Advanced Feinting & Kick Combos

Learn advanced feinting and kick combos in Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. Master these techniques to outplay your opponents and dominate the battlefield. Essential combat guide.

Hey there! So you want to get into the nitty-gritty of Chivalry's combat, huh? We're talking about the stuff that separates the newbies from the seasoned knights – feints and kick combos. This isn't just about swinging your sword wildly; it's about outsmarting your opponent. Let's break down how to really mess with people using feints and kicks.

Feinting is all about deception. You start an attack, make your opponent think it's coming, and then cancel it mid-swing to start a different one. The key is to be unpredictable. If you always feint the same way, good players will catch on. Mix it up! You can feint a horizontal slash into an overhead, or an overhead into a stab. The timing is crucial – you want to cancel just as the swing is about to connect, or even a bit before, to catch them reacting to the initial wind-up.

Kicking is your close-quarters panic button and combo extender. If someone's right in your face and you're about to get hit, a kick can push them back, giving you space to breathe or start your own attack. The real magic happens when you chain kicks into other moves. For example, you can land a hit, immediately follow up with a kick to stagger them, and then land another hit while they're recovering. Some advanced players even use kicks to interrupt an opponent's attack wind-up, though this is tricky and requires precise timing.

Combining these is where it gets really spicy. Imagine this: you feint an attack, they try to block or counter what they *thought* was coming, and just as they commit to their reaction, you kick them. Now they're off-balance, and you can land a free hit. Or, you could feint, they don't bite, but you use the momentum of the feint to quickly transition into a kick that catches them off guard. It takes practice, a lot of practice, but mastering these techniques will make you a much more dangerous opponent on the battlefield.
