BDO Guide - Movement/Cancels/tech for experienced Warriors (READ DESC)

This is a mini-guide video showing off advanced movement/cancel tech commonly used by poster child warriors. I have broken them down and explain how they work and how to do them. If something isn't here, it's because it's already commonly utilized or well known, or is incredibly free-form.
You are expected to have baseline knowledge on how warrior functions if you wish to use this tech, though technically anyone can utilize it if they follow the instructions and practice it.

This was actually one of if the not the best warrior videos I’ve seen

[@drakule007]

wow! never thought i'd see a very helpful vid for warriors. you're heaven sent! thanks!

[@blackspirit1129]

Just recently switched from ninja to warrior and trying to learn the ropes. I guess the habit of constant c-swapping might come in handy. you've got yourself a new sub mate. cheers!

[@reglub2291]

I adjusted my key binds after watching this video. I obsessed over weapon swap cancels, now I know it’s all about the block cancels. Weapon swaps are still decent too though.

[@tzuyu_v9241]

The best video I have ever seen thank you

[@Aejion]

thanks for making this video, i will improve my own playstyle more often

Damn, didn't know alot of this stuff thank you for making this video it got me hella excited to go practice in ba and ruin my fingers rip :D

❤bro i search long time for a video like this ,now i understand hard movements i tried to copy movement on the Ba but was to fats to see,its so easy doit before this nowledge 🎉

nice vid!

I love the music

[@pilferingsquad9589]

This is like God like movement from solo leveling

[@A1_Oxyde]

This is honestly amazing but I wished you showed a slowed version of the combo at the end to understand it better

[@cereal9285]

The combo at the end is a combination of the instant heaven's cleave tech, combined with balance into reckless. I included it without a timestamp because it is simply one example of how you can seemlessly flow each chunk of cancels into the next so long as you understand what abilities need to be canceled into and which don't.
The full layout of that mini-combo (which is a starter to a combo technically) is:
Overwhelm > Q > Heaven's Cleave (hotkey) > balance strike > q > reckless blow.
The only key part in this starter example is that you must allow balance strike to fully hit the target before you q cancel into reckless blow as stated in the tech behind all balance strike cancelling. Hope this helps out since I didn't put slow-mo for it.

[@atherjnefarium9344]

you can slow it if u click the option thing in the video

[@namelessleon4101]

Hey @Cereal do you use default keyboard keys to do solar flare into head chase q cancels. I am mostly using my left ring finger to press q and a together to do cancel. Do you have any tip for that? A nice guide by the way.

[@cereal9285]

i have not edited any of my key layouts. i play the game on default keybinds and i do the same thing to press q + a, i just use my ring finger.

[@vegeny4655]

Thanks alot for thinking about the new warriors out there but how much fps u had in the making of this video?

[@cereal9285]

All of these demonstrations were conducted at 5 attack speed with 140 fps without alch stone
everything here is doable and still usable at 60 fps btw it's just a split second slower sometimes

[@vegeny4655]

@@cereal9285 thanks for the detailed response!

[@xHannibal]

Dang this is Hideo right? Cool guide :o
Idk if it’s still a thing but do people still do mouse to move after hitting grab? I used to do it bc if you mouse to move grab behind you then your grab does back attack damage and also mouse to moving grab was pog for 1vX since you could aim the AoE bound to hit approaching enemies while you were unprotected with grab.
Then another thing was speedup skills, Overwhelm and Kick and autos are the main ones I remember. For Kick you could do a/d + F kick into any preawakened animation cancel and you’d do the skill instantly without wind down and wind up animations. For overwhelm I would mainly cancel it into chopping kick into sped up spinning slash x2. OW>C>Chopping Kick>Spinning slash x2 ended up looking like overwhelm into instant spinning slash x1 since the kick and first SS got hidden. Then there’s the awakened speed ups on Knee Kick, Hilt Strike, and Armor Break after doing an auto.
There was also weird shit like for shield strike and charged shield strike. I forget exactly what it was but depending on whether you had shield strike locked or unlocked you could get special effects with charged shield strike. It was something like if it was locked then it would stun even when on cooldown and if it was unlocked then it wouldn’t stun on cooldown but you could get the stun without charging it. Idk been forever haha. Because of that I always though charged shield strike was super underused and would style with it a lot.
I saw your other video about some upcoming changes to warrior which is kinda cool. The changes there sort of replace the other weird things warriors had to do get the same effects which I guess is good to have things be more straightforward idk. Anyways great video and I hope you’re doing well! ❤️ 🗡

[@cereal9285]

Yeah. I wanna make a new video soon talking about more movement cancels and stuff that improve combo flow. 'Hit drag' is the blanket term i use for stuff that speeds up cancel flow into other skills. if a skill dont got hit drag then it won't speed up into the next skill.
For the grab thing, I'll probably try adding that in the video and elaborate on how grab repositioning can sometimes help you depending on what you're doing

[@curseofpenguin]

Ty, great content. Also what's the music name?

[@cereal9285]

Outsider no more from CP2077

[@namelessgamer5630]

Important question for all this is - how much minimum FPS I suppose to have to perform all of that? Some ppl says "from 120", some says "from 140"... I have 90-147 (90 - towns, mid scale arenas and etc.).

[@cereal9285]

120 is the gold standard. Any less you'll see impact, any more you won't get much out of it.

[@victorsenaxD]

Do warrior always use overwhelm on the hotkey? What makes the spacebar is bad?
How much fps do i need to be able to pull this combos?
Also, should i use the C swap on a mouse button, like mouse4?

[@cereal9285]

hotkey overwhelm can be casted on demand
you can do any of these combos with like 100 frames, you don't really need much.
learn to press c swap with your thumb

[@victorsenaxD]

@@cereal9285 Ok thanks, just so i got it right, do i hotkey overwhelm and lock it even with the solar flare combo?

[@cereal9285]

@@victorsenaxD you don't have to lock it. I am just a person who uses overwhelm via hotkey because i have the muscle memory of doing that. hotkeying the skill just lets you use it on demand instead of having to use solar first.

Can the head chase no longer be Q cancelled?

[@cereal9285]

You can Q cancel into head chase from other skills only. Can't q cancel headchase itself.
Everything in this video is still doable tho, if that's what you mean.

@@cereal9285 Thank you :D

[@haikalhadzik7744]

holy crap this class looks way more harder than i thought in its advance phase! i thought i was doing quite well on solare pvp but i guess my skillset will be stuck at the same level if i didnt mastered these advance block techniques, im either gonna reroll to some easier all rounder class like wizard or hashashin or i might actually mastered this and be a great warrior player who can fought on par against lvl 66 solare players, but in my opinion it seems the learning curve of warrior is kind of sickening, very unconventional, unorthodox, and definitely not a straight line to learned.

Can you still do it now?
