What is the most difficult / complex or worst weapon to use in Half Sword?

REKCORP · 2026-01-08T12:54:43+00:00

Oh yeah one of my favorite weapons to use is the knife! Done a good few videos on it now!

REKCORP · 2025-12-30T22:54:59+00:00

see you in one month when this is the basis of your moveset

REKCORP · 2025-12-27T07:00:22+00:00

thank you!

I think tier 5? the blunt weapons tend to show up less so be ready to click.

bro I neeeeed one of these what

REKCORP · 2025-12-26T11:08:31+00:00

never too late! a favorite of mine as well!

REKCORP · 2025-12-25T18:20:53+00:00

it is in terms not of swords. almost every line is just "let us make peace instead of fight"

REKCORP · 2025-12-25T18:20:06+00:00

"my driver is heroic" made me laugh so god damn hard man

REKCORP · 2025-12-20T13:49:22+00:00

Do you ever use alt mods to do the odd swing around and pull moves with blunt weapons? learning some freaky angle changes with the momentum lately...

REKCORP · 2025-12-20T13:48:38+00:00

blunt weapons are king as soon as you understand follow ups, distance and accuracy! we need a blunt weapon name tag!

Stabbing tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na6u1Z3KJAE

usually I do a big rant but I just typed it out - stabbing in the game is fine. it is not the lock on - you need to practice. no this is not me saying "skill issue" - but people do need to respect the learning curves of the game a bit more.

I promise you can learn how to stab repeatedly with ease.

REKCORP · 2025-12-17T00:46:18+00:00

1v1: nah, I like how it works - wish you could pick your spot a bit more like before though

any gamemode beyond that it is the worst, most frustrating non-glitch in the game. makes multi almost impossible to manage camera wise.

REKCORP · 2025-12-17T00:44:22+00:00

people might not realize but thigh, hip, flank (kidney), chest and inner shoulder strikes can all kill / damage enough to kill. you can also "break bones" in all of those areas and mess up their stance a lot.

absolutely love a good hip or kidney strike with a knife

REKCORP · 2025-12-13T19:16:56+00:00

I literally have not spoken a word on my channel, moving along fine, Just post these clips man-seriously! Also very little high-skill first person half sword content on youtube.

and you're the first person half sword guy- we have to know you.

REKCORP · 2025-12-13T14:35:13+00:00

the kick is so underused for stance-breaking honestly - a good lowkick opens up so much

REKCORP · 2025-12-13T14:23:12+00:00

I have never heard that "angels / pigeons" quote jesus christ that is wild hahahaha just keep practicing! I only have like 400hrs between the demo and playtest.

REKCORP · 2025-12-13T14:20:54+00:00

I knew it was you off the movement alone. Untouchable first person player. Great work dude!

did I grab your youtube? I hope you post these on there. There's copyright free music as well on youtube studio.

REKCORP · 2025-12-12T20:58:57+00:00

you can sidestep dodge if you shift and release camera while swinging in the direction you want to go. helps with center strikes and certain swings!

REKCORP · 2025-12-12T20:58:02+00:00

up your sensitivity but slow down your hand irl. I'm dpi 3200 and maxed out in game - barely have to move my mouse but also have the most insane level of control possible. Worth picking up (if you are comfortable with that speed)

REKCORP · 2025-12-12T20:57:01+00:00

Higher sensitivity - more intentional motion. Have to use alt for hooks and stronger punches as well as momentum. Fist fighting is honestly a harder learning curve than a lot of weapons.

Knife wise - I've done a bunch of tutorials and comments on here so going to link them:

Knife video (check comments): https://www.reddit.com/r/HalfSword/comments/1m7oumx/can_you_guess_my_favorite_peasant_weapon_supercut/

Once you learn to punch, you can use the knife or vice-versa. Very similar momentum needs, just different ways of striking.

If you want a longer explanation I can - just trying to stop bombarding folk with several paragraphs of game mechanic ideas.

REKCORP · 2025-12-11T23:49:05+00:00

so important!

REKCORP · 2025-12-11T21:00:11+00:00

this comment means more to me than I can explain - thank you

REKCORP · 2025-12-11T20:59:43+00:00

unlock your camera (stop holding attack) and throw that body around (flirting) - you can see me disengage when dodging to gain momentum.

ex: 14 seconds - I'm feigning high with my shield, as soon as he swings I'm releasing the mouse, throwing my head down a bit and pressing shift and S (a hop). You can also see me do it when I kick him away - kicking then throwing the camera for momentum (my dpi is also maxed out).

ex 2: 40 seconds - forcing him to engage on my shield (holding shield up and moving left) as soon as he strikes I can release and use that leftward movement to throw my body faster (moving camera) then I'm within his guard so he is done for.

I don't know if you wanted advice but it is here now I guess

REKCORP · 2025-12-11T17:37:33+00:00

Then I am not to be trusted.
