Your Chivalry 2 Combat Cheat Sheet

Here are five quick tips for how to survive in the chaos of Chivalry 2’s sprawling 64-player battlefields:

1. Attack as a group to make it easier to capture objectives!
2. Force your foes’ heavy attacks to miss by strafing or backpedaling, then strike quickly as your enemy recovers.
3. Time your attacks well! You are vulnerable during the recovery phase of attacks and cannot attack or parry.
4. Only shields can block arrows or bolts. They’ll even block them when your shield is unequipped and on your back if you’re clever enough.
5. Is your enemy running away like a coward? Try throwing your weapon!

Onward, brave knights! Let us fight for glory!
