    Other then blinding jumping off a tower into a sea of Knights, mistaking other knights for builders, not registering what I'm doing and not to mention my terrible ability to use explosives...

    I think I do quite well.

    Obviously the most efficient way of playing knight is spamming perfectly timed slashes and parrying any decent knight who you come across.

    I find that boring af, so I tend to find less efficient methods and add them to my play. So I will often be holding up my shield, try to wait for the enemy to jab it and then counter with a jab of my own. I also love holding my shield up while ducking so people fall through me when trying to abuse their height, so they get stunned and some fall damage, and then I finish them with some jabs or perfectly timed slash. Also, I love playing support, so I will charge into a knight or two with just my shield up, trying to block hits and stunning them, while my team mate knight picks up the kills. Oh, and my personal favourite is blocking someone in a hole/tunnel while holding shield up and trying to counter anything they do with a jab, lol.

    I usually join kag, struggle to leave the base and then am immediately beheaded by a knight who was on the other side of the screen a second ago. Then I think how it used to be I could play kag then I cry

    I tend to try to reach the enemy base constantly rather than jousting in between or in the front lines. With 3-4 bombs it's usually doable. Doing damage there is a good stopper, and stealing sawmills and saplings.
    When fighting, I try not to follow the knights that charge their slashes backpedalling, cancelling that ez tactic of bait - charge slash in the opposite direction - release slash in the enemy direction. Shield surfin on those retreating slash charging knights works well too. Overall fighting in really close quarters is funnier to me. I also avoid fighting every single enemy that appears on the screen if I want to reach a specific spot.
    As I main builder, I try to assist builders with resources and defense. But one of my fav things is conecting jabs on a slash spammer or on a normal 1v1 fight. It deals 1 heart of damage but it's very powerful with the correct timing, and satisfying. Jumping around and doing the opposite of what's expected, like that wallrun jump out, slash and repeat the circle etc. Also, throwing bombs on unaware players is fun, and jabspamming against archers and builders, huehue.

  12. Aside from one or two posts I think this thread is a pretty comprehensive tutorial on how not to play knight.

    I try to go behind the enemy to help my team and get as much damage in as possible. Generally i do shieldslide jabs to counter slashes when on a flat area and counterslashes when not. I also try to use tactics as described in sun tsu's the artof war. I dont always succeed but I mostly help my team more than I otherwise could with my skill, processor(and video card) speed and internet (in)stability.

    I lived in a jungle, so I have no tactics whatsoever and I have no idea on 'counterslashes' 'shield jabs' etc.
    But.....
    On flat ground (like actually FLAT, not like with little lumps) I slash in a few (1-2) blocks short of the enemy knight and depending on his skill if he counter slashes I'll either do a 'counter-counter-slash' or jab then fall back 5-6 blocks and rinse and repeat. If the enemy rushes me, I'll either shield slide back and wait for an environmental kill* or just try to kill him average since my skill is ok (Sangfroid I need to dual you for real once). I believe on one of the official maps I actually got to kill sangfroid like this:eek:
    On lumped ground I use lumps to my advantage. By this I don't really mean jumping off from a lump and trying to slash; I mean staying a bit lower beneath the lump maybe 3-4 blocks away and slash while backing up.
    On a vertical/tower drop you can shred your enemies by charging the slash either mid-air or on the tower then making it explode on them.
    If your on bottom the best option would most likely be to avoid for now until you have a builder or arrow ladder or an opportunity. Of course, if you're a god at timing you can slash them from under diagonally (don't stand directly under), or just go the easy way and be Sangfroid (for those of your who don't get the reference, go look in media and grab a saw)

    Also, for skill level:
    Didn't buy yet: Go buy!
    New players: Be builders
    Newer players: Be archers"
    Noobs: Stay on the front line. Watch closely at higher ranked knights (leaderboard) and how they do stuff. Eventually you'll discover your own style.
    300 hourers: Try everything! Each class helps you learn more and how to exploit/counter using what you know.
    1000 hourers: By now you should have a minor (tiny, actually) style and a class preference. Go and look at some vids in Media and play more!
    3000 hourers: You guys should be mid-upper level by now. Don't tell me you wasted all your time in sandbox.
    5000 hourers: IDK... Don't really know anyone really good at 5000, but just play along and try to look into other styles to advance your own
    Fags: You're old. Go home.
    Old fags who came back out: It's been a long time-go play with modding and contribute!
    Oldfags: Your styles should be complete almost and you guys should be always hogging the leaderboards. Unless you're a builder <3
    Me: Look above: :keg::camping: :heart:
    Seneschals (10000+): Welcome to immortality. Watch below you and help new players! Contribute ;D
    Greatest other classes: Teach us how to exploit your weaknesses <3
    Greatest knights: All hail! Teach and pass on your knowledge to levels lower.

    This is about it for me. If anyone want more tips/suggestions/a chat feel free to pm me ;D

    This is too long.
