Raider's best option to me is Dane + Messer. Feels almost unfair when you throw your Dane Axe for a free kill, and instead of being unarmed, you casually pull out the most dynamic sword in the game and go to town
If you are new to the game, there are some weapons that are better than others but it really comes down to personal preference. You can take down lobbies with a burning chicken and knife if you want to. My suggestion is play shuffle for a while and get around to trying every weapon and then find classes you enjoy the play style of for me i like crusader with battle axe and mourning star, or when i get backed dane axe throwing.
2:37 That poor enemy knight getting stabbed by what I assume to be 4 dragged stabs in a row thinking " What kind of dark magic is this guy using that my blocks are not working ??? " Also seeing you play and analysing what you do : footwork, counter ( counter feints especially ), drags, accels, fenits it all makes so much sense and its so logical, but it is so hard to do it in actual battle. I bet a lot of players that are decent or are becomming decent loose fights simply because they loose their cool.
I think when the game opens up is when you can perform these things without thinking about it, you just have developed the muscle memory see it and do it.

I'm new to the game and haven't unlocked all weapons yet, but I'm generally liking more the long reach ones, tend to be slower but it feels right to manage to do a successful counter then sweep through 5 opponents while mantaining fort for your team and making your enemies lose time with you instead of completing their objectives (and if I get lucky I may take one or two down with me). Sadly I die a few secs later because there's always someone hitting from behind or the stamina runs down, but at least I helped the team lol
Devastator with Maul. I simply cant play anything else, its too satisfying to kill with. And with the stamina buff its actually a good weapon now. Not in a league with Greatsword and Highland sword, but its perfect to me.
Devastator with Warclub is highly underrated. It's basically a higher damage/faster longsword with more range against both knights and Man at arms. The only problem is the 30 on hit against other vanguard but since most vanguard weapons are already slow you can out play them with ease
Warclub is nasty in 1v1's and definitely gets underrated.. but it has some STRUGGLES in bigger fights... the low dmg means you need more blows to kill, which is time you don't have in team fights, and the fact that a swing stops on a single target really hinders your ability to engage a group
I personally use the pole axe and mace on officer. Pole axe is more defensive with its long reach, and the mace is very offensive because of its class bonuses and fast speed
at around 1:20 you countered that guys overhead but feinted it into the opposite side overhead. How do you do that? I thought you could only change from overhead to stab or slash or stab to slash or overhead . How do you go from overhead to alternate overhead??!
double danes are really powerful in any situation but it is harder to play vanguard in chaos of TO due to less protection from non-chop/blunt damages. personally I love polehammer heavy swings. with a little footwork or parries you can literally mow down rows of dudes at choke points. same with other high damage axes/hammers
I really like the sledge hammer ( I haven’t unlocked the maul yet) but my personal favorite for vanguard is the war club, the range is super good and you can hit ppl really fast if you then your camera.
No disrespect to you or the champ, but Raider is objectively better. Dane/Messer/Horn feels absolutely broken compared to anything you can put together with Devastator. Horn is WAY better than Oil Pot, and per the champ's own tier list, both the Dane Axe and the Messer rank higher than Highland or GS
All that said I spend a lot of time stomping with highland... the ratio of swings that result in kills is just disgusting on that weapon compared to any other. If you want the highest score/biggest impact I think it has to be Raider, but if you want the most kills (not takedowns) you really can't beat the Highland
Feel like I’m the only one over here in love with the glaive 😈 Messer as my secondary Edit: I play Raider almost exclusively, with the occasional stint as an archer if I’m getting too tilted
Footman not getting any love. The barricades and traps are useful but those med packs are just atrocious. With that said, pub stomping with a shovel is downright dirty and disrespectful haha. It's a lot of fun.
Recently I switched my main from Devastator to Crusader, and the Messer feels so good that I started to believe GS might be underpowered. I mean, GS's damage is a bit low, and the extra reach is somewhat neutralized by the massive movement speed penalty. Plus the slow swinging speed makes it a little awkward to use in situations against multiple opponents, especially against noobs, because usually one of those left-click spamming barbarians is gonna get lucky before you can land the counter on him.
Could not agree more on Messer > GS. GS is better if you're getting free overheads/specials, but in literally every other situation the Messer has the edge, and even in that one category, the Highland is better for cherry picking free hits. As vanguard player, its REALLY hard to play GS/Mallets/Oil Pot when Dane/Messer/Horn exists. Messer > GS. Dane > Mallet. Horn > Oil Pot.
You can get alot of kills just by good positiong sticking with team mates and looking for isolated enemy's. That's the way to start learning and most important thing in this game or your gonna lose alot of heads and limbs you wanna be doing the outnumbering not be the one outnumbered.
Still fairly new but I found I do love the Exe Axe a lot, I go Devastator but not sure if I should switch to Crusader. I like to be front lines doing crowd control. 1vX I'll counter slash just to do damage and survive long, 1v1s I'll back up to keep distance, bait a miss then punish. Seems like Devastator might be best suited to that? Anyone have tips? Also someone said Greatsword does the same but is a little more smooth, thoughts?
I never understood why I get punished for throwing my FirePots into a choke point with enemies (I throw it directly at a choke point that has a battle in it.)
The longer you wait into your 1st swing before feinting into your 2nd, the more deceptive it will appear to your enemy. Every now and then you'll wait too long and your 1st swing will go off, but it's super worth having that happening sometimes if you're really dialing in that last-second timing
What is your favorite class to play in CHIVALRY 2? See the CHAMP live on twitch.tv/stridah
Spectator is pretty sick.
Ya mum?

@@StridahsAngels Yeah... I have a lot to go until then...
Excellent commentary. Solid gameplay with beautiful counters. After watching a couple of your videos, I shall be subscribing. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the support!
I love the Crusader with primary as two handed hammer, the bloody thing slaps in 1v1 duels and group fights
Nice video man :)
Love the hammer! Ty my man

That what great about chiv a lot is viable!
I agree, dragging w maul is insane. But Highland Sword just feels nicer😈
good game

I’m new to this game and thank you for this video you got a new subscriber
Enjoy man it’s the best game!
Yo congrats on the channel growth brotha already over 4K
Appreciate all the support my man! Ty
I’m loving the Quarter Staff atm
I'm new and have no idea what I'm doing but I get some kills and try to stick to objectives... Good fun.
Crossbowman with a cudgel is undefeated
I personally use the pole axe and mace on officer. Pole axe is more defensive with its long reach, and the mace is very offensive because of its class bonuses and fast speed
Great vid 👍🏻
IMO highland sword is not a low skill weapon, just can kill multiple enemies in some situations...
So anyone putting up high numbers has to have skill it’s Deff one of the best to stomp low skill players with. So yeah they all take skil agreed!
@@StridahsAngels Yea odd you even bring up Highland sword while at the start talk about using the broken Shovel lol Low t take fam
Timestamps would be really useful here
at around 1:20 you countered that guys overhead but feinted it into the opposite side overhead. How do you do that? I thought you could only change from overhead to stab or slash or stab to slash or overhead . How do you go from overhead to alternate overhead??!
Alt key on pc you can change to the same attack on opposite side

Been in a few random ass games with you. Glad I was on your' team.
Ha! Cheers mate

Heavy Mace, Mace and Throwing Knives.
ALL YOU NEED. Consistently top 3 minimum every match I join..
That heavy mace slaps
No even a word about Shield combinations ? Im loving one handed spear.
Glad to see the crusader with the messer up here, this so far has been the only one ive liked.
It is great! Still prefer raider tho
The man at arms class is my favorite with the rapier and the falchion.
Falchikn low key slaps
Same man lol
I think right now Vanguard Devastator with highland and greatsword was dominated in this patch.
I would agree!
@@StridahsAngels did you already try new coxwell?

Nothing beats a good hearty chicken.
Ambusher short sword and hatchet
Engineer with SHOVEL.
Halberd and pole axe
Guardian with Warhammer
Shovel ❤️
If youre playing ambusher you should be playing dagger
Feel like I’m the only one over here in love with the glaive 😈 Messer as my secondary
Edit: I play Raider almost exclusively, with the occasional stint as an archer if I’m getting too tilted
What’s great about chiv is people can develop a play style around diff weapons…still thinks it’s trash tho lol
I like the glaive too, but I main the messer long sword and great sword currently
Nice job man. As a new player here , would you recommend using first person ? Seems everyone else saying third person is like God mode.
Use either, first person is for the chads..there is a demographic of players who say you need to play in 3rd they are usually shit at the game l.
gonna give these a try.
Armors a debuff makes the footman more squishy than vanguard without shield
Footman not getting any love. The barricades and traps are useful but those med packs are just atrocious. With that said, pub stomping with a shovel is downright dirty and disrespectful haha. It's a lot of fun.
I was slapping w my shovel Saturday! 😂

Yeah in a pinch I’d prob take messer but love greatsword probably use it more.
nice

Right now I'm really enjoying being a footman with the morning star
It is fun
1:57 always hated crossbows... takes too long to reload
Loving the 1440p!
I wish could stream in 1440
the lvl 5 archer is hilarious
Man I just want to be good at this game. I just main the crossbow because I get destroyed using melee weapons so I can’t even have fun that way.
Won’t get good unless you practice melee
@@StridahsAngels true. Did a bit better today though! Thanks for the guide.

@@honeybadger9425 gang warfare basically
Even with crossbow, you will need to know how to melee when someone rushes you.

All warzone players should play this, take it back old school no cheap shots
Simple morning star and shield is enough to take out a whole lobby for me
polehammer slaps not even capping
Best weapon 😂
Not the double team double head execution 😭 6:26
Bro said I won't go to heaven unless I subscribe
How do I use fire pots properly? I almost never see any opportunities where enemies are close enough together to use it
Choke points… I am
Notorious for killing my own team though lol
I never understood why I get punished for throwing my FirePots into a choke point with enemies (I throw it directly at a choke point that has a battle in it.)

Ty mate
how do you do these super long fint chains where you wiggle your weapon around for ages before you hit?
Wait till late in your wind up to feint, does not need be instant

Is it wierd that I love the first axe as devastator and think the knife is good?
Great sword
Halbarad
Two handed spear
Best weapons in the game
how the hell do you stab through blocks just by aiming closer to their head? i literally do that all the time and its just a block anyways lmao
Dragging
Am I weird for using the Morningstar as man at arms lol
Nope
RIP Highland Sword
Yeah it’s trash now
Has they been any changes since this video came out
Nope lol
I tried the game for a couple of hours.
It has very clunky controls and the hit boxes are inconsistent...I will not play it anymore .
"top 4 classes" but there are only 4 classes
Congrats of how many people to watch this video, you are the stupidest!
bro where are you even finding the word devastator in the game
I was told the Polehammer was best and there was data to support that….with glaive coming in at a close second
Best weapon in the game! 😂
So is Guardian not good to run?
It has its place
What no archer class?!
Don’t want chicken legz to go back to old habits
The best by far is long sword no questions asked
Game 🎮 pass brought me here
Welcome mate!
"Steam Edition" is the same for Epic and console. It's not different at all.
Ummm that is in the title so people know it is up to date with the steam release….
@@StridahsAngels Everyone got the same update though.
im so dissapointed no one has pointed out the kobe comment LMAO
😀
Is it just me or does this game just crash after every match on ps4
Couldn’t help but notice your archer was only level 5 lol, fuck those guys they need to add more archer insult voice lines 😂
Only from shuffle mode I won’t shoot bow
Guy mentions all kinds of weapons but then claps everyone with a highlander
I clap with every weapon lol
But have you ever considered the mightiest weapon?
