I wish there was an option to vote friendly fire on. So pirates can can practice TDM with their own crew.

Amazing video! I've been playing Sea of Thieves for a while now (I play when I can but can't get on as often as I'd like) but I'm still not very good. But since watching these videos I've definitely improved. Can't wait to put these tips and tricks to the test next time I play. Thank you! See you over on Twitch next time you stream!

The only thing I think you glossed over was using block movement to actually fight with instead of getting around someone pinning you in. For instance you can jump in any direction (forward, backward, and side to side) while holding block. I have seen swordsmen use that strafe mechanic to dodge a shot or sword swing then do their own lunge and counter WITHOUT getting hit. They hold their block, other pirate shoots at them, they jump to the side, then lunge right at them while they are reloading. Same thing with lunges. You can't block a lunge but you can strafe out of a lunge.

Great video hitbo! Some pretty great info and tips. I was wondering, have you ever done a guide for the flintlock or the other weapons? I feel like it’d be very helpful

@MrMeat788 Ай бұрын

What I like about this type of video is Green, Deathknight, and Isaac are there to help fill in the blanks. That "Attack Priority" is a big tip that I forgot about. I call the sword hop the "Sword DODGE" since it actually gives you I-Frames. It's hard to time but I think it lets you dodge bullets. I call the sword hop + Jump "bunny hopping" since it kind of resembles that. Now the video critique. It's hard to say which style I like better. I actually really love your "HOW to BECOME a SWORD LORD" video. The comedy RP feel matches SoT wackiness. I re-watch that one on occasion because there is something about it I find very entertaining. Using that video as a comparison. This style is good as well because it is Twitch Hitbo doing pirate science, almost like a podcast. Whereas the older video feels like KZfaq Cursed Captain Hitbo, if that makes any sense. This new video is more informative but runs much longer than the older video. The time and funny editing of the older video is perfect.

Would be nice if RARE gave us the option to "Spar" with our crew on long voyages.... maybe the mode ends when one pirate gets to 1hp. Thoughts?

@roberthill6738 Ай бұрын

Great tips and super helpful. Unfortunately when going against sweats sword is just not effective, youll just get 2 tapped before you can even think about getting close enough to do anything with the sword.

@ThMindFdr Ай бұрын

How is that being sweaty? They are clearly superior than you who have mastered sword play..😂😂

@roberthill6738 29 күн бұрын

@ThMindFdr I say sweaty because most players that aren't sweaty aren't going to 2 tap you every time, you could easily get into a sword range situation against a casual person that is using two guns. The sweats however, your getting 2 tapped every time.

Everything you do on your pirate stays. Safer Seas just has soft and hard caps on the content you can experience and the rewards.

Wait... so you can block bullets with the sword as well? I am a little confused with the boarding/blunderbuss section. 😅

not block bullets but utilize the quick hop from sword to MAYBE dodge.

How do you get in the same server if you’re not in a crew ?

@Eastonfection 21 күн бұрын

Either find another player on the server that can add your friend and invite them to their crew, or you server hop until you end up on the same server

RARE needs to make the blocking lunge mechanics the standard mechanics. I don’t understand why new players need to be taught this trick to unlock the sword’s potential. Once you know about it there’s no reason to ever do the standard lunge again.

so been playing with crossplay off on ps5 boy they have some of the biggest cowards I've seen they will only attack when you are sitting still after you spawn in and hit the ship to sink it then run and if you find them again and chase them they scuttle their ship or go off the map. like if you wanna pick a fight stick around to fight. all Ps5 players who do this you are cowards and need to leave the game or grow up and get good vs running like you do.

Why did you make this video, the sword is just swing, lunge if it is safe to, and block when being hit by another one, plus the video is 28 minutes long and I swear you already made this video before.

it's also a fun weapon to use, and encourages people to not just stick to the annoying double gun meta.
