Keep in mind, as all guides are, just reading will not make you good, it is simply a guideline to help your development. GO OUT AND PRACTICE!

This guide is divided into 2 sections, tips and mechanics(combos).

TIPS involve advice and perhaps a thing or two to watch out for.

Mechanics involve much more practice and/or experience to pull off.

MECHANICS (COMBOS)

Dash - Kick

Begin with a kick, then immediately dash in the direction you kicking. Good for a surprise kick, or to deal a little damage in the moment your opponent's shield is down.

Roll - Throw Weapon

A personal favourite, very useful against people ranked 40 - 150.

Roll, as your opponent is getting up from a role, throw your weapon and deal huge damage. Run around or fight unarmed for the next 30 seconds.

Watch out for an immediate kick deflection at higher ranks. always shield after throwing your weapon or move from your original position

BOW- Double Arrow

Charge up the bow, shoot the enemy and special 1/2 a second later(or sooner depending on range). A small adjustment may be made between the two arrows. If both hit, this will knock your opponent over and take out half their health.

WAND- Freeze - Weapon throw

Basically the roll - weapon throw, except you freeze the opponent, then follow up with a weapon throw. Good for dealing damage while you have low stamina. Watch out for the kick deflection.

I find that if you freeze an opponent trying to use a charged attack on you, this will pretty much always hit.

TIPS

For Bows and Wands - Snipe window

Zoom out with (ctrl -) or (cmnd -). The screen will zoom out, allowing for more accurate snipes.

(This was originally an exploit, however Rezoner said bigger monitors would have an advantage if this was taken away. So he left this feature as is.)

Special control

Oftentimes, the sword special makes it the strongest melee weapon. If you are playing a melee weapon, try to keep track of its special. If you cannot do so in your head, USE YOUR SPECIAL AS THE SWORD DOES, or very soon after. Use this as a measure, when your special comes up, the swordsman will also have their special.

Unarmed Combat

Unarmed combat is the dividing line between higher ranks and lower ranks. At lower ranks, when you lose your weapon, you become an easy target. At higher ranks, losing a weapon just means less punishing potential, which is still a disadvantage.

Perhaps I will post an unarmed combat guide in the future.
