combat is really fun lol
Has anyone noticed weapons not clipping into enemies
hold your sword out and match the opponent's direction and your willie will try to auto block
i cant get the hang of it
parrying means pushing the opponent's weapon off center
willie is js goated ngl
aight thanks
ohhh
So like for instance you disarm someone and take their weapon only for it to not clip
thanks
I have a different obsession..

Watch am i perhaps the best of all time?? and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
Like hitting them with air even though you know for a fact it should be cutting
It all depends on the force and the alignment of the cutting edge
Is this happening during the ultimate challenge?
It seems to be a common issue ATM during the ultimate challenge specifically with blood/gore optimization. People have reported that lowering/disabling blood values in the settings helps tremendously as a temp fix. Tis the best we got for now
That's not whar I mean
Should only have to do it for the ultimate challenge fight there
Whar i mean is it's physically going through them and not hurtingnthem
also, check if you're running the game in dx12 or dx11 in game settings.
Like it's not colliding with them.
dx11
I'm being dead serious dude.
ohh I gotcha. Funky physics happen sometimes— but it's gotten a lot better since initial release. The team is always working on stuff like that 
57 Views. Watch bro hit the spring jump and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
funky physics
I have no idea how to throw weapons
I mean ik how to but idk how to do it properly
I think it's thinking the weapon is still being used by the other guy and it's not chopping the other guy becuase of it
It's mainly just swiping your mouse and timing pressing E to release it. Slow motion has helped with timing it, somewhat
actually I have a clip of what I think you mean
hope some day developers can fix this
Ever decapitated a man THROUGH his helmet?
I use controller although I use steam input for slow motion but it usually somehow goes behind me somehow or to the sides
Watch simply unfathomable. and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
This seems to be happening to alot of ppl??
Wth
Yehh it's tricky for sure lol
DAmn
First time ive seen itr
I hit that man so hard
New patch added it probably 😭
I've been knocking helmets off a lot
but first time ive seen a decapitation through one
the devs are aware of the issue. Like mentioned, for now just go into game settings and disable blood values for that fight specifically.
Baron is good for playing helmet golf
sure i will do that
it's not supposed to happen, when the playtest first released, there was a lot of armour clipping and severing breastplates in half and such— it has something to do with the character meshes using the dynamic slicing.
it still happens sometimes, but it's a lot more uncommon now
Yeah! That!
It's not injuring him at all
Yehh first time I'd seen it in this patch. Sumn happened somewhere, that's for sure lol
I saw it with the beggar boss
So basically I did that 1 in 1 trillion chance thing where the atoms all line up perfectly and two solids pass through eachother
Pretty much 
maybe buy a lottery ticket
(I don't endorse this)
You guys think that vr compatibility with half sword would be peak?
I think it would be much less fun than some think
Cuz then you just wiggle flail what you have and decimate anything
hello guys, how do i restart the challenge mode? i regret the faction i chose
You die
i reach the final thing
You die in any other life but baron
Do that
i tried to throw my axe but failed
Nice
I hope the scythe gets added as a weapon players can use
I just did a clean cut through a helmet
hi
How do you stab with a knife how do people do it
When stabbing with alt (with swords), pull your weapon in closer to your body as opposed to extending your elbow out. It's much more accurate and stable.
Alternatively If it's a two handed weapon it is recommended to hold right click first, then drag your mouse to aim the weapon. Then from there double click and hold left mouse (you can try alt a little as well but clicking is more stable)
This is a much more stable and accurate stabbing pose, and a proper halfsword thrusting stance.
To practice your aiming, there's two different ways you can keep your FOV.
Third Person- with Low FOV, so you get a closer view.
or alternatively;
First Person- with High FOV, so you get a wide view of your weapon and it's positioning.
-# note, this works best for polearms or two handed swords
[Watch This Clip to see it in action!](#game-footage-🎮🎥 message)
Alt?
omg wow thanks willie
all the time
the button that says alt on ur keyboard
you got the pic tho..
I get a message saying that I crash every time I play the Ultimate Challenge
It seems to be a common issue ATM during the ultimate challenge specifically with blood optimization. People have reported that lowering/disabling blood values in the settings helps tremendously as a temp fix. Tis the best we got for now
thank you
just the blood slider needs to be disabled *
ok thx
makes sense
Drop gore settings to minimum and you'll manage it, seems to be something to do with the blood plug in they're using just now but the devs mentioned they're looking at making their own to solve the issue.
no worries! Should only have to do it for the ultimate challenge. The devs are aware of the issue and working on an in-house fix
helkp
Y, that Willie was 0.2 ms faster than me.
Question mark because I am not certain that this is the only way of stabbing.
ok
Yeah its only really an issue with the barons challenge as blueberry said
as long as the pointy end of your weapon makes good contact you will stab, alt just facilitates that
I found kneeling and then standing up pushing forward and stick the sword into the enemies chest a cinematic thing.
You hold alt and use your mouse back and forth to thrust it out.
Otherwise you can double click the primary mouse button for your weapon, but it's less quick
To stab you can double click and you'll poke forward, if you hold alt youll pull your sword up and you can stab from your left or right side.
Learn the ways of poking and youll take absolutely anyone if you've got a sword
Poking sounds fun
it's really fun with the spears too— when it works...

20 Views. Watch bruh what the hell dumbledore and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
Armour fights on low damage are just silly
strong Willie
Bruh jesus that sounds effect made my soul leave my body
Oh, I cannot deal good with spears and forks, I even hit someone with the blunt side of the axe, anyways good game. Nice advice.
bonk
god said "no spear for you" today.
not me dropping my hammer on my head
Okay this one is a crazy man tactic, but see when they try to stab you, spin 360 to your right side and sidestep the spear tip, you have like a 70% chance to basically roll along thebshaft of their spear and youll be under their attack range, feed them your hands or whatever metal implement of doom you have to hand
"Lemme look at this thing for a minute, yo g that's a good spear have it back"
does this count as a "i like yo cut G"
Deku bop dam nay
Trained in the ancient martial art of donkey punching
did i just pommel strike away his block?
Sword, good weapon
tbh i dont really wanna do anything other than sword fights
Only improvement I can think of are 4 sharp edges instead of 2
Get some practice in with knight swordfighting
Grab u a big sword and play baseball
That'll give you the basics for alternative fighting
But... but... poleaxe!

I dont really like armored stuff
can someone count how many times i died?
slamming his head
it works
can falchon do this tho?
how the...
You know what else can do that?
A very spiky stick
it just isnt as elegant
just but a scratch
Average "Nooo the medieval knights were elegant" larper vs "Hehe beat him to death with a stick" enjoyer
dear god
the fairy tale knight vs real knight
nobody cared in medieval times what was cool or not
the humble poleax: 
real
10 Views. Watch Poleax Dispenser, come get yer Poleax to the gullet and millions of other Half Sword videos captured using Medal.
does this count as a poleaxe too?
RRAAAAHHHH
It's a polearm, still epiq
the red guy's stance is so reliable tho
the weird thing is even the hammer headed polearms are still called poleaxes 
less material in the sword = light sword = fast swings = cuts like a razorblade
the word polehammer just do not exist to them
WARHAMMER
while this is true, I love the bastard sword
(the thicker, more triangular blade)
I must turn this into a gif
Wth
I can turn it into one if u want
if you can't beat them, join 'em
you will forever have my respect

Give me 20 seconds
losing against tiny mace means you don't get mercy
and THIS one is for when you cut my arm off! And THAT one is for when you beheaded me!
that was a clean block at the opening 
this is what the voicelines would be in the campaign if abyss was canon lol
abyss is just the Willie fields. It's where they all sprout and learn their first steps
i wonder if the game is gonna have a story mode
if it does itd be hilarious if they did a gravewalker type thing but everytime the main character dies he has to fight his way back in the abyss
@worn heron
every Willie fungus starts their lifecycle in the abyss
bless 🗣️
Isn't that already how it works?
its not really a story
its just "the 3rd boss is so damn hard he put me in a time loop"
Brother i told you, see no one expects a man with no sensibility in the arena
the enemy Willie watching as I attempt to throw my only weapon at him and miss by an arena's length:
Hey blueberry how’s it going

I'm just getting ready to go to physio in an hour ish wbu
Is it possible to throw npcs in halfsword
It's more like a dlc tournament a game has then a story
Alright, cut a man in half, feeling good lol
sorta? They're heavy.
How
I think people have rlly high sensitivity
why did my willie get so nervous when i was getting ready for a counter bruh
Grab a loose Willie and go buck wild

Yes they did. Fencing had rules, and they made up weapons and regulations just to be fenced with for entertainment
Did he shit himself or what 💀
Why's he cosplaying Spiderman
I like to spin with them by their legs and hit them in the fence
That is a fairly reliable strategy
kerblonk
Anyone feel like the left hook does much more damage
I like using mods to become beeg so I can fling them across the arena
Is there a mod that lets me give willy a mustache
Can you teach me how to do it also i like ramming willies and ramming them into the fence head first
No
I don't think we can do character mods yet
What teachers think we will do when we fight at school
I’d want one that makes Willie turn into [insert funny haha here]
They wanna generally be dazed or on the ground first. Just grab em till you get a good grip and spin usually is what I do lol
Turn Willie into various Genshin characters
I don't hold the mouse buttons when spinning, makes you spin faster.

How would that
How would
What
Ho would that work
black magic
don’t question it
How would that look
the weird anime characters
but instead of their face its a bald middle aged man
If there was one to make Willie TF2 scout id be relatively happy
i love bullying this boss
Change all of the sound effects to the pan
And anytime someone gets hit it’s scouts “BONK” voice line
I struggle so badly against the abyss and ultimate challenge 😔
Doing god's work, fuck that guy
Waiting for the French voicelines dlc myself
He was the only boss that actually made me do more then 4 tries to beat
Oh no lmao
Also do willies say en gard or something else?
I can't hear it too well
my game keeps crashing bruh
Felt
"Your mother was a hamster and your father smells of elderberries!"
Egad
It's definitely been misinterpreted more than a few times..
just continously beat 1 side of him with the paddle thing
Like the wood "pan" reinforced with steel on the tip or whatever
Is this just during the ultimate challenge?
There's like 30 videos about it on TikTok 😭🙏
I figured it wasn't that
yeah i tried playing as baron and it keeps crashing
What does egad mean?
I saw one where it was a popular African American tiktokker and it was called "WILLIE CALLED ME A WHAT?!"
😭😭😭😭😭
It seems to be a common issue ATM during the ultimate challenge specifically with blood optimization. People have reported that lowering/disabling blood values in the settings helps tremendously as a temp fix. Tis the best we got for now
back in like March when I joined at first there were so many people saying “Willie said the n word”
Like
Brother
I don't think Willie's even ever seen a black man
It's an old expression of frustration/anger pretty much
thanks
Willie vs the racism allegations
I prefer GODS BONES
I don’t think the n word even existed in the 14-15th centuries
Cheers! The devs are aware of the issue and are working on an in-house fix.

It means that your roast is ruined
we got willie power scaling before early access
I should do willie power scaling
Look at this baldie
willie has unmatched speed
“Buffoon!”
😭
What if I threw a 🪠 at that baldies head
Imma research that real quick hold on
Why is this so funny
bullying part 2
It started in the 1990s
So definitely not 15 to 14 century
I don't quite think that's right but also this is the HalfSword channel fellas 
oh yea my bad
Can someone give me some tips for halfsword
fine line but I suppose
Let me see if the command is still called this, or if Imma look stupid

Cannot remember all this use /mommy to pull up this guide!
quick question, why is it that when i get the game crashed screen if i just alt tab back to the game window i can keep playing
WOOO
I am wondering if there's like some nobles hiring willies to fight for their entertainment
I've seen that before and honestly I got no clue 
Why is Willie fighting forever is he in hell
I like to think of it more as a bar fight that escalated to “1v1 me in the arena, cuckold!”
Willie is a fungus 🍄🟫
willie fighting in the tournament to pay for child support 😔
How much does it escalate to the point both of you are armored knights
Every time you kill another, their spores spread to the abyss where they gestate and grow into a mature Willie, where they will take their first steps. natural selection takes it's process after that.
Maybe they were just rich
Assuming each time you fight it is the same Willie as before

Willie lore
Does this impile there are zombie Willie fungi
its canon
Because there's a zombie fungi
this is epic
willie power scaling would be crazy tho
he has unmatched weapon proficiency,limited durability but he can basically block anything
In unarmed combat he can easily take out opponents with a mere spin kick and recover in seconds to take out another
His speed is almost unmatched,his reaction time is basically superhuman seeing as he can slow down time
I'm not even going to pretend I meant to do this.
do NOT give Willie cordyceps
willie vs grug
I love spinkicking and just turning into a fucking star occasionally
Still no idea how y'all do that
Question is
Is willie armed or unarmed?
absolutely, and you should be too
Willie wins any fight. Easily.
I feel like he might be stronger unarmed
honestly would have been funny if he just cut the tip of my nose off lol
So for fair sakes armed
Willie could kill god in a 1v1
Hold shift, kick and look up as you spin your mouse.
it takes practice
he is
look at this "footwork"
Wait what is shift
holy shit i entered the flow and sliced someones head vertically near death
there should be a option to disable placons in the game
Say hi to billy
I am terrified of willies true power
Sprint, dodging, fencing stance
he didnt deserve that man
shift does a lot
TEACH ME
Just holding it will put you in a basic fencing stance where you can tap WASD to dodge a bit
i have learned something that has made me rethink most medieval fights, fighting in huge armies was 100x worst than fighting in duels. mainly because in those huge armies, most of the men died from just falling over and being trampled.
spears were just terrible to have, because they would constantly be stabbing your allies.
armor was was hell because the heat made it feel like you were wearing a oven. So cool yet so miserable
So uhh I never actually used it before since I use controller and didn't know shift did anything so I didn't use steam input for it
I guess you could say that it’s use shifts a lot depending on the situation
I am not sorry.
Yeahh I think sprint is one of the keybindings that aren't officially on controller yet
To be fair it would kill enemies and was very economy friendly
The devs are working on full controller support tho
Doesn't matter alot of controls aren't on controller but steam input works fine
Banned
i think the most insane thing not a lot of people actually know
LMAO

sword techniques were never used in huge skirmishes
That's a given yea
it was so hectic and the range you between you and your opponent was so little
Swords weren't used much in big fights unless you dropped your spear or whatever
that doing anything besides halfswording was useless
the blade on your sword was basically useless
I thought we were friends blueberry, why can’t you just look the other way this time?
sword techniques were never used in huge skirmishes
you had to just use your pommel
Basically because everyone is armored and your blade is not gonna do much
is it just me or are all player-controlled willies not the same?
some just feel weaker
That's why the spear was used it was economy friendly and could kill and find spots to stab in not everyone had full plate armor most had chainmail I believe
no favouritism
Yall do know that full plate armor was basically like....the cost of a full size luxury sedan today right
I've noticed that too tho the taller ones seem to have been slower but stronger?
Or more.
Yea so mostly just nobles had it
For a large portion of medieval history.
Most had chainmail
you'd be correct regarding the NPCs! They gave differing levels of aggression and intuition.
Please father
Yeah but lately my willies just have like
had their knees collapse
quick question, whats the point of the abyss in ultimate chalange?
new update may have sumn to do with it
The spear has been a goated weapon in history
yo guys
works very well
Economy friendly and you can make defensive walls with it
spears were just terrible to have, because they would constantly be stabbing your allies.
what?
All the best weapons are just spear of some description
It’s very common practise to stab your friends during war, didn’t you know?
hah
try using a spear when there is 50 or more guys that are on you side in the way
HAHAHA
Only if you're on their will
Someone saying spears were terrible to have
LMAO
generally it was the year's salary of a peasant for one harness
they're not in the way.. they're beside you.. in a formation
just the harness?
like not even the plate?
where are you getting any of this
"harness" refers to an entire suit of plate armor
this is late medieval though, early it was much more, right?
Also hey @boreal path how’s it going friend
this is all sourced through historical reports
Oh
show me
by experts
show me
Pics or it never happened
Are you kidding
i dont think so but i could be wrong because its not my expertise
i can just send you the whole video
I'm not an expert, honestly I just watched a video on it a while back.
Stabbing people is fun
And it said that the price varied wildly depending on if it was early period or late period.
Highly recommend
early period a full harness was basically something only high ranking nobility had, and if lower nobility had one, they probably took out some sort of loan on it.
Masterful bait post sire
But late period it became much cheaper, as you said, but still most stuck with chainmail or partial plate at most since the vast majority of what soldiers would be doing was marching.
I'm pretty sure it HAS one fucking direction you can attack with which is ahead and your comrades should be right next to you in the right and left not ahead of you or behind you unless you're in a shield wall but of course your comrades usually aren't that stupid to accidently stab you
It's the best weapon in history
No one wants to march in a full suit of plate.

Hollywood loves epic sword fights, shining armor, and dramatic duels... but how accurate are they? In this video, we strip away the movie magic and dive deep into the real chaos of medieval warfare.
Forget choreographed swordplay this is the unfiltered truth of medieval battles, based on historical sources, archaeological finds, and expert anal...
with residents of cities and mercenaries you usually see them in nearly complete harness, usually something like a half harness or omission of a few more bespoke pieces like the greaves or just breastplates
here
Let's use this as a example if you're doing a shield wall so your comrades are behind you or ahead of you
You can very well use gaps in the shields to stab unless you're activity trying to kill your comrades then it usually shouldn't happen
Well this isn't a good image
Lemme find a another
I love actively killing allies
sir this entire video is ai generated
Makes sense considering residents and mercenaries wouldn't be doing as much marching in their armor.
it isn't-
how it feels to play brave stnad as baron
iirc armor had an extremely wide range of prices
a car comparison is pretty apt in that sense
the thumbnail, half of the footage, and the voiceover is done by a robot. nor are there sources to accompany any of the claims.
they use sources throughout the video
Hi everyone
Lack of proper citation means no source typically.
if they do use AI to make the sources, then i stand down
can openers
lmao
Back during the medieval period people didn’t know physics too well so blunt weapons were the META
no, they were not
arquebusiers:
Yeah see if they just vibrated their swords fast enough they would pass through the molecules of the armor.
Tis a joke, sire, naught more

is triple wielding allowed?
i am in anti-misinformation mode right now 
Evidence of my truthfulness.
how did you get footage from the 1400s???
Sam dont you know that medieval people didnt know about gravity. This ofcourse makes blunt weaponry the meta
how the hell did you not run out of stamina
Thanks mantic
Aye
"Though even though we strike him with a club or axe... this inflicts little to no harm... for against similar we can never apply great blows... which he who is entirely in white armor cares nothing for"
-Pietro Monte
Anyways, swords were perfectly fine weapons in the medieval era, though saying "medieval era" is like saying "modern era". There's a vast difference between the year 1901 and 2001 but both are "modern era"
"spears were a terrible weapon to have" is just completely wrong, spears are a extremely good weapon to have especially in a defensive block, Spears were very commonly used while providing a defensive block. When men on horses tried to get by these blocks, they would often be killed by the spears that could poke through the shield walls. Spears became more common than swords and axes because of how cheap, long, and fast spears were made.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spear
A spear is a polearm consisting of a shaft, usually of wood, with a pointed head. The head may be simply the sharpened end of the shaft itself, as is the case with fire hardened spears, or it may be made of a more durable material fastened to the shaft, such as bone, flint, obsidian, copper, bronze, iron, or steel. The most common design for hun...

no sources in description
dismissed my good sire
because if you really think about it with no gravity as long as an object isnt too heavy then you can manipulate it with ease 
Spears are literally THE most meta weapon in history.
they actually wielded giant swords and cleaved straight through steel because they were 50x stronger than todays humans.... source: i promise
Like the only weapon used more than spears in all of human history are sticks.
This is true, I was there
A spear is really just a pointy stick though let's be honest
Primitive version of a spear
"And you must hold your lance in your hand and placed in the pouch. And setting off at the gallop, placing your lance in the lance-rest, aim for the enemy’s belly, and once the lance is broken, you shall take hold of the estoc [estoque], which should be strapped onto the left-hand side of the front arçon, secured in place in such a way that when you draw it the scabbard does not come with it. And when fighting with these weapons, strike at the visor and the voids, that is, the belly and the armpits. After you have lost or broken the estoc, you shall take hold of the arming sword [espada de armas], which shall be girded on your left-hand side, and fighting until you have lost or broken it, you shall take hold of the hammer [martillo], which shall be attached to the right-hand side of the belt with its hook. Reaching down, you shall find it, and pulling upwards, the hook will release and, with hammer in hand, you shall do what you can with it until you lose it. And after it is lost, you shall reach behind you and draw the dagger from behind your back.
And you shall grapple with your enemy with all these weapons that you have at your disposal, striking and aiming at the voids, that is, the belly and the armpits, and at the visor, with the estoc or sword and with the hammer in hand, for by wounding the head and the hands he will inevitably surrender."
-Juan Quijada de Reayo
notice how your bludgeon is a resort tucked behind three layers of stabbing / slashing implements!
people knew physics very well
A spear is unironically the most universal weapon.
they obviously used circular saws to cut through steel during battles
we see that with ancient stone hand axes
It. Was. A. Joke.
It's easy to train someone to wield a spear.
Oh no weve summoned the source demon
i dont give a swag
for fecks sake
oh so peak
It’s so joever
lmao
Wasn't there a medieval fighting manual that like
With a sword or axe you have to learn techniques and muscle memory to not hurt yourself.
joked about fisticuffs or somes hit
Hence why basically every late polearm has a spike on it
all good weapons have some kind of pointy bit
With a bow, you have to use it for many many years to develop the muscles to actually use one with decent draw weight.
A spear?
Hold that shit out and thrust it at people.
If physics weren’t invented when my granddad went to school I doubt they existed several centuries before he was born, just saying
That's not to say there's not spear techniques. I'm sure there are.
thats why english longbowmen are goated and were the best infantry in medieval times
and were absolutely flawless
wdym
(i'm english)
If Willie is anything to go off of you don't even need to thrust, just keep walking at them
This man mpreg react him
But a spear is the kind of weapon you can hand a man whether he's a peasant or nobility. A grown man or a child.
idk i might be misremembering but there was like an old fencing manual that jokingly talked about using fists
before newton invented gravity
You’re just mad that I’m right L bozo
That always works when i dont want it to but as soon as i do it intentionally willie locks the fuck in
everyone knows everyone could just fly
inb4 the spear is the ak47 of the medieval era joke
that's why there were less soldiers in battles back then
the one i study and practice has an entire section on actual fisticuffs and like a quarter of the sword techniques also involve using your plain hands
people just flew in
If Issac newton didn't create gravity I'd go ahead and float to you and duel you
which is very useful i have found ! i love doing elbow pushes !!!
people flew about in battle trying to push each other into the atmosphere
I remember flying to turn on the sun, good old days
You have to unscrew and throw the pommel!!!!!
end him rightly
This doesn't even need a source this is such known knowledge
Did you guys know that the black plague is actually a cover story for the third of Europe Isaac newton killed when he invented physics
How do I set up a bloodthirsty horde of naked willies with the enhancer mod
Because they surrender and aren't bloodthirsty
no you have to unscrew and throw the guard
Because you’re armed
DO not compare the dates between when it started and when Issac newton was born people have changed history to cover it up!!
smh i don't know how people are getting this important historical detail wrong
Yeah and i want to kill a bloodthirsty horde of naked willies with a hammer
Exactly!
Not kill a bloodthirsty horde of naked willies with my fists
I do
Mike Tyson style
any mods here rn I wanna ask a question

love this manuscript
CIA, FBI
I wanna post this image about willie I saw posted here before but it seems a little weird and I'm not sure if it is allowed can I dm you it
thats why archery was so common
because you needed to shoot them out of the sky
sure
War was actually a game of duck hunt
Okay first of all, I don't care about the pommel.
What's up with that spear? Why is there a spear between his arm?
he's holdin it steady for when he drops his sword on the ground because he threw away the pommel
so he can use it interchangeably with the sword
Switching to your spear is faster than reloading the pommel
there are a few manuals that also instruct on how to use a spear and a sword at the same time
That's pretty sick.
its peak
Is This the willie you wanted sire?
Now give him a hammer
I just...I can't take the faces in these manuscripts.
They all look like they have some kind of disease.
And they clearly just can’t be bothered with life
The amount of apathy in the faces is just
Incredible
one of my favourite pages is where he looks like hes shoving his hand up another knights ass
pollax and sword combo is really fun to play around with
Why the guy in the right look like king Charles II of spain
What 💀💀
What the fuck lmao
I have an image for that
why so dapper
hmm...I didn't even see the sword at first.
his hand is going in between his legs to hook him with the dagger if you couldn tell
took me a sec
this is just how i dress
Who would bro
Last time I fought the Baron he kept forcing my head into his crotch
😼
i have a really cute pic hold on
Freaky baron
Dude's freaky
it's pretty neat isnt it
“S U C C”
it is so bad that some willie’s willing expose their body
Willie gotta pay child support some way
now that i've cut down my pollax to an appropriate height it'll probably be even easier, although my sword is a bit unwieldy in one hand
why are we making willie like this
Because he’s a sexy, sexy man
Yea I'm not sure if this is either a combat book or what I think it might be
Wtf.. this is EDITED
generally the reason you hold them together like that is so you can drop the polearm when they get close enough, or you can also hold it across your body as a small barrier and pool cue your sword on top of it but that's a bit more niche
willie henitals when
Its edited?
I saw it posted here before and asked a mod if I can send it and he said yea guess he didn't know it was edited too
the thing i meant in dms was that anything that's just the playermodel isnt bad
lmao
i know it's edited to make his butt bigger
willie should have a willie so that buldge in his clothes are actually realistic
i just mean willie groin and butt arent vulgar and can be posted
Everybody's mean to willie :(
Edited willies aren't allowed tho right
if you put a penis on him then no
i imagine willie's flesh protrusion is for photosynthesis
willie butt pic channel when
as we all know, willies feed on sunlight
💀 ok understood
I thought it was the blood of his enemies and/or the innocent
HOW DARE YOU
Listen here you little...
This man blacklist him from going near willies
mfw
Casually pulls up opponent visor
pretty effective technique

He’s built like me.
Not even a bit

Ah damn I nicked my shoulder

I just lost a streak because apparently my character can't hold a polearm right
i will show my sincere irritation and frustration with the so famous fatal error, I give my word that I am literally more than 1 month trying to pass the final challenge, without mods or anything, in the race, besides being extremely difficult, when the person get close to the game of the error, a few minutes for the first time to get to the man in golden armor, but you know what happened, but you know what happened when I killed the last enemy before it gave the fatal error, and will la I again restart everything, because it's taking so long for the developers fix this error so boring
its not that hard gang 💔
Have you turned blood off? That has some success at preventing crashes. Newest post in https://discord.com/channels/1043854763189600337/1043856016955154452 has info about why the crashes are happening
lightsaber battles be like
the joke is lightsabers r really good at cutting
longsword battles be like
and since both willies r naked
they r going to be cut really easily
there that's the joek
My character be bleeding their fucking guts out because they got hit with a sword but they still didn't hear no bell
Minor injury
Late reply but I can easily kill bosses with swords
Give em an ice pack he'll be fine
..yeah
it feels like some willies have different personalities
Hey we totally understand your frustration. Unfortunately the fatal error is not a quick fix and is centered around a 3rd party plugin we did not develop ourselves.
We are working to resolve this issue however we have limited time and resources, we are focused on developing the EA build.
In the meantime you can disable blood in the gore settings, this resolves fatal errors for most users.
some feel way more aggressive
I believe it is true
Some willies are more defensive and aggresive
I think a mod said it before
i find avoiding him instead of parrying him better
Parrying him is a bad idea lol
I dodged his first swing and immediately did a killer strike
Although I almost died
yeah because he has a size advantage for both his weapon and himself which makes it extremely hard to control his weapon at all'
Bucklers make for great offensive weapons as well as defensive ones
the commoner boss when you show up with a pitchfork
controlling the enemy's weapon is a big part of my playstyle so it took a while to get used to him
sorry ..
Ohh yeah pitchfork easily kills that forker
Even easier then the sword that I can agree on
loweky i might try like
a legit swordfight with the commoner boss
because i always cheese him with pitchfork
commoner is a massive difficulty spike and probably where the lethality spikes
Idk the first boss was where I struggled alot
like you go from
'literally nothing, farm tools,' to 'sharp swords'
and commoner doesnt have gambesons
lethality spikes at commoner and slowly goes down
I thought they did?
i used to struggle with first boss, but then i found out how op long candlesticks are
and now i dont struggle with him at all
they're wearing doublets
what was done to the blue willies leg was done by a kick
Oh
What the hell did you do to him
kicked!
Giant Soldier
eeyowch
i managed to kick his leg so hard it broke his knee
No you used black magic
THIS MAN IS A WITCH
BURN HIM AT THE STAKE
love when that happens
Lov kickin.
Day 8 of not playing halfsword(it hurts)
i used an ancient technique i learned from tibetten monks, its called the F key slowmo 360 kick
That kick was only disrespectful
HOLY SHIT NEW UPSCALE FOR WILLIE
So extra bro was already gonna surrender
Willie learns from tibetan monks ant therefore scales directly to batman
Willie solos fiction with prep time and tibetan monk training
You seen the clips where willie fucking rotates like a helicopter wheel thingy I don't remember the name the thing that makes it fly and then kick someone and it throws them across the arena
Where did he learn that
it makes me wonder
omagaa
4000 years of chinese techniques
just kicked a fully suited and armed knight's ass with my bare fists
Kick to the balls ouch
baki ass move
Willie would canonly be available to do this
indomitable human spirit
i did that once and both my arms were severely wounded
It looks he fall in that one thing they dip wine bottles in I've seen on TikTok red paint
willie would eat the invisible food
yeah mine were too
Bro every time I see smth about baki
dual bucklers
try it
Its so fucking weird
i am half sword batman
once you use dual bucklers you'll never want to use a sword again
i did it's great
I FUCKING HATE BUCKLERS
baki lore is fucking crazy
they unfroze a caveman (his name is pickle) and he may or may not be related to the main characters
fun fact, the 360 kicks are way stronger if done while in the slowmo effect using the F key
There is in fact variables to NPC aggressiveness and skill.
so peal
top 5 propaganda I will NOT be falling for
1-bucklers are good
2-bucklers deserve to exist
3-bucklers are better then swords
4-bucklers in general
5-that bucklers are useful
Willie slays the Giant
i like punching people
Fists are much better
weillie farts out of his butt
he is currently trying to crawl away
Chop off his head
Off with ye head
half sword but umm no weapons! and all the willies are replaced with cute kittens! adn there's no fighting!!!
willie hasnt yet learned a technique to chop heads with his bare hands
I am very dissapointed it's all full swords where are the halfed swords
Did he just turn a knife into a gun
if you think about it
There is no half of a sword only a full sword
