what an insanely good video. probably the only one that new players need. if you actually implement all of this in your gameplay you will be far better then 99% of other players! deffo will bookmark this one to recommend to others!
i started playing naraka 3 weeks ago and i looked at a lot of guides to get good. this guide is the most informative and helpful one i have seen yet and i'm only 1/5 in. thank u
This is the best guide I have seen since starting Naraka,a month ago.tyvm for doing this chef,takes a great person to do something this for the benefit of others.😊
This is so helpful and great to see as there’s not too many guides for Naraka: Bladepoint. I really like how you break things down in the video too to understand easier. Hope to see more :-) Naraka deserves more love with videos like this.
So much very helpful information, had a friend somewhat recently show me a lot of this. All of the info really help me improve, just need to work on my neutral now. Amazing video as always! Keep Cooking!
W Video thanks man seriously. Chill to the point and very informative. Nice to see a longer form video that doesnt feel like drag and ill be using as my guide for the future of this game.
honestly this is the kind of tutorial i badly need as a new player, rather than other videos which only showcasing their skills. can't thank you enough chef! keep up the good content!
Very good and needed guide since Naraka has been on a consistent/steady growing spurt since they announced free to play. Hopefully guides like these will allow it to keep growing in the future.
Appreciate your videos bro u really help out and ur voice is not annoying 😂 I can enjoy them 💯💯 Ps would u ever do a video reacting to gameplay and pointing out the mistakes and the techniques?
Glad you enjoyed! Don’t worry if you can’t grasp some of the stuff in this guide right away, it’s meant for people that have a couple hours in the game already, so maybe come back and watch it again after that!
I remember when Naraka become Free to play (Was a total noob). I thought its just like a simple Battle Royale where you just loot and beat enemies with your weapon. Then, I digged deeper about the game, and holy moly, I do not expect that there's more than just a Battle royale game. The movement techs is the reason why Im hooked to this game. Even the Sky-high quest surprised me like how tf do I beat it within 20 sec. Aside, its really a helpful guide after i haven't play a game for 2 months. Keep up
My friend from my old uni days has been bugging me RELENTLESSLY for over a year to get a PS5 JUST so I could get this game. Yesterday I finally caved AND I got DS Edge controller to help out with this game. Thank you for this tutorial chef! I'm lost AF in this game, it's definitely PC-friendly so I'm gonna need all the help I can get! I'm thankful that this is the very first beginner's guide I've come across! Thanks Chef!
You got yourself an easy sub from this, that was so in depth and has so much to learn. This video is about to get a few hundred rewatches as I learn. Definitely gonna use it to beat that lobby speed run challenge in less than 20 secs
@@ChefOfTheDead Im impressed after learning some of this how effortlessly you do it after playing as much as you have, Inhave about a 33% chance to pull off the double dash after the wall attack, its so tight but you do it no problem. I also can’t figure out the other thing you did to attack in the air after to change direction easier, it seems to kill my momentum for some reason, but I’ll figure it out soon lol
It certainly wasn’t always like that for me haha. Simply trial and error. Make sure you’re hold dodging rather than tap dodging with your air movement and it should work well
I've been wanting to play this game since I found out about it in 2021. Now that it's free on Ps5, I hopped in the tutorial and checked out the heroes, weapons, and beautiful cosmetics. Then I thought I'd what I'd be getting myself into, so I watched this. And i really appreciate this video! It wasn't flooded with too much knowledge, just the essentials and a gameplan blueprint for new players. Im not a great gamer by any means, but games like this with high skill ceiling of movement tech, combos, and game knowledge to learn and use are my exact type of game! I can't wait to implement these into my gameplay (and possibly dump alot of money into the game)
Thanks a lot , just started Naraka since I got tired of Apex legends , CoD and For Honor ... damn this game is a hidden gem, i really enjoy it Figured out most of the movement myself and some easy combos, baiting similar to For Honor but a lot faster, its crazy good this game, i just hope i dont get stuck at the skill ceiling and get obliterated constantly by veterans, as the skill ceiling for this game is somewhere beyond Andromeda galaxy ... what a fine piece of gameplay, GG !
Thanks for this super useful and straightforward video Chef! Even after playing for a long while I've still learned quite a few great tips from this that I'd like to rework into my playstyle. The double dash is definitely a must-learn for me lol!
Just started two days ago and this helps a lot i was always losing neutrals and always getting counter with my focus but i think i get it now thanks a lot
The aesthetic of this game is absolutely beautiful but sadly i suck at this game.. hope that i can adapt more using this very useful vid of yours my guy.. this is truly amazinnggg id go back to naraka because of this viiiiidddd fiiireeee 🔥🔥🔥
The half charge help me a lot, of course having to master the hold checking is a must. But without that single detail (half charge), it will be a waste. Thanks!
hah just finished watching the "combat: neutral" part of the video and it feels like i gotta study the game in order to reach good skill xD i played naraka so much on launch and didnt realise (until now) that it has such a depth in its combat xd
I am a cs/valo players and boy oh boy I am trying to play this game. I have gotten like 4-5 victories and have gotten a lot of kills but my play style revolves mostly around the characters F ability and after that being successful how I combo my attacks and then dodge/parry their attack. After watching this video I finally understand how some players just ran through me with ez(they didn't even allow me to dodge/ do anything). Idek if I can master soo many fundamentals of this game since I was a cs/val player because in cs/val there's not a lot of vertical mouse movement at all and are very rare. for this game you need a ton of vertical movement, combos, releasing the keys at proper timing and soo much more movement. THANKS FOR THE AMAZING GUIDE THO GAVE ME AN IDEA OF HOW THE GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED!
its like some idea where from the single player Nioh 2, it attracted me the same way even nothing is the same gameplay wise. however i wish they made Nioh a 1vs 1 fighting game too, something like this is close to my dream. xD ty for the vid.
Im coming from nioh 2 ng++++ underworld too! A friend just egged me on for months since im a fighting game player. Im enjoying it so far but im not sure yet if i see skill expression or i just pick broken characters or smth😅
5:50 you didn't need to do this.. the editing was crazy good fora guide video omg also, how do change weapons so fast? mine takes like 2 seconds after i press 1 or 2
Haha I had to take the opportunity. Thanks! Do you mean changing weapons while you’re just standing still? If so it really should be instant if you’re just tapping one or two. I do use the scroll wheel to swap though. But if you’re swapping after doing an action like an attack, you need to animation cancel with a crouch or something to swap quickly
Im getting better but i have only been playing for a week but i been really hard on myself for some reason the main thing im struggling with is combo extenders
Is it normal, that the first games are only against bots, or is the playerbase just that big, that your only matched with beginners for the first levels?
I've just heard of this game on ps+, and am thinking of playing it, it seems, by the comments thos is the best video for help, but as I've not played it, I have NO idea what most of this means.. so, I'll be back 🤣
Check back in once you’ve played the tutorial and a couple marches! It’ll all make a lot more sense. Also the game is just free, you don’t need ps+ or anything
Hi, I just started playing the game, and right now, I’m not too concerned about combat combos or movement-that’s something I'll focus on later. I’m mostly trying to figure out how the game works, but I’m a bit confused about the weapons. Do characters have their own unique weapon systems, or can they all use any weapon? If every character can use the same weapons, what sets them apart? Is it just the F-button skill and ultimate that differ? Is there a leveling system for each character, and if so, what does leveling do? Does it let you equip better weapons? Do you start with a weapon, or do you need to find them in-game? When you find a weapon, is it random, or are you only able to pick up weapons tied to your character? Your guide doesn’t seem to address this, and I’ve been searching everywhere, including UA-cam, to get some clarity. It would really help me choose which of the five free characters to invest in. Also, are skill trees linked to weapons or characters? Lastly, is it better to use a keyboard or controller? I'm playing on PC.
As I say in the beginning of the video, the guide is meant to help beginners graduate to the intermediate or advanced stages, not to help people who have never played before become beginners. I highly recommend simply downloading the game and playing through the tutorials, and that will give you a decent amount of basic knowledge to better understand this more complex guide. With that said, I do have videos that explain the very most basic fundamentals and game functions, which you can find here: “The FIRST Naraka Bladepoint Guide You Should Watch” ua-cam.com/video/8ba9rnpK_DQ/v-deo.htmlsi=0nF6odtuXake0lGf
I'm so lost. And I just found out that I'm starting LITERALLY around the time Xbox 1 support is being discontinued, so I'm hoping it's easier to learn on a weak PC...
@@ChefOfTheDead just to be absolutely clear, it is a skill issue that I can't do the 14:35 one? I tried so many times and i didn't even do it once even though the animations look exactly the same as in the video
But how does the stagger effect work? Why is it dangerous to mess up a parry? Does a successful parry trigger a stun? What about in the combo state? Can you not dodge out of it if ure on the recieving end or must u have a combo breaker? I wished u had explained that at the very beginning. Been playing Lost ark pvp quite a while and that is also a game where status effects is super important to understand before trying to explain the pvp system
The guide is intended for players with an understanding of basic mechanics explained by the in game tutorials, not necessarily for players who haven’t played whatsoever. I recommend playing through the tutorials and you will then understand these basics and get much more out of the guide. Although, I do answer most of this within the video anyways.
@@ChefOfTheDead Ah okey. Must have missed the part about the parry thing. Was wondering about picking this game up hoping the pvp would be much like Lost ark. So I was missing basic knowledge completely and found ur video difficult to grasp entirely ^^
Thank you for this guide it’s very helpful! If i want to attack cancel for movement with the fan, should I use horizontal or vertical? When I try to use horizontal it just keeps doing the wind gust attack after the dodge
Yeah you have to delay that horizontal slightly if you want to avoid the wind blast, but since it’s sort of easy to mess up you can just go with vertical and be safe
Question: is is feasible to try and punish an attack just by being out of range? Or jumping over it? Like in normal fighting games? Or do most attack just auto track auto advance and hit you in the air too?
Certain attacks and abilities can be spaced with jumping, but jumps have no I-frames so you can’t use it like a dodge. Spacing can absolutely work for punishing whiffs though
Thank you for the video but as a new player I am SO lost! How do I "hold dodge"? I think I never did a hold dodge before and when I try it (SHIFT + WASD) it just does not work.
A hold dodge is done by holding down the dodge button briefly, as opposed to tapping it. I recommend you watch my “the first naraka blade point guide you should watch” video first
@@ChefOfTheDead Thank you about the video recommendation, I watched it some times over and over and I am starting to improve. Sadly I still have some scenarios where I try to go in for the kill and then getting my ass whooped (instead of healing myself) and I also sadly still have scenarios where the opponent just attacks me to death, even when I try to dodge but I think those are the things that I will learn by playing sooner or later.
got a question about scale rush. sometimes when i scale rush my character can't dodge it become like when you at plummed castle and jumped from the air crack it got the same animation where your character just floating and can't do any dodge do you know how to counter that?
@@ChefOfTheDead ahh that's why still trying to do it perfectly tho it just kinda weird because sometimes it do that sometimes not even when i didn't press anything
It’s a specific swap combo tech, I’ll be doing a guide on it soon but here’s a video that mostly explains it in the meantime ua-cam.com/video/ifI7AuFNI2s/v-deo.htmlsi=-760bRsEVHsmGmfm
I wish what those random letters meant in the combo section. That part of the video ment nothing to me since I don't know any of that our how to do a launcher
So what do you do when your opponent's white attack cuts through your white attack? Or their blue attack cuts through your blue attack? Or you parry a charge attack and your opponent's attack connects anyway? From my understanding this should be impossible given the game's combat rules. Yet it happens to me constantly whenever facing human players. It never happens when I face bots. Only humans.
I don’t really know what you’re talking about honestly, but obviously if you’re releasing attacks at the same time as your opponent then they would clank. If that isn’t happening then it would be because of some weird desync or lag
@ChefOfTheDead Then it must be my connection or something because it only happens in PVP. In bot mode, white attacks will clank with each other like they are supposed to. But in PVP, my opponents always cut through my white attacks with their own white attacks. If they charge, I'll counter right at release, and it just cuts through my counter anyway. It is beyond infuriating. Guess I'll just stick to bot mode.
I would practice your timing in custom games rather than bot mode. Timings for players are slightly different than against bots, since bots function at 0 ping
naraka is also a game that requires high FPS, so a good PC would actually benefit in game placement (an advise from a player that learns from china tiktok)
i've been trying to hit the basic longsword, katana and heng sword combos for 3 days now but i keep missing the final focus vertical because the bot just dodges out of the way. I'm trying to release the focus attack at the fastest possible timing but i can't tell if I'm stupid and overholding it or if I screwed up the grapple bump or if im supposed to overhold it and let them dodge then release to wherever they dodge.
naraka is also a game that requires high FPS, for that combo a FPS of at least 70+ is required. Moreover try to grapple once your uppercut starts, which means dont wait for the animation to end
naraka is also a game that requires high FPS, for that combo a FPS of at least 70+ is required. Moreover try to grapple once your uppercut starts, which means dont wait for the animation to end (an advise from a player that learns from china tiktok)
That’s called an inventory swap, where you hold your primary weapon input (1 on pc), scroll up to the weapon mid uppercut, and release 1. I’ll be making a video explaining how to do them pretty soon!
Hey I'm a bit confused on "holding left or right to cancel the grapple roll" I hold right and my character rolls every time. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? should I be holding right after the grapple animation or before?
The moment that your body impacts the player during the grapple bump is the essential time to be holding it. I recommend in the video that you can start holding right or left as soon as when you fire the grapple. Just make sure you hold it all the way until you’re grapple bump has hit and you’re already charging the focus attack
what is the point of having horizontal and vertical attacks? if I do a simple 123, for example, is there any real difference between using lmb and rmb to do it? when does it make a difference?
If you’re doing a simple 123 combo then no, not a big difference. As far as more advanced combo chains and juggles though, making use of both is essential. When I’m going over the combos section of this video it should explain when it makes a difference pretty well
@@ChefOfTheDeadalright, thanks! I got another question, why would you do H-HD-H as a beginning of many combos instead of just doing a 1,2? is there a point in doing two initial horizontal attacks in a row instead if just continuing the combo normally before uppercutting?
Only a “starter” attack will allow you to chain into an uppercut, and as mentioned in the video, only H or only V will work depending on the weapon. So that’s it, only the first attack in a chain will true combo into an uppercut, and dodging resets the chain, as opposed to directly flowing into the other attack
Hiya, for some reason I don't seem to have the Matchmaking Settings in my Settings menu... so the Replenish Bots option is not even available... anyone knows why that is?
idk how i cant get the grapple combo to work with dual blades how does he like float longer for you, the guy drops so fast for me, and i roll out of the grapple
The bot doesn’t float any longer for me, it’s just about timing and input speed for the focus attack to be able to land. I explain in the video how to avoid the roll, you have to hold your movement input to the side. Try firing your grapple earlier and holding vertical attack immediately after.
@@DjKnightSky23 just watch over the combos and try to match the timing, if your grapple isn’t cutting off the uppercut as early as mine is, you aren’t inputting the grapple early enough. You can queue the input somewhat, so try shooting your grapple what feels like excessively early
All the games ive been in are full of bots. Literally not a single real person. I turned off bots on settings and niw i cant even get on a match. Is this game dead or smth?
@@ChefOfTheDead Good to know thanks, also how do you move backwards and forwards in the same dodge frame ? my character simply does not do that XD Ty in advance
@@dragonofdesteny5767 the “forward” movement after a backwards dodge is simply from the attack. A hold dodge has very little recovery time and lets you immediately flow into an attack, which tracks the opponent in front of you
My FPS drops heavily sometimes I dont know if its because my pc cant bear the Game, I have FPS settings at 75 and shadows and stuffs at low but stills It freezes much, do you know why?
If you have everything set to the very lowest graphical settings besides post processing, you should be good with no big frame drops. However when it comes to hardware, you should really have the game downloaded on ssd instead of hdd
The tutorial that you’re put into when you boot up the game talks about the UI… there’s nothing to explain really. What do you even mean by profile ranks points?
These long form videos are super rare, but they're the most helpful for new players imo. Thank you for the effort 💕💕💕
Of course! Yeah I can see why since this took me forever
what an insanely good video. probably the only one that new players need. if you actually implement all of this in your gameplay you will be far better then 99% of other players! deffo will bookmark this one to recommend to others!

Well it’s a guide for beginners, that want to become advanced, so it’s kinda both
Like if you get down everything in this guide, you’ll no longer be a beginner
Thanks man
Apparently Naraka is coming to mobile is starts its beta test in April. Can’t wait to try on mobile
It is indeed!
Thx. Saved me time. Now i know i wont play this game as it was anyways only for bypassing time until MH:W Releases
Im getting better but i have only been playing for a week but i been really hard on myself for some reason the main thing im struggling with is combo extenders

“The FIRST Naraka Bladepoint Guide You Should Watch”
ua-cam.com/video/8ba9rnpK_DQ/v-deo.htmlsi=0nF6odtuXake0lGf
As far as the keyboard or controller thing, I prefer keyboard, but if you’re much more used to controller, that’s fine too
Is there a button for instantly shooting your ranged weapon without switching from melee? teheee
Without switching from melee, no. You can shoot almost instantly after switching if you animation cancel with a crouch or jump though
im having a really hard time getting these grapple combos off on the bot. is it skill issue or did it get patched or something?
I'm so lost. And I just found out that I'm starting LITERALLY around the time Xbox 1 support is being discontinued, so I'm hoping it's easier to learn on a weak PC...
did they change the longsword grapple combo? it seems like its impossible to do it now. Im a returning player so i dont know what the new updates are
Do you mean the infinite? The infinite isn’t possible but all the combos in this video absolutely are still possible yeah
@@ChefOfTheDead just to be absolutely clear, it is a skill issue that I can't do the 14:35 one? I tried so many times and i didn't even do it once even though the animations look exactly the same as in the video
@@stawkey9186 yes, all the basic grapple combos still work
So by playing trrough steam I cant see Matchmaking settings?
Not for the replenish setting, no
in the 18:59 combo, I cant hold dodge after CV, can someone explain it to me?
The most common mistake with that combo is hold dodging too early, try to delay it longer
@@ChefOfTheDead tysm
I dont have the matchmaking settings ? did they removed it ?
it was an honor to have been killed by you in solos :')
When I play Naraka, it feels like I am playing Grand Chase in 3D, it has similar principles when fighting
Hopefully that’s a good thing!
But how does the stagger effect work? Why is it dangerous to mess up a parry? Does a successful parry trigger a stun? What about in the combo state? Can you not dodge out of it if ure on the recieving end or must u have a combo breaker? I wished u had explained that at the very beginning. Been playing Lost ark pvp quite a while and that is also a game where status effects is super important to understand before trying to explain the pvp system
The guide is intended for players with an understanding of basic mechanics explained by the in game tutorials, not necessarily for players who haven’t played whatsoever. I recommend playing through the tutorials and you will then understand these basics and get much more out of the guide. Although, I do answer most of this within the video anyways.
@@ChefOfTheDead Ah okey. Must have missed the part about the parry thing. Was wondering about picking this game up hoping the pvp would be much like Lost ark. So I was missing basic knowledge completely and found ur video difficult to grasp entirely ^^
first
Ah great, I started playing around 2 weeks ago
Keep it up!
Thank you for this guide it’s very helpful! If i want to attack cancel for movement with the fan, should I use horizontal or vertical? When I try to use horizontal it just keeps doing the wind gust attack after the dodge
Yeah you have to delay that horizontal slightly if you want to avoid the wind blast, but since it’s sort of easy to mess up you can just go with vertical and be safe
@@ChefOfTheDead okay good to know, ty!
Question: is is feasible to try and punish an attack just by being out of range? Or jumping over it?
Like in normal fighting games? Or do most attack just auto track auto advance and hit you in the air too?
Certain attacks and abilities can be spaced with jumping, but jumps have no I-frames so you can’t use it like a dodge. Spacing can absolutely work for punishing whiffs though
Thank you for the video but as a new player I am SO lost!
How do I "hold dodge"?
I think I never did a hold dodge before and when I try it (SHIFT + WASD) it just does not work.
A hold dodge is done by holding down the dodge button briefly, as opposed to tapping it. I recommend you watch my “the first naraka blade point guide you should watch” video first
@@ChefOfTheDead Thank you about the video recommendation, I watched it some times over and over and I am starting to improve.
Sadly I still have some scenarios where I try to go in for the kill and then getting my ass whooped (instead of healing myself) and I also sadly still have scenarios where the opponent just attacks me to death, even when I try to dodge but I think those are the things that I will learn by playing sooner or later.
why is auto face scan for players disabled i want to scan my face and i can't anymore
hello why i cant find the replenish bots when matchmaking times out are they change it already?
me and my friend downloaded this as a joke but were actually enjoying it so much. only annoying this is the fact 80% of players are bots
Definitely do ranked as opposed to quick match and once you rank up a bit you’ll be seeing more like 80% players instead. Glad you’re enjoying!
@@ChefOfTheDead yeee for sure gotta get to level 50 first and its diff to persuade him but we'll get there hahah
got a question about scale rush.
sometimes when i scale rush my character can't dodge it become like when you at plummed castle and jumped from the air crack
it got the same animation where your character just floating and can't do any dodge do you know how to counter that?
It’s simply timing, dodge too early or too late and it won’t register. The timing is slightly different for each weapon
@@ChefOfTheDead ahh that's why still trying to do it perfectly tho it just kinda weird because sometimes it do that sometimes not even when i didn't press anything
@@ChefOfTheDead btw how you do the LS>Fan combo or the LS>DB combo when i try it just become jump vertical attack not charge attack
It’s a specific swap combo tech, I’ll be doing a guide on it soon but here’s a video that mostly explains it in the meantime ua-cam.com/video/ifI7AuFNI2s/v-deo.htmlsi=-760bRsEVHsmGmfm
I wish what those random letters meant in the combo section. That part of the video ment nothing to me since I don't know any of that our how to do a launcher
I explicitly show what they mean on screen
So what do you do when your opponent's white attack cuts through your white attack? Or their blue attack cuts through your blue attack? Or you parry a charge attack and your opponent's attack connects anyway? From my understanding this should be impossible given the game's combat rules. Yet it happens to me constantly whenever facing human players. It never happens when I face bots. Only humans.
I don’t really know what you’re talking about honestly, but obviously if you’re releasing attacks at the same time as your opponent then they would clank. If that isn’t happening then it would be because of some weird desync or lag
@ChefOfTheDead Then it must be my connection or something because it only happens in PVP. In bot mode, white attacks will clank with each other like they are supposed to. But in PVP, my opponents always cut through my white attacks with their own white attacks. If they charge, I'll counter right at release, and it just cuts through my counter anyway. It is beyond infuriating. Guess I'll just stick to bot mode.
I would practice your timing in custom games rather than bot mode. Timings for players are slightly different than against bots, since bots function at 0 ping
naraka is also a game that requires high FPS, so a good PC would actually benefit in game placement
(an advise from a player that learns from china tiktok)
i've been trying to hit the basic longsword, katana and heng sword combos for 3 days now but i keep missing the final focus vertical because the bot just dodges out of the way. I'm trying to release the focus attack at the fastest possible timing but i can't tell if I'm stupid and overholding it or if I screwed up the grapple bump or if im supposed to overhold it and let them dodge then release to wherever they dodge.
If the bot is only barely able to dodge it, I wouldn’t worry about it too much, since a real player is not able to dodge as early as a bot
naraka is also a game that requires high FPS, for that combo a FPS of at least 70+ is required.
Moreover try to grapple once your uppercut starts, which means dont wait for the animation to end
When i hit the grapple he's already almost on the ground and i can't hit it earlier, did something change?
Nothing changed, no. Make sure your timing looks exactly like mine, it can’t be slower or it won’t work

how to back slide and attack like recovery
question, around 3:30, how the hell did you open your weapon bag and swap the longsword for a fan??????
That’s called an inventory swap, where you hold your primary weapon input (1 on pc), scroll up to the weapon mid uppercut, and release 1. I’ll be making a video explaining how to do them pretty soon!
oh, ty very much@@ChefOfTheDead
Hey I'm a bit confused on "holding left or right to cancel the grapple roll" I hold right and my character rolls every time. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? should I be holding right after the grapple animation or before?
The moment that your body impacts the player during the grapple bump is the essential time to be holding it. I recommend in the video that you can start holding right or left as soon as when you fire the grapple. Just make sure you hold it all the way until you’re grapple bump has hit and you’re already charging the focus attack
Pls how do I download it on my pc
Steam?
what is the point of having horizontal and vertical attacks? if I do a simple 123, for example, is there any real difference between using lmb and rmb to do it? when does it make a difference?
If you’re doing a simple 123 combo then no, not a big difference. As far as more advanced combo chains and juggles though, making use of both is essential. When I’m going over the combos section of this video it should explain when it makes a difference pretty well
@@ChefOfTheDeadalright, thanks! I got another question, why would you do H-HD-H as a beginning of many combos instead of just doing a 1,2? is there a point in doing two initial horizontal attacks in a row instead if just continuing the combo normally before uppercutting?
Only a “starter” attack will allow you to chain into an uppercut, and as mentioned in the video, only H or only V will work depending on the weapon. So that’s it, only the first attack in a chain will true combo into an uppercut, and dodging resets the chain, as opposed to directly flowing into the other attack
@@ChefOfTheDead I see, thanks for explaining!
Hiya, for some reason I don't seem to have the Matchmaking Settings in my Settings menu... so the Replenish Bots option is not even available... anyone knows why that is?
I mentioned that it’s only there if you’re on console or the pc xbox app
@ChefOfTheDead oooh I missed that part, thank you 😊
idk how i cant get the grapple combo to work with dual blades how does he like float longer for you, the guy drops so fast for me, and i roll out of the grapple
The bot doesn’t float any longer for me, it’s just about timing and input speed for the focus attack to be able to land. I explain in the video how to avoid the roll, you have to hold your movement input to the side. Try firing your grapple earlier and holding vertical attack immediately after.
@@ChefOfTheDead ty for fast response im damn near raging idk how my input could be any faster fr im on keyboard and mouse
@@DjKnightSky23 just watch over the combos and try to match the timing, if your grapple isn’t cutting off the uppercut as early as mine is, you aren’t inputting the grapple early enough. You can queue the input somewhat, so try shooting your grapple what feels like excessively early
For some reason i have delay in changing weapons 1 and 2 and that change you do with the bow is not possible for me
You have to animation cancel with a dodge, crouch, or jump, notice how I mentioned the dodge in the video
All the games ive been in are full of bots. Literally not a single real person. I turned off bots on settings and niw i cant even get on a match. Is this game dead or smth?
Guys, tell me the bloody sport mode is an event mode, if not, under what conditions does it open?
Currently not opening at any time. The only way to play it is in a custom match.
what exactly does "hold dodge" mean ? just press dodge and dont release without direction ? so far you didnt mention that
Hold dodge just means holding it briefly rather than tapping it. You can test it out pretty easily in free training to get a feel for the timing
@@ChefOfTheDead Good to know thanks, also how do you move backwards and forwards in the same dodge frame ? my character simply does not do that XD
Ty in advance
@@dragonofdesteny5767 the “forward” movement after a backwards dodge is simply from the attack. A hold dodge has very little recovery time and lets you immediately flow into an attack, which tracks the opponent in front of you
@@ChefOfTheDead ah that makes sense, ill try that out
the turning off bots arent there anymore
You must be on steam
Do I need teamates to play this? I mean am I gonna be facing premade duos or something?
It plays like any other BR. Coordinated teams will usually do better than random queue teams, but you can always just play solos too.
My FPS drops heavily sometimes I dont know if its because my pc cant bear the Game, I have FPS settings at 75 and shadows and stuffs at low but stills It freezes much, do you know why?
If you have everything set to the very lowest graphical settings besides post processing, you should be good with no big frame drops. However when it comes to hardware, you should really have the game downloaded on ssd instead of hdd
@@ChefOfTheDead what is that, you mean on C disc and D disc stuff?
@@RAVEN-iz2xd yeah sort of, the game runs far better on a solid state drive (SSD) than a hard drive (HDD)
@@ChefOfTheDead thank you, I fixed It
i dont have the turn off the bots just starting the game is that normal ?
I mentioned that if you’re on steam you won’t see it
@@ChefOfTheDead ohh my bad ty
Yet nothing about the UI and player profile ranks points. Nice.
The tutorial that you’re put into when you boot up the game talks about the UI… there’s nothing to explain really. What do you even mean by profile ranks points?
