[748][Gen] Differences of knight, KAG to KAB

Love rebounding bombs, also Kegs act like old KAG bombs. With massive explosions in 4 directions.

 

As of now bombs do not collide with bodies anymore.

 

mmm, good to know. It was very frustrating in alpha when all a knight had to do to kill you, (being a knight yourself) was hold a bomb till it had milliseconds left and throw
You had no chance unless you completely backed of and made them throw it. Also it is good that bombs are know harder to lob 100 meters. It helps with bomb rain.
PS: water/bomb combat.

 

Good observation Killatron. That was why I sucked at knight so much in Beta! X3

 

If bombs did 6 hearts of damage it wouldnt give a knight a challenge agaisnt his/her opponents. (Which would encourage bomb spam).
Kegs are pretty cool in a way because if one enemy jabs/touches the keg with anything they have it explodes everyone. Pretty neat.

As for shieldbash i am not quite sure if they will be implemented or even useful in beta since there is a stun from jabbing a shield...And since knights can glide from the top of the map down and take no damage i say shieldbash would pretty much be useless agaisnt one (Unless its a builder/archer, then that would be funny to do).

 

Shield slide mentioned by Geti

 

Great additions!

 

You should have said it was from franek. For a second there I thought you made the video. :/

Knights can be launched by a bomb now from a high place and slowly land in the opponents base without costing a heart or two. It would be cool if there would be some coordination where a couple of knights do this at the same time.

 

I'm so famous x) And throwing out bombs is much better. (waterbombs too >:D)

Im my opinon is knight is much better and more dynamic but less skillfull beacouse of that you can fast load slash and hold it long. When there was onlt one second when you can atack with you had to think more. If I were you I would nerf slash a little but make stunning with shield and jabbing more effective. Sadly I'm not.

 

plz dont nerf slash... i would cry for 100 years ;-;-;-;;;;;--;-;-;-;;-;;;-;-;

 

They won't in 99%

 

i think i know why they cant at least change the charge time. it has to do with the double slash because if they made the single slash charge time reduced then that means that the double slash could be used allot more and overall become even more powerful. in the end it would work against itself in terms of wanting to nerf slash but ending up making it stronger. other than that beta combat is good because it doenst have the immense amount of retarded bugs that classic knight combat has. if you played classic you would all know what im talking about.

 

I find the timing of both slashes to be rather perfect. You open yourself up to any damage once you try charging, and it has a equal payout.

The new fighting updates which actually pushes you forward with a slash gives that extra learning curve with the amount you can do with it. It might be because I've played beta / testing for a long time, but once you learn how to time slashes and hit before anyone else; it's gg no re.

 

exactly my point, why people cant understand that and complain about knights being op i will never know

 

It's not OP for sure but little too easy. Its no almost no matter when you start laoding slash just when release it. And I dont like that 2 jabs are same fast as slash. In beta 10% of knights use jabs. 7% new players that dont know how to fight and 3% pros. I'm trying useing pareing/jabs how often i can. Beacouse i hope when Ill lern that good it will be better than slash spam. Small chance for it. And kedram try play as archer sometimes you will see how slash faster than light annoning is.

 

Has anybody added:

• More shield angles?

 

Yeah you can get damage while loading it...1 heart when archer will shoot you. If you wont slash his arrow for accident. And if he wont miss but its about archer skill. Yeah he can use legolas but you will easly block when you will see he is loading his shot too long and just run away if any knight is close. You can get bomb in face? Dont think so, every medium skilled knight will shield it. And slashing other guy in 1vs1 isnt hard. You just atack first. Slash have so huge range...And vs archer? In alpha it was hard to catch these little bastards. When you tried to slash him jump away climb somewhere or something. Now? They dont have time for it. Why? Slash loading time so fast.
