@Halcylion 4 жыл бұрын

I absolutely hate that. This could have been fixed with 2 keybinds: one for locking and unlocking from enemies, one for cycling through targets. And this simple lock/unlock mechanic can be balanced by removing your ability to attack when you're not locked in. (because spamming stab when not locked is OP)

Maybe someone else can correct me, but it's not really necessary, you can pull master strikes at any stance. I do think it makes the master strike easier and more efficient, like the difference between the move where you push the enemy with the shield that does no damage and the one where you just swing to his face after blocking that deals a ton of damage.

The next video I'm working on is a nightmare. The core of the video is done, but I keep finding out things and I keep trying to fit them in without deleting what I've already done. And it's been more than 2 weeks since I posted this one, so I'm getting a bit annoyed. Once the next video is posted, I'll start uploading the improvised "annex" videos, to demonstrate these tutorials in a video format that isn't heavily edited. And I also might do a let's play or stream of the full game. I was planning to play Fallout 76 after November 14th, but that game is shaping up to be a total disappointment, and as such, I have some free time in my schedule to play KCD instead.

Best simple melee tactic is to position your sword upwards to the head and then stab. You can then stab them in the head which deals crazy damage and their face is often unprotected. For this use the best short sword which I think is called the piercer (best stab damage) and use shield for help. Most opponents I one hit. When I first started I didn’t know you could aim your stab to be for either the head or centre of body.

@JezaGaia 5 жыл бұрын

Regarding master strikes, I don't know if it's something knew from one of the latest updates or if it was always like this and nobody ever noticed but you can actually have Bernard teach you master strikes way earlier. You need to start the main quest, go with him for basic training and learn the basic defense (perfect parry and dodge), then once that quest is finished you go see the Bailiff to take your orders and are asked to go on patrol the next day with Nightingale. As soon as that new quest has started you can go see Bernard at the fighting arena for training. The only requirement is that it's during the day outside his lunch hour, as always. So go see sir Radzig as early as possible in the morning so that you have time to go get your gear for the patrol the next day and go see Bernard before nightfall. It doesn't matter if you don't have much time left, just that you can ask him for the training before he goes back to the castle at the end of the day, as soon as you both are inside the combat arena the time stops.

Here a tip, if you do a UP stab, in this case you look up but not slash, stab, it's gonna stab in the head and it's can't be master strike, only perfect block, so you can just spam it until your enemy die, also work with captan Benard when you gonna learn the master strike, instead of attack him in any direction, you do the UP stab, he will never block and you can easily level up you weapon level, it's don't work with longsword, only with shortswords, axe and maces :)
