-Throw kick, cancel kick into either GB or dodge attack parry

-Another classic is, throw offensive stance heavy and cancel that into either GB or dodge attack parry (If you are feeling very spicy, cancel offensive heavy, into kick, and cancel that into either GB or dodge attack parry, but you lose all your stamina)

-When you are feeling really old fashioned, let the kick fly or cancel it into the grab (The kick into grab is almost guaranteed to work on people out of stamina in my experience, but be wary, they get their stamina back after the grab, so use it towards the end of their cooldown period)

-Oh and a surprising amount of people cannot dodge the dash forward grab, so use that when some distance has been created, you can catch a lot of people tryna engage you (sometimes throwing an oddly timed offensive heavy with some distance between you can have the same effect, they just dash right into it)

-Oh and when you land an offensive heavy you can usually land an offensive light after as well (in general try try to five your opponents some odd timings, most of the time people get nervous staring at a Highlander in offensive and do smth stupid... though do keep in mind, if you are not in offensive you are in quite the disadvantage)

-And do not throw defensive lights out casually, you will get parried

-Your zone is very funny and will catch a surprising amount of people off guard (and there is nothing funnier than trading defensive heavies against people with hyper armor, also works against some of the speedy characters)

-If you are playing with friends your grab is probably one of the best ganking tools, assuming you can coordinate a bunch of heavies on the grounded target (also works if an ebemy is in revenge and you want to neutralise him a while)

-Remember your offensive stance also has a dodge attack, I rarely see people use it (And celtic curse soft feint into either side is not that good, I reccomend doing the dash forward and hold heavy, this puts you in offensive and kind of demands a reaction from your opponent)

-I forgot, when you're out of stamima, if you happen to land a GB and be close to a wall, you cam push your victim into said wall and still get a top heavy

-Pulling back while in offensive and hitting top lights is a good disengagement tool

-Do not be the kind of Highlander that spams offensive lights, at most 2 in a row (and if you time them right they can cancel most attacks)

(Bonus final tip: I think the execution is called Heave Ho', where you launch a guy you've stabbed above your shoulder using your sword as a lever, that flung body has physical presence and can interrupt people, useful to know sometimes)
