But the opponent AI is always aggressive

#

how the hell am i supposed to "watch and wait"? i can't block any attacks, i block one, they hit with another quick one and it's an instant kill, or bleed out

sleek mica
#

Until passive parry aggressively overrides your stab

naive holly
#

See how i waiting for him to miss? Literally stepped back to dodge and then got him

jolly gorge

and no time to call it quit to save progress

Spears are very awkward to use because of it

It's always the abyss over and over and over, and nnow i lost iit all anyway

Yeah thahts i tried, but like i said, stabbing isnt working

The low sensitivity thing for example

that shit only works if u have a brand gaming mouse with its own app settings to change the cursor speed

@jolly gorge Hi, do you want to go to vc?

#

holy shit the gamemode change in the demo is fucking awful

worthy palm
#

why?

hoary geyser
# worthy palm why?

spend ages unlocking new tiers and then lose it all when you die, and you can die to absolute bs considering how janky the game is

worthy palm
#

You can play free mod if you are afraid to die

is cutting with a sword possible without slashing/swinging?
for example when i miss a stab and my blade is directly at the enemies neck. i try to exert force with my sword but the blade wont cut his neck

worn heron

#

its like, there NEEDS to be a swinging/slashing motion so it cuts

once you beat the gauntlet, youll unlock the Baron in free play too

i think im stupid but

#

why do i get sent to abyss when i die in challenge mod

#

and not simply loose my rank

to get another chance

You lose your rank if you die in abyss

#

what do i do in abyss?

fallow monolith
#

kill stuff

It's like a gulag

Do I need to kill a certain ammount of ppl

kill the guys coming at you and you get out

#

ouuu i see okk

fallow monolith
#

kill the boss from last rank n u get revived

jolly gorge
#

thank u so much

shell bronze
#

yeah it's like your second chance

mint wadi
#

You can do such stupid shit

#

Switching around their guard is just nasty

shell bronze
mint wadi
#

That was sick

#

Also lower your strength mods in halfsword enhanced if you have them on

#

It makes you unstable if it's set too high

shell bronze
#

i don't use strength mod lowkey

mint wadi
#

I didn't really know for sure.

#

It just makes you unstable when you hold your weapon out like that

shell bronze
#

it's the combination of the targe and katana

mint wadi
#

That makes sense.

shell bronze
#

but i do remember it doing that when i was trying to cheese

#

the trainer super strength makes you walk slower and everything wants to throw you off the ground

mint wadi
#

I have 2x strength on right now and unlimited stamina just for doing silly stuff.

shell bronze
#

honestly even if i wanted to do it it would do me more harm than good

mint wadi
#

It was actually still set on it from when I was grappling last time.

shell bronze
#

grappling you definitely need some kind of super strength

#

it's a lot more streamlined that way

mint wadi
#

Yeah you gotta use lower settings that don't do as much if you're fighting with it.

just a fyi the steam store page says 'we do have a Chief Blood Officer. Witness skull-crushing blows, limb decapitations, and gruesome displays of entrails and bloodshed'

Limb Decapitations aren't a thing. the word decapitation is the removal of the head from the body. this should say dismemberment instead

little verge

3/4ths of the way to the top for my damage and 50% for ai willie

I like the body mods you can get with halfsword enhanced when I feel like making it into some sort of an RPG.

if i want to play it more like a hack n slash/arcade video game i lower both of our damages

Like I'll create a character with a certain loadout and decide who he will be.

Do I want a speedster with tonus mods but low armor, a hulk with high strength and a blunt weapon, etc.

#

the funniest thing is whenever dudes try to creep up on you while they half sword

mint wadi
# shell bronze <@964753525752074321>

This works especially well with the longer swords such as the katana where you have the weight of the sword that drives the character to move the bottom half of the sword before the top half as if it's that heavy.

#

Obviously this isn't realistic for the katana since they're rather nimble but since it's a mod they don't get the weight and balancing perfect.

#

Gimme an odachi tho

shell bronze
#

the katana is actually very nimble all things considered

#

my only gripe is that it's a little long and the guard could be a bit bigger

mint wadi
#

I like the gigantic handle on odachis

shell bronze
#

i actually think i wouldn't have too good of a time with an odachi because that falls into greatsword category and idk how to use those outside of baseball bat maneuvers

#

though it would be sick

#

my fighting style is mostly full-bodied strong kill strikes

#

i have a particular fondness for the kesagiri

#

or quick kendo overhead spams

#

Just downloaded ovrdth's weapon loadout mod, any recommendations for loadouts?

I’m so pissed I died on the golden knight on abyss because I stepped on his sword and it impaled me

mint wadi
dusk shuttle
#

I had hit it out of his hand and I had rocked him to where he was stumbling backwards and then I stepped on the hilt and it shot upward into my back

mint wadi
#

That does in fact happen

#

It is unfortunate.

Jesus the blood just flies everywhere

It's like you're flaying his skin

mint wadi
#

Overheads like this feel stupid.

shell bronze
#

quite functional

mint wadi
#

I feel like the ai should know what is coming.

#

Maybe it's because this weapon isn't normally in this class.

shell bronze
#

they kind of do but their guards are not very good

mint wadi
#

They should just....not approach tbh

shell bronze
#

ai adjusts stances against yours but this is usually overtaken by their impulse to attack/rush

mint wadi
proven verge
shell bronze
#

you can see a bit of it in this clip where he clearly guards against my hasso no kamae

#

but then he winds up and i just end him

mint wadi

They definitely respond your stance on some level.

One of my favorite stupid techniques with the poleaxe. Spoiler alert, he gets horizontally bisected

Militus has evolved from the bap bap bap technique.

To this date probably my favorite armored finish as messy as it is, just feels so accurate to history.

This may seem like a dumb question, but are you moving your mouse in any particular pattern? It doesn't look like it's just back and forth and when I try to bonk over and over like this it isn't nearly as quick or good looking lol

Let’s hope 19 is better than 18 was (18 was fine lmao)

what i notice in a lot of people's gameplay (no offense intended to anyone) is that their swordplay is floaty with a lot of wasted movement (that isn't flourish)

how tf do people play this in first person. you can't see shit, don't know where your weapon is in relation to your body.

shell bronze
#

they rely on the blade to just catch onto flesh and do the job for them

I only do first person if I’m boxing

Hello

shell bronze
humble harbor
#

I kinda just grind in the commoner tier

shell bronze
#

is i would go into commoner with a longsword

#

and practice firmer strikes

humble harbor
#

Noted

brittle birch
#

they need to add a button for reverse grip, to finish off opponents on the ground

shell bronze

#

I’m gonna turn my player damage up too because I think I’m so reckless cuz I hardly get damaged

brittle birch
#

right now the only option is to whack at the head

shell bronze
humble harbor
#

If I’m getting hurt it’s because I’m getting sliced in half

#

I have enemy damage all the way down too I like hacking at em for a bit

shell bronze
#

because half sword is extremely easy after a certain point and you just have to make it more difficult

serene tulip

#

hence why i do all of the parrying and strict kenjutsu forms

naive holly
#

i saw someone post a fun idea where you roll a d100 twice and put each damage slider at that %

#

gonna try

humble harbor
#

Interesting

is there any advantage to switching shoulders with longswords

pearl ferry

if you could actually switch the side on the halfswording stance it would be nice

serene tulip

allows you to do certain maneuvers a bit better

#

i personally don't do it unless it's to show off

formal chasm

i always do it because you always have to show off

humble harbor
#

Switching shoulders is more accustomed to polearms/staff weapons since you can swing through a miss if needed using the switch

naive holly

you should switch shoulders with the longsword more often

hand transfers don't do much for me

there's fun to be had with man at arms but honestly any kind of armor past veteran just makes my life incredibly easy

hence why i bring commoner into the tiers above

actually makes me think and avoid damage

practice keeping your arms out of your opponent's weapon's path.
Sounds dumb but literally that's all you have to do.

Strike when you have more clear openings, like when your opponent doesn't have a clear shot at your arms or the flat of their weapon is facingthem

not much

one is more pragmatic than the other and uses an infinitely superior weapon

its the same stances no

Have you tried

One handing a bastard sword

in half sword as long as you can keep evading you can literally just swing at people until it sticks

I realized the other day the easiest way to deal with plancon is parry top. They almost always swing top first, and then it's over for them lol

that polearm is free cheese

Probably the best weapon in the game

it's how you beat gauntlet

#

I can’t beat gauntlet they gave the third boss a ultra great sword

#

For no reason

shell bronze
#

he's easy

#

i can show you how to fight him

vocal apex
#

I have tried with multiple different types of weapons

shell bronze
#

did you try pitchfork

vocal apex
#

That only goes on the second tier you can’t carry it over can you?

shell bronze
#

you can

#

you can stick with a lower tier character into the high tier

#

@vocal apex

#

use pitchfork and beat his ass

vocal apex
#

Oh

shell bronze
#

otherwise follow these videos

vocal apex
#

I think it’s annoying that death = loss of progress

#

Rather than just losing progress on the tier

#

One time I accidentally stepped on a pitchfork that was in a chest while kicking it open

#

Got hardstuck and a Willie beat my ass

yo why did i spawn in naked

You’re weird

shell bronze
#

sorry i grew up playing competitive games

vocal apex
#

I don’t get in the boxing tier why there’s some opponents that crumble in a second and others take a ton of punches

#

Seems to have them be somewhat tougher the bigger they are

vocal apex
shell bronze
#

it's extremely easy and braindead to kill people in this game

#

after you play enough the objective gradually shifts from killing the other guy to playing around with the other guy

or this if there's armor

#

does anyone have tips to beat the knight boss?

shell bronze
#

you have two options to deal with him @eternal hedge

#

(the easiest ones at least)

#

use the plancon/spiky spear and try to bash him in the head

eternal hedge
#

thats avalible for knight?

shell bronze
#

or use the voulge/long ass polearm with a giant razor blade at the end

#

you can use lower tiers to fight higher tiers

#

use the veteran tier

eternal hedge
#

oh hell no i CANNOT use the voulge

shell bronze
#

when i tell you this pos takes care of everything in half sword with ease i mean it

shell bronze
eternal hedge
#

what tier is that?

#

veteran?

shell bronze
#

do exactly what i did in this clip

#

try to practice aiming a bit higher to hit his head

eternal hedge
#

i cant hit headshots i use a sheild and a small hammer i can controll better with those

shell bronze
#

it'll be a bit hard then because he has the insane axe in one hand

eternal hedge
#

ikr

#

op

shell bronze
#

that thing catches flesh you're instantly dying

#

and because he's tall as hell the mace and shield combo won't help you much

#

it'll help you survive hits but you won't be able to do much against him and his shield

#

poleaxe is your only realistic choice if you want to remain in knight tier

eternal hedge
#

last time i use the big hammer i got chopped up

#

arm got cut off

#

insta death

shell bronze
#

gotta dodge his big swings and not rush

#

taking your time is important in half sword

#

just hold shift and go back and forth to bait him into attacking

#

then go for a swing after he misses you

eternal hedge
#

i try and do that but then my hammer flips when i try and go for a hit

#

then die

#

bro i won

#

thanks
