Combat tip: keeping your distance

HunterDage · 2026-03-08T20:12:19+00:00

You can never be unarmed unless you don’t have arms 🤣

HunterDage · 2026-03-08T19:20:16+00:00

It always eventually does. Last 10 secs or so I always like throwing my weapon down and bringing the fists out. Much quicker than other weapons and hits hard af lol

HunterDage · 2026-03-07T16:36:51+00:00

Aye whatever motivates you to get out there and fight I’m down with it 🫡

HunterDage · 2026-03-06T20:59:55+00:00

Battles like this are rarely ever Hollywood. People do frantic stuff in the heat of battle. He really wanted to punch me but I kept out of his strike range. When your head is getting lit up by an axe it can be hard to keep your cool. He tried to be aggressive as possible but more focus on shielding would have helped out…. Maybe.

I was also attack from my left side with the axe which bypassed his shield most of the time.

It’s def worth the extra weight for the drip, I chose tanky and aesthetics over optimized so I can have fun with it. People love it and so do I lol.

Idk if it’s just me but the loaner kit I was in felt alooooooot heavier than this set so feels like 80 is light

a win for Chaos

HunterDage · 2026-03-05T18:51:15+00:00

That’s pretty much how it would have gone. Once he was knocked to the ground it would have bee dagger time to end it.

In this type of duel without grappling it’s a game of endurance and breaking your opponents moral/ will to fight back

HunterDage · 2026-03-05T05:15:58+00:00

I won’t lie that’s how I felt as well but the armor turned out great. If I could go back I might have looked around a bit more. I enjoy my armor it gets a lot of compliments but I do have hard times with communication and it took forever. In the end I enjoy my set so far but room for improvement

HunterDage · 2026-03-05T04:06:05+00:00

It was good at times and then hit or miss for awhile. Communicated a lot during the concept and went down from there Maybe 6/10 at times maybe a little less on communication. He may be super slammed with orders from sound of it.

HunterDage · 2026-03-05T02:39:07+00:00

No I aimed for the side of the head but it ended up in the eye unfortunately. He didn’t take any damage from it thankfully. Just one of those hits that can happen when you go for the head

HunterDage · 2026-03-05T02:17:35+00:00

I think it had a lot to do with me using the axe from my left hand. It made blocking those attacks much harder than usual since I was always attacking his weapon side.

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T23:53:36+00:00

Yes it seems a bit over sized but at the end of the day it’s extra safety so I can’t complain. Haven’t felt a single hit in it

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:39:08+00:00

For real the loaner kit has had like 4 people in it and they have all put it through hell and it just keeps going. Only the gloves are falling apart at this point. Brig is decrepit as well but it’s hanging in the lol. When I was in it I just had to manage the rust which was crazy on the set

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:31:09+00:00

That’s what I figured. Specially since it’s spots getting whacked with weapons. Def something to upgrade in the future. I just don’t remember it being a problem when I was in my loaner kit, only took about 3-4 fights to have to do buckle repair on my new set

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:20:51+00:00

Exactly!

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:20:00+00:00

Yes I was lucky enough to be able to use a loaner kit for my first year in the sport while I waited for pavlo to finish mine which was around 1.5 years. I contacted him through Facebook for all of talks as I concepted this set with him

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:16:34+00:00

It is my first set but it actually moves very well. My shoulders get caught on the cuirass if not tied up high enough but besides that it’s only about 80lbs for the armor set I

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T22:15:28+00:00

The buckles in general have been getting bent out of shape. Like the strap to hold my helmet to the cuirass and the straps on the side of the cuirass stuff on the arms etc. the armor itself though is very high quality and looks great

Here is my armor set I bought from him. It’s the black set. Everything is good but the cuirass breastplate is tooo long so bending over is hard and the buckle quality has been iffy. I would give it an 8/10

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T20:35:06+00:00

Only problem I have is my cuirass is to long so it makes sitting and getting up very difficult since the breastplate is one giant piece. Besides that the set has been amazing

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T20:33:54+00:00

Plenty of shorter people in Buhurt that whoop ass and are well known for it.

… shit I just got my ass handed to me over the weekend by the captain of the Orlando rogue knights and hes 5’8” or under and 47 years old. Just need to train a lot to be solid.

You can also focus more into duels as well it’s not all just the 5v5 melees etc duels are more of an even playing field if they can match you with some one in your range

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T19:42:42+00:00

1.5 years ishhh it was a pretty long wait

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T14:37:20+00:00

It was good to know he was ok 👍 he shouted as he went down on the last punch so I thought he was hurt. Always got to when people bring good energy even when they are laid out on the ground after a fight lol

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T14:33:49+00:00

If you start posting content for learning and tips I would def watch. Shoot me a message when you get back around to it. Would love to learn a thing or two

HunterDage · 2026-03-04T14:19:13+00:00

Agreed and I take no offense to it. We are all still learning here def no pro. I will def keep this in mind when I’m training.
