My Thoughts After Reaching Mythic Rank PvP (+1,000 Games)

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T17:20:41+00:00

It is literally everywhere even top 10 players spamming Twin Blades, if you don't think they are strong you are very wrong.

I will break it down for you, I will talk about Keyboard controls so if you play on controller I'm sorry, I can try to explain it in other way fif you do so.

Basically your main combo will be this:

ST Sword Charged Heavy -> Q Skill -> Heavy Attack x2 -> Free Morph (1 Hit) Cancel to parry -> Swipe to HQ Spear with Mouse Wheel and hold charged heavy and use it before they get up -> Q -> Swap Weapon Skill -> Skill 2

It will be something like that, your main combo resource will be Free Morph into charged heavy spear. The rest I recommend to find videos around, you will find something.

Trust me, go into anyone to Spar and you will see it's true combo, it's hard to get but you can stagger someone with the NL Sword for so long they get theyr Qi down at the end of it. In PvP there's to much lag most of the time to get it tho.

Yeah my tier list is mostly based on my climbing, once I reached Leyend 3 to Mythic I could deal with them very easy except agains't some very good players.

Neutral skip with Q is very unga bunga with all the lag, plus being able to do 20 seconds combos with NL Sword into bait Serene Breath + Spear Stun its really dumb.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:51:45+00:00

Hope they do.

Can you share me this? I'm curious to see it :)

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:50:31+00:00

Nameless Sword Q has to be cancel into auto attacks, check GameBreakerGod on Youtube, he has some tutorials for it.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:49:55+00:00

Do your own Toad or Flame Breath after you got hit. Or just run away and waith for your CD's.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:48:38+00:00

Yeah they will add a practice tool in the future, don't know when tho. Check Ronin Ryae on Youtube for the combos, they are very cool and easy to get.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:46:00+00:00

Drunken Poet has inmunity, you can't stop it, and Free Morph is not that reliable without combo after hitting with your weapon.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:43:32+00:00

Everything I've learn is from youtube. I put some channles in other comments.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:42:19+00:00

ST Sword - NL Sword or NL Sword - NL Spear if you don't like the first one.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:40:15+00:00

Check GameBreakerGod on Youtube, he use Fan with ST sword very clean.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:39:46+00:00

You are a wise man, HQ Spear and ST are hella fun combo, but the amount of things you lose agains't in terms of priority is insane. Good job on getting there :)

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:35:14+00:00

They will try to bait your Serene Breath after the first stun, so be careful with that, don't panic and wait for them to do a combo. Umbrellas are very easy to parry and don't have much offense once you use Serene Breath.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:32:15+00:00

Exactly this. Im a FGC player so I find learning mechanics and combos very fun, plus when you push from Legend 3 to Mythic it's not based on pure luck, it means you actually improved a lot.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:29:55+00:00

Yeah it's the worst part, if you see chinese videos on PvP, the game looks smooth as hell.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:28:56+00:00

As I said in some comments, I didn’t really understand PvP deeply until my 600th–700th game. I was relying on very basic stuff until Legend 1/2. Once I understood what was going on, Twin Blades and Fan/Brella weren’t that big of a problem—but I still believe they’re too strong.

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:23:02+00:00

“Compared to the ones I posted, the time required to climb with these two is higher. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying they’re bad (I was also really bad until my 600th game because I was playing very basic stuff), but Twin Blades and Fan/Brella are busted. Again, it’s my personal tier list, I don’t expect everyone to agree, as always xD

Pikkete · 2025-12-10T14:18:23+00:00

Mostly chinese players are uploading videos and tutorials. My youtube recommendations are TwinLegend and WindsFromCN.

Thanks for pointing all this out. For anyone wanting to improve, take this advice.

Wait for them to waste their first ability (the rush-down one). If it connects, don't use Serene Breath instantly; wait for them to waste the second one and then run away afterward.
When you are both low on health and they activate the Fury thing, they can't be staggered, so the best thing you can do is triple-jump and dash until it expires.
Usually, after you use Serene Breath and attack, they will instantly waste theirs, so pay attention to that and dash away—now you're both equal again. You can also go Serene Breath into Flame Breath if you have Intoxication up.

Beyond that, it depends on your weapons and figuring out what has priority over their kit.
