I think this video perfectly summarizes the main weakness of the K/D focused playstyle. You can score a shit ton of points and get a lot of kills, but you ultimately aren’t going to be helping your team much. Sure, it might work if you’re playing defense and want to be a VIP, but it definitely doesn’t help your team attack and defend objectives much. With this playstyle, whether on offense or defense, you’re essentially a skirmisher that stays at the fringes of the map and the margins of team fights, only ducking in to pick off stragglers. It’s a necessary playstyle if you’re playing archer or Ambusher, but it’s not particularly effective at getting the objective done. In your game here, you ultimately scored very well, but your team still lost the game, and you didn’t top frag. The best way to stay at the top is ultimately, difficult as it is, learning to play in careful coordination on the objective with your teammates during team fights, as well as being skilled enough to consistently win 1vX. It does take some practice, but I find that being able to 1vX successfully, or even just survive for a while against a group, can be tremendously helpful. Not to mention, lots of objectives give shitloads of point. Sometimes, I’ll deliberately take a 1vX against all or most of a spawn wave, and even if I don’t get a kill, I can keep them on the ropes for 20-30 seconds while my teammates either get them from behind, or can pile themselves onto the objective while I draw the enemy away from it, since most chiv players have no situational awareness and can easily be distracted and pulled off of objectives by the prospect of an “easy” kill. 1vX’ing is hard, but it can be done, and it mostly depends on footwork and target switching. The footwork is the hardest part to learn, because it involves looking at where the enemy is and predicting where the enemies you’re fighting are going to try to position themselves to get around you. For any player, being surrounded means that you’re fucked on 9/10 occasions, so you can’t let that happen. You have to keep dodging, and dodging in weird, unpredictable ways that still put you away from the enemy instead of just dodging backwards. It’s difficult, but can be accomplished with practice. On the other hand, the actual hitting part of 1vX is easy. Again, since most Chiv players lack situational awareness and will hit their own teammates more than the enemy during Xv1, target switching to get hits is easy. You let them feed you easy slash counters, maybe an overhead counter from time to time, and when you counter, redirect your counter-strike to a player other than the one that just tried to hit you. Counter-feints are great for this; one common move I do is counter one guy’s slash, feint into a heavy overhead, and simultaneously turn left or right and down to redirect the overhead to a different guy while also looking down to accel. 9/10 times, it’s an absolute noob grinder, and I have won up to 1v6 on a hotly contested objective using target switching. Much harder but ultimately more consistent and rewarding playstyle that usually contributes more to the objective, and often results in an equivalent and sometimes higher score to the roaming slayer playstyle. None of this is to say I dislike the roaming slayer; I think it’s a great playstyle for noobs to pick up so they can go on a kill streak and not die every 5 seconds due to bad positioning and teamfighting, I also use it to sometimes good effect when I play Ambusher. But, it also has clear limitations with respect to objectives and team play, and I know that lots of players will get pissed when they see that the guy on top of the board, who should have led the team to victory, was just farming kills and you lose the game.
I like this comment. I'm a noob aspiring to this style of play. I prefer playing to the objective over wandering around looking for easy targets. I die a lot, but I've won a couple of 1vXs when I've kept my cool. It's not like I wasn't getting blindsided when I was just looking for easy kills anyway. I also sometimes pick a fight with an obviously better player. It's like martial arts, I learn more from sparring a guy who can kick my ass than an easy opponent.
That's one aspect, but it's also useful in a team fight to be able to pick out weak links with out slayers your team can get side tracked and stuck off the objective is how I look at it
Basically comes down to not egoing and not playing like you never slept and running into 10 enemies. Intelligent play always makes every game easier. Very good video, something I love about this game is the tactical style of play going and 2v1 people, helping your team stabbing someone in the back. Picking off kills. Playing archer correctly too and supporting your team. This game is a really good game, probably one of the most enjoyable games for me in recent times. Never have I felt sour playing this game.
Same dude I never get angry at this game. Maybe a little shocked at the ridiculous things that happen but I have never rage quit. It's just a lot of fun and low stress even dieing can be funny
@@Nuggz1 Saw a mf running around with a bear yesterday shit was hilarious got beheaded because I was distracted though haha. Started the game a couple days ago very fun.
Been playing this game with my buddy and we both said the same thing, "Something about this game makes it impossible to be mad no matter how bad we are doing".
Great guide! Obviously the fundamentals of the game like countering and footwork are important but having good game sense and positioning is just as important.
The fundamentals are very important. There are already so many guides on the fundamentals of the game but I will also be coming out with my own soon! I also believe though that team objective is mostly positioning and good decision making. Even somebody who might not be great at countering or dueling can still get very impressive scores if they play smart in other ways!
I really liked the idea you started with talking about playstyles. Looking forward to a future video talking more about that. It's always interesting to hear other perspectives and have someone actually put in words things that many of us kind of take for granted and not think about too much. As always, great video!
It's something I've been thinking about doing for a while so it's coming for sure. It's probably going to take a good amount of gameplay from different classes to be good so it won't be the next video but maybe next week
Great content! I was playing the “roman slayer” without even realizing that it has a name. It definitely works but the question is it really fun? I love 1vs2 situation which I win 3 out of 4 times and this is the most fun for me in this game. Also playing this style is not most efficient objective wise. I prefer wining the game over taking top places and the thing is if you want to play objective you have to sacrifice yourself quite a lot. Liked and subscribed!
You are absolutely correct. I also don't find this style particularly fun either. I just want to give those who don't experience the top of the score board an easy way to get there if they haven't thought of playing this way before. It is not the best for winning on the obj and taking the win as you can see in the gameplay
Good info. I use the same greatsword and I found that it actually is much more difficult to use than say a smaller more agile weapon. It's just way more impressive. I'm going to get better with it so I can dominate from a distance.
played this play style for a bit, my old play style i was usually getting 40 td 10 deaths, after changing to roaming i got 3 deaths 100+ takedowns 😂 thank you man 🤞🤞
This is a good play style that I definitely use most of the time. There are some issues; such as when too many people play like this. That’s when you get 6 allies taking half of each other’s health in the back lines trying to kill 1 over extended enemy. Also, this play style just doesn’t work in some chokepoint sections like the last 2 objectives in rudhelm when both teams are funneled into a smaller space.
It's smart to change up your style based on the situation. If everyone played like this there would be nobody to push the obj. But if you get really good at quickly ending the out of position enemies then it gives the team less distractions and they will hopefully move towards the obj
I'm interested in what you call the opposite playstyle, which is me. I end up being the one that rovers walk away from cause i tie people up with long duels. Im not big on hitting players in the back. I just like a good fight and for my team to win
Next week I'll post what would be the opposite kind of playstyle. I'm calling it the berserker. But tomorrow I got the defense playstyle dropping so stay tuned
@Nuggz1 I'd call it the chivalrous playstyle. Fighting with chivalry while scoring high is much harder but also rewarding because that's where I end up finding the funniest situations and have fun encounters with other chivalrous players. The devs knew what they were doing when they chose the name. I'm afraid some players will never experience it though because the ego or competitive nature will never let them risk scoring low or having a bad k/d ratio
@casey8378 I think that honor doesn't play a huge role in team objective. If you're on defense it's honorable to play on the objective and on attack it's honorable to not feed the enemy by running in without help. It's a team game after all and that's kinda how I look at it.
I'm glad it helped if you used it well you may not even see much of the heavy hitters on the other team. This strategy is great at punishing people who are out of position
@@Nuggz1 I play this way but I also purposely wait for enemy teams good players to get surrounded and then halberd overhead the back/side of their noggins. I top the boards 90% of games and make a lot of people mad lol
Just learn tech and get in the thick of it in first person cam, way more fun to take on unfair fights and take a few or all with you. Counters, feints, triple feints and all that tech will come with more direct combat I think, hit and run style is fun but I like a worthy opponent lol
This isn't my preferred style either, definitely more of a flanker and obj player. But this is the easiest way to top the score board for those who struggle with that. You can definitely have a lot of fun pushing into the thick of it though and learning all of the techs
My friend said this game is boring and primitive because all you have to do is spamming dane axe overheads on the backs. He even managed to ger to 1 KD! Now I see, hes not ignorant, hes a roman slawyer!
this is the way i play when im an ambusher or running spear/halberd. My mindset isnt even always picking off kills but more getting my team to advance un hindered. I see it far too often where too many teammates get distracted by one guy near spawn
I am not a very good player, but now I live longer just from situational awareness. It really matters -- even against the elite players who Matrix dodge etc.
Will be posting more aggressive playstyles in the future, if you don't have a firm grasp of all of the mechanics I would definitely suggest this more passive playstyle at first.
Make one for defenders bc it’s a death sentence when sallying out of a castle to meet the attackers out on a field. Especially when the attackers team are stacked it’s a constant pain to retreat and sometimes you can’t retreat unless the attackers ramp reach certain parts of the map to get into the castle alive, and I repeat “alive”
6:52 sure i'll do the heavy lifting for you ok jokes aside you nailed it down explaining what the video is about. Honestly tho i like playing very agressive and taking risks, gambling and improve at anti-ganking, i'll probably die in 1v3 but's worth the shot
Most people like playing like that. It's fun to run in and just swing for the fences taking out 3 people at a time. My latest playstyle guide is going over that aggressive playstyle
Dueling teaches good mechanical skill and is good practice but plop somebody who only duals into TO and they won't be very good. Completely different skill set
@@Nuggz1 it’s great ! Hey I’m watching your video as Argon right now. You remember last week when you got Argon in the most sweaty lobby ever ? I was mason. That must have been so stressful for you ahha
I came here looking for a new strat but this is already what I do when my k/d is getting wack I’m either doing this or charging in the middle of as many enemy as I can and just start swinging for the fences with my sledgehammer
One tip to new players: Stop rushing the combat situations and stop blitzing into the frontline alone. Fun Fact: in Medieval Warfare, it was almost always far from a lot of depictions. It was far more strategic and even in moments of bloodshed, they were extremely technical and skilled warriors.
@@Nuggz1 yea, it’s basic Warfare 101. Sure there were tons of casualties throughout all of the wars and battles but minimizing casualties was the most important factor.
yes but sometiems i feel like we get more done as a team if i just int myself into the backlines and sweep through a bunch of guys with one or two heavies before i die lol.
This one is the officer knight and I am using the greatsword! This strategy will work with any weapon that has some reach though. Longsword would also be highly effective here
Kill stealing isn't really a concept in this game. Every enemy is fair game to anyone on your team. This isn't call of duty. In this game 1 good player can actually take out your entire team if everyone just ignored them. You actually need to gang up on some players.
@darrylhardin5139 Staying alive is just as important as the obj. Being alive means you are a road block for anybody. Running in and dieing in the name of playing obj is hurting your team 90 percent of the time.
Bro with lobbies now being full of skilled players this is the only feasible play style especially if going for VIPs Note: place ladders whenever possible they give +250 points Use classes with the horn ability to get a shit ton of extra points Take down engineer structures they give decent points Use try hard weapons like: dan axe, greatsword, longsword, etc.
FIGHT SKILLED PLAYERS, guides can only give you information but cannot help outright with improving skills and tactics. Giving your all when you’re up against a skilled opponent will quickly show you the right and wrongs ways to fight while also showing that blocking is for life saving and counters are your bread n butter to surviving and dealing with multiple opponents and understanding the power of feinting.
Correct! You do need to fight skilled players to get mechanically better at the game. But you need to use your eyes and ears to get better at positioning. This is mainly a positioning guide for the people who don't understand that running into a group of 5 enemies is bad.
@@Nuggz1 I meant because the objectives will move behind your position and enemies will start spawning closer to you if you hold your ground, and running forward is a lot quicker than running backward so it’s easy to get overrun if you’re not quick to retreat.
@samuelking4723 it's easier to retreat on attack for sure. On defense you need to be more aware of when all your team mates have died but on attack you just need to be aware of how many team mates you are pushing in with or the same thing will happen
I cant stand when my teammates have one of the top guys of the other team surrounded and he keeps countering them because the damn morons keep spamming slash, instead of using special attack or kick
Most players never realize this. Players like Stridah or EvilEasterBunny will never step foot on an objective but will go 90 - 0 and people praise them as amazing players.
Every game is like this, you have people that kill and you have the support objective players. Like we all know engineers wont top kills mostly but they are pretty much vital and very impactful. The scoreboard doesn't give them credit.
@StridahsAngels True, you can't just get an 80 and 0 game just by picking people off. Eventually you take a step too far and have to survive the 1VX. You and EEB are good at escaping from those bad situations. Hmmm maybe a good video idea 💡
@@Nuggz1 Lol I'm maybe a bit salty as a Man at Arms always getting blindsided by them but I do find it a bit unchallenging to play that style. Think they made the great weapons classes a bit OP. Would like them to revise some stuff for Chivalry III, if it ever gets made. 😅 Cheers!
@user-mg4cc9sy7p agreed its a lazy way to play but effective. I get really bored with it at this point so I use more of a flanking style usually. But it's a good style to learn if you want to try going for deathless games.
Love this game BUT they changed it for sure. Registration is bs, and connectivity has been bs. Even cod runs better now. Ill be fighting and my guy will swing to an open body but will act like nothing happened. Then they swing and break though my block 1st try. Or i could be hitting someone over and over again without them blocking and they'll be unaffected with it registering. To then swing ince and kill me. Idk if theres something im missing but its the only game that really doesnt seem balanced now. Can make you livid when you know you shouldnt have died in a 3v3 lol
It is a blast to down some beer after work and jump into the mosh pit! Some people get frustrated with this though because they think it's the only way to play and die over and over until they Uninstall the game
@Nuggz1 that's very true. There are many ways to play, what works for me may not work for others. The important part is to have fun first and find what works for you.
@@Christian-tw3sp I wish I played like that, I would probably die way less. But the rush of winning a 1 v 5 is too addictive. Although I will say I play like that in duels. I assume everyone can kick my butt.
A little bit but ambusher is more just like backstabbing people or throwing knives but it's just good decision making and supporting your team instead of running into big groups and dieing all the time.
@@tylerb2644 unfortunately this is what happens when the game becomes left to stagnant. I’ve seen it happen in battlefront 2. You get both sides of the spectrum. Lots of the players get stuck fighting high level players who then improve further off each other further increasing the skill ceiling, which can be both good and bad. It leads to more competitive players and so on and so forth until people are overly competitive.
What's the point of getting kills if that doesn't improve your fighting skill at all? You're not gonna learn to fight but stabbing people in their back, seems like a waste. Recently started playing and seems like the custom servers with FFA duels only is the best thing this game has to offer imho
There are many fighting skills, many of my videos have a focus on positioning tactics because being able to make good decisions is the most sure way to get high scores. Anybody can train mechanical skills in a dual server.
While I do understand that there is no best way to play in Chivalry 2 this is NOT it. While this is the easiest way for getting kills it basically amounts to kill stealing and scavenging. For archers and ambushers this is a necessary playstyle however, most people may not find this rewarding as a player taking part of team events as you want to win as a team. My questions are these: "What is the point of being the greatest loser, when you can be the weakest winner?" Furthermore, the name of the game is "Chivalry" 2 not killsteal 2. Where is the Honor and Chivalry that one expects from their teammates? This not an attack on the youtuber of course as he did mention that this is the easiest method and he did show it. Futhermore, this method actually helps your team in things like Team Deathmatches/Last team standing etc. Also apologies for the rant.
The only benefit to kill stealing in this game is to end fights. When you see a guy struggling to get a kill and you end that fight it let's your team move on to the objective. Taking this playstyle to the extreme, usually means you have over 100 kills but your team still loses the game.
@Nuggz1 It isn't kill stealing if your teammate is about to die that is just defending them. Yes in extremity it does cause your team to lose. Thank you for the video though. It will help newer players get used to the chaos. Hopefully it doesn't become a habit. Also thanks for the reply.
You don't have to use this shameless kill stealing tactic to top the scoreboard just saying. You will never get better that way. And there are plenty of other weapons that are great for TO if not better than the greatsword. I see this video is more catered towards people who suck ass at the game so that's fair. But if you're new to the game take this advice as a grain of salt.
Correct this guide is catered to people who are struggling. People get frustrated running into a group of enemies for 500 hours waiting for the skill to come. Good positioning is key to TO. And this can be used with any weapon not just GS
Roaming Slayer? More like scavenger or blue falcon. I get picking your battles but you don't battle- just steal killing blows from teammates while you avoid the objectives. Real pro. 😂
It's a playstyle, not my playstyle. A good player knows that playstyles need to change based on the situation at hand. This playstyle won't win games but it will help you to stop dieing and will help to learn positioning.
This is how quite literally how most of those guys you see going 70 and 0 get most of their kills. Of course mechanical skill plays into that as well but if you don't have the mechanical skills yet you can still do much better by observing your surroundings and playing smart.
@@alvideos2145 lol no one cares you're a chad or not at this game. No one cares about your kdr. No one knows you, no one cares 😂 ( now just say AnD yEt YoU ComMeNt ). Just be there for you team, help others and have fun 😘
Hackers destroy fun for everyone else who are not hacking, the game dies because of y'all, simply because normal players with good or above average skill constantly get beat down by you PC warriors with your extremely high frames per second.
@@randomfatkidonyoutube1400 you don't actually or you don't lol lmao all good bro I normally do what they don't aspect attack attack attack and stay moving at all times when you fight see which way your gonna get space from your enemy before you run up on them like a exit plan never stay long. Hit them quick like Royce 1v1 that predator.

Haha you aren't the only one, there were so many comments saying that they wanted some guides on how to get the VIPs in the first place
It’s all about the mindset. Play like it’s your real life and if you die, you die. Learn to be more careful and aware of your surroundings.
Or just play the game for the enjoyment of learning it. It’s just a game bud.
@tylerb2644 I never said it wasn’t a game so don’t come into my comment and be a condescending asshole.

Thanks for the guide! Pretty sure playing as your “roaming slayer” helped us win a few today, even with several high level players on the other team.
I'm glad it helped if you used it well you may not even see much of the heavy hitters on the other team. This strategy is great at punishing people who are out of position
@@Nuggz1yeah at some point those guys were hanging out near spawns just slaying people
@@Nuggz1 I play this way but I also purposely wait for enemy teams good players to get surrounded and then halberd overhead the back/side of their noggins. I top the boards 90% of games and make a lot of people mad lol
@@kaykay1844 That's the best way to play the halberd for sure. Even the best players can't stop an overhead that they can't see coming
Great guide. This channel is underrated.
Thank you!
Just learn tech and get in the thick of it in first person cam, way more fun to take on unfair fights and take a few or all with you. Counters, feints, triple feints and all that tech will come with more direct combat I think, hit and run style is fun but I like a worthy opponent lol
This isn't my preferred style either, definitely more of a flanker and obj player. But this is the easiest way to top the score board for those who struggle with that. You can definitely have a lot of fun pushing into the thick of it though and learning all of the techs
got my sub. The points you bring up are fundamental once known
Thank you bro 😁
My friend said this game is boring and primitive because all you have to do is spamming dane axe overheads on the backs. He even managed to ger to 1 KD! Now I see, hes not ignorant, hes a roman slawyer!
this is the way i play when im an ambusher or running spear/halberd. My mindset isnt even always picking off kills but more getting my team to advance un hindered. I see it far too often where too many teammates get distracted by one guy near spawn
I am not a very good player, but now I live longer just from situational awareness. It really matters -- even against the elite players who Matrix dodge etc.
Glad you got something out of it! More guides coming soon
Awesome guide brother!
Good vid dawg, just started playing this game
Thanks man, hope this helps you starting out in the main game mode. I'll be posting more guides soon for beginners!
Slash pre counters,heavy slash spinnys and be aggressive but be aware. Overheads can be acceled into the sound barrier as well
Will be posting more aggressive playstyles in the future, if you don't have a firm grasp of all of the mechanics I would definitely suggest this more passive playstyle at first.
You definitely need to err on the side of caution but being a bit aggressive helps figure out your reach and capabilities
My style is called "watch out." Accuracy when accidentally hitting teammates 100%. Hitting enemies on purpose 10%.
Crazy how I’m looking up tips and the first video I see is exactly my playstyle, only level 40 and finishing top 15 most games
I thought I was the only one who did this and was good at the game btw 😂
@gbc636 haha that just means your smarter than the average chivalry player. This playstyle just amounts to not running into bad situations
@@Nuggz1 yea I hate dying and I have a lot of fun playing like that the only thing I gotta work on is team damage lol
This has worked with the new Godengags doing heavy swing at distracted knights. Instant kills.
Make one for defenders bc it’s a death sentence when sallying out of a castle to meet the attackers out on a field. Especially when the attackers team are stacked it’s a constant pain to retreat and sometimes you can’t retreat unless the attackers ramp reach certain parts of the map to get into the castle alive, and I repeat “alive”
I have a defense guide. Become a defense god
Yes awesome guide I always find myself in the middle of caos getting killed or my positioning gives the enemy team easy kills.
Thank you! I hope it helps you out
Definitely truthful. When you see 80\5 player, be sure that he is not the most skilled, just the biggest rat
6:52 sure i'll do the heavy lifting for you
ok jokes aside you nailed it down explaining what the video is about.
Honestly tho i like playing very agressive and taking risks, gambling and improve at anti-ganking, i'll probably die in 1v3 but's worth the shot
Most people like playing like that. It's fun to run in and just swing for the fences taking out 3 people at a time. My latest playstyle guide is going over that aggressive playstyle
really helped out... And subscribed but need more vids
2 vids a week right now, with 4 streams a week. More guides coming man
It's actually crazy how you don't have to be the best duelist to top the score. Just smart positioning and decision making really carries.
Dueling teaches good mechanical skill and is good practice but plop somebody who only duals into TO and they won't be very good. Completely different skill set
Great vid man. earned my sub
Thank you!
ah the way of the craven men and lesser lords...
Running in like a mad man I see
@@Nuggz1 sometimes, I'm a noob at this point lol
Very good video Nuggz !!
Thanks man! I hope it helps a lot. More to come!
@@Nuggz1 it’s great ! Hey I’m watching your video as Argon right now. You remember last week when you got Argon in the most sweaty lobby ever ? I was mason. That must have been so stressful for you ahha
@Sir_Came_A_Lot Yeah I'm pretty sure I could not get the win last week. Yall were putting way too much pressure on me
I came here looking for a new strat but this is already what I do when my k/d is getting wack
I’m either doing this or charging in the middle of as many enemy as I can and just start swinging for the fences with my sledgehammer
That's good though, means you already know how to play smart when you want to and when to jump in like a mad man
@@Nuggz1
I can see why a lot of streamers don’t play this, it does take a different skill set
Awesome content man also new sub for you
Appreciate it, thank you !
One tip to new players: Stop rushing the combat situations and stop blitzing into the frontline alone.
Fun Fact: in Medieval Warfare, it was almost always far from a lot of depictions. It was far more strategic and even in moments of bloodshed, they were extremely technical and skilled warriors.
That's for sure, nobody just runs in like a maniac in real life.
@@Nuggz1 yea, it’s basic Warfare 101. Sure there were tons of casualties throughout all of the wars and battles but minimizing casualties was the most important factor.
Similar to the dagger playstyle but it’s easier to disengage.
For me its warhammer + shield, run in close, spam right trigger over and over, works incredibly well as everyone picks slow weapons
Don't worry I know the playstyle well one of my favorites. I will post one for it soon
Until one guy does a counter feint
@@rkit6707 you just adapt for them, most people have no idea what they're doing
Nice video!
yes but sometiems i feel like we get more done as a team if i just int myself into the backlines and sweep through a bunch of guys with one or two heavies before i die lol.
Sometimes that's the move
Great video man
Great video 🔥
Thanks man!
Can’t wait for other play styles explained
Probably going to do one at a time, I'm thinking either The Wall defensive guardian type playstyle or the berserker, aggressive axeman type playstyle
Is that the great sword and id yes is it better on knight or on the other class I forgot what it’s called
Depends on if you want more health or more stamina. Knight or Vanguard
what class and weapons are you using in this video?
This one is the officer knight and I am using the greatsword! This strategy will work with any weapon that has some reach though. Longsword would also be highly effective here
We call them low hanging fruit in the Angels!😂
I sometimes call them baby buffalo 🐃 the good players are the lions on the hunt
You should make a video about the other types of play styles
Will do!
I feel like I’m stealing my teammates’ kills. If a teammate isn’t doing well in a fight then I don’t mind jumping in.
Kill stealing isn't really a concept in this game. Every enemy is fair game to anyone on your team. This isn't call of duty. In this game 1 good player can actually take out your entire team if everyone just ignored them. You actually need to gang up on some players.
Same if I see a teammate isn’t bloody and the other guy is I’m not going to take that from him. Doesn’t always work out that way though.
To me, the problem is you made k/d ratio a thing in the video. Otherwise I agree. What should matter is thr objective because it secures the win.
@darrylhardin5139 Staying alive is just as important as the obj. Being alive means you are a road block for anybody. Running in and dieing in the name of playing obj is hurting your team 90 percent of the time.
Thank you!!!
>use 3rd person
>make 95% of your attacks backstabs
oh yeah. it's hardcore gaming time. 😎
Very helpful video
Thank you!
this is my playstyle as ambusher with a bit more emphasis on backstabs
Bro with lobbies now being full of skilled players this is the only feasible play style especially if going for VIPs
Note: place ladders whenever possible they give +250 points
Use classes with the horn ability to get a shit ton of extra points
Take down engineer structures they give decent points
Use try hard weapons like: dan axe, greatsword, longsword, etc.
Truth ^^
FIGHT SKILLED PLAYERS, guides can only give you information but cannot help outright with improving skills and tactics. Giving your all when you’re up against a skilled opponent will quickly show you the right and wrongs ways to fight while also showing that blocking is for life saving and counters are your bread n butter to surviving and dealing with multiple opponents and understanding the power of feinting.
LEARN HOW TO 1v1, IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE ONE PERSON YOU CANNOT BE AT MINIMUM AN EFFECTIVE TEAM MATE.
Correct! You do need to fight skilled players to get mechanically better at the game. But you need to use your eyes and ears to get better at positioning. This is mainly a positioning guide for the people who don't understand that running into a group of 5 enemies is bad.
@@Nuggz1 FACTS. 🙏🏾🔥
Nice guild!🎉
So.. I've been playing 300 hours and I just realized those stair parts actually can be use beside for throwing object 😂
Yeah and the ladder pieces give you a beefy 250 points. You place down all 6 and you might be able to climb the leaderboard with no kills at all.
I've actually never lifted a ladder before lol
i dont call this a playstyle, i call this common sense. :P
This is a great video
Thank you! Will be going over other ways to play soon!
Classes:
- Skirmisher
- Devastator with war club
- Raider + throwing dane axe
Is this good?
??????????????????????????????????
Skirmisher kinda stinks but you can make it work
Note: this strategy is A LOT easier to do as the attacking team than the defending team
Defense is easy if your team stays on obj the kills come to you. Don't even need to move around much.
@@Nuggz1 I meant because the objectives will move behind your position and enemies will start spawning closer to you if you hold your ground, and running forward is a lot quicker than running backward so it’s easy to get overrun if you’re not quick to retreat.
@samuelking4723 it's easier to retreat on attack for sure. On defense you need to be more aware of when all your team mates have died but on attack you just need to be aware of how many team mates you are pushing in with or the same thing will happen
So you’re using the “Tarkov rat” playstyle essentially?
Never played tarkov but if that means ganking then yes. It's the best way to get high kills. No honor in team obj. It's gank or get ganked.
I cant stand when my teammates have one of the top guys of the other team surrounded and he keeps countering them because the damn morons keep spamming slash, instead of using special attack or kick
In those situations I just walk away lol. Not going to let my own team mates get me killed when I can help it
It is brain over balls. Most people don't realize they can do much more by simply staying out of the meat grinder.
Most players never realize this. Players like Stridah or EvilEasterBunny will never step foot on an objective but will go 90 - 0 and people praise them as amazing players.
Every game is like this, you have people that kill and you have the support objective players. Like we all know engineers wont top kills mostly but they are pretty much vital and very impactful. The scoreboard doesn't give them credit.
your are leaving out that both me and EEB can fight and 1vx at a high level which makes it even more difficult@@Nuggz1
@StridahsAngels True, you can't just get an 80 and 0 game just by picking people off. Eventually you take a step too far and have to survive the 1VX. You and EEB are good at escaping from those bad situations. Hmmm maybe a good video idea 💡
"pick your fights wisely" just call it what it is, nobody is blind to the fact its just kill stealing the entire match
It's a team game. One man's, you just stole my kill is another man's you just saved my life.
Roaming Slayer aka Lazy Scavenger
Truth
@@Nuggz1 Lol I'm maybe a bit salty as a Man at Arms always getting blindsided by them but I do find it a bit unchallenging to play that style. Think they made the great weapons classes a bit OP. Would like them to revise some stuff for Chivalry III, if it ever gets made. 😅 Cheers!
@user-mg4cc9sy7p agreed its a lazy way to play but effective. I get really bored with it at this point so I use more of a flanking style usually. But it's a good style to learn if you want to try going for deathless games.
Love this game BUT they changed it for sure. Registration is bs, and connectivity has been bs. Even cod runs better now. Ill be fighting and my guy will swing to an open body but will act like nothing happened. Then they swing and break though my block 1st try. Or i could be hitting someone over and over again without them blocking and they'll be unaffected with it registering. To then swing ince and kill me. Idk if theres something im missing but its the only game that really doesnt seem balanced now. Can make you livid when you know you shouldnt have died in a 3v3 lol
I've been noticing some intense lag. I have 0 ping and people are teleporting and animations aren't playing. So you definitely aren't crazy
Thx!
Nice vid. Next do combat explained for a five year old lmao. I watched some tutorials as im new to the game and man, do they go too far.
Coming soon !
My play style is winning as many 1 v x's as possible. Why? Because it's fun, and I rarely don't get VIP.
It is a blast to down some beer after work and jump into the mosh pit! Some people get frustrated with this though because they think it's the only way to play and die over and over until they Uninstall the game
@Nuggz1 that's very true. There are many ways to play, what works for me may not work for others. The important part is to have fun first and find what works for you.
I tend to play like everyone is an equal so i try never run into groups of people lol
@@Christian-tw3sp I wish I played like that, I would probably die way less. But the rush of winning a 1 v 5 is too addictive. Although I will say I play like that in duels. I assume everyone can kick my butt.
@@Jc-lh4mr haha, pick up a spear bro and run around with your team and 2x1 people it's equally as fun
So what he’s saying is play like an Ambusher is supposed to play
A little bit but ambusher is more just like backstabbing people or throwing knives but it's just good decision making and supporting your team instead of running into big groups and dieing all the time.
@@Nuggz1 yea this is how I started playing about 6 months ago
Basically become a goblin and steal kills from time to time, would feel sorry if it wasn’t for the toxic players that plague this game lol.
The community for this game is disgusting
@@tylerb2644 unfortunately this is what happens when the game becomes left to stagnant. I’ve seen it happen in battlefront 2. You get both sides of the spectrum.
Lots of the players get stuck fighting high level players who then improve further off each other further increasing the skill ceiling, which can be both good and bad. It leads to more competitive players and so on and so forth until people are overly competitive.
What's the point of getting kills if that doesn't improve your fighting skill at all? You're not gonna learn to fight but stabbing people in their back, seems like a waste. Recently started playing and seems like the custom servers with FFA duels only is the best thing this game has to offer imho
There are many fighting skills, many of my videos have a focus on positioning tactics because being able to make good decisions is the most sure way to get high scores. Anybody can train mechanical skills in a dual server.
While I do understand that there is no best way to play in Chivalry 2 this is NOT it. While this is the easiest way for getting kills it basically amounts to kill stealing and scavenging. For archers and ambushers this is a necessary playstyle however, most people may not find this rewarding as a player taking part of team events as you want to win as a team.
My questions are these: "What is the point of being the greatest loser, when you can be the weakest winner?" Furthermore, the name of the game is "Chivalry" 2 not killsteal 2. Where is the Honor and Chivalry that one expects from their teammates?
This not an attack on the youtuber of course as he did mention that this is the easiest method and he did show it. Futhermore, this method actually helps your team in things like Team Deathmatches/Last team standing etc.
Also apologies for the rant.
The only benefit to kill stealing in this game is to end fights. When you see a guy struggling to get a kill and you end that fight it let's your team move on to the objective. Taking this playstyle to the extreme, usually means you have over 100 kills but your team still loses the game.
@Nuggz1 It isn't kill stealing if your teammate is about to die that is just defending them. Yes in extremity it does cause your team to lose. Thank you for the video though. It will help newer players get used to the chaos. Hopefully it doesn't become a habit. Also thanks for the reply.
He is playing this as an officer?
Yes
You don't have to use this shameless kill stealing tactic to top the scoreboard just saying. You will never get better that way. And there are plenty of other weapons that are great for TO if not better than the greatsword. I see this video is more catered towards people who suck ass at the game so that's fair. But if you're new to the game take this advice as a grain of salt.
Correct this guide is catered to people who are struggling. People get frustrated running into a group of enemies for 500 hours waiting for the skill to come. Good positioning is key to TO. And this can be used with any weapon not just GS
Stop mashing slash is the answer
Roaming slayer = cheaping
Go watch stridah angels they know how to fight
Stridah plays this way 😬
Roaming Slayer? More like scavenger or blue falcon. I get picking your battles but you don't battle- just steal killing blows from teammates while you avoid the objectives. Real pro. 😂
It's a playstyle, not my playstyle. A good player knows that playstyles need to change based on the situation at hand. This playstyle won't win games but it will help you to stop dieing and will help to learn positioning.
Gank everyone😂
Bingo - sun szu once said "It is better to be the ganker or risk getting ganked yourself"
So basically kill stealing rat playstyle
Please put it in Turkish subtitles in your videos.🙏🏻
Bro 😂😂😂😂u can't expect ur watchet or goon get better if ur telling them to cheap shoot ppl ,bro don't teach player how to be trash
This is how quite literally how most of those guys you see going 70 and 0 get most of their kills. Of course mechanical skill plays into that as well but if you don't have the mechanical skills yet you can still do much better by observing your surroundings and playing smart.
Playing like this does get alot of kills but it makes the game get boring really fast @@Nuggz1
@@spencersecrest6001 agreed
So basically play like a coward :P
Yes exactly, that's the easy way. If you want to learn how to get high kills like a Chad you need to get good at the game first.
@@Nuggz1 why not 'get good' but running into the 1v3s, and being a chad?
