Glad to have helped, and thanks for the sub :)

I wrote a C# program that intercepts keystrokes and performs specific key combos on time. I mapped the Q key to perform a forward roll, and the Z key to a left roll. I'll have to map these key combos to my program. To note: My dexterity is bad due to neurological issues, so I have to do this to play games in general.

This is so awesome! I’ve gotten to the Mistlands and never known this existed, I’ll need to try it out. I wish you had something to diagram what mouse buttons/keys you’re clicking when, but how you worded it will probably make more sense when I do it myself!

Glad I was able to help!! Once you've practiced them a bit, I would definitely suggest figuring out the best times to use them, and against what enemies. Some enemies have difficult attacks patterns to pull these off on, while others can be difficult to simply because their attacks are quick. Often it can be good to try and get off some form of combo after you bait out an attack. Regardless, these are really cool and can be a definite boon to your journey. :) Onward, to the Mistlands, Viking! Skål!

i watched a video like this a while ago but i thought it was click bait as when the person started the video he didnt specifie that it was more of an exploit rather than an intended mechanic so thought it was click bait when i tried it not realising how difficult it is.

Very cool video! There are some trickier secondary combos with the knife as well - if you wait a bit before holding down the power attack button, you get a six-hit combo that does 1,1,1,3,3,3, similar to the sword's secondary power combo with an extra hit. There's also a super-efficient four-hit combo with three triple damage hits (1,3,3,3) but I can't figure out for the life of me how to do it reliably. Since you're skilled enough to pull off the jump power combo (which I'm horrible at) I bet you could do those just fine.

Thank you my friend :)

Some stuff i learned while trying this out: 1. if you hold block, primary attack, and secondary attack and the hold w and spam dodge, you do an extra 2 triple damage swings that can be chained together (sword only). 2. with most weapons, if you hold primary and secondary attack at the same time while having almost no stamina, you continuously do an attack that deals no damage and you have complete movement control during. 3. My friend can do an animation cancel that lets him do triple damage sword swings faster than the knife can attack, but wont tell me how. Edit: he told me how, you need to bind dance to something, then spam whatever you bound dance to while tapping sword secondary attack, and with good timing, you can swing very fast

@PendragonTheNinja

6 ай бұрын

Thank you, this is awesome :) I appreciate you sharing. There are so many absolutely wacky things you can do between attacks and movement abilities in this game.

So i was doing some testing. You can actually start the primary and secondary combos another way. No need for block, jump, or crouch. Just start with 1 single primary swing. Then go into the combo with Block + Primary, then secondary and dodge spam (for big bigga boom combo) just like you would normally do for the combos. It means you can run at enemies and initiate attacks without having to block or jump first.

@valegrumby

4 ай бұрын

it also works using the crouch method. Primary attack first, then crouch into the next primary, then secondary, then dodge spam.

the trick with using emotes to spam attacks might be faster dps wise than even the sword spacecancel combo, does drain your stamina super quick tho

Amazing video, but a very important piece is missing. In a solo world these are friggin hard to pull off and can easily lead to death especially if there are more than one enemy which is true most of the time. On the other hand if you play coop these combos are overwhelming when someone else has the aggro of mobs. Thanks for the cool breakdown of every combo!

@PendragonTheNinja

Glad you enjoyed, and I totally get where you're coming from. The intent was to share the combos and have people practice them for themselves, but these absolutely are not for every situation. They're almost always worth using when melee-ing bosses, and some enemies you can stagger quicker with these. I guess I decided to leave it up to the player to realize when they're worth using or not, as I wouldn't have been able to cover every conceiveable instance as to when they are or aren't worth using. I really appreciate the feedback!!

@scruffygaming627

Yea, there are alternative 1-2 hit methods as well, which is what i use. And you get even more when combining with a parry (epecially knife). Knife+shield animation canceling attack is godly early game. So this video is missing a lot of alternative uses, but i guess if you get the core concept (which will be difficult from this too fast paced spam-rant video), you can figure out other alternatives.

Video was well structured thorough and well paced. Your complaints are your own. With a little practice I was able to implement all the combos he laid out here. This vid is top tier valheim instruction.

I think the jump combo and block jump combos are the best overall since they can be used while moving around. The stationary combos without jumping are slower but probably good to use with a shield.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Something worth noting and revisiting is the Krom and potentially other slower weapons if any came out in ashlands. Holding the attack buttons was never REALLY part of the equation and more to add simplicity. Attempting to do a regular power combo with the Krom while tapping to attack instead allows you to negate the slow windup of the first attack for a bit of extra DPS. effectively allowing you to do 2 fast hits into the third hit instead of having to restart the combo.

@PendragonTheNinja

Ай бұрын

To be fair, I've probably not given Krom enough testing, as it's far from my favorite weapon type. I'll definitely give this a try! That does sound rather useful.

I'm glad to see a more in-depth guide to these techniques. I keep trying to find more interesting mechanics in Valheim, and this was my biggest find. It's a shame the new dual-axes in the Ashlands work so poorly with this combo, though I highly recommend using the dual knives from Mistlands with it. You can get some ridiculous damage numbers if you get the timing right.

Nahh bro it rlly works.You earned 1 more sub.

I found out that you dont need to start with blocking it can be also done in that way that you first attack and right at the end you hold attack and block to perform the hidden combo also in my opinion it is more forgiving than with the block. Just tested it on faster weapons it is easier to pull of and also when you do it this way you dont need to hold down block you can just click it and hold just the attack i have tested it

Is there a practical use for these extended combos outside of boss fights? They're really good for damage output but I feel like they might take too long and I would just get hit before I could finish the combo.

@PendragonTheNinja

6 ай бұрын

It all depends on the weapon that you are using and the enemy you are fighting. They are best to use between enemy attacks. So let's say you're fighting a Seeker Soldier. Bait out his stomping attack, then sprint behind him, do a quick jump combo, and you'll do more damage than normal. Also in general, you are more likely to put a monster into stagger if you can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. I can't list out every situation where these are useful, but in general there are definite uses in the game for them other than bosses (although they absolutely shine on bosses).

Also I can see myself using these on the harder difficulties a lot. It's pretty common that even after a good parry, you still aren't doing enough damage due to the reduced damage output to kill them in that single parry. With these combos that would now be a lot more realistic. The problem is that sometimes, and especially on very hard, parry is often impossible when following standard progression since things do too much damage lol
