Reckless Swordsman trailer - Rivals of Aether Steam Workshop

Char link: steamcommunity...
That's not how you use a sword...
Master of the Mordhau swordfighting technique, taken to the extreme. This wacky swordfighter follows no rules but his own, with a diverse moveset split across 2 stances.
Special shoutout to NyazureDreams, the original creator of this character, for allowing me to make their OC into a full fighter, and even contributing some animations and artwork themself.

[@bluehax6]

he's red from all the blood spilling from his palms after he cut them open on that blade

[@LittleNamMan]

*_Now THIS is a gunblade._*

[@gustavoaguiar4188]

this man got hands of steel, because this should be painful.

[@gaetancharligny214]

There actually is a way to hold a sword by it’s blade without cutting yourself

[@keksidy]

Fun fact: Holding a sword by its blade is an actual swordfighting technique called half swording

[@taeinshim3892]

Halfswording refers to a different grip that allows for stronger strikes, which does include holding the blade
Holding it fully by the blade to hit with the guard/pommel is called mordhau

[@resentfulsidecharacter3713]

So that's why the Warden does that when he executes us in For Honor

[@timothygooding9544]

half swording is holding both the handle and near the middle of the blade and is for working the point into gaps between armor
This is actually the mordhau grip, where you use the hilt to bludgeon an armored opponent similar to a hammer by holding the entire sword backwards.
Both are real but only mordhau was used here

[@jonathanherring2113]

My friend, Half swording is one hand on the blade and one on the grip. This man, is FULL SWORDING!
