    Unique animations that come from chained attacks work in a similar way to Master Strikes; There's a narrow window where we can try to land a free hit afterwards,which means doing a combo on top of another is possible.
    From my tests,finishing those which require 4 moves are rare occurrences,you'll have way more fun with the 3-hit selections.

      Have you tried Zeeb's better combat? It makes AI much less likely to master strike and makes Henry's timing much smaller, which makes them MUCH less spammable and a smaller part of combat.

      I agree, but if I could make one suggestion, it’s hard to see how the sticks are moving especially when also trying to keep an eye on the combo shown at the top. I think it’s because of how quick the movements are. If there was anyway you could exaggerate them a bit more or maybe highlight the direction they get pushed this would be perfect. Or maybe I’m just getting old and should eat more carrots 😂

    It is worth noting that Henry's weapon will automatically follow through to the opposite angle you attacked from. For example, if you attack the high left and do not use the analog, Henrys next attack angle will always be low right and vice versa. This is useful because it happens to line up with the ending of many combos. Look at blinding strike. It can be executed by only using the analog twice, first to attack high left and then to switch to attack high right, after that simply hit R2 twice at the right timing and the combo will be completed. Same goes for False edge.

      @Eliii023 2 місяці тому +3

      agreed. if you think about it, the first two strikes are the only times that you need to touch the analog stick because the third and/or the fourth strike will just follow through by spamming the slashes.

      @@manlu_gaming I have a decent but worn $15 mouse pad that helps my mouse not move too much when I'm just resting my hand on it (though any mouse button click will move the mouse a little, of course). That's context.
      Just as TOG says in the video, I've found that 3-action combos are much easier to pull off. Though mostly that's b/c enemies can always interrupt a combo with blocks.
      For longsword, my favorite is the fehler because thrusts don't require controlling the angle of attack (not true IRL in my training experience, but tolerable and even helpful in game). I think the zorn ort could also apply esp with the default attack followthrough direction (left to low right for the first two attacks), then an easy thrust. I initially didn't bother practicing this zorn ort b/c I expected later opponents would have breastplates that soak a lot of damage (the game says you can aim thrusts high and low, but the combo thrust seems to have a fixed target to the chest), so I focused on the fehler for its attack to the head.
      So far in my first full playthrough, haven't had much luck with combos using axes or maces, but that may be b/c I've always used shields. Per video, I'll have to play around more with the attack angling to see if I can make it work.

    This is by far the best tutorial offering precise advices on combination, which is the reason I've stopped playing KCD a few years back. I had already finished the game and got most of the achievements. I am an achievement hunters but, I am totally useless with the controller and I had made the decicison not to spend months trying to learn with a controller for just one movement, namely, aiming using the thumb stick. I am not blaming the controller. I am admitting that I am useless with controller. I had been a vivid COD WW2 multiplaer gamer. I trained myself successfully judging where the aim (crosshair position without its existence in COD, same as in KCD). And also, for me, using a mouse to aim is just a second nature to me. Even so, the information offers by this video about combination totally amazed me. You are the man, sir. Thank you for making one of the best videos about combination strikes in KDC. Thank you very much for your effort and time. No doubt it will benefit a lot of the KCD players.

    I played through this game probably four times and I could never get the hang of combos. I will probably play it again before the sequel and try this. I wish the master strike didn't exist because it's so ridiculously effective that there was no need for me to figure out the combos at all. I hope the sequel fixes that by removing the master strike and making combos worthwhile at least.

    you should note that if you want to do combos, you should be well armored. As you can only guarantee the first and final hit of a combo, there's always a chance that you be hit by a master strike while attemping one, and some master strikes can be lethal if they hit an unprotected area.
    That said, I have an idea for a video: document the safest combos to do. I am pretty sure that the master strike animation depends on the angle of attack, for example, IIRC, an overhead attack from a mace or axe you will be countered by master strike to the head which can instantly cause bleeding, especially with a certain Hardcore perk.

  • @99bulldog
    @99bulldog 2 місяці тому +16

    It's very helpful, but most of the time you're going to be in combat with multiple opponents and trying to do even a 3 hit combo is virtually impossible at least for me. The game has made master strikes the meta because it's the easiest way most effective way without a lot of effort. But as you said that gets boring after awhile. I'm really hoping the combat in KCD 2 gives us the opportunity to vary up combat better than in the original.

    I've been playing with trading parries and blows, making sure to feint and strike from various angles.. And once I got a hit in that starts a combo either from perfect block or just snuck in, I switch to full offense to try and get as many combinations and other pressure hits in. Seems like NPCs fighters are less likely to perfect block or master strike when they're winded AND when you are not repeating an attack pattern. So with decent vitality and stamina management you can just downright bully even black peter. (Though for him I recommend way above 10+ relevant combat skills)
    A three hit combination can quite well open up a chance for four hit combo

    It took me a long time get Chain Strikes down. It gets boring winning a fight by only master striking. What I say to people as long as you are able to Master strike large groups and survive taking on 5+ enemies. Use underpower weapons so you get more hits in. If you use a strong weapon, you will kill most opponents before you get to practice your combat. Just follow thru the flow of the Chain strikes and not wait for a perfect parry or stun every time. If you have the perk that your blocked attacks remove more of the opponents stamina thats helps a lot too but when you when stamina is gone they take a lot more damage so they die too fast as well.

    @declancampbell1277 Місяць тому

    id love the combat in this game if it wasnt for master strike. I get that its a tool to help you take out multiple opponents, but even low level bandits use it extensively. It trivialises combat too, because the optimal solution to every combat encounter becomes master strike into attack, and then repeat until finished. If youre going to go down the route of exploring combos, i'd highly suggest playing on PC and downloading a mod to turn master strike off for both henry and enemies, or at last a mod to finetune the percentage chance the enemy can activate one.
    At least with just the perfect parry system, it comes more down to player skill and repeated ability to perfect block, rather than just master striking and resetting. thats not even counting that some master strike animations can cause bleeding or significantly larger windows for follow up damage than others.
