Title: Favorite feint / footwork attacks?
Post by: rubicon_crossed on March 19, 2012, 09:54:28 pm
1h: Left swing when you're to the left of your opponent while moving to your right. Left swing again if you manage to move across them to the right unless it's a 1 hander attacking back with their own left swing.

2h: Left swing when you're to the left of your opponent while moving to your right and maintaining a moderate distance, vice versa if you start from your opponent's right side. Thrust while moving backwards unless they manage to face hug you when you step back since you'll probably glance or get hit first then.

What kind of feints or footwork attacks do you guys recommend/find effective?

1h - Rush towards the opponent and tap your left mouse button as fast as possible, untill your enemy dies, or kills you.

I've always liked the polearm: hold down right swing, feint, turn around in a circle, and execute attack.

One sweet trick I like to use and works against better players too is intentionally miss a stab and then do a second one at the enemy while they think they can start their attack. Works with polearm as well as 1h.

You can also do something similar to punish a player who consistently goes for stab chambers.

Stab, miss, then restab to chamber the stab they started to chamber your first stab.

Run towards a player with every intention of attacking them (the feint)... see 3 guys just behind him in plate armor... turn around and run away (the footwork).

My favorite feint is to extend my left arm and then my left index finger. I then shout, "Look behind you! A 3-headed monkey!" When they turn around, I punch them in the back of the head and run away giggling.

:( How often do we do this in fights? I wonder the % hahaha.


I love holding stabs until people let go of their blocks, then hit them.
I love purposely swinging a pole right wing over somebodies head, then starting another and hitting them.
SWitching from a 2h right swing into a thrust can be so fluid you can't see when they switch animations (if you look the right directions at the right times, it takes some finesse)
Overhead --> switch to side swing feint. Counters chambers.
Castoring (Double swinging)

My favorite feint, something I haven't done in months, the delayed feint chamber. You do an attack, feint out of it late, feinting into the same attack timed specifically to chamber the enemy if they were to attempt to chamber your original attack. It's beautiful. If they go to chamber your attack, you chamber them! What could be better?

I like chambering an overhead and either circle to hit my enemy or hit around his block if he reacts to your chamber (fucking glitchy overheads, so fun/annoying to abuse :lol:). Also, right swings are awesome, probably the attack I use most for chambering and was definitely my most used slash when I used the +3 long bardiche.

Pretending that you will attack, then drop weapon and start running for your life

Long dagger-

Orbit the enemy anti-clockwise, with right swing held. Gradually get closer in orbit then suddenly go clockwise and left attack.

Double overhead to unprotected face is always nice. I liked doing that with the morningstar too.

Running away then turning full pelt into them with the stab.

Spamming left/right/left/right til you are in range.

Me too! I use "Look! Shiny Object!" as my material though.

Constantly moving back and forth, into and out of reach(Works only against either heavier armored opponents or people with less ath) and at backpedalling using the FULL reach of my weapon(People always underestimate the length of weapons).Catches them off guard pretty often.

Playing with my sword reach as well, sometimes people says I am backpeddling, otherwise I enjoy properly turning my stabs in, looking a bit on the right of someone then turning in stabbing the face.

The most original thing I ever did in a duel is missing a kick on purpose then attacking when my enemy was (just enough) confused :lol:

It''s easy i just keep blocking feints etc , till i see an nice oppurtinity to chamber the end of his feint.
Also luring my opponent to chamber me then counter chamber works realy wel.

On my hoplite, I sometimes left-click, quickly right-click, then left-click again (feintstab).  Even with a 94 speed lance and 1 attack direction, it works a good deal of the time.  I think the feint is so light the animation can't show it sometimes.
