Sun Tzu - The Art of Jab

Let's talk about jab. I think it's true power is not understood.

• When should you jab?
• When should you not jab
• When is jab better than slash
• What are some cool techniques with jab

 

always jab, jab is 2 fast 4 em all, jabspam is best techniques

 

Jab is good for fighting knight, archer builder and fish. Slash should not be used unless against buildings.

 

A jab execution right after a slash is actually faster to execute than two consecutive jabs (potentially due to the jabspam nerf a few updates back)

For me it feels fast enough that the single jab after the slash will connect before the enemy is able to raise their shield again to block.

Against a shielding enemy what this means is:
Slash (shield break) + Slash + Jab
= 3dmg

Compared to;
Slash (shield break)+ Slash = 2dmg

Sometimes sneaking that extra of damage might be enough to kill a enemy.

Note that to jab again after the first jab will come with the regular delay however, so only pile on the pressure if you can predict for some reason the opponent will not go on the defense after the slash slash jab combo.

This jab technique is perfect when facing down solo knights but may be more risky against large groups (e.g. enemy teammates rush in to shield
while you slash jab their friend)

Good fencing ladies and gentlemen

 

Yeah slash -> jab is very potent although the danger is that the jab gets shielded and you get stunned. For some reason I find this hard to do quickly though. Do you have a trick for it? If you click too early after slash then the jab doesn't go through.

What's also a nice combo is stomp -> slash -> jab -> ded

 

only works vs nonshielding enemies, also double slash is more reliable and gives no chance to an enemy you stunned
also, i'd change the jab for a 2health stomp tbh lol, if you also add double slash instead of normal slash this is insta death even for shielding enemy

 

With double slash though you have to be slashing as you fall, which is fine if you can fall from quite high up and thus build up some speed, but if you don't have that height then the enemy knight can often jump up and counterslash. It's less risky to fall shield-first without slashing because there is no counter play to that. In CTF though you're right - double slashing while falling from your tower onto the knights below is the way to go

 

shields op pls buff

 

Here's another nice jab trick; a short shield dash to stun someone followed by a jab. If you're fast you can keep someone stunlocked and do a few of them.

 

jab with lag

 

Simple:

Always jab builders. Jab archers when in close space or 1 hp. Jab knights when they are 1hp. Jab knights charging dubleslashed when youre both closed in close space. Jab knights when they jab your shield. Jab.

slash=hack engine
jab is the only honourable attack, for knights shall perish of a hundred wounds to their chest in defending their Konungr; this is both tactically engaging & historically accurate, as St. thomas well said once:​

​

thou shall jabbeth until thy heart stabbeth
