Here is a trick that is rarely use due how dumb it is. If you struggle with using CC while getting ganked, go for the backwalk heavy attack. The horizontal hitbox is dummy big, still have HA, and it seems deceitful for the opponent you are lock on.
Something you can also do in group settings is that his forward + A spin attack can home toward a different enemy last second. So say you face one dude, do your spinning move, then change to a different guy you'll hit him instead. Throws people off.
Nice to see a starting channel where the creator actually makes good points and isn't just making contentless content. Thanks for knowing what you're talking about. I'll sub to see how it goes👍
Been playing him for about 2 weeks now. Definitely my favorite character, and the mix game is nasty. Edit:btw greatswords averages in weight about 10lbs I think. So swinging it fast isn’t impossible. Hence why he grabs up on the blade to swing the lights.
I used to hate Highlander as I was low rep, I'm on console, and I thought he was op. Now being rep 215 I now understand that he isn't as strong as I used to think because mostly big damage is his main strength. I find myself loving complex characters that feel rewarding for learning new things. It's a real breath of fresh air from dealing with characters that hold your hand the whole way and are super simple, I'm looking at you pirate. Playing Warden to rep 40 was fun enough because destroying high tier characters with a lower one felt really satisfying but it's really lost it's luster.
Exactly playing a harder character is definitely more rewarding that playing the Easy ones for sure. Definitely why I play warden, I recently started using Bp more, due to his flip being such good counter to alot if spam 😅 its nice to have counter options
Rep 210 here gotta say hardest character im trying to play so far, learning curve is a lot more steeper than i've anticipated 😬 thanks for clarifying some things
Thats how you do it 🤣 I actually play all the heros like this, and just flick my thumb to Gb and feint, Unless im using KBM then I dont Gotta worry about those Inputs, Just deflects are harder for me on KBM
But one thing that I don't get ist the unblockable heavy softfaint into a light. If the enemy tries to parry I think he still gets a parry and if he dogdes he still dodges the attack.
It's called a Claymore, People swing them pretty more fluid than highlander, check out HEMA with Claymore and Longswords- just won't see dodge attacks.
Jorms the next video. Then after i have pirate requested. Its been request since before the jorm one but i didnt have the character and needed to grind steel
@@jakadvo2465 Agreed. Its definitely a pain to land it now. I think in release It used to have hyper armor but it was to strong then. Now practically every character has dodge attacks so it makes it hard. Try doing it after a heavy dodge. When your in stance and you do a dodge from their heavy attack, you can kick right after the dodge while there still in recovery animation. (Some hero's have dodge recovey on their recovery animation so it wont work On them though) its also learning your matchup.(moments the enemies are open for attacks) Also The kick, is best used as a soft feint from the unblockable attack in your heavy stance. If they go to parry your unblockable the kick lands.

SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!!!!!! (Distorted bagpipe noises)
lmao I was literally contemplating using that sound in the video 🤣🤣

Yesssiiir!! I wanna do like an how to anti-gank video but I think ill wait till after im done with the regular tutorials
Got highlander a few days ago, and he’s made the game more interesting and fun. Games feel more rewarding, but he’s very tricky to play
yeah alternating stances when needed dose take some getting used to. but if you keep at it its worth it, hes satisfying to play
I unlocked Highlander last night!he’s pretty fun!!
Nice to see a starting channel where the creator actually makes good points and isn't just making contentless content. Thanks for knowing what you're talking about. I'll sub to see how it goes👍
needed this ty
No, thank you flash!
🏃♂️💨
started playing this game again after stopping during y1. very good guide! fun video!
even though i know basically everything about this game, its still fun to watch these videos. good shit bro!
thanks Appreciate the support 😄😄
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever watched
Damn thats To bad my other content videos don't get views 🤣😂

Really only 10lbs?? They look like they're thicker than that😁 good to know thanks!
@@ImmortaljakeGaming it’s the length that makes it hard to control from what I’ve read lol makes sense.
@@ImmortaljakeGaming in the game almost all weapons are way too thick so yeah
@@katerinaglynou1972 Touché 😁
If you look when he's swinging his light, he holds the blade halfway up. Which would explain how he can swing it so fast.

YESSS OUER GOD HAS PLESSED US WITH ANOTHER ONE
🎅 🤣
Rep 210 here gotta say hardest character im trying to play so far, learning curve is a lot more steeper than i've anticipated 😬 thanks for clarifying some things
Yeah he's definitely one of the harder one's, it takes a true highlander enthusiast In my opinion
What fov are you playing on?
Pretty sure i have it at max
What was the game at 0:09
Dragons Dogma 1
i cant kick while holding heavy only if i let it go an then kick?
No..? Thats weird it should be Guardbreak while your holding heavy then let go of heavy to follow it up
I’ve learned to play highlander with both my index and middle finger on the triggers
Thats how you do it 🤣 I actually play all the heros like this, and just flick my thumb to Gb and feint, Unless im using KBM then I dont Gotta worry about those Inputs, Just deflects are harder for me on KBM
If they reworked him to swap like Medjay, feel like he would be much better.
I learned him when he came out way before Medjay So its probably why its easier for me but mechanicaly That switch would be easier for alot of people
How do u activate the parry indicator?

Bro this guide is really in depth and in detail. Earned a sub from me 👍
Thank's, there's a few people who think I'm too "extra" but 🤷♂️ I appreciate it man
Bonk👍

Yeah honestly i dont use it much either, I perfer the kick soft feint but thats just me
How do you do the toss exactly o need the buttons to press 😔😔😔
What console?
Xbx- backstep+X
Ps5- Backstep+Square
Backstep is left analog stick down. Or on pc Hold S Im not sure the pc Gb button as i remapped it a long time ago but it would be S+ Gb button
The entirety of my being hurt from that intro
Is it that bad??? 😂😂😂
@@ImmortaljakeGamingits one of my faviourite intros pls dont change it
@@kookle5451 Im sorry I already made it shorter in my newer videos, :(
tell me if its okay please?

Watching this so i can master him and use his hero skin
Don't give up! highlander takes time to get used to 👍
Been watching all your vids brother. Berserker and/or Jorm in the works? Ngl, I been getting slapped around by them MFers since I got into the game 😂
Jorms the next video. Then after i have pirate requested. Its been request since before the jorm one but i didnt have the character and needed to grind steel
@@ImmortaljakeGaming Bro that's actually perfect, I'm def tryin to learn Jorm and my boy has already fallen in love with Pirate 😂
@@EggsZacLee nice! jorm should be done soon
loved the video, but you could talk louder
Will do 👌
ok but they always dodge attack
What..??
They always dodge attack what?
@@ImmortaljakeGaming the kick, the move isn't even viable when I can't even soft feint into the grab

Also do you happen to be in the discord server?
I’m deleting for honor because this guy is to hard to play and he’s the only character I wanna learn so bye community have a good one
😢 It do be like that for some people
@@ImmortaljakeGaming I redownloaded I’m cursed to forever play this game lmao much happier now ty for the guide
The character is just bad
