Is this an exploit or combat mechanic?

When your in combat with a tough guy lets say the captain or a boss u can run to him press L2 2 times which is the kick button idk for pc then u push him a little then he is defense less for a short while so you can strike him once in the head keep on doing the same till he dies. work with everyone and there is no counter to it they can never block your attack.

note: u have to be very close to him when you push L2

@zeltchoron you seem to know alote about combat what do you think have you used this tactic?

It seems like enemies attack typically 4-6 times. If you wait and shield the attack then after you can counter. Also, as soon as the enemy seems to attack if you time it right you can land your attack and stagger them before they can attack you. Shield is very important piece to have. Can’t survive without it.

yeah but what i meant was this L2 thing i use for the ps4 makes the game so easy i can push the enemy attack push attack and so on they cant do anything its like an exploit

I didn’t see the top part lol. I’ve never kicked anybody in my entire gameplay. Lol

just go close and press kick 2 time attack the head and try a combo and again do it they cant do shit it makes combat so easy

You’re talking about the clinch. If you manage to push them back, they’ll be as defenseless as a puppy and you can launch a flurry.

but it my case it always works and they cant do anything they never win the clinch

Maybe you’ve you high strength, if you engage the clinch first with high strength, you’ll always win

oh that makes sense I do,again WH need to rebalance the stat or make the AI stronger cuz at this point the game is easy.

The combat gets too easy at around mid point of the game. You can literally one shot kill full plated armored knights with a sword.

I agree i like this game so much i hope they do something about it am on ps4 i rather for them to work on this than fixing the bugs

During RUN as soon as it starts one Cuman spawns behind you. Even with fairly good gear I had at that moment he was a fucking monster and hits like a trains. I wish all combat was like this.

People will start crying then. There are people who are still stuck trying to escape skalitz lol

Did you see me escape Skalitz and make work of those horse archers? Really wish every fight was scary. Henry 1.0 1 hit everyone. I really fucking wish it was the other way around. Where I always had to focus my blocks and combos and stuff

the best solution is to add difficulty setting people who find it hard can play on easy and for people who likes a challenge max difficulty a hardcore mod would be fun

Same here man. When I started off with Henry 1.0, I felt genuine fear even facing 1 armored enemy. That was so much fun. Now I let myself get surrounded by 7-8 enemies and kill them one by one while the others poke from all sides. It’s turned into Hollywood swordfight at this point

They should make it so that when you start off, you shouldn’t even know how to swing in any direction properly. And then slowly you learn to swing the sword, then by mid point of the game you’ll learn combos, at around 70-75% of the game you’ll learn ripostes and master strokes. Strength of your attacks should be scaled down too especially against plated enemies.

i didn’t feel this strong in skyrim where i was the legendary dragon born than am in this where am supposed to be a normal guy
