FFA is so fun on Chiv 2.

Another couple of tips for fighting multiple enemies. When moving, try to position yourself so that your enemies are getting in each others' way. Use body blocking and team damage to your advantage. You will want to alternate targets based on who presents the most immediate threat. If you land a hit, immediately try and get a hit on the next guy about to lunge at you, once you've staggered them, move on to the next person, etc. If you parry an attack, use your riposte (usually a stab) to hit the next guy who is winding up to attack.

Ziggy should use it as his catchphrase, I really liked the running joke!

This is THE Chivalry 2 Guide. Top notch content with wisdom, memes, and skill. Would love for you to dive into the Executioner's Axe though and give it another chance. I use it for badassery but get in the top 5 a lot with it too. Wouldn't be surprised if the halberd just outdoes it in every way, but would love for you to do a weapon analysis on that one specifically - maybe this could be a new series for you (specific weapon spotlights and gameplay). ChaseTheBro used to do that in DS3.

Executioner Axe is not horrible, but it has a lot of negative aspects and I believe it only shines a little bit in big team modes because most people arent very good. Its slow and has a bad stab, so most of its use is going to be from spamming heavy LMB into crowds and hoping for the best. Ive done well with it, but I certainly dont like it. The one positive thing I can say is that the heavy LMB does 70 damage while its heavy overhead also does 70 damage. Not many weapons get that kind of slash damage so thats pretty impressive, but thats about it.

It seem reasonable to have a really long guide for any Medieval combat game. In these kinda of game, there're alot of weapons & combat technics to used, some unique ability & using terrain for your benefit ... while you're playing with either 20-80 players or intensive 1vs1 duel. As a Mordhau player, even though the 2 game has many noticeable differents ... i can used 1/3 of this guide can be used successfully in both games. If you look at any Medieval-combat game guide in a ... kind of a nutshell, it all about how to be a "better player" in many situations as possible, both as a skillful combatant & being a good teammate (and in my opinion, a respectable opponent).

Thank you SO much for the discouragement of toxicity at the end there. Toxicity is the reason I stopped playing Apex, Siege, and For Honor, and I never want it to happen with this game. Matter of fact, what you said genuinely brought light to why I get mad sometimes and I'll be sure to keep it in my head that everyone is just trying to have fun-just like I am. We need more of that in every gaming community.

Came for the guide, stayed for the KC:D and Oblivion background music.

Hey spear has a special place in my heart for the sole fact that you can straight drop kick someone

You are an absolute CHAD. By far the best guide in Chivalry 2.

Absolutely amazing guide! I was a Chivalry player way back in the day, and had about 60 hours into Mordhau. When I picked up Chivalry 2 during the Steam sale/launch, I spent the first 3 rounds just slashing not even realizing there were other attacks (I stupidly skipped the tutorial). This helped me so much and after 5 or 6 hours of practice I’m finally getting a positive KD in most of my games. Definitely subscribed, kudos to the amazingly detailed video! 🎉 Edit: as a fellow KZreadr (sort of), you definitely could’ve broke this into multiple small videos for way more total views. I think you still should! Just my 2 cents ☺️

WOW, This thing is F*CKING EPIC, I really appreciate the ton of work you put into this, I've watched it twice. PLEASE don't stop. All of your Chivalry content is great but this is your opus and should be proud as hell. The "be nice" part, so important, shouldn't have to say it but good that you did. Sometimes that gets lost alot of the time, it's a game and we all play to have fun!

1st video of yours I watched, great work, you've gained another sub. I learned a few things which is always good but the best part was from 1:27:40 to the end. You captured and described so well the biggest lesson most players seem to need - play the objective, be nice & have fun. Looking forward to your next vid.

This literally answers every question I had. Awesome video so thorough

The Chivalry 2 bible is here!

Such an amazing guide! This has become one of my favorite games and it seems like your content is some of the only material worth watching for it. Thank you!

Excellent job, Ziggy. I know you poured your heart and soul into this and it really shows. Now get some well earned rest!

Chivalry 2 releases on Steam on my birthday. I’ve known about Chivalry since I was about 12. I must prepare for this moment. So thank goodness this exists.

“Every other player you see is another person behind a screen who wants to kill you” This is probably the best advice for any multiplayer pvp game.

But im deeply enjoying Chiv2 and seeing someone in the community take so much of their own time to put together their knowledge and help the rest of us? Well, that is indeed a gift for us all.

Very thorough and comprehensive, excellent job!!

I started playing chiv 2 because I loved the first one. I did the tutorial and somehow, didn't retain anything. I have brute forced my way to the top of team games, but didn't really know the mechanics. Now I do, thanks man. Can't wait to put them to use!

What a guide! From start to finish. Well done mate. And you sounding like a nice level headed dude is just a bonus. Well done! Now feed yourself properly. Have a good one.

One of the best intros and comprehensive guides to the melee slasher combat genre out there. Good shit!

I got into this game recently. I only have about 10 hours in it and suck. But it’s still so fun, and this guide has helped a lot. Also I played a game with you (or with someone using your name) the other day and you were really good; you were the duke at the very end and did a good job defending yourself from the other team which was otherwise much better than ours; I remember you had barely any health left at the end but luckily time ran out. Also that intro was really good, loved the music

Hey man, just watched the full thing and all I've got to say is bravo. Honestly. From the intro with the fanfare and the intense music to all of the great advice. This piece of chivalry art was well worth the wait. Main takeaway, don't be a sandwich on an anthill. Go and get your rest gamer, you deserve it. P.S. Would love to play with or against you one day. Even though playing against you would be a death sentence 😂

The small shield clown horn made me laugh way harder than I should XD

But he isn't stupid. He says he loves chiv 2 because it's the only melee slasher that is actually different. Renown is Mordhau *BUT* rust. and so on so forth. Chivalry 2 is actually different and I respect his opinion, I just disagree. He's great fun guy and he is funny. He's like your bad*ss friend. Not overbearing, chill asf, just wants a good time. And all of his opinions aren't plain dumb, even if you disagree you respect him

One tip for consoles players: you cannot feint into the alternate by repeating the input on console. Say stab to alternate stab, slash to alternate slash. And there doesn’t seem to be an alternate button. You have to start the attack, quickly and briefly press block and start the attack again. This is how to switch to alternates.

Finally a lengthy video that just gives me a good amount to go over. Beautiful.

Small but fun trick for shields: Pick up a large shield with the enemy's colors -- you can easily sneak around their left flank 90% of the time, if your heraldry isn't too revealing. I was able to easily keep my noble alive for half of my last elimination match by doing this, and the Agathians simply ignored the guy with the huge blue shield despite the red stripes on his shirt (although I stayed in the shadows to help conceal my allegiance). The only problem is the inevitable friendly fire you'll receive.

@Ziggylata

2 жыл бұрын

This doesnt work on normal players in most cases. If youre an Agathian and you pick up a Mason shield, it should swap automatically to an Agathian Shield (assuming no bugs). To your credit though, this works with odd-cases such as Peasants and VIPs such as The Duke, The Heir and Thorn. Probably the Monks on Galencourt as well.

Intro cinematic fuckin' rocked, dude. Great, great, GREAT guide. Thanks for the effort.

very good guide to get into the game properly, i had zero idea that strong attacks with blunt weapons went through multiple opponents, i had zero idea that the parry had a specific hitbox or that kick didn't do anything against enemies that aren't blocking i assumed i just missed the kick, also i did not know that weapons could outspeed the reposte attack and keep swinging on you. or that the duck has different quick animations depending which way you moved in. so many good tidbits that's easily missable especially coming from original chivalry as many of these concepts are new. and as i am playing man at arms i will be using dodge after attacks to maneuver more quickly around in 1v X opponents, and yeah rushing in alone and getting swarmed, that's me alright. i'll have this in an open tab and practice different things in this guide for a while i think.

The main thing that fustrate me so much in the game is indeed struggling to land an hit and dying in like 2 second during a combat (Lack of skills) But it was nearly impossible for me to undertand my mistakes and on what I should work on to improve, this guide you made helped a lot and now I enjoy the game way more

Hey, new subscriber here. Loved the video. I've played Chivalry 2 for like 30 hours now, and have little to no grasp on fencing mechanics, but thanks to you know where to start. Happy New Year!

Bruh that intro was fire! And your editing deserves more subs alone.

This is so, so good. I’m a hardcore For Honor player, so I’ve picked up Chiv 2’s mind games and reads fairly quickly, but there is so much that this game doesn’t tell you. This was invaluable. (Btw, I do enjoy longbowman, but only to help outnumbered teammates, push objectives, cover teammates, and kill enemy archers (especially crossbowmen). I play a ton of Guardian, so I am used to small-range weapons if I need to 1v1. Not sure if this makes it any better, but I thought I’d let you know ;) )

I think the Engineer should get access to the Man at Arm's 50% less dodge cooldown. All of his weapons have hitstop and he doesn't even have a secondary weapon so he kinda sucks in 1VX. If he had the dodge cooldown ability and the user was good, he would be able to kinda take people one at a time in a 1VX. He would still have hitstop though so he still wouldn't be great in a 1VX just a bit better

na bro the intro was rlly cool. ngl it looked so beautiful and gave me so much motivation. it made this video even better than it already is :)
