    I don't get it, archer seems to be OP, but knight-knight combat seems like it does not work!

    I jab someone and it does nothing or half heart, they jab me and i get inst-killed.

    What did i do wrong? Was it a glitch, or was it some obscure trick no one knows yet?
    A good explanation of the system would be nice, and it would sure help for Beta testing.

    Simple:
    Jabbing removes half a heart (I'll have to be corrected on that). If you jab a shield, you get stunned.
    There are two levels of slashes. First one acts like the regular Classic slash and the second level works like a double slash. If you hold the charge too long, you'll get stunned. I recommend practicing in Skirmish or RTDM.

    Its been changed a little, you can overcharge, and stabs will damage more if you hit from above.
    stuns are very varied, and there are a lot of causes. (hitting a shield with a stab, getting hit with an arrow (very short to quite long, depends on charge) and others)
    charging a slash takes longer.
    archers have a weak melee attack (quarter heart), but when they (manage to) hit a knight in the back, it does two hearts damage.
