MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DO THESE THINGS, OR YOU'LL ACCIDENTALLY BECOME GOOD: 5. Low Profile For Precise Movement 4. Run Away From Overwhelming Fights 3. Perfect Parry -> Staggering Strike -> Quickshot 2. Counter Gunners with Firearm, Stop Detection with Berserk 1. Use Smoke Bombs - The Item Unity Stealth Is Built Around
Quickshot is what happens when you press the Projectile Button fast without holding it. If you have enough damage it will instantly kill. Instakill just means it's a guaranteed kill that you can Trust and don't have to worry about. Enemies on their back will always be instakilled by any Quickshot on them from any item.
i used smoke bombs just to exit in style after i killed every enemy that saw me and after i used all my med kits. I used berserk blades only on bosses so they could die by their allyes hands.I kept bullets to shot chests so i can open them after i used all my lockpicks (it seems it doesn't work like irl), but the thing that i always did is to kill the remaining low hp poisoned enemies with phantom blades. This is how you became a master at bad playing.
Trying to play the game without smoke bombs forces you to learn more about AI behavior and become more observant of guard patrol patterns. It forces you to be more perceptive. And if you can do that, you become less reliant on smoke bombs. Sure, the use of smoke bombs speeds up your stealth gameplay, but what would you do if you didn't have them? That's where training yourself to go without them comes into play. Over-reliance on smokebombs is a problem because it can potentially hurt your stealth skills, making your movements more reckless and your understanding of unsmoked AI behavior less acute. (Also, there were a few unnecessary uses of smoke bombs, phantom blades and berserk blades in this video; one could even argue these unnecessary uses were overuse.)
My Playstyle is very item heavy and high-execution. "Overuse" is Relative. I'm already making a Low Item vs High Item playstyle overview but if you're the kind of person who doesn't need smoke you're also the kind of player who wouldn't gain anything from this video we're now commenting on. (Or maybe you would? You could learn to wield both etc) "Unnecessary" is *also* relative. Unnecessary in what context? Each and every use of Smoke or Berserk in this video was done to play a part in a specific purpose, for a specific reason. They all had a function and weren't used "just 'cus." There is a *noticeable* difference to a player just using everything, and a player who's highly aware of how every item works and what situations are Right for each one. Now, as a matter of personal enjoyment (and because it's really Flashy and that's what Viewers like to see >__>) I'd never trade the incredibly high speed of a highAPM, itemheavy style for anything, and it's important to know *how* to play both. Otherwise you're really only trying half the game and can't really choose. But it IS the easiest way to see a huge jump in efficacy, IMMEDIATELY, and that's what a lot of players need in order to get started. ruclips.net/video/mYP_I0DLnLM/видео.html People also tend to find something like this way less entertaining than juggling ten-billion items as fast as possible, so RIP me I guess. No matter what I do, someone will have a word for me xD Thanks for the feedback though, you touched on some things that are already in the upcoming LowItem v HighItem guide. ^__^
@@LeoKRogue I don't personally view it as overuse, because you weren't dumping consumables at enemy after enemy until you ran out. That would constitute overuse in my eyes, which is why I started with unnecessary because I thought it fit better with what I saw. Maybe it's just a product of the way I play games, because I tend to shy away from consumables in almost any game in favor of a more raw experience. It's just a habit I've picked up since I was a kid. "What if I waste it now, when I could REALLY need it later?" type mindset. I only ever use consumables in games if I view it as an absolute necessity in the situation I find myself in. If I use Skyrim as an example, I stock up on Health and Stamina potions and sell all the others because I don't use them. I also don't bother with enchanting because I sell the soul gems used to recharge enchanted items. But yeah, I'll definitely check out that video; though I doubt you'll be able to break me from my "What if I need it later?" mindset haha
Trust me dude, it's SO freeing to be able to use items when you are capable of Identifying specific, high-impact scenarios, and then save all of the rest for another time you really need them. The logic goes essentially that, If I use them all excessively, I'm not getting their real value, and likewise if I horde them completely, I'm also not getting any value. They're in the game for a reason. (That said, there are some games that are notorious for making me do this too. Bloodborne - Iosefka's Blood Vial. Yeah I'm holding onto that always xD) There's like this... Pocket that is strongest in the middle of both of those, and I'm generally leaned out on the side of using them too much (because Shops are too ezpz in ACU) but yeah, that clutch line in the middle is legitimately ideal. I'm *hoping* to be able to teach people that, cus god damn, it gets so much fun. Like... I consider that upcoming vid one of my more important ones cus it can potentially let people try stuff they didn't realize was possible. That's my fave thing right there. :D
@@LeoKRogue I use items in ACU, don't get me wrong, I'm just a LOT more discriminative than you seem to be. I've done a playthrough without using any consumables other then healing, lock picks, and pistols, so I've gotten better at keeping myself hidden and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. So if I use a smoke bomb or one of the 2 projectile blades, it's because I don't see any other option in the given situation.
That sounds super fun! Have you ever done a No Upgrades run? I really recommend it, it's definitely something that tests how precise you need to be with items throughout the entire game. ruclips.net/video/9b1pV3K8ooY/видео.html
@@LeoKRogue true, you and your channel deserves thousands of subs more than this. I mean, u are still making videos on this what, 7 yrs old game? Love ya man 👏
I think it would cool to see him play with less tools personally, he has more than enough knowledge to be really impressive but how can he show his skills when he always uses a tool along with his knowledge such as when he uses berserk blades
I'm SO glad I found this video - I've been having much difficulty further illuminating the inconsistent nature of Unity's design in my moment-to-moment play! RUclipsrs like Treviso, and even yourself, have a wealth of content that has failed to aid me on my journey to the skill floor, though I'm glad it seems like you've had a change of heart, and have begun to consider folks like me! I'll be sure to share this on the Assassin's Creed subreddit to spread the Unity love! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've got your back, Toa. Hundreds of Unity players every year suffer from being accidentally good at the game, and the plague of high-skill Stealth videos from RUclipsrs like Treviso and myself have only exacerbated the problem. I just thought, I had to give back a little, y'know...? I'm happy I was able to help you out, you and viewers like you are the reason I'm still kickin'!
Best video yet Leo. Love how you take one for the team in making this, making sure we can all suck at this game, how we can get that “juicy desync.” Next time I play this game, I’m going to hear your calm voice encouraging me to be the best I can be at sucking at AC Unity. I look forward to increasing my “scrubness” and being “reckless.” Gonna have a blast! Thanks!
Thanks, I had a whale of a time sucking at Unity. It's hilarious to have a supposedly stealth mission just crumble into chaos every once in a while, especially when you surprisingly don't fail in the end.
Thank you! If you know people who would enjoy watching me, definitely let them know. Check out my Hoarders Stealth Reaper video, as well as my Commented Playthroughs or Rogue Academy playlist.
@@LeoKRogue I've been slowly watching through a ton of stuff, and it's all well done and entertaining. I've already told a few of my buddies about this channel. I'm trying to build a desktop right now to get back into gaming a bit, I have every AC game except odyssey and origins on steam haha.
That is a massive issue that can be solved by replaying missions until you learn how to deploy fewer tools in order to harvest greater numbers of enemies. And if you notice yourself running low on items, train yourself to Open Map, Mark Shop, Run to Shop, Restock. This is totally fixable ^__^
Gotta say, I am VERY bad at number 5. Also I don't think I've ever used phantom blades in combat, or done the berserk blade trick. They're just too valuable!
Great self-awareness haha. Load up a mission you enjoy, I like to practice on La Halle aux Bles, and practice using your items on guards in different ways like that. You're going to end up going back to a Shop eventually and ACU has a very fast Refill All button in shops for exactly this reason. At first it'll feel weird but as you try it more and more you'll realize how easy it gets. La Halle aux Bles is my fave because it's a stealth area with just enough guards for good training and a great layout that tests Movement without being too cramped.
@@LeoKRogue My favorite is L'observatoire. Whenever I feel like I need to practice using different tools or playing with guards AI I go there. It has a good amount of enemies to keep you on edge while you're still on the ground and lets you play with differents heights for projectiles
I jumped into the AC series late (few months ago) and am now playing through Unity. I'm good at not using blades in combat, but I failed at not using smoke and accidentally got somewhat okay. Really well done vid, and I didn't expect to find anyone still putting out content on the game so that's awesome.
That's alright, it's totally fine to be about in the middle of things in terms of the skill spectrum. We all start somewhere and it doesn't really matter how good or bad we are, just that we keep growing. Thank you for the compliments, as well. :D
I started playing Unity some days ago, because it was free, and I'm already at like the 25th rank and with 5 golden diamonds, but I never heard or thought of any of those tips. Your videos are so enjoyable for me, because you love the game as much as I learned to in a few days. Please keep it up! 👍🏼
I got recommended one of your videos about Unity and I remembered I didn't play it for like 2 years, I just started a new game so thank you for these tips. I'll definitely never use smokes sir don't worry.
Ngl I completely forgot about staggering strike for the whole game, still beat all the sequences with ease doe, I basically just relied on my parry skills the whole game and tbh I think I liked that more id gather large groups of enemies pop a smoke than when the smoke goes away all the enemies are dead. When I used staggering strike after I finished the game I realized how useful it would’ve been in many situations if I remembered it
Definitely. All jokes and caustic humor aside, AC Unity is one of those games in which there's a good amount of stuff to learn and keep in your head at once, and the more you do learn and remember, the more fun you tend to have.
I'm glad this guide exists. There's this guy called Leo K [Rogue] that's all "ooo I'm so good at stealth, bloody hell". Nice to see a TRUE gamer giving advice. Thank you, L30 K [Rouge]
That generally hasn't been my experience if done off of a Perfect Parry, but if there are too many people around you, sure, the chance of being hit is greater.
I had no idea the staggering strike was this good. My approach was always "perfect parry one dude, and then strong strike his friend since at least 1 guard is already stunned" or "try strong attacking people with guns since they can't fight back" or "Dodge Roll then Strong Strike:. I imagine you could replace Strong Strike with Staggering Strike.
@@LeoKRogue I can confirm it's pretty common. I had no idea the staggering strike was this good. My approach was always "perfect parry one dude, and then strong strike his friend since at least 1 guard is already stunned" or "try strong attacking people with guns since they can't fight back" or "Dodge Roll then Strong Strike: I'm going to try replacing Strong Strike with Stagger.
"Will girls like me if I suck at unity" is one of his browsers near the end. Good hidden joke there, but also yes. Can confirm. I always run constantly and take my time with stealth. I have been watching your videos to get better lol.
@@LeoKRogue Random question, what's the reasoning behind high profile being mapped to right mouse click? I been trying to improve on my movement. right click to me seems unnatural.
@@reignandbongao9497 High Profile movement requires fine camera control; it makes perfect sense to have your Camera and your High Profile button be on the same Hand. Assassin's Creed 1 to Rogue also all have High Profile be Right Mouse by default, I think, for that reason. I just use Ubi's OG keybinds instead of accepting their new ones, because they're bad. :P
@@LeoKRogue I vaguely recall playing ac3 and 4 with right click, but that was more than half a decade ago lol. Guess time to chip away the muscle memory. Where will quickshot go then?
@@reignandbongao9497 My Quickshot/Aim goes on Middle-Click. Again because this is an action that should be on the same hand as camera-movement. Ultimately though, play with whatever inputs are good for you. I use these because they're effective for me and give me the highest degree of control.
I recently started playing this game again. I remember really enjoying it when it came out and I didn’t have any issues like others were reporting.... I never beat the game but do remember having a ton of fun. I forgot how hard this game can be and how complicated its mechanics are. It’s great but I’m terrible xD this was actually quite helpful thanks. My biggest issue right now is co op just because it can sometimes be hard to get people matched, but I want the outfits you can only get by doing it... and solo co op especially early in the game can be brutal
Hey man, I really enjoy your content. I always liked the looks of Assassins Creed, and the beginning of this year i bought Odyssey. I only started playing Unity because it was free, I actually wanted to next play part one. I really find your videos helpful and i can really feel that you enjoy the game you are talking about. Good Luck! You deserve way more subs!
AC1 is my favorite game ever made, so I hope you enjoy it. :D It is very old and may frustrate you at times but it is very, very special to me and I've never played another game like it since.
I know I'm late, but I was tired at being so good at this game. I booted it up the first time in a long time, and i was just having great parkour flow here to there, i even had a few ocasional stealth reaper runs. These are really too much fun. This tutorial and tips really got me to suck at unity and I'm really hating it. Thank you very Much Leo Rogue.
@@LeoKRogue I'm reality though, I love your tutorials and appreciate them. This niche community of AC youtubers is great. And this video in particular was so funny and satirical and a great change of pace!!!
Hey man just wanted to say this... Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us. I really regretted buying AC unity at first because of how seemingly hard it was compared to the others, but all that changed once i came by your channel. I’ve gotten much much better at the game and it’s the best AC game imo. I even recorded a few missions on my channel doing some light stabbing work. Keep making great content ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I'm glad you've felt like you're improving, Unity is definitely a game that rewards Knowledge and understanding. If you know how everything works, you immediately notice how much easier it becomes.
Leo K [Rogue] Yeahh... I’m sad ubi won’t make a game as beautiful as this, since they’re finding success with Witcher 3 clones and a dumbed down stealth system...😔
Honestly I just got unity a few days ago after absolutely massacring the other games, and to be fair the game has a lot of bad things. BUT it’s the only coop AC and it’s genuinely fun when it’s not bugging out or messing up. Oh and by the way, I found you last night and I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos. Keep it up and I appreciate your dedication to the game.
The game does have a bunch of bad things, absolutely. I mention that in this video: ruclips.net/video/nNDjcukuVns/видео.html In it, I talk about how the game is beyond messed up, but it's still pretty special. Thanks for the kind words. :D
This is such a charming way to point all these issues out... I really smirked, grinned and laughed my way through it... 😂😂 Thanks for accidentely improving my playstyle back then... ;)
@@LeoKRogue I'll probably never be really gone... Even if I may not stand around the next corner having someone's back... Nice to know to be in some thoughts sometimes... :)
You're just that good. Technically you don't haaaave to use any of these tips, it just makes the game way harder and messier if you don't. If you can still succeed without them, you're just a good player who has no trouble.
Well goddamn, didn't expect the goat to answer me directly on this! Discovered your channel very recently and I'm loving your content, it really reignited my love for this series man!
@@LeoKRogue (Sadly I might be actually bad, after not playing a while. I'm in mental pain after the Unity disc broke a month back. Black Flag and the Ezio Collection is keeping me company until I can buy it again.)
I have never figured out why people always talk about the staggering strike like it is the most important skill in combat. I have been playing Unity for a few years and never even used it until recently and did fine. I have yet to come across a situation where staggering strike could be used where a heavy attack wouldn't be the better option especially with a long weapon. Like why stun an enemy when I can take half his health away instead? The long weapon makes this even worse for the staggering strike since it does what 2 staggering strikes do instantly. Honestly I want to find a situation to use a staggering strike but I just can't justify using it over a heavy attack
"People" don't talk about it. I do. I popularized this idea, because it's True. The point is not to do Staggering Strike x 2, the point is to do Perfect Parry -> Staggering Strike. Why is this so strong? A few reasons. It's universal, usable agnostic of weapon type, and opens Instant Kills. What more do you need? Let me explain further. We're not even going to touch on the fact that Long Weapon sweep takes charge-time and you can be interrupted out of it. God-Combo defends you by starting off of a Perfect Parry, and kills enemies faster on average than _anything else in the game_ except Stealth Kills, all without needing any Stats whatsoever. You can do this at Level 0/Level 1 Arno and still kill max-diamond Agiles/Defenders. Again, we need to stress this works regardless of Statistical Disparity, whereas Heavy Attack efficacy is determined by your Stats. Do you see what's happening here? One kills *ABSOLUTELY.* One kills if *built* for. THAT'S the difference, and it doesn't require any specific equipment except for any projectile, which you'd still end up using with spears anyway. Obviously if you're lategame/endgame, yeah, use your Sword of Eden, or your Eagle of Suger, or what-have-you and just Hold Heavy on everyone, but until you reach that point (and, contextually, even when you do) God-Combos are just too strong and resolve fights too fast to leave on the table. You do you, though.
Thanks! ^__^ Not everyone seems to realize this video isn't made from my authentic personality, but rather a creation of comedy, so it's nice to see people click with it and appreciate the theatre haha
Believe it or not the thing is I was following some of these tips, so this video is of great help to show what not to do, it is ofttimes even more efficient than to teach what to do lmao
I believe it! All jokes derive from some sort of truth, and the reason I chose _these_ 5 mistakes to talk about is because they're the ones players are most likely to be doing or to know about. :D If it helped you at all, it absolutely served its purpose.
Thank you. I doubt that it will improve my performance, but listening to you is somehow comforting. But it's all very well pointing out that running from hopeless odds is essential for anyone who aspires to be a creep - how do you do that ? I find that once a gang of righteous thugs have started killing me then it's impossible to do anything but stand still until they've finished - and it's so mechanical and depressing when you already know how it ends. How do you break away from such situations ?
#5: I always never let go on the High Profile when I'm parkouring. Got that down. #4: I love fights, so why not go there, gun's blazing? Forget about Medicine. Check. #3: I always use parries, don't worry about it. Also got that on the checklist. #2: Guns are overrated, axes and swords FTW! Yep. Another check. #1: Since I'm perfect with my parries and hiding in the crowd as always, forget about using smokes. Arno has lung problems. Let me put a check on that. Yay! I've become the very thing I swore not to do! But jokes aside, I learned a lot playing AC Unity in free roam, and everything's a walk in a "parkour". I've become efficient in parkours, easily swept the enemies away consistently, and I know how to climb trees!
I feel like you’re the only person who still plays Unity and makes content for it. I’m new on PC so does anyone have a club that has the club statue unlocked? I had it on Xbox, but it’s impossible to get now that club competitions are gone
In my opinion: Smoke bomb = quick aggressive stealth playstyle No smoke bomb = slow safe stealth playstyle And personally, I think Unity (along with all other AC games except AC Origins) is designed to be suited better for quick aggressive stealth playstyle
Indeed. Honestly, even Origins Stealth plays insanely fast-paced and aggressive once you mark everyone with Senu and start rushing them down with Sleep-Dart spam. :P One of the faster ones in the series, if you know what you're doing, since you can instantly recover from a mistake in that game by sleep-darting in the middle of combat.
If you decide to flee a fight (why would you even do that) then it's important to remember to only run in a straight line instead of turning corners cause that would cause the enemies to lose you and we don't want that
0:50 well I've had low profiles that are like 5 seconds long for example the one where you stab them in the throat and arno just sits there for 5 seconds and high profiles that are quick as hell like the one where arno runs and stabs the target while running
On average, you will regain control of your character much faster if you prioritize doing Low Profile stabs over High Profile stabs, and on a macro level, you will attract less attention with those Low Profile anims, whether fast or slow -- which means losing less time to combat states. Therefore, it's _generally_ a smart idea to maintain using Low Profile stabs. Obviously do what you want, it's your game, but this has been tested over hundreds of hours across dozens of different scenarios. It works.
Really cool video! Almost had me at the start, but you sort of made it obvious later. Also can you make a "bad tips" video for wall running? I accidentally have done one step wall runs, but don't know where and how to use them consistently. The PC controls for wall eject work, but Arno doesn't seem to catch what I want him to. Is there a connection between my camera angle and where he decides to jump?
Wallrunning and Climbing? Maybe, yeah. Regarding Camera, yes! Camera determines whether Arno will eject to something. Best to turn the cam so the target-obstacle is directly to the right or left of Arno, then do High Profile + Left/Right.
@@LeoKRogue Thanks! Also, I struggle a bit with the game, so your videos give cool inspiration. BTW you forgot the easiest way to be bad at the game: playing coop without a mic
I LOVE UR VIDEOS. Ur irony and so on. Go On! I am so glad someone like u makes videos about unity. Still. in 2019. This means this is an amazing game. Just wrong company. UBI-SOFT.
I did this years ago, not sure if it had been done to death or not by then unfortunately, but this is the only video of its type, since it immediately bored me after doing just one, so take that as you will xD
Have you considered making a parkour version of this. Some of us may have the severe problem of being able to climb a building properly. That's not good. We need to know how to take 5 minutes to climb one structure.
I kinda don't used smokes (cause i ain't no bitch, i want a challenge) and did not bought the stagering strike skill (cause it seemed useless) and i finished the game very well with a good % . I did played Stealth (so yea not a lot of combat for the strike thing). What saved me is DISGUISE. Oooh the skill of stealth 😍😍😍😍😍. Beautiful gameplay with that
Mhm! Very possible, if you're good enough to play that way. Unity No Upgrades is a very intriguing challenge: ruclips.net/video/9b1pV3K8ooY/видео.html The tips in this video are for players who are genuinely struggling. UHH, I MEAN, STRUGGLING TO BE BAD. Right. Phew. Good save.
Godlike. That impresses me a lot. The reason why it's harder to play without it is because a critical mass of enemies will attack you so frequently that you become unable to take _any_ Actions except Parrying and Rolling. Since the Knockdown from a Staggering Strike can be immediately done off of a Perfect Parry, it's the most benefit in the least amount of Time, and Time is what you have none of when you're surrounded. If you can play _without_ it and _still_ succeed, that means you either don't engage with high numbers of enemies (which is good) or you use items liberally in combat (which is also good).
(#4) i got in these situation more than 10 times . What i did was spamed smokes and spamped quick shots 😂 I dont know i clicked here. Btw love ur videos and u😍
Dude I definitely understand the high profile one but and idk why but letting go of the button used to run and move fast as I climb feels so wrong for some reason😭
Hopefully you get used to it. In racing games you don't want to be stepping on the gas constantly, right? Even great racers and drivers in real life don't constantly do that, they let off the gas, or brake to control their speed. Same thing here.
Lol "it's one thing not to let off of high profile in stealth. That's easy. But if you want to be pretty bad, you can also forget to let off of high profile whenever you need finer control" In AC1 you had to hold at least two whole buttons, non stop, to be this consistently bad at the game. Glad they finally fixed that. Can't be having these massive skill gaps in sucking at it. On a side note, the chorus for the song "Mailman" by Soundgarden is my new personal soundtrack for when I play AC. I have it on a loop, just the chorus, playing over and over again. It helps me have a real sense of purpose in sucking so bad.
Thoughts on the High Profile Double Assassinate? I feel the animations for it are about as fast as a low profile single Assassinate and it's pretty consistent in terms of animations.
@@LeoKRogue Is the high noise really that much of a concern? If you're using the smoke bomb strat then it doesn't matter how loud you are since you're killing everybody nearby that would hear you anyway. And if someone does hear you, it's not like it's a gunshot where they would be more alert or bring everybody to investigate.
I'm pretty confused on how to enter manholes or go down a ladder from a rooftop into a room because it tends to just leap..? I've been watching your videos as well, and I'm kinda trying to implement your advices onto my gameplay, thanks a lot for them
@@LeoKRogue Ahh, okay i'll try that! Thanks a lot for responding, and if it's possible is there any way to boost the number of fps in-game? I'm currently playing with the 4:3 aspect ratio with stretching on, and the fps tends to drop in crowded places
@@LeoKRogue Ahh it's fine, you've helped a lot by providing insight into different ways on how i can improve my gameplay through your videos. Keep making videos. :)
Ah, a place I can call home, where I am surrounded by fellow ninja stealth mans, with the uncompromising desire to kill everyone without them actually seeing you.

hi ! #3
Quickshot is what happens when you press the Projectile Button fast without holding it. If you have enough damage it will instantly kill. Instakill just means it's a guaranteed kill that you can Trust and don't have to worry about. Enemies on their back will always be instakilled by any Quickshot on them from any item.
@@LeoKRogue thanks ,, now i understood well !!
i used smoke bombs just to exit in style after i killed every enemy that saw me and after i used all my med kits. I used berserk blades only on bosses so they could die by their allyes hands.I kept bullets to shot chests so i can open them after i used all my lockpicks (it seems it doesn't work like irl), but the thing that i always did is to kill the remaining low hp poisoned enemies with phantom blades.
This is how you became a master at bad playing.
You're amazing, even better than I tried to teach. Bless you.
Wait a minute... You can open locked chests by shooting at them!? 👀
(You can't, it's a meme.)
@@SuhiroSenpai he said he lockpicked the chest and then shot it
Trying to play the game without smoke bombs forces you to learn more about AI behavior and become more observant of guard patrol patterns.
It forces you to be more perceptive.
And if you can do that, you become less reliant on smoke bombs. Sure, the use of smoke bombs speeds up your stealth gameplay, but what would you do if you didn't have them? That's where training yourself to go without them comes into play.
Over-reliance on smokebombs is a problem because it can potentially hurt your stealth skills, making your movements more reckless and your understanding of unsmoked AI behavior less acute.
(Also, there were a few unnecessary uses of smoke bombs, phantom blades and berserk blades in this video; one could even argue these unnecessary uses were overuse.)
My Playstyle is very item heavy and high-execution. "Overuse" is Relative. I'm already making a Low Item vs High Item playstyle overview but if you're the kind of person who doesn't need smoke you're also the kind of player who wouldn't gain anything from this video we're now commenting on. (Or maybe you would? You could learn to wield both etc)
"Unnecessary" is *also* relative. Unnecessary in what context? Each and every use of Smoke or Berserk in this video was done to play a part in a specific purpose, for a specific reason. They all had a function and weren't used "just 'cus." There is a *noticeable* difference to a player just using everything, and a player who's highly aware of how every item works and what situations are Right for each one.
Now, as a matter of personal enjoyment (and because it's really Flashy and that's what Viewers like to see >__>) I'd never trade the incredibly high speed of a highAPM, itemheavy style for anything, and it's important to know *how* to play both. Otherwise you're really only trying half the game and can't really choose. But it IS the easiest way to see a huge jump in efficacy, IMMEDIATELY, and that's what a lot of players need in order to get started.
ruclips.net/video/mYP_I0DLnLM/видео.html People also tend to find something like this way less entertaining than juggling ten-billion items as fast as possible, so RIP me I guess. No matter what I do, someone will have a word for me xD
Thanks for the feedback though, you touched on some things that are already in the upcoming LowItem v HighItem guide. ^__^
@@LeoKRogue I don't personally view it as overuse, because you weren't dumping consumables at enemy after enemy until you ran out. That would constitute overuse in my eyes, which is why I started with unnecessary because I thought it fit better with what I saw.
Maybe it's just a product of the way I play games, because I tend to shy away from consumables in almost any game in favor of a more raw experience. It's just a habit I've picked up since I was a kid. "What if I waste it now, when I could REALLY need it later?" type mindset. I only ever use consumables in games if I view it as an absolute necessity in the situation I find myself in. If I use Skyrim as an example, I stock up on Health and Stamina potions and sell all the others because I don't use them. I also don't bother with enchanting because I sell the soul gems used to recharge enchanted items.
But yeah, I'll definitely check out that video; though I doubt you'll be able to break me from my "What if I need it later?" mindset haha
Trust me dude, it's SO freeing to be able to use items when you are capable of Identifying specific, high-impact scenarios, and then save all of the rest for another time you really need them.
The logic goes essentially that, If I use them all excessively, I'm not getting their real value, and likewise if I horde them completely, I'm also not getting any value. They're in the game for a reason. (That said, there are some games that are notorious for making me do this too. Bloodborne - Iosefka's Blood Vial. Yeah I'm holding onto that always xD)
There's like this... Pocket that is strongest in the middle of both of those, and I'm generally leaned out on the side of using them too much (because Shops are too ezpz in ACU) but yeah, that clutch line in the middle is legitimately ideal. I'm *hoping* to be able to teach people that, cus god damn, it gets so much fun. Like... I consider that upcoming vid one of my more important ones cus it can potentially let people try stuff they didn't realize was possible. That's my fave thing right there. :D
@@LeoKRogue I use items in ACU, don't get me wrong, I'm just a LOT more discriminative than you seem to be. I've done a playthrough without using any consumables other then healing, lock picks, and pistols, so I've gotten better at keeping myself hidden and waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike. So if I use a smoke bomb or one of the 2 projectile blades, it's because I don't see any other option in the given situation.
That sounds super fun! Have you ever done a No Upgrades run? I really recommend it, it's definitely something that tests how precise you need to be with items throughout the entire game. ruclips.net/video/9b1pV3K8ooY/видео.html

Thanks Pixie, more subs would be a wonderful thing. That said, I'm quite appreciative of everyone who is already here :D

I think it would cool to see him play with less tools personally, he has more than enough knowledge to be really impressive but how can he show his skills when he always uses a tool along with his knowledge such as when he uses berserk blades
I'm SO glad I found this video - I've been having much difficulty further illuminating the inconsistent nature of Unity's design in my moment-to-moment play! RUclipsrs like Treviso, and even yourself, have a wealth of content that has failed to aid me on my journey to the skill floor, though I'm glad it seems like you've had a change of heart, and have begun to consider folks like me! I'll be sure to share this on the Assassin's Creed subreddit to spread the Unity love! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've got your back, Toa. Hundreds of Unity players every year suffer from being accidentally good at the game, and the plague of high-skill Stealth videos from RUclipsrs like Treviso and myself have only exacerbated the problem. I just thought, I had to give back a little, y'know...? I'm happy I was able to help you out, you and viewers like you are the reason I'm still kickin'!
First time I finished the game I didnt use staggering strike once🤔
Honestly, me too! :P
Sven Haase same here
When did you beat it
Living on the edge is playing full stealth while only using high profile movement and never using smoke bombs.
Eldritch power, unfathomable.
Best video yet Leo. Love how you take one for the team in making this, making sure we can all suck at this game, how we can get that “juicy desync.” Next time I play this game, I’m going to hear your calm voice encouraging me to be the best I can be at sucking at AC Unity. I look forward to increasing my “scrubness” and being “reckless.” Gonna have a blast! Thanks!
Thank you Wolfy~!
Thanks, I had a whale of a time sucking at Unity. It's hilarious to have a supposedly stealth mission just crumble into chaos every once in a while, especially when you surprisingly don't fail in the end.
Everything goes right until the moment it all goes wrong. :P
Man, how do you only have 10k subscribers? This stuff is gold!
Thank you! If you know people who would enjoy watching me, definitely let them know.
Check out my Hoarders Stealth Reaper video, as well as my Commented Playthroughs or Rogue Academy playlist.
@@LeoKRogue I've been slowly watching through a ton of stuff, and it's all well done and entertaining. I've already told a few of my buddies about this channel. I'm trying to build a desktop right now to get back into gaming a bit, I have every AC game except odyssey and origins on steam haha.
My problem with projectiles is that I use all of them and then forget to restock for the next 20 missions
That is a massive issue that can be solved by replaying missions until you learn how to deploy fewer tools in order to harvest greater numbers of enemies. And if you notice yourself running low on items, train yourself to Open Map, Mark Shop, Run to Shop, Restock. This is totally fixable ^__^
Gotta say, I am VERY bad at number 5.
Also I don't think I've ever used phantom blades in combat, or done the berserk blade trick. They're just too valuable!
Great self-awareness haha. Load up a mission you enjoy, I like to practice on La Halle aux Bles, and practice using your items on guards in different ways like that. You're going to end up going back to a Shop eventually and ACU has a very fast Refill All button in shops for exactly this reason. At first it'll feel weird but as you try it more and more you'll realize how easy it gets.
La Halle aux Bles is my fave because it's a stealth area with just enough guards for good training and a great layout that tests Movement without being too cramped.
@@LeoKRogue My favorite is L'observatoire. Whenever I feel like I need to practice using different tools or playing with guards AI I go there. It has a good amount of enemies to keep you on edge while you're still on the ground and lets you play with differents heights for projectiles
I jumped into the AC series late (few months ago) and am now playing through Unity. I'm good at not using blades in combat, but I failed at not using smoke and accidentally got somewhat okay. Really well done vid, and I didn't expect to find anyone still putting out content on the game so that's awesome.
That's alright, it's totally fine to be about in the middle of things in terms of the skill spectrum. We all start somewhere and it doesn't really matter how good or bad we are, just that we keep growing. Thank you for the compliments, as well. :D
Honestly, this could be used as a means of getting better at it, which may have been the ulterior motive behind this video.
Oh man... That would be genius.
I started playing Unity some days ago, because it was free, and I'm already at like the 25th rank and with 5 golden diamonds, but I never heard or thought of any of those tips. Your videos are so enjoyable for me, because you love the game as much as I learned to in a few days.
Please keep it up! 👍🏼
Thanks for the support! I'll keep going!
I got recommended one of your videos about Unity and I remembered I didn't play it for like 2 years, I just started a new game so thank you for these tips. I'll definitely never use smokes sir don't worry.
Happy to have you! I'm glad I was able to help you become utterly horrid at this game, just doing my part! :D
And never use cherry bombs or the last known position mechanic to lure enemies towards your direction.
HUUUUGE
Ngl I completely forgot about staggering strike for the whole game, still beat all the sequences with ease doe, I basically just relied on my parry skills the whole game and tbh I think I liked that more id gather large groups of enemies pop a smoke than when the smoke goes away all the enemies are dead. When I used staggering strike after I finished the game I realized how useful it would’ve been in many situations if I remembered it
Definitely. All jokes and caustic humor aside, AC Unity is one of those games in which there's a good amount of stuff to learn and keep in your head at once, and the more you do learn and remember, the more fun you tend to have.
I'm glad this guide exists. There's this guy called Leo K [Rogue] that's all "ooo I'm so good at stealth, bloody hell". Nice to see a TRUE gamer giving advice. Thank you, L30 K [Rouge]
Bless you, Shibe-san.
Whenever I use staggering attack, another enemy will also strike you. It's pretty annoying to use in a group fight.
That generally hasn't been my experience if done off of a Perfect Parry, but if there are too many people around you, sure, the chance of being hit is greater.
I had no idea the staggering strike was this good. My approach was always "perfect parry one dude, and then strong strike his friend since at least 1 guard is already stunned" or "try strong attacking people with guns since they can't fight back" or "Dodge Roll then Strong Strike:. I imagine you could replace Strong Strike with Staggering Strike.
@@LeoKRogue
I can confirm it's pretty common.

It's one of the only times I tried to be funny haha
@@LeoKRogue You should try some more comedy. Obviously it's frequently lost on the internet, but you handle sarcasm well
I'd love to see more videos in this style.
By the looks of the statistics, so would everyone else >:]

Good hidden joke there, but also yes. Can confirm. I always run constantly and take my time with stealth. I have been watching your videos to get better lol.
I'm glad I can help hahaha
I was so conditioned by AC4 combat system going into it, playing unity recently handed my smoke bomb allergic ass on a platter.
That's a relatable feeling. It did that to me too. :P
@@LeoKRogue Random question, what's the reasoning behind high profile being mapped to right mouse click? I been trying to improve on my movement. right click to me seems unnatural.
@@reignandbongao9497 High Profile movement requires fine camera control; it makes perfect sense to have your Camera and your High Profile button be on the same Hand. Assassin's Creed 1 to Rogue also all have High Profile be Right Mouse by default, I think, for that reason. I just use Ubi's OG keybinds instead of accepting their new ones, because they're bad. :P
@@LeoKRogue I vaguely recall playing ac3 and 4 with right click, but that was more than half a decade ago lol. Guess time to chip away the muscle memory. Where will quickshot go then?
@@reignandbongao9497 My Quickshot/Aim goes on Middle-Click. Again because this is an action that should be on the same hand as camera-movement. Ultimately though, play with whatever inputs are good for you. I use these because they're effective for me and give me the highest degree of control.
I unironically avoided all these tips back in the day when I started to game, just straight out forced myself to rambo with Arno, AKA suicide.

I recently started playing this game again. I remember really enjoying it when it came out and I didn’t have any issues like others were reporting.... I never beat the game but do remember having a ton of fun. I forgot how hard this game can be and how complicated its mechanics are. It’s great but I’m terrible xD this was actually quite helpful thanks. My biggest issue right now is co op just because it can sometimes be hard to get people matched, but I want the outfits you can only get by doing it... and solo co op especially early in the game can be brutal
Aw, thank you!
Yeah some of the later Co Op memories can be quite hard, work your way up to them slowly and finish them one step at a time.
Thanks dude I really wanted to be bad I freaking love you
I'm so glad!
Hey man, I really enjoy your content. I always liked the looks of Assassins Creed, and the beginning of this year i bought Odyssey. I only started playing Unity because it was free, I actually wanted to next play part one. I really find your videos helpful and i can really feel that you enjoy the game you are talking about. Good Luck! You deserve way more subs!
AC1 is my favorite game ever made, so I hope you enjoy it. :D It is very old and may frustrate you at times but it is very, very special to me and I've never played another game like it since.
I watched almost all of your videos about ACU in these last few days, and I think you deserve more views and subscribers
Élise! No!
Thank you so much for this video. Now I know how to go from Legend to recruit
Excellent. Godspeed!
I know I'm late, but I was tired at being so good at this game. I booted it up the first time in a long time, and i was just having great parkour flow here to there, i even had a few ocasional stealth reaper runs. These are really too much fun. This tutorial and tips really got me to suck at unity and I'm really hating it. Thank you very Much Leo Rogue.
I'm so happy to help, I think way too many people are amazing at this game and they need to skill down a little bit.
@@LeoKRogue I'm reality though, I love your tutorials and appreciate them. This niche community of AC youtubers is great. And this video in particular was so funny and satirical and a great change of pace!!!
hahaha, thank you ^__^
Thanks I will definitely use these tips 👍
You're very welcome! :P
Finally I can be terrible at AC Unity thank you so much for the tips
Hey man just wanted to say this... Thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us. I really regretted buying AC unity at first because of how seemingly hard it was compared to the others, but all that changed once i came by your channel. I’ve gotten much much better at the game and it’s the best AC game imo. I even recorded a few missions on my channel doing some light stabbing work. Keep making great content ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! I'm glad you've felt like you're improving, Unity is definitely a game that rewards Knowledge and understanding. If you know how everything works, you immediately notice how much easier it becomes.
Leo K [Rogue] Yeahh... I’m sad ubi won’t make a game as beautiful as this, since they’re finding success with Witcher 3 clones and a dumbed down stealth system...😔
Honestly I just got unity a few days ago after absolutely massacring the other games, and to be fair the game has a lot of bad things. BUT it’s the only coop AC and it’s genuinely fun when it’s not bugging out or messing up. Oh and by the way, I found you last night and I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos. Keep it up and I appreciate your dedication to the game.
The game does have a bunch of bad things, absolutely.
I mention that in this video: ruclips.net/video/nNDjcukuVns/видео.html
In it, I talk about how the game is beyond messed up, but it's still pretty special. Thanks for the kind words. :D
I tried this but I didn’t die enough 0/10 would never die again
At least you did your best.
This was hilarious. This is pretty much the perfect way to make a tutorial as entertaining as possible
Happy to hear -- I didn't know if it would land :P Looks like it's doing just fine though.
Leo K [Rogue] i think it landed perfectly. But then again i do love some good sarcasm
This is such a charming way to point all these issues out... I really smirked, grinned and laughed my way through it... 😂😂
Thanks for accidentely improving my playstyle back then... ;)
Thank you Jae! ^__^ I was about to send this to you because I figured you'd probably smile at it hahaha
You're very welcome, good to see you around :D
@@LeoKRogue I'll probably never be really gone... Even if I may not stand around the next corner having someone's back...
Nice to know to be in some thoughts sometimes... :)
Watching this video made me realise I never even once used staggering strike in any of my playthroughs of this game and I have no idea how I survived
You're just that good. Technically you don't haaaave to use any of these tips, it just makes the game way harder and messier if you don't. If you can still succeed without them, you're just a good player who has no trouble.
Well goddamn, didn't expect the goat to answer me directly on this!
Discovered your channel very recently and I'm loving your content, it really reignited my love for this series man!
I love this channel for the reasons shown in this video, what he says is so douchey out of context but it’s not here, he’s just that damn good
hahahaha, thanks
THANK YOU. I was getting very annoyed. Ubisoft didn't break their game enough, I was too good. Now I can finally play this game correctly.
I'm glad to help!
@@LeoKRogue (Sadly I might be actually bad, after not playing a while. I'm in mental pain after the Unity disc broke a month back. Black Flag and the Ezio Collection is keeping me company until I can buy it again.)

The berserk effect is "contagious"
Yupyup, best place to see that in action is It Belongs In A Museum.
im very good at the game but im still assasinating only in highprofile because the animations just look so good
That's a good reason. :P

I do, when it launches. :P I still have a lot of crash-bugs and I'm running it with modest settings on a really strong computer.
Leo K [Rogue] cool.do you have it on ps4 because I am gonna replay it soon and I’d love to play multiplayer with you
Not anymore x_x
I have never figured out why people always talk about the staggering strike like it is the most important skill in combat. I have been playing Unity for a few years and never even used it until recently and did fine. I have yet to come across a situation where staggering strike could be used where a heavy attack wouldn't be the better option especially with a long weapon. Like why stun an enemy when I can take half his health away instead? The long weapon makes this even worse for the staggering strike since it does what 2 staggering strikes do instantly. Honestly I want to find a situation to use a staggering strike but I just can't justify using it over a heavy attack
"People" don't talk about it. I do. I popularized this idea, because it's True.
The point is not to do Staggering Strike x 2, the point is to do Perfect Parry -> Staggering Strike. Why is this so strong? A few reasons. It's universal, usable agnostic of weapon type, and opens Instant Kills. What more do you need?
Let me explain further. We're not even going to touch on the fact that Long Weapon sweep takes charge-time and you can be interrupted out of it. God-Combo defends you by starting off of a Perfect Parry, and kills enemies faster on average than _anything else in the game_ except Stealth Kills, all without needing any Stats whatsoever. You can do this at Level 0/Level 1 Arno and still kill max-diamond Agiles/Defenders. Again, we need to stress this works regardless of Statistical Disparity, whereas Heavy Attack efficacy is determined by your Stats. Do you see what's happening here?
One kills *ABSOLUTELY.*
One kills if *built* for.
THAT'S the difference, and it doesn't require any specific equipment except for any projectile, which you'd still end up using with spears anyway.
Obviously if you're lategame/endgame, yeah, use your Sword of Eden, or your Eagle of Suger, or what-have-you and just Hold Heavy on everyone, but until you reach that point (and, contextually, even when you do) God-Combos are just too strong and resolve fights too fast to leave on the table. You do you, though.
i love the irony in this one, and thx man, your videos make me appreciate much more what a good game Unity is
Thanks! ^__^
Not everyone seems to realize this video isn't made from my authentic personality, but rather a creation of comedy, so it's nice to see people click with it and appreciate the theatre haha
Believe it or not the thing is I was following some of these tips, so this video is of great help to show what not to do, it is ofttimes even more efficient than to teach what to do lmao
I believe it! All jokes derive from some sort of truth, and the reason I chose _these_ 5 mistakes to talk about is because they're the ones players are most likely to be doing or to know about. :D If it helped you at all, it absolutely served its purpose.
I really enjoyed this video thank you!
Awesome
i do high profile whenever it is possible (when the enemies are far away from eachother) just because i like the animations so much
Totally understandable, it has greater Range and lets you lunge at enemies from farther away too.
Thank you. I doubt that it will improve my performance, but listening to you is somehow comforting. But it's all very well pointing out that running from hopeless odds is essential for anyone who aspires to be a creep - how do you do that ? I find that once a gang of righteous thugs have started killing me then it's impossible to do anything but stand still until they've finished - and it's so mechanical and depressing when you already know how it ends. How do you break away from such situations ?
I've actually finished the game without staggering strike. And at max level, I just use the heavy sword hit (hold attack button).
Awesome ^__^
#5: I always never let go on the High Profile when I'm parkouring. Got that down.
#4: I love fights, so why not go there, gun's blazing? Forget about Medicine. Check.
#3: I always use parries, don't worry about it. Also got that on the checklist.
#2: Guns are overrated, axes and swords FTW! Yep. Another check.
#1: Since I'm perfect with my parries and hiding in the crowd as always, forget about using smokes. Arno has lung problems. Let me put a check on that.
Yay! I've become the very thing I swore not to do! But jokes aside, I learned a lot playing AC Unity in free roam, and everything's a walk in a "parkour". I've become efficient in parkours, easily swept the enemies away consistently, and I know how to climb trees!
Good job.
This is a very interesting approach.
I'm glad you think so. :)
Finally, something I'm good at (sucking at AC Unity).
It's something we've _all_ been amazing at, some day in our pasts.
Thanks i was really good at the game. Hopefully this will make me a noob.😂
Perfect. >:)
I feel like you’re the only person who still plays Unity and makes content for it. I’m new on PC so does anyone have a club that has the club statue unlocked? I had it on Xbox, but it’s impossible to get now that club competitions are gone
There are one or two of us.
In my opinion:
Smoke bomb = quick aggressive stealth playstyle
No smoke bomb = slow safe stealth playstyle
And personally, I think Unity (along with all other AC games except AC Origins) is designed to be suited better for quick aggressive stealth playstyle
Indeed. Honestly, even Origins Stealth plays insanely fast-paced and aggressive once you mark everyone with Senu and start rushing them down with Sleep-Dart spam. :P One of the faster ones in the series, if you know what you're doing, since you can instantly recover from a mistake in that game by sleep-darting in the middle of combat.
I find myself doing #5-#2 all the time. Now I know I am really suck at this game.
Everything on this list was stuff I used to do all the time until I figured out not to, so don't worry. :P
If you decide to flee a fight (why would you even do that) then it's important to remember to only run in a straight line instead of turning corners cause that would cause the enemies to lose you and we don't want that
This is a VERY good point!
The ac odyssey of Leo K videos
This video is legendary. v_v
@@LeoKRogue damn i haven't had a youtuber reply on my comment its a miracle
Haha, well, congrats on your first one then.
0:50 well I've had low profiles that are like 5 seconds long for example the one where you stab them in the throat and arno just sits there for 5 seconds and high profiles that are quick as hell like the one where arno runs and stabs the target while running
On average, you will regain control of your character much faster if you prioritize doing Low Profile stabs over High Profile stabs, and on a macro level, you will attract less attention with those Low Profile anims, whether fast or slow -- which means losing less time to combat states.
Therefore, it's _generally_ a smart idea to maintain using Low Profile stabs. Obviously do what you want, it's your game, but this has been tested over hundreds of hours across dozens of different scenarios. It works.
@@LeoKRogue ok i trust you your about 10 million times better than me
Really cool video! Almost had me at the start, but you sort of made it obvious later.
Also can you make a "bad tips" video for wall running? I accidentally have done one step wall runs, but don't know where and how to use them consistently. The PC controls for wall eject work, but Arno doesn't seem to catch what I want him to. Is there a connection between my camera angle and where he decides to jump?
Wallrunning and Climbing? Maybe, yeah. Regarding Camera, yes! Camera determines whether Arno will eject to something. Best to turn the cam so the target-obstacle is directly to the right or left of Arno, then do High Profile + Left/Right.
@@LeoKRogue Thanks! Also, I struggle a bit with the game, so your videos give cool inspiration.
BTW you forgot the easiest way to be bad at the game: playing coop without a mic
Great video, really helped
I'm glad. v_v
I used to be like that :( but you made me rediscover ac unity
I'm glad. ^__^
Thank you for the tips, now I can be a burden for every single person I ever play with in multiplayer
Wonderful.
I LOVE UR VIDEOS. Ur irony and so on. Go On! I am so glad someone like u makes videos about unity. Still. in 2019. This means this is an amazing game. Just wrong company. UBI-SOFT.
Thank you so much Tornike :D I'll definitely keep going.
*meanwhile I get detected every mission and fight 37 guards at a time*
Getting detected and fighting 37 guards is the first step to never being seen and fighting no one~
I’m so aesthetic based that this game just feels the smoothest to me
Fair enough!
Thanks. I always wanted to suck at the game
Now you can. Alternatively, you _could_ do the opposite of all these if, _for SOME reason_ you actually want to be good like some weirdo.
I wish this guy was enthusiastic enough to spice up the basic sarcasm that's been done to death on youtube
I did this years ago, not sure if it had been done to death or not by then unfortunately, but this is the only video of its type, since it immediately bored me after doing just one, so take that as you will xD
first of all .. i dont understand what leo k talking about,,finally i found this video title is "5 Tips To Be Terrible" ,, me ,, oohh
>;]
Have you considered making a parkour version of this. Some of us may have the severe problem of being able to climb a building properly. That's not good. We need to know how to take 5 minutes to climb one structure.
Parkour is unfortunately not that deep in Unity. :(
There aren't too many mistakes a player can even make. I'll think about it though.
I kinda don't used smokes (cause i ain't no bitch, i want a challenge) and did not bought the stagering strike skill (cause it seemed useless) and i finished the game very well with a good % .
I did played Stealth (so yea not a lot of combat for the strike thing). What saved me is DISGUISE. Oooh the skill of stealth 😍😍😍😍😍. Beautiful gameplay with that
Mhm! Very possible, if you're good enough to play that way.
Unity No Upgrades is a very intriguing challenge: ruclips.net/video/9b1pV3K8ooY/видео.html
The tips in this video are for players who are genuinely struggling. UHH, I MEAN, STRUGGLING TO BE BAD. Right. Phew. Good save.
I’m sacreligious, I don’t use staggering strike but I’m somehow really good at combat
Godlike. That impresses me a lot. The reason why it's harder to play without it is because a critical mass of enemies will attack you so frequently that you become unable to take _any_ Actions except Parrying and Rolling. Since the Knockdown from a Staggering Strike can be immediately done off of a Perfect Parry, it's the most benefit in the least amount of Time, and Time is what you have none of when you're surrounded. If you can play _without_ it and _still_ succeed, that means you either don't engage with high numbers of enemies (which is good) or you use items liberally in combat (which is also good).
Keep the unity videos comming.
Now give us movement guide
I've got a lot of fun ideas.
@@LeoKRogue i have played black flag origins odyssey. after i played unity i now understand why origins and odyssey are bad (AC) games. unity is so OP
Unity is such a unique and special game, I really like it. If I'm still playing it after five years, there must be something going on there haha
Instructions unclear
I chopped my ring finger off
That is within acceptable parameters. Occupational hazard, y'know?
(#4) i got in these situation more than 10 times . What i did was spamed smokes and spamped quick shots 😂
I dont know i clicked here.
Btw love ur videos and u😍
LMAO, if it works, it works. Thank you xD
Thanks for amaizing tips was so halpful
You're welcome ;]
I only use high profile attack when I'm sure the target is alone or if it's the last target.
Dude I definitely understand the high profile one but and idk why but letting go of the button used to run and move fast as I climb feels so wrong for some reason😭
Hopefully you get used to it. In racing games you don't want to be stepping on the gas constantly, right? Even great racers and drivers in real life don't constantly do that, they let off the gas, or brake to control their speed. Same thing here.
If there's still someone who asks for more advices then they need to give up on real AC games and just embrace the new rpg ones
I think people who ask for Advice are way Stronger than people who just surrender. I'm a teacher. A teacher without any students is Worthless.
How to be terrible at the game: Don’t press E when going over obstacles 1:59
Another amazing one, very good eye. Not many noticed that and I was waiting for it.
Lol
"it's one thing not to let off of high profile in stealth. That's easy. But if you want to be pretty bad, you can also forget to let off of high profile whenever you need finer control"
In AC1 you had to hold at least two whole buttons, non stop, to be this consistently bad at the game. Glad they finally fixed that. Can't be having these massive skill gaps in sucking at it.
On a side note, the chorus for the song "Mailman" by Soundgarden is my new personal soundtrack for when I play AC. I have it on a loop, just the chorus, playing over and over again. It helps me have a real sense of purpose in sucking so bad.
[nod nod]
lmao i forgot the title and im confused af
hahaha
Thoughts on the High Profile Double Assassinate? I feel the animations for it are about as fast as a low profile single Assassinate and it's pretty consistent in terms of animations.
Yeah, it's pretty good. Just makes more noise but is generally pretty great.
@@LeoKRogue Is the high noise really that much of a concern? If you're using the smoke bomb strat then it doesn't matter how loud you are since you're killing everybody nearby that would hear you anyway. And if someone does hear you, it's not like it's a gunshot where they would be more alert or bring everybody to investigate.
I'm pretty confused on how to enter manholes or go down a ladder from a rooftop into a room because it tends to just leap..? I've been watching your videos as well, and I'm kinda trying to implement your advices onto my gameplay, thanks a lot for them
You're welcome Shin! Usually I would hold Drop/Loot without holding High Profile, then just move downward with WASD/Left Stick
@@LeoKRogue Ahh, okay i'll try that! Thanks a lot for responding, and if it's possible is there any way to boost the number of fps in-game? I'm currently playing with the 4:3 aspect ratio with stretching on, and the fps tends to drop in crowded places
I'm not very knowledgeable about that. Sorry T_T
@@LeoKRogue Ahh it's fine, you've helped a lot by providing insight into different ways on how i can improve my gameplay through your videos. Keep making videos. :)
I'll be terrible at this game because of you :'(
Aw, you poor baby... :[
I seriously got the platinum of this game and never done those things...
You're a god.
Ah, a place I can call home, where I am surrounded by fellow ninja stealth mans, with the uncompromising desire to kill everyone without them actually seeing you.
(All this based after all the hundreds of runs through the Arkham games and restarting predator encounters numerous times to do it as fast and un seen as possible, because it’s Batman, not run in and punch everyone man)
You've got the right idea. Stealth Reaper and Ghost all the way.
Thanks to this video I can now earn Fight Survivor creed points :P
Godspeed, Assassin! :P
