Combat Combos & Techniques

Master the art of medieval combat. Learn devastating combos, precise strikes, and defensive techniques to dominate the battlefield.

Kick Techniques & Finishers

Kicks are executed with Spacebar and serve two critical purposes in combat:

🛡️ Defensive Use

Create space when enemies rush you. A well-timed kick knocks opponents back, giving you room to recover or reposition.

💀 Finisher Move

When an enemy is downed, move to their head and press Spacebar for an instant skull-crush kill.

Pro Tip: Kick finishers work best on unarmored heads. Against helmeted enemies, use weapon strikes to finish them.

Breaking Your Opponent's Stance

Before landing a clean hit, you need to break your enemy's defensive stance. Two methods:

Method 1: Kick

Press Spacebar

  • +Quick stance break, staggers opponents
  • +Creates space for follow-up
  • −Risky if you miss

Method 2: Charge

Press Shift + W

  • +Forward momentum disrupts posture
  • +Good for closing distance
  • −Higher risk of counter-hits

Warning: Both methods leave you vulnerable. The best time to break stance is right after your enemy swings — strike while they recover.

Targeting Weak Points

Combat isn't about trading blows — target exposed areas for quick kills:

🎯

Head / Neck

Horizontal swings at neck for decapitation. Stuns on contact.

🦵

Limbs

Severing arms/legs causes rapid blood loss kills.

🩹

Armor Gaps

Watch for unarmored areas — armpits, neck, inner thighs.

Mastering Defensive Play

The best offense is a good defense. Master these three elements:

🛡️ Blocking

  • • Shields are optional but powerful — equip in off-hand
  • • Recommended: Shield + one-handed weapon combo
  • • Shields stop spear pokes — critical vs ranged attackers
  • • Watch stamina — blocking costs energy

👟 Footwork

  • • Hold Shift to sprint for quick dodges
  • • Tap Shift while moving sideways to evade strikes
  • • Circle your opponent to find openings
  • • Never stand still — moving targets are harder to hit

📏 Spacing

  • • Distance equals safety — the closer, the more danger
  • • Keep enemies at your weapon's ideal range
  • • Spears excel at defensive spacing — poke from safety
  • • Close distance only to strike, then retreat immediately
