    State your techniques and ideas for the knight class in this thread and describe them as you please. Just remember, no flaming/abuse in this thread, take that to private messages.

    If you hold down LMB then you charge a slash. I use it to dispose of my enemies. I feel conflicted sharing as I'll loose the edge but not many people know about it and I'd like to see people progress.

    Almost always go low, as their slashes are less likely to hit you while you are below them than above.

    Or at least that is what I remember... Maybe I should play Knight again....

    Low = stomped unless you nail the timing.

    High if you just want to stomp slash and probably get an instakill

    But, from what I remember, you have much more of a chance to kill from below if you both go high, as everyone does.
    Sure, you might get stomped, but if the enemy has only 2 hearts, then I would say to go for it.

    Nah only elites can really nail upper slashes consistently. Stomp slashes are the reliable pub tactic

    Don't be predictable. Never chase your opponent. Know when you have terrain advantage. Keep a constant supply of bombs. Idk I tried to be helpful :P

    Sit in a 2 block wide hole that's kinda deep and slash the shit out of the opening, it's hard to attack guys in pits. If you are on a sort of high structure that enemies have to climb to get up, like an enemy building, slash the shit out of the top edge, denying all the wallclimbers.

    When in doubt, jabspam

    Do a little hop before you slash. Something about the mechanics make this wayyy more effective when you hit the sweet spot in timing.

    The most important thing to knight combat is knowing when to slash and how fast you can do it. Doing a fast quickslash can counter a double slash if timed right. (Also when the double slash is in motion)

    YES LISTEN TO GURIN, THE AUS KAG KNIGHT GOD.

    I also found that shield bashing someone when they are charging a slash then follow up with a jab. Push off them and slash back with a quick slash.

    Slash timing is a key skill but if you get locked in a slash by the enemy you should go for a jab. Slipping in a jab or two while the enemy is charging a slash in your face is a good choice. Finishing off the opponent with a jab also gets your enemy very salty :wink:

    Don't do anything stupid and practice movement, its just as important (if not more) than slashing itself.
