This video is so well edited that anyone watching this who never touched this game would want to play chivalry to understand more. Excellent job mr Dave!
@@Tttt-740 I mean despite all of torn banner flaws and bad decisions, after all chivalry is a well polished product and a fun game. It's the only game where I still have tons of fun even if I am losing or dying
@@mateusb09 it's not a very good game though. It has countless problems. I do have fun playing it and I was just making a funny but Chivalry is nowhere near a good game
I’d actually argue that the Guardian is very useful on Offense, not only since the large shield can help you move forward and not get pinned down by archers in a vantage point + cover your teammates while they carry petards, but also because the banner is a great way to help sustain a team’s momentum where there’s going to be a constant frontline like the bridges on Falmire or Lionspire.
Banner can act as a rally point for allies. Players see a banner and are attracted to the healing benefit so they are more likely to come to a designated area you placed the banner in. This is best done on the front lines where the fighting is so the push comes from attracting reinforcements by placing and defending a banner in the spot you want to push forward. Put a banner on the Falmire or Lionspire bridge and watch your guys gather to that spot and push together with the boosted numbers.
Coordination isn't that much of an issue in a competitive match. In pubs, you might need to trick your teammates into working with you, but in an actual match it's different. All my ratings, tier lists, and such are based on competitive gameplay.@@ythandlename
Hey, I remember you from quite a while back always in duel servers, hosting tournaments or organizing them, its so nice to see how you created a channel and how you grew from then
The banner is amazing, probably the best ability in the game if used right. I've gotten around 800+ healing on objectives like the Galencourt ships before. I've been using this class a lot lately (At least before the new crossbow dropped, I really like it), and honestly it is super fun.
My favorite part of the new update is the access to other size shields. Ive been using a medium on gaurdian and small on footman and im digging that extra bump of speed
I remember once my sword arm got chopped off, but I still had my shield, so I went around helping teammates stuck in 1v1s until I inevitably got killed. It was pretty cool, and I actually managed to land a proper kill on someone instead of just a takedown.
As a guardian spear main, I piss off SO many people. I'd say I'm very good with 1vXing and it all boils down to footwork with the spear. 2 people coming straight at you from the sides angling in towards you? Turn to the side then dodge opposite of their advance to split the middle of them then wreck shop. In their eyes, you just disappeared off the face of the earth for a second lol. Spear is super fun to play too.
Haha yeah it makes a lot of people maddd and for sure, footwork is really important with spear or you do get fucked up quick from the sides @@LiGhTfOoT_
100% fair, it feels more like you're in the middle of a battle. I just suck in first person so much I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing on a secret to it lol @@SoterDave
Hello soter! relatively experienced coming from some play in chiv 1, mordhau and now chiv 2, but looking to take my skill up a little bit. is there any way we could get into talks of a coaching session? payment would definitely be given. i would appreciate your consideration , and look forward to hearing back from you.
They slow that walking speed but not the sprint. All classes can sprint and move in similar speeds but strafing aka footwork is dodging attacks and landing your own into a enemy's vulnerable position. Biggest differences seen on Devastator/MaA being fast on foot despite swinging heavy equipment like a shield or big 2h but compared to Guardian, they can blitz through crowds and Guardian remains slow and almost stationary because they walk slow with their shields. If they have bad footwork, you're expected to counter or parry more with a shield instead of walking out of range and making your enemy reach yours.
It's worth specifying that heavy shields can bounce unblockables rather than just saying all projectiles, as all shields can soak a ballista bolt with survivable hit-through from the ballista doing more damage than the shield has hp. If you're blocking the unblockable will stagger you for a shorter period of time, and the unblockable can straight up bounce off the heavy shield on your back or while not blocking.
To be honest, the old tier list isn't reall outdated or anything. Mainly because there have been no weapon changes. But maybe I can make an updated version for the heck of it
Because with the advantage of having much more life with the knight, a giant shield with 400 hp and you can give the special attack many times due to the knight's stamina base, if you have mastered it one handed spear, it can be a complete dominance in the match, not mention the tackle abbility, that you can with full stamine do, the tackle and the special attack together
And besides all this, you cancel out the fact that it doesn't have a high range factor, you also have the banner to heal you and everyone around you in attack or objective defense situations.
@@gorlab9549I mean it probably had a small part to it because it's how he made money, but from what I heard and probably why he did it is because of mental and financial problems, also that doesn't really have anything to do with the original question
in 3rd person you see more around you but it's kinda hard to see directly in front of you, in 1st person you see less, so 3rd person is probably better but i recommend playing whatever is most fun too you
So i new and i know that author himself wouldn't be able to answer my question,but i still can ask anyone from community by this comment.What is particulary telling that Guardian is tanky outside of geavy shield and banner? Because u still basically getting two shotted by any weapon rather then slashing weapon
The misunderstanding about knights is that you're tanky not because of the number of hits, but how much less likely you'll die from BS. For example, cut damage isn't that much of a concern against knights because the 175 hp will show it's benefit when you take hits that would otherwise be bad on other classes. This stems from stray arrows, throwing knives, cut weapons, throwing objects and etc. You're less likely to die quickly as a knight and only die quickly if you fight against people with blunt or chop weapons but those weapons may not be as common as everything else. With a shield, you're even less likely to die from catching all the hits you would've caught if you're using another class. And if you are dying, you have a higher chance of surviving by retreating back and healing. If you were a vanguard or a archer, you may die in one or even two hits and that's it, no chance to retreat and run back. Knights are highly favored on their ability to stand their ground and benefit from it by charging their items (banner/horn/oil pot) even on countering or tanking hits while having the best gear in the game.
I feel like the biggest dumb c*nt, didn't dawn on me that absorbing damage doesn't mean taking health damage, level 148 currently and I still don't know how these goofy ahh classes work

@@David-sc5kfYes, also what kind of question is that?
Love these videos. Feels like you'd do a great job on in-depth weapon videos too, I love the snippits you provide for the classes.

Well I'm glad you're enjoying the new changes
These videos are really fun to watch,and actually let me know a few things that I didn't know about something I played for a third of my playtime
I'm glad you enjoyed it
The legendary series finally makes a return!
That it does!
Love these type of tutorial videos, keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
You really waited for the update to come out. Good video !
Yeah I did. Glad you liked it!
this is a great video dave. i like you listing the actual stats
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video Dave, thanks for sharing! 10/10
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video, looking to see more Chiv 2 content from you. Cheers!
Thanks, will do!
Damn this video deserves wayyyy more views!
I appreciate it

Quite the tale!
tis but a scratch
I got hit a ballista today, and it pinned me to an enemies shield that was behind me. Greatest kill cam thing ever
You forgot to mention the increase of the range of your tackle if you're using the shield.
Apologies!
I have 65 thousand kills with this class. It’s all I use. I’m 20th worldwide with the warhammer.
Damn, fairly impressive!
Wow hahha, thats crazy !! Are you still playing chivalry 2 now?

Awesome, thank you!

great video great editing we want more😁
They're so hard though 😵💫
@@SoterDave take your time, till that time we want some gameplays😁
I like to put the heavy shield on my back like Achilles lmao. I even try to do his finishing move.
It definitely feels cool
Great video! I don't play much Chiv2 anymore but these videos are still worth the watch.
Much appreciated!
Thank you for this Video :>
Ran into Dave yesterday. I got wrecked, thoroughly bagged, and then he was gone lol. gg’s
well fought
Lol i choked bad but thanks
The beginning reminded me of Cpt. Price punching Yuri down the stairs. 😂
I think if you get good with the 1h spear its S tier as long as you dont mind only stabbing pretty much, you can go pretty hard 1vx
I completely agree!

Is there a reason you seem to prefer playing in first person as opposed to third person?
it looks cooler
100% fair, it feels more like you're in the middle of a battle. I just suck in first person so much I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing on a secret to it lol @@SoterDave
I wonder what subclass is next! I really want to see man at arms of field engineer
Man At Arms would be next 🙂
@@SoterDave nice, will you be covering the fact that you can delay rapier's special attack?
@@1thumbs-upmountain138 perhaps. Typically I don't focus on the weapons too much in the subclass guides, but who knows
shields feel slow to me. i never feel confident that i can block in time with a shield. is it actually slower or is this all in my mind?
All in your mind!
Thanks not a basic video 💪👌
No problem!
Yes, yes you have proven your worth.

Do the larger shields actually slow you down? I never really felt the difference
They do

Biggest differences seen on Devastator/MaA being fast on foot despite swinging heavy equipment like a shield or big 2h but compared to Guardian, they can blitz through crowds and Guardian remains slow and almost stationary because they walk slow with their shields.

Interesting. Thank you for clarifying
Yeah definitely gonna subscribe because I need more tips on this game since I actually enjoy it than COD.
Glad you enjoy it!
Shield is STRONK 💪
Indeed
I just bought chivalry after saw this vid haha
Hey thats me!
On camera and everything
We need the new updated weapon tier list!
To be honest, the old tier list isn't reall outdated or anything. Mainly because there have been no weapon changes. But maybe I can make an updated version for the heck of it
@@SoterDave Do you think that the stab nerf might give halberd an edge over spear?
@@vraggly9267 perhaps, but I still think it's a good change
Guardian with one handed spear its a absolute mass of destruction if you are a good spear player
Because with the advantage of having much more life with the knight, a giant shield with 400 hp and you can give the special attack many times due to the knight's stamina base, if you have mastered it one handed spear, it can be a complete dominance in the match, not mention the tackle abbility, that you can with full stamine do, the tackle and the special attack together
I myself already dropped 110/13 in lionspire, complete mass of destruction
And besides all this, you cancel out the fact that it doesn't have a high range factor, you also have the banner to heal you and everyone around you in attack or objective defense situations.
100% The One Handed Spear is the most powerful option on this subclass.
we need a captain america shield and fist sorta video
Look up Captain Agatha!

If you so desire.
After the first earrape I can no longer hear anything what is this video about?
Hail to my fellow shield wall soldiers
Hail!
It just makes no sense why would a full plate knight use a shield instead of a longer weapon?
Because it's a guardian !!! 😂
Impenetrable defenses!
@@SoterDave no shield is lasting particularly long against halberd strikes, and the knight can’t do anything in return with his pitiful arming sword
