Stabbing op

so far i have fought a good number of fights and not yet found an enemy which isn’t weak to repeatedly sticking them with the pointy end. winning strategy seems to be: stab until out of stamina, fall back until stamina recovers, repeat. and all the fancy swordfighting techniques and counters and blocks and such seem to all be pointless compared to the pointy end of my bastard sword. most times enemy doesn’t even get a hit in, it’s just stab,stab,stab,stabbity, stab, stab…unless they have a bow…then it’s stab,stab,stab,stab,stab, get shot in face with an arrow and die (i know, i know, strafe…don’t just stand in front of him stabbing wildly while he ever so slowly points a bow at my face and draws a target on my skull)

i kinda want a rapier so i can stab even better.

Slashes work just as well. As do arrows. “People die if they are killed.” -Shirou Emiya

yeah but they could at least block…parry…put up their shield…something. they just stand there and take it.

They do, sometimes. I have stabbed and had it blocked or dodged. Once your first hit connects though, whether it’s a stab or swing, they wince, and then you can continue hitting them multiple times.
