[chilly dragon]

Whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

[dapper oyster]

CLEARLY he doesn't see as much fun in brawling as others

[vital perch]

"mom said it's my turn on the xbox"

[young saffron]

I don't think I've ever actually seen you play commoner

[tender quest]

im not used to the light weight weapons

[young saffron]

and I'm not really used to heavy weapons

aside from polearms

[naive granite]

really good screenshot

[young saffron]

it's beautiful isn't it

[naive granite]

it is

[young saffron]

nice parries tho

and a good pommel strike

[tender quest]

he couldnt believe the audacity

[young saffron]

this guy also couldn't

and this guy

[young saffron]

you should turn that into a sticker for this server

if you have to power to

[vital perch]

even on commoner you're used to pommel hits

[vital perch]

alright chill buddy we don't need another clueless

[tender quest]

alright i'll crawl back to my own tier

[vital perch]

just give yourself a greatsword in commoner

[tender quest]

if i could figure out how to get my specific greatsword into another tier without the armour then i would

i've tried

[vital perch]

want me to make one for you?

[tender quest]

https://www.nexusmods.com/halfsword/mods/90

with that greatsword

[vital perch]

alright , i'll see what i can do

[sleek gull]

There is a trick,but it doesn't always work.

Save a loadout with the outfit you want to have the greatsword.

Load in your Armored Greatsword loadout. Start a match

Once loaded in, exit to main menu. Click settings, Enable the outfit that you created earlier, then exit settings.

Sometimes, it will load the outfit, with the previous loadouts weapon(s)

[tender quest]

https://tenor.com/view/godspeed-gif-13578016838661593302

[tender quest]

There save load once sometimes?

i've cracked the code

[tender quest]

oddly satisfying

i am now unburdened by the weight of armour

his head should have come off

[vital perch]

also , in case you ever lose your loadout it's saved :)

[twilit depot]

can i show an image?

[vital perch]

level 2+ needed

[twilit depot]

oh

[vital perch]

pretty sure you can post in #photography📷 and #game-footage-🎮🎥 tho

[vital perch]

turns out you never needed armor after all

[twilit depot]

i killed the gold knight with out armor in game footage

[brave basalt]

How do I get better

[humble iris]

with what specifically

[brave basalt]

Sword combat

[humble iris]

learn parrying as the minimum

[brave basalt]

I’m pretty stuck, don’t know what to practice or improve on

Been no lifing for 600 hours

[humble iris]

what do you already know how to do

[elder phoenix]

i just found out u can choose classes

ive been fist fighting bosses the entire time

[vital perch]

reminds me of the clip i got once

[shell bronze]

boy if you dont put that bigass sword down against those helpless commoners

[brave basalt]

I can parry high attacks consistently, and sometimes get low attacks thru crouch parry though it mostly feels like luck, I can do a standard flourish, Ik about movement boosts when you swing your sword or turn the camera, I don’t really know much about the technicals of striking or what makes my sword move faster other than swinging fast with my mouse

[tender quest]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043854764095582260/1426320933752143923/HalfSwordUE5_2025-10-10_22-29-14_-_Trim.mp4?ex=68eacc62&is=68e97ae2&hm=b360d216a8ae04f40ccc8de17a553362a6186765677b6dd796ceca2af49ad6af& and against helpless knights?

[shell bronze]

see thats more like it

[humble iris]

theres not much to learn from this point on tbf

but imo

[shell bronze]

fight like me

[vital perch]

literally said he never needed armor

[humble iris]

start learning the basic master strikes

[brave basalt]

Clueless seems to consistently get any parry down

[placid coyote]

gave willie an ear piercing

[shell bronze]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1043854764095582260/1414792220334358668/17AD821.MP4?ex=68ea62ae&is=68e9112e&hm=1bc86d7c141cd6289e0df39fd14563535760c79874379945208d978e8e202626&

[brave basalt]

Which is confusing to me since I’ve been trying to improve nonstop but there seems to be a wall

[humble iris]

well for that you'd have to ask him not me

[brave basalt]

It’s hard finding vids that are applicable in halfsword lol

[humble iris]

ive used one to learn the master strikes when i first started

its pretty good for learning them off start

would you want it?

[brave basalt]

Ofc!

[tender quest]

try the LTL rules, no killing allowed and you have to disarm your opponent first (make them drop weapon not literally remove their arms)

[brave basalt]

I can also do some simple transitions

[humble iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aTYYClpgag&t=361s

[brave basalt]

Just 2

[placid coyote]

willie feels stronger

[humble iris]

this goes over all 5 master strikes

pretty useful for starting to learn them

you can integrate them however you want so its a fine addition to your skill set

[brave basalt]

@shell bronze you know these too?

[brave basalt]

Are they something u can learn quickly

They seem pretty simple

[humble iris]

some yes

some are technically "impossible" to do

but there are variants

[humble iris]

because no thumb grip

the hardest one for me to get consistently though is scheilhau

[brave basalt]

Ok after I learn these what then

I did this before but got lost and forgot lol

[humble iris]

fine tune everything you've learned so far i guess

[brave basalt]

Huh alr

[humble iris]

nothing much to work with (on this topic) until we have early access with a revamped physics systems and possibly new grips

[shell bronze]

i dont actually

[brave basalt]

Ok what do YOU know then

[shell bronze]

i learn by poorly integrating my kenjutsu/kendo knowledge and then just adjusting to the game from scratch

[brave basalt]

Lol

[shell bronze]

i dont do longsword irl

[brave basalt]

Well would you be up to showing me some stuff?

[shell bronze]

i play it like a video game and am not bound to real hema techniques but sure

if john halfsword is lawful good then i'm chaotic evil and just play it however as long as the other willie dies

[humble iris]

honestly the best way to play the game is through your own fun playstyle

[brave basalt]

Biggest question which one of u parries more

[shell bronze]

me

[brave basalt]

Ik but I’ve been pretty stagnant

[shell bronze]

always me

i do it just to parry because it looks cool

[brave basalt]

Alr then yeah I’d rather try doing what you do then

[shell bronze]

flashy choreography type parries

[brave basalt]

So true

[shell bronze]

john fights properly and actually aims to kill

[brave basalt]

I would never kill

I wouldn’t hurt a fly

[shell bronze]

i can do the same but i find going for kills in tiers below veteran boring and requires low skill/effort

[brave basalt]

That’s me rn

[shell bronze]

for fights to look cool you first have to start abandoning practicality

[brave basalt]

It’s easy to get kills actually but sometimes it’s not

[shell bronze]

"why are you parrying that attack instead of just hitting him?"
because that would be boring
"why do you keep playing defense"
because it's cool and fun

[brave basalt]

What do you recommend practicing against

[brave basalt]

Brb

Playing helldiver

[humble iris]

peak

[pine cloud]

just killed someone in a buhurt and their halberd flew out of their hands and stabbed the neighbouring willie in the neck lmao

[vital perch]

video or it never happened

[pine cloud]

my game already crashes randomly, i dont record sadly

[vital perch]

crashes are the game's fault

they use a plugin for it amd it can't handle insane ammount if it

so i recommend turning blood down

[young saffron]

can't tell me he didn't deserve this

[dark folio]

At this rate Willies will go extinct by next year

[tough yew]

the rusty steel shallot

[pine cloud]

who will we brutally murder then?

[young saffron]

Wilhelm

[twilit depot]

i do wonder when the main game is coming out its been in demo for ages

[young saffron]

devs have said to keep an eye out next steam fest

[dark folio]

Patience is key

[tough yew]

October- December

[pine cloud]

then wilford after that

[tough yew]

there'll be a showcase in 13th october

around two days by then

[twilit depot]

oh thats fun

ill keep an eye out

[shell bronze]

commoner v commoner

one longsword against another

[twilit depot]

i killed the gold armored willie with no armor on

by shear luck

[dark folio]

Baron?

[twilit depot]

yeah

as you can see in #game-footage-🎮🎥 sorry for the small image tho

[dark folio]

Alright

[twilit depot]

there a better image

[humble iris]

and lower damage scaling so you dont lose your head over one mistake

[twilit depot]

the bleeding out part should slow them down

it doesn't tho

[brave basalt]

I don’t like that class cuz they have a chance of spawning w no weak points

Otherwise great class

Tier

[shell bronze]

try veteran

[shell bronze]

attack on titan ass death

[sand herald]

🙏

[twilit depot]

bro how?

[mental kelp]

Playing realistic defense is more tuff than letting the blade fly off Willie nillie

[shell bronze]

realistic defense involves the swords making contact approximately 1.3 times and for half a second before the other guy dies

sorry choom i fight like it's hollywood

[mental kelp]

I count not a second held before he’s dead

[elder phoenix]

Genuinely how tf dyu fight armored mfs

Everytime its a 20 min loop of hitting their metal with my metal

While im typin two whole ass knights are tryna beat my ass while i stand motionless aura farming

[hasty blade]

if im correct this is what halfsword coulda been based off of the halfsword twitter 😭

[true parcel]

[hasty blade]

with halfsword enchancer. yes.

without it. no.

[true parcel]

thx

[elder phoenix]

I jus won fist fighting two armed knights

It's levels to this game

[shell bronze]

just take the nearest polearm you can find and smack them across the head

[drowsy flint]

i had one earlier where i slashed a willie in the arm and leg, he dropped his shortsword and then landed on it face first

[elder phoenix]

I got a pole in my waist but they stay callin me armed

[shell bronze]

armored combat does not have to be anything crazy

[shell bronze]

those are always fun

[glass kestrel]

i dont think i make it out of this ngl

[visual pine]

do you think a multiplayer mod will come out before the official, if its possible? lol

[soft osprey]

No, any that were in the works were asked to stop

[visual pine]

ah okay

cant wait for it to happen though, ill most likely have a better pc by then

[brave basalt]

[glass kestrel]

[sullen stag]

no bro

i go in to

peasant boss

[shell bronze]

[shell bronze]

let me show you industry secret

[sullen stag]

[shell bronze]

@sullen stag safe and fool proof

move forward tiny bit to bait dumb ai into swinging

stab

[sullen stag]

oh my days

ive grasped it

😱

[shell bronze]

see

easy]

[sullen stag]

nah

what abt commoner

[shell bronze]

keep using pitchfork and same method

[sullen stag]

k

[shell bronze]

allow me 2 demonstrate

[soft osprey]

Clueless is real good but he’s missing some more fine details. Like, make sure to hit them before they hit you. Also, if they do manage to hit you, make sure to hit them harder than they hit you

[sullen stag]

uh ok

[shell bronze]

also make sure to not die

[soft osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/hello-hi-hy-hey-gif-8520159980767013609

[shell bronze]

and make sure the other guy dies too

[sand herald]

and if you die, no you didn’t

[sullen stag]

got it

[soft osprey]

I have never come up with this before. I think my game is about to improve tenfold

Y’all are so good at this game

[sullen stag]

what if they hit me and my head got split in half and i dont even get a chance to give up

wait

what if

I DONT GET HIT

[brave basalt]

Oh that’s cool, is there any other bait tech?

[soft osprey]

This falls back into the, hit them before they hit you advice

[sullen stag]

😭

[brave basalt]

This is why we don’t spare Willie’s

Vindictive fucks

They will not spare your ass

[soft osprey]

They might spare your life though

https://tenor.com/view/funny-laugh-betterlaugh-gif-5917190

[shell bronze]

here is a multi example clip of the current meta way to play halfsword @sullen stag

second half of that clip

it's also how you play polearms irl (very effective!)

[sullen stag]

ok

[soft osprey]

You are just straight up bullying willie

Not cool

[shell bronze]

that's what reach advantage does boss

[sullen stag]

what abt for armored ppl

[soft osprey]

What’s the name of this game

[shell bronze]

the same thing but focus more on hitting their head

[sullen stag]

half sword

[soft osprey]

You’re welcome

[shell bronze]

do not listen to this person

[sullen stag]

uh ok

[brave basalt]

lame

[soft kelp]

neck shots are so much easier in first person

[soft osprey]

My joke didnt land.

[shell bronze]

half swording against anything higher than man at arms is tedious and annoying

[soft osprey]

Halfswording is a technique and also the name of the game!

[sullen stag]

vr would LOWKEY be crazy

[sand herald]

Halfsword Ming

[soft kelp]

get sword around neck

start sawing

[soft kelp]

100% success rate if they're not wearing an armet

[soft osprey]

My god it’s been a while since someone said this

[sullen stag]

can someone tell me why choosing to chop off limbs gets harder the more u cut off

is there physics

[soft osprey]

The halfsword sawing is a technique that used to get discovered at least twice a week

[sullen stag]

the body gets more tough the more dismembered u are

[sullen stag]

whats the halfsword sawing technique

[shell bronze]

@sullen stag

the half sword sawing technique is literally

[sullen stag]

💀

[shell bronze]

just

hold on let me recreate

[soft osprey]

Sword around back of neck, saw away

[sullen stag]

uh ok

how do i get behind them in the first place

they be locking on

[soft kelp]

no no

you get the sword over their head

around their neck

do you know what halfswording is

[soft osprey]

It was just running joke because during the playtest we would have multiple people a week talk about a “new OP technique” which is just halfswording behind the head and sawing

[sullen stag]

YO

😭

how did u just

[soft kelp]

i wonder if this is effective irl

[sullen stag]

get in so smoothly when hes

[soft kelp]

better ask dequitem

[sullen stag]

wildly swinging

[soft osprey]

You would get murdered so fast irl

[sullen stag]

if this were real ur just gonna die

just get stabbed

or some

[sand herald]

timing and spacing

[soft kelp]

not if you have

full plate armor

like there has to be a possibility

[sullen stag]

WHO HAS A FULL PLATE OF ARMOR IRL

[soft kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/@dequitem/

[soft osprey]

This aint taekwondo! They actually fight back, and won’t let you just put both your arms and your entire sword behind their neck

If anything they’ll just tackle you

[sullen stag]

this guy isnt roaming around in public being armored

[soft kelp]

he fights other armored people

[sullen stag]

is he

using the halfsword sawing

tech

[soft kelp]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/FGpGT42Hkr4

[soft kelp]

if you have a longsword

in a knight fight

chances are

thats one of the first things you're doing

[sullen stag]

yo they legit copied half sword

even the sound effects

[soft kelp]

you know one of the fights hes done

he gets beat by an unarmored guy

by getting his dagger stolen

[sullen stag]

then just

[soft kelp]

everythings a possibility

[sullen stag]

use fist like in halfsword

[soft osprey]

Halfswording is used to get in between the gaps of armor, or puncture mail, if not that then your dagger comes out. On the ground between two armored people it would be a dagger fight and end with whoever gets theirs between a gap first

Obviously

[sullen stag]

nerd

[mental kelp]

It is a Fiore technique

[soft kelp]

https://youtu.be/VdzDgFN7840?si=AEnl7J0KnwXrnVTd&t=353

[sullen stag]

u guys are ALL nerds on this

[shell bronze]

@sullen stag

[soft kelp]

LMAO

[shell bronze]

had to do this in armor because the blunt damage is a bit ass in this game

[sullen stag]

???

holy control

how tf did u do this

[soft osprey]

Oh theres a LOT of medieval buffs in here. I am nothing compared to a lot of people here. Mf’s know every detail of every armor and weapon out there

[sullen stag]

and i know NOTHING about medieval so i think im better

[sand herald]

I know almost nothing either

[soft kelp]

if ur favorite sword aint the kriegsmesser Don't Talk To me

[sand herald]

I just clip farm for a few minutes every day

[sullen stag]

where do i see the weaponsss

[soft kelp]

just use half sword enhancer

anyways the kriegsmesser is sadly not in this game

i think the periods dont match and thats why

[sullen stag]

how to download

WITHOUT

malware

[sullen stag]

and malicious intent

[soft kelp]

yup

[sullen stag]

to fry my pc

[soft kelp]

nexusmods

[shell bronze]

ts is not malware bro

[sullen stag]

do i download it

what next

[soft osprey]

thats funny actually because i genuinely, no joke, fuckin hate this thing

[soft kelp]

😢

whyyy

[shell bronze]

when the opportunity presents you just do it

[soft kelp]

just launch it and it opens half sword automatically

[sullen stag]

idk who mrzacnono is but ima listen to this guy to download enhancer

[soft osprey]

oh did they allow the enhancer back on nexus finally

[soft kelp]

yes

[shell bronze]

forcing it is a bit risky

[sullen stag]

💀

[soft osprey]

its uh..ugly

[soft kelp]

its PRETTY

[sullen stag]

are there any problems with the enhancer

[soft osprey]

aesthetics over function, baby

[sullen stag]

that i shouldmknow of

[soft kelp]

its the PRETTIEST longsword in the history of longswords

[sullen stag]

cuz my pc is kinda butt

do i need a nexus account for this btw

[soft kelp]

yes

[shell bronze]

you also don't have to fully wrap both arms around him

[soft osprey]

shouldnt be. whatever bugs you get from it, you can ask in #modders-guild-hall or search for answers there as theyve likely been answered before

[shell bronze]

if the length of your sword is against the back of his neck area it often works

[soft kelp]

nope

[sullen stag]

k

[sullen stag]

comp i will NOT be implementing ts cuz i know i will die

[soft kelp]

i love sniping the neck with the back spike of a poleaxe

speaking of

poleaxe supremacy

best polearm oat

bro

what kinda poleaxe is this

[sullen stag]

uh

a axe on a pole

[shell bronze]

it's kind of an in the moment/last resort option

but it is always guaranteed to work

[sullen stag]

ok bet

also

how do i hit the mans at arm boss head

hes too tall

and

he has a fat shield

[soft kelp]

so when is the autism diagnosis

[shell bronze]

polearm

in head

[sullen stag]

ok

[shell bronze]

take the longest meatiest polearm you can find and just aim for head

[sullen stag]

i like that weapon where its long ranged and it just has a

blade at the end

[soft kelp]

VOULGE!!!

[shell bronze]

that's voulge yeah

[sullen stag]

but its like a

square blade

[soft kelp]

unless man at arms doesnt have it

[sullen stag]

and it chops off legs like its nothing

[shell bronze]

you can just stay veteran

[sullen stag]

i was chopping off uh

hands and legs

and arms

and necks

LOWKEY op

[shell bronze]

those who claim half sword is difficult

[last sleet]

is there multiplayer?

[sullen stag]

bro no way i need to setup 2fa just to download a mod

nexusmod is so baddd

nvm

[shell bronze]

you do know you can use github for enhancer too right

[sullen stag]

😭 bruh

[languid osprey]

hi

[gritty wedge]

willie is shakespeare

[elder phoenix]

Yeah but I killed somebody like that once so Ion like usin polearms in games that much

[last sleet]

guys is there multiplayer

[shell bronze]

like it hate it that's the meta

[languid osprey]

it’s the bosses that makes it difficult

[shell bronze]

there's a reason why i play unarmored and with a sword most the time

[languid osprey]

specifically commoner and baron sometimes (maybe milita)

[shell bronze]

a polearm cleans every boss out easily

[sullen stag]

whats the insert button to make the menu

pop up and stuff

[shell bronze]

pitchfork to commoner = win

[sullen stag]

???

[soft kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/ishowspeed-try-not-to-laugh-gif-7682731162751353849

[shell bronze]

poleaxe to baron = win

[elder phoenix]

Irl the meta is have a polearm

[soft kelp]

may i pull up the clip where i beat commoner boss 3 times in a row

[shell bronze]

i can show the clip of me blocking every attack from commoner boss

no no no

heres the thing

[shell bronze]

it takes minimal skill to stab commoner boss in his face with pitchfork

[soft kelp]

ur just running in hoping for the best are you not

or trying to parry his attacks with a longsword

that aint the way

[sullen stag]

yo what is the insert key to make the

enhancer menu

go away

and pop up

[soft kelp]

you gotta bait his attacks by walking just a little

into his range

hes gonna swing

[shell bronze]

it's the insert key on the right side of keyboard

[soft kelp]

but u dodge out

[elder phoenix]

This link brought me to a user not found page and now I want to kill everybody in this server what do you suggest

[soft kelp]

keep doing this until he overswings

[sullen stag]

OHHH

[soft kelp]

and in his upswing

go in for the kill

[soft kelp]

dont worry let me

[shell bronze]

i suggest take a breather and kill us later

[languid osprey]

I’m trying to parry but he pulls out some attack that either splits me in half or sever my brain

[soft kelp]

just

one sec

[soft kelp]

no

no parrying

[shell bronze]

your first mistake is parrying him

DO NOT

[soft kelp]

thats a death wish

[elder phoenix]

Bet

[shell bronze]

parry commoner boss unless you're me or either of the john _swords

[elder phoenix]

Youre first

[languid osprey]

wait I meant blocking whoops

[shell bronze]

no blocking either

[soft kelp]

man fuck

its not here

[mental kelp]

All for me not for thee 🥀

[placid coyote]

pit

[soft kelp]

well i guess ill just have to

do it again

this is gonna take 5 minutes max

[languid osprey]

didn’t you js show footage of blocking the commoners attacks

why did chat go quiet

[mental kelp]

Cause moai typing

[soft osprey]

I am very scary

[mental kelp]

Listen and learn

[soft osprey]

Here is my wisdom

Use your weapon properly

You’re welcome

[placid coyote]

people are halfswording

[soft osprey]

That pommel strike probably hurt a lot

[languid osprey]

I’m more used to slicing throats or taking off limbs

[unkempt pivot]

It made me laugh hard when i played the video 😄
https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1o3fwby/early_access_just_got_leaked/

The comments are very funny too

[sullen stag]

why are the weapons in entity spawner

so bad

they are like blunt

[soft kelp]

nvm im not in the flow state rn

[humble iris]

[sullen stag]

?

it removed the blood and

[soft kelp]

[sullen stag]

[sullen stag]

[soft kelp]

[sullen stag]

t1

t2

t3

big

like what is all this twan

wheres the cool weapons at

[soft kelp]

https://tenor.com/view/old-man-funny-talking-lol-gif-25690780

[olive bolt]

I did all that work to unlock the baron just for him to not be that fun to play with

He feels klunky

[sullen stag]

bro

why does

volgue just effortlessly chop off stuff

holy

[placid coyote]

is there any healing in the final challenge?

[sand herald]

Sent him flying

[brave basalt]

me and willie share a braincell

[placid coyote]

is that with mods

or did they make willie stronger

[sand herald]

Technically yeah, the only thing modded in that clip is my loadout

[naive holly]

Farming implements are the best

I stand by the fact that T2 is the most unga bunga traditional "fun" tier

[placid coyote]

I feel like ive been able to throw willie farther

[restive barn]

claimer what weapon

[naive holly]

Hmmmmmmm id love another farming tool

What are we missing

[soft osprey]

A rake

[naive holly]

Thats like, all I can think of thats not just a variation of something we have

[placid coyote]

isnt a rake like a hoe

[naive holly]

It is not

[soft osprey]

But spikey

[humble iris]

pitchfork with a 90 degree turn

[placid coyote]

i thought this was about old tools

i guess they are old

[soft osprey]

Yes rakes are very old

Idk how long it’s been metal though

[placid coyote]

the hoe but with more bits

[restive barn]

You will never believe me when i say this

[humble iris]

rakes were innovated alllll the way back around the neolithic era

very very old

[placid coyote]

wow

[brave basalt]

how do i shieldhau

[restive barn]

A rake

[naive holly]

That is

[placid coyote]

are you sure

[restive barn]

you grab a shield and punch someone with it

[placid coyote]

looks like a fat pitchfork

[soft osprey]

Ngl I see it

[humble iris]

position sword over right or left shoulder with the true edge of the sword facing the camera (where you can barely see the sword's blade)

then flick your mouse into an ox guard position

not too fast not too slow

[brave basalt]

@sleek gull whats w the reaction

[soft osprey]

Hes laughing at you

Are you just gonna take that?

[humble iris]

you'll know you did it correctly if the false edge of the sword sort of clips or cuts into the opponent

its very hard to keep it consistant though

[humble iris]

because no thumb grip!!!

add thumb grip immediately!!

[soft osprey]

They had shirts yeah

[placid coyote]

shirts and no pants

i think

https://tenor.com/view/happy-dance-gif-10061835

[brave basalt]

wait its this right?

[humble iris]

your positioning at the start is sort of off

but it could be

let me just get a clip of me doing it really quick

ill show you

one second

[sand herald]

Yes

[brave basalt]

AHAHAHHA

that stupid fucking game

well i tried

[restive barn]

wait what sword is that

[brave basalt]

sword i modified

[azure mirage]

yeah technically

[humble iris]

@brave basalt check #game-footage-🎮🎥

should be up there soon

(ignore the first attempt)

the last 2 are good examples of a successful shielhau

[brave basalt]

wow thats harder than it looks

[humble iris]

its hard to keep consistent in real fights

but some practice and its simple

[azure mirage]

no

[humble iris]

my advice for doing this is to get familiar with your mouse movements going from your starting position to your left ox guard

[shell bronze]

me when i just don't do hema techniques

[velvet chasm]

what is?

[humble iris]

i do both

focusing on parrying and hema techniques are both really fun

[olive bolt]

I do that with mods

[shell bronze]

kendo ftw

[olive bolt]

The first 3?

The third one the guy in black with the sword is arguably the hardest

[shell bronze]

pitchfork

pitchfork

[humble iris]

wait for a swing and then get a cut in there

be careful of the whip back with the sword though

[shell bronze]

just jab them with pitchfork

lmoa

[humble iris]

and yes pitchfork

[olive bolt]

Just shoot him

[humble iris]

pitchfork and poleaxe is meta

longsword is MY meta

[olive bolt]

Two haded axe is my meta

[shell bronze]

for show entirely

[olive bolt]

Axe

[brave basalt]

hm for some reason the sword seems to move wildly in the air for a bit before repositioning everytime i try it

[shell bronze]

willie has noodle arms

you get used to it

[humble iris]

yeah its pretty hard since our grip is terrible lmao

shielhau is meant to be used with thumb grip

[olive bolt]

Even tho I unlocked the baron by cheating and using mods I still feel like it was wasted time he’s not very fun to play in my opinion

[brave basalt]

hm i wonder why that could be

[shell bronze]

ai dumb

[olive bolt]

Ok now that I want to do that

I have a mod to use custom load outs but I can’t figure out how it works

[humble iris]

ovrdth?

[olive bolt]

Yes

[humble iris]

what cant you figure out

[olive bolt]

So I go into the game and I click on the loudlut I want to save and save it but it isn’t on when I go into the game

I’m probably doing some Thing wrong

[humble iris]

do you click the class you want first and then choose a loadout from ovrdth?

[brave basalt]

cling-clang-cling

[humble iris]

if you do it in the wrong order it wont work

you must choose the tier you want to fight in first

and then the loadout you want from ovrdth

try that

[brave basalt]

i think i got close

[olive bolt]

Il send a video of what I’m doing in game footage

[humble iris]

if you would like i could send another clip during an actual fight of shielhau for a better demonstration

you have the general idea which means your going the right direction

[olive bolt]

I sent what i was doing in game footage

[humble iris]

i wouldnt know whats causing that issue then

[jolly gorge]

many new players would see a stuck arm in abyss as a blessing if i were to speak about 0.4 demo's general limb movement

[olive bolt]

Odd

[humble iris]

ive never heard or seen an issue like that

sorry

[olive bolt]

Mabye I should reinstall the mod

[humble iris]

try that

[shell bronze]

fuckass feint fail

[olive bolt]

I also have the enhancer mod menu which is fun too and has more to offer

And it actually works for me lol

[glass kestrel]

is it just me or does the arena seem bigger ?

[shell bronze]

fov

[glass kestrel]

isnt that thing a virus now?

[olive bolt]

Hope not

[humble iris]

no

[glass kestrel]

before it wasnt but now its under review in nexus

and most antivirurs are flaging it like trojan

[shell bronze]

no

[humble iris]

i saw that too but it is completely void of any virus

[shell bronze]

it's just the way it is

i have it

[humble iris]

yeah

[shell bronze]

i use trainer though

[glass kestrel]

yea same

[olive bolt]

I’ve been using it yet to have any virus

[glass kestrel]

but the enhancer is better ngl

idk

i will wait till things clear out and if its safe again i will install it

[humble iris]

better format imo

[glass kestrel]

yea

[sand herald]

Air launch to throw combo

[glass kestrel]

way better

more simple, easier, and just works better

[humble iris]

how does this even manage to happen

[shell bronze]

kendo double men strike

[restive barn]

jon halfsvardus

what weapon

[restive barn]

Men 🤤

[meager meadow]

[meager meadow]

[sand herald]

i still got nothin man, no ideas for any new weapons for you to make from me

[shell bronze]

start doing freemode and sharpen up your skills for the full release (coming very soon)

[humble iris]

half sword propaganda

[humble iris]

this is good

yes yes

[shell bronze]

my propaganda

big difference

[brave basalt]

yoo i did it?

[humble iris]

OUR propaganda

[distant gust]

anybody elses game crashing alot?

[humble iris]

yes

i would say so

[shell bronze]

ok
help me spot active talented members of the community

you might even be on it if you post enough clips and be an active influence in halfcord

[humble iris]

have everyone who says commoner boss is hard as a possible candidate

[restive barn]

rong clip

[shell bronze]

people who cant beat commoner boss with pitchfork

[humble iris]

im waiting for level 3 for image perms 🙏

[shell bronze]

bullying fodder

[humble iris]

yes exactly

best candidates ever

[restive barn]

i disarmed a person without damaging them severely

[shell bronze]

a little toying around

[shell bronze]

your right hand didn't really like that

[barren vine]

i got a kingly clip actually

check it out in game footage

[restive barn]

knives are sharp

[distant gust]

w mod

[shell bronze]

where

[barren vine]

game footage

[shell bronze]

[barren vine]

[sand herald]

Reminds me of this clip lmao

tanjiro finsher

[barren vine]

"and now for my ultimate move!"

[shell bronze]

this is what feinting ai gets

[runic cove]

On attempt 49,758 of unlocking the Baron

[shell bronze]

total domination

[runic cove]

Also btw

What baron has that much money?

[shell bronze]

the half sword baron

[runic cove]

I mean I'm sure owing an estate brings in a fair bit or cash, but full golden plate seems more like the Duke than the Baron

[runic cove]

Fair enough

[meager meadow]

why does it keeps saying fatal mistake and it crashes

[shell bronze]

blood

[runic cove]

I went to see what the king looks like

[runic cove]

Same here

Has ruined many attempts

[meager meadow]

its whenever i kill someone with golden guy or in the abyss i get hit

its so weird

[shell bronze]

it's the blood

[restive barn]

no mods actually

[meager meadow]

my second attempt getting baron i litearly slit his neck then it crashed and it didnt give me it

[restive barn]

only mod is the weapon

[meager meadow]

its so stupid

[restive barn]

unless youre referring to somethingelse

[runic cove]

That's just depressing

[meager meadow]

i got it now though

[runic cove]

I'm still trying to get to actually fight the Baron

[shell bronze]

chrome actually cheats on all of his vids with superstrength and inv

don't trust him

[runic cove]

Keep on having bugs kill my runs

[shell bronze]

it's not just the gear

[meager meadow]

oh

what was your highest

[runic cove]

That or somehow forgetting how to pick things up

[shell bronze]

it's one of the throwing ones

[runic cove]

Although I did get both my arms broken that one time

[meager meadow]

the best way to kill people with lots of armor is sword and use halfsword method

[runic cove]

That was pretty unique

[shell bronze]

polearms actually

[runic cove]

Polearms are lame

Swords or nothing

[humble iris]

i second this

longsword my beloved

[barren vine]

i posted two more kingshit clips

[shell bronze]

armored combat is difficult mfs when i

[barren vine]

swear to christ theres an easier way to dispatch knights

put your sword around their neck and saw

[shell bronze]

this i agree with

[azure mirage]

hi

[shell bronze]

this implies you can actually reliably get your arms around the dude's neck quicker than a polearm swipe

[shell bronze]

hi

[barren vine]
