That's is looking really nice man !!!!!!! Damn musket are really strong in closed space i didn't knew that, lol the nxt. weapon i m trying after poleaxe is musket for sure By the way - Nice gameplay by the way🤘👍
I used to be one of the top ranked muskets (top 50 or so) in around season 1, so believe me when i say you need the escape skill Skirmish. Also i don't really regard STR musket as very viable, sure it can work and it can show a lot of numbers but so many of the skills don't depend on you but on what you face. You can go entire matches without facing opponents that can be burned and a lot of units can generally ignore caltrops (Skirmish also uses caltrops so you can use that if you see a cav charge). But of course if you feel like it works for you i suggest you just enjoy yourself doing what you want, that alone is hard enough with this game at times :)
Thanks for the tips! I'm playing this very basic setup to build muscle memory for the weapon so Im using 'safe + easy' skills and I hope to diversify into and Agi build eventually.
I play as grenadier with skirmish skill. Its fun. I have more survivalbility than when I do LS because of the escape skill. Its fun seeing all the damage numbers pop up as well.
can i ask you a question? i want to play musket, but i am bad at aim, then my idea is play it more support way like scatter shot, gunpowder for raise ult dmg, caltrops, the bomb and be full strengh and runs for blunt and crit. basicly trow the bomb everytime is possible ( every 38s) with calltrops and with gunpowder skill. can be valiable way to play musket or is completly nonsense :D. thx for answer.
@@jakubbubela9361 The caltrop and all bombs playstyle on FULL strengh is very powerfull in team plays. If you go that way I would not advice to go scatter and/or fine gunpowder. You can basically stop charges with caltrops and fire bomb, break shield formations with ult and harass range units all in one build. Though you lose all potential for hero assassination its actually the build you'll see on muskets for TW most of the time. I'm not a fan of fire bomb because of the very long cooldown and very small splash explosion radius, I'd trade that with skirmisher. It gives you an escape plus an other caltrops to stop cav or melee charges. At the end of the day there is no 'bad' way to play musket other than never forget to bring black powder bomb. It depends on what role you want to fulfill in the team.
I have been swapping weapons ever since I started playing a couple of months ago. It keeps the game fresh for me, and I quite like it, Musket is a massive pain in the ass to level up skills though, so you were a lot better off using the spare skill-points you had laying around. I mained ls for the longest, it was a lot of fun, but I now tend to look at medium armor weapons, playing primarily classes that also deal a lot of dps, when I stat-swap to full strenght I still play ls though, which is quite fun. You can surprise people with the damage you deal.
@@herroberbesserwisser7331 yes, it is. I like musket, but it took a while to level it via other methods, since the shots take too long to reload to get adequate unit kills, and abilities are a large part of the damage musket deals, meaning it is VERY dependent on levelled skills to deal damage. Also, the tactical nuke elite is pretty much mandatory, since it is a large part of the purpose of the musket. Kinda like getting the aoe heal for the longsword, but longsword you can go full strength and deal enough damage with basic attacks to kill units, to get skill points. I will probably swap to strength this week and go play some musket/nodachi/ls. Hell, maybe even dual blades to try to get that elite skill, and I COULD try to level some heavy armor weapons.
I'm still super fresh to Muskett so I'm playing it safe a lot and using a very basic setup. I'm not finding it hard to level tbh, probably because I'm used to LS and that does so little damage that levelling takes forever haha!
The ol' close combat Muskrat :) I still live in fear after coming from Demi-God levels of armor and health - gotta learn when I can push the limits and when I should run like a mouse
Oh it's outright Heresy, no doubt about it. I'm currently in prison awaiting sentencing, probably get burned at the stake or smth. Apparantly "just borrowing it for a little while" wasn't an adequate excuse :)
Call me a noob (because I am), but what I'm asking myself for hours (of watching your videos) is: What do these shorthand symbols stand for? I mean: "DI" , "JC", "LA" I don't have these... Thx and a even bigger THX, for your Videos. They are helping a LOT! (Even moren then ponchos and Evos) :P
I'm rather impressed with it so far but don't take my word for it, I haven't put in many hours with the weapon - some of the other content creators like @rogueafett are also currently playing musket so check out his channel too so you can get more than one opinion :)
Muskrat is actually a melee weapon having a little longer range than other traditional melee Usually the player should focus on melting other hero with its high armor penetration its really ineffective killing corps
Oh totes agree :) I'm not really a muskrat player though so was just having fun yeeting bombs :D Might move to agi headshot melt-boi one day as I up-skill. Currently I'm not good enough with the weapon!
@@KnightStalker In my exp musket is bad for killing units and for pvp its even worse.All it takes for enemy player is to get close to me while i do low or no dmg to him.Only way to kill enemy player is to wait untill other players (or units) get him to very low hp so that i can finish him off.Feels bad tbh.I've been playing for 2-3 months (not very long i know).
Ok so unless you are out there throwing bombs like a spaz (like me in this video) musket is very close to a melee weapon. The strongest way to play it is as an agility build and repeatedly headshot people which kills them very quickly. There is a close combat leg sweep that is very strong and a scattershot to the head while on the ground does tons of damage. Have you watched any guides?
Nice seeing your musket. I would recommend the skill fine gunpowder as it auto reloades your Gun and buffs all damage output by 16% including bomb
Awesome :)
I'm just building muscle memory with the easiest possible build rn, will deff upgrade to complex chaining and nuking as my skill builds up
the camera angle when playing ranged heroes man its killing me
Yah! I feel you.
It's like playing half blind and hurts my awareness and unit management :(
About the "martellatori", if it's italian, "martellatori" literally means "hammerers" so it kinda fits the 1 star unit more than the 5 star unit
Thats a cool fact :) Thanks!
That's is looking really nice man !!!!!!!

By the way -
Nice gameplay by the way🤘👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Blowing stuff up constantly is a ton of fun :)

Did you really say that the iron cap muskets are really cute lol you’re funny man. Don’t get greedy only one tip in this video had me rolling.
Cute as a button :)

I do have a love for huge amounts of damage numbers!
@@KnightStalker Admittedly its also fun to annoy the players on the enemy team.
I mained musket for 700 hours, its definitly a super powerfull weapon in the right hands.

@@KnightStalker i found that once you get bleed on caltrops, and the ult bomb, you start dealing proper damage. I only just got the bleed on caltrops.
I just play musket , all offensive and for damage. Scatter Shot, Fine gunpowder , The kick skill and the bomb. I go places! my man Mushy knows
The ol' close combat Muskrat :)
I still live in fear after coming from Demi-God levels of armor and health - gotta learn when I can push the limits and when I should run like a mouse
@@KnightStalker xD
I hear you're a Musket player now KnightStalker What's the official line the church of the longsword is takin on the subject?
Oh it's outright Heresy, no doubt about it. I'm currently in prison awaiting sentencing, probably get burned at the stake or smth.
Apparantly "just borrowing it for a little while" wasn't an adequate excuse :)
I really hate any of the ranged classes because they have this weird thing where their screen is zoomed in more than the melee classes.
Yus, the FOV is really hard to get used to and doesn't show as much in the videos! Wish it was optional
Call me a noob (because I am), but what I'm asking myself for hours (of watching your videos) is: What do these shorthand symbols stand for? I mean: "DI" , "JC", "LA"
I don't have these...
Thx and a even bigger THX, for your Videos. They are helping a LOT! (Even moren then ponchos and Evos) :P
Really awesome to hear you are learning from my vids :)
DI, JC LA are servers on Frontier. Dragon Island, Jaderock Creek, Lotus Ash Sea.
@@KnightStalker Ah, Isee. Thx. And yes! I'm learning a lot from you. Especially about Units and their movement. Greetings from Germany. ;)
Nice to see you using a new weapon but can we please have some gameplay from the king of the classes...
The db.
DB (aka butterknife bandit) was my first class I picked, hence the name KnightStalker :D
I will make some vids of all classes eventually
Thank for efforts
Hope it helped :)
I only started in season 7 but I have played over 400 sieges and never saw this version of the map. I assumed it was only available on other servers.
Dasuo Fort? Cool, good to know :)
@@KnightStalker just when I tell you I've never seen it I get 80% that map the last two days. Wtf? Lol!
Papa Google is listening :)
Finally!
I feel dirty...
I am very interested in the musket. I am looking for a good dps class.
I'm rather impressed with it so far but don't take my word for it, I haven't put in many hours with the weapon - some of the other content creators like @rogueafett are also currently playing musket so check out his channel too so you can get more than one opinion :)
If they change the throwing mechanic to be like firing a scorpio i will be musket main lol love musket hate the throwing mechanic 🤣
Looking at the sky for half the match XD
@@KnightStalker exactly! Especially difficult when youre in the middle of a fight lol

Im giving up on musket.No dmg to units and if i want to take down enemy player i better run.I get stunned,or just assainated before i do single shot.
Oops, missed your comment!
How long have you been playing? A lot of early-mid tier players suffer the same issues with the multiple CC types in CB

I really wish the player guns were as effective as the unit guns. its just underwhelming as hell! You arent a gunner you are a guy with bombs!
Bomberman is an accurate description.
More like birdshot shotgun than musket lol
