After all, under each opponent you need to pick up a special style of fencing.
If you want to become a master of the blade and easily win both in duels and in fights with a crowd of opponents, we suggest a little familiarize yourself with the combat system of the game. To be more precise, specifically with fencing skills.
Parrying techniques in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2: the key to success
The first thing you should learn is how to parry perfectly. Then you will be able to defend yourself from a blow and counterattack, leaving your enemy no chance. To parry well, you need to press the block button before the shield icon appears. You need to train your reaction and feel the timing well in order to press the button in time.
Tip: To practice parrying, watch the direction of the enemy’s punch. Try pressing the block every time the enemy changes stance or swings. If your sword matches the direction of his strike, it will be easier for you to catch the right moment.
The perfect parry can be performed from any position. That is, you don’t have to worry about how your character stands – the main thing is to press the button in time.
Clinch: a close combat technique
The clinch is another important element of fencing that can save you in close combat. To get into a clinch, get as close to your opponent as possible. When contact begins, you will have only a couple seconds to press one of the three strike buttons:
- Left mouse button – chopping blow;
- Right mouse button – stabbing blow;
- Special strike (by default, the “E” button).
The choice of blow depends on your tactics and the current situation, but don’t forget that the right clinch allows you to get an advantage over the enemy, confusing him.
Combo: a powerful weapon for professionals
Bundles of blows or combos are techniques that allow you to deliver a series of blows, leaving your opponent with little chance to defend himself. However, performing them requires skill, as many enemies are quite adept at parrying predictable attacks.
Here are the basics of working with combos:
Don’t repeat strikes from the same side. The more often you attack the same spot, the easier it is for the enemy to predict and deflect the strike. Change the direction of the attack to confuse the enemy.
Watch your timing. For a successful combo, it is important to execute your punches at the right moment, following the rhythm.
Combine combos with other techniques. After successfully perfecting a parry or clinch, start a combo to maximize the momentum.
Here are a few popular combinations (for different weapons):
- For the long sword: right side kick → top kick → left side kick.
- For the axe: bottom blow → powerful blow from above.
- For the hammer: deceptive side kick → head kick.
Experiment to find the bindings that you are most comfortable with.
How to combine strikes, parries and clinch?
To dominate the battlefield, learn how to combine basic strikes, combos and clinch. For example: after a successful parry, immediately follow up with a combination of punches and then close in for a clinch. This combination will weaken the enemy’s defense.
Another example: if you are in a clinch, deliver a special punch and then attack with regular punches to increase the effect. Using these combinations will allow you to destroy your opponent faster.
Fighting tactics against multiple enemies
Fighting with several enemies becomes even harder, because you need to keep an eye on several moving targets at once and know when and to whom you should strike first. In such a situation it is important not only to attack correctly, but also to defend yourself competently.
Here are some tips:
– Look for bottlenecks. Lure enemies into a place where they can only attack one at a time. This will give you a chance to deal with them one at a time.
– Use quick stabbing attacks. If you’re surrounded, these attacks will help you deal damage quickly and knock enemies off their pace.
– Don’t stand still. Constant movement is the key to survival. Run back, take the initiative and don’t let enemies get in your back.
After you pump up your character and collect the best armor, fighting with crowds will become much easier. Enemies will deal less damage and you will be able to use an aggressive play style.
