halberd high on the list but it's also so long that it will get blocked by every wall in the state county lines. . .

Use your thrusts and upward swings if you're trapped near walls. Also, don't get trapped near walls.

Man I had a fuckin' incredible streak with the Executioner Sword tonight, I'm so pissed I didn't have a way to record them. I think jumping into a 1v1 server was a huge help in getting the flow down, definitely try it.

If you want a free kill, swing an Executioner Sword at me. I hate those things.

Heater Shield spotted

Yeah, unless it's already a loving huge weapon in the first place (or just long and fast enough to make up for it like staff), Blunt itself seems pretty :sigh: and the claimed gimmicks of "Better vs armor" and "The stamina drain matters!" feel very In Name Only.

The Warhammer in particular stands out. The only thing it has going for it, is that the pointy side deals high headshot damage vs armor :pseudo:

Meanwhile, It's blunt end deals worse damage to a chest covered in armor than the AXE. While the pointy end vs bare chests is... also horrible, at 49. Then it drops like a rock to 30/24/20. (and again, it's blunt side is worse than the slicey axe vs body armor).

I've had fun treating it as a gimmick finishing touch/opening move weapon. Because nobody expects a blunt hammer that lists 50 damage to a helmet, to list 70 damage to helmets with the sharp end. But it just doesn't seem to have anything going for it beyond trying for headshots with the pointy end.

Feels more like the eveningstar and maul are cool because they are HUGE, so they basically had to give them good damage across the board.
At every tier blunt does have better damage breakpoints against armor to kill them in less hits than other weapon types.

The warhammer can 2-shot full tier 3 armor players with headshots. The axe cannot.

The 70 damage alt-warhammer headshot lets you flip the grip and land a bodyshot on tier 3 armor to kill.

I think you have to appreciate that the warhammer only costs 2 points.

Could at least flip one or two, maybe.
technically the only flat rule slashing has over blunt weapons is that it can cut through and hit multiple targets

in practice this is usually bad as that's how you TK, but.

Usually they're also a big faster tho

Honestly I prefer the hit through in every situation. If there aren't teammates nearby then you get to do damage to multiple enemies. On the other hand, if pubbies are nearby then you don't have to worry about them getting in your way and stopping your attack with their face.

Sadly pubby faces still stop your swing even with edged weapons.
UNLESS you happen to do enough damage to kill them. Then, just like a blunt weapon killing an enemy, the swing carries right on through.

One advantage of of edged weapons is that you can do followup combo swings after the sword passes through your enemy, whereas with e.g. a warhammer your combo has to stop when the weapon hits an enemy and interrupts its swing.

No, just morph to a swing when you chamber and they will die. A shield will actually be a hindrance to you on this because if they are spamming and you are just blocking over and over they'll wear you out and kill you anyway.

This game heavily punishes defensive play.

I killed a guy in full armour with a carving knife(a weapon which doesn't stagger on hit and did 8 damage to him on headshots) and he was so mad about it that he spent the rest of the game suicide charging at me while I sat behind my team throwing rocks at him.

Yeah, I'm really hoping they'll keep adding in a wider variety of weapons from other eras and locations. We've got like half a dozen varieties of two-handed straight sword around, surely there's room for some cool poo poo from elsewhere, too.

Abusing the ever-loving gently caress out of the Spartan's falcata to hew off legs was the only time I ever approached mediocre at Chivarly.

E: Also six team skirmish was the coolest poo poo ever, getting to see how everyone played each faction differently and the weird situations that would emerge. The entire ninja team "sshhh"ing each other the whole match. gently caress that game was great.

In my experience it never really had the problem with them even while main Chiv was loving lousy with that poo poo. Also the playerbase seemed much more chill on average, too. I remember jumping onto some DM server where some oldtimer was tutoring a bunch of new players and everyone was having a good time. Another match all pirates congregated in one corner of the map and just drank rum and spammed our stupid voice emotes, not fighting apart from wrecking anyone who wandered in trying to start poo poo.

A bunch of the way they built DW was meant to fix that kind of stuff and then most of the Chiv community didn't keep playing it which was a shame. I loved that thing.

Yeah, DW actually mitigated the worst of the windmill shenanigans by scaling damage to how far along your attack animation was. Though at the same time it also scaled up the speed of just about everything, which was a bit of a step down from the more measured pace of vanilla Chiv.

And yeah, Spartan owned. Throw your spear at the first opportunity and then just go chunking fools with the hugeass falcata. :getin:
