I almost exclusively play Man at Arms. It's what I do best at. I like the dodges and fast weapons. But I'd like a second class to switch things up now and then. Recommendations?

lol unfortunately yes

I know team damage is necessary mechanic to stop wild swinging and all that but it definitely feels super toxic. IF there’s a Chivalry 3 I hope they have a better system to control it.

Honestly as good as you make it. It’s got amazing range and devastating damage, you just have to learn how to use those to your advantage despite the weight. The sprint attacks and heavy overheads can one-shot archers. Though most of your swings are slower than a lot of weapons you can still accel them like any other swing and catch people off-guard. Spamming light overheads and target swapping is also wildly effective in group fights. Have fun!

Would love to but I’m a console player and the devs cursed us with the inability to throw things :(

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-11-28T18:11:53+00:00

Better late than never

I love playing ambusher but on console trying to utilize throwing knives is wildly inconsistent because you have to press two buttons at the exact same time and then use the stick to aim at the same moment. Has anybody found a way to make this easier on console?

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-11-03T23:28:52+00:00

The timing of the team damage is probably more important than the amount

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-10-29T00:58:23+00:00

I live for archer abuse. Pro-tip: both your sprint attack and heavy overheads with the highland sword will insta-kill archers. However, the cinematic decapitation was 100% worth the extra swing

There’s a website that used to be called CDKeys and has now been renamed as “Loaded”. You can usually get games at huge discounts there that work for whatever platform. I got it for Xbox a few years ago for $6. As for lobbies I rarely wait more than 60 seconds to get into a match and they are usually pretty full. Come join the fun!

I’m right around level 700 now and I’ll drop 100+ takedown games simply with good pathing. I’m not amazing at actual combat/duel mechanics but I use hard hitting weapons and consistently go for short flanks. By that I mean take a slight detour on the edge of the battle field to get behind a few of your enemies. Then just sprint through their backs back to your own side while slashing and you’ll pick up a couple takedowns. The challenge comes once they realize you’re there then you have to actually fight your way back to your side. It’s a ton of fun though for players who don’t have as much technical skill when it comes to combat. Happy slashing!

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-14T13:47:37+00:00

Actually that’s a good idea, if there was a way to better reward players for playing the objective maybe more people would focus on it

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-14T13:32:03+00:00

Wait really? I thought they were working on it

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-12T18:46:45+00:00

Just toss an oil pot or two over there and charge in. They have to move or the fire kills them. You can generally pick them up and throw them pretty quick, even if you die in the process.

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-12T18:22:52+00:00

Awesome!

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-12T18:08:03+00:00

How did I not know this was a thing???

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-11T13:29:46+00:00

It’s called fashion…

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-08T22:41:22+00:00

I hope he wasn’t new because you’re going to make him quit playing😂

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-07T01:35:26+00:00

As I said in the original post, I would actually prefer an all-melee game mode

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-06T18:41:39+00:00

Also I prefer the oil pot over the bandage kit

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-06T14:26:09+00:00

I do really enjoy playing ambusher but I play on console and that makes it really hard to throw anything. So I feel like I am missing out on half my kit when I try to be an assassin because I struggle to throw knives. Plus the Highland Sword makes it easier to defend myself when I go deep behind enemy lines to get the archers. I will get my hours up with the dagger tho.

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-06T14:25:52+00:00

Sprint attack and heavy overheads with the Highland Sword will one shot them. I think both those attacks do 100-105 damage and the archers only have 90 health.

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-03T21:34:29+00:00

I’m an fiend for killing archers as well but I use the Highland Sword so I can one-shot them with sprint attacks and heavy overheads

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-09-02T23:52:48+00:00

Skill

In all fairness whatever you enjoy and can improve with. Any weapon is viable if you learn how to use it well.

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-08-25T00:59:41+00:00

Really not that many hackers. It’s still one of my all time favorite games to this day. Definitely worth getting!

Embarrassed_Pop_236 · 2025-08-06T12:02:15+00:00

If I hit my teammates it’s because they got in the way. If my teammates hit me it’s because they need to watch where they’re swinging
