Overview
Tired of getting beaten up like a whimp? This might interest you.
Introduction
Questionnaire based on what I have seen by far on various livestreams. Divided into two sections.
Section 1: Are you prepared?
1. Do you know how to do a Master Strike? Did you even unlock Master Strikes?
2. Do you know how to clinch and how to take advantage of it?
3. Do you know how to combo?
4. Do you know how to dodge and control distance so you don’t get overwhelmed by a combo?
5. Do you know what a feint is? Do you ever try to use it?
6. At the very least do you try to actually swing at enemy rather than at his already raised sword?
7. At the very, VERY least do you try to controllably attack at different angles, or you just try to leftclick your enemies to death?
8. Don’t you happen to use longsword with a shield? Because you DO NOT use longswords with a shield. Your attacks are so slow you wont hit a thing.
Section 2: Is your Henry prepared?
1. Is your Strength/Agility (at least one of them) at around 10?
2. Is your Warfare skill at around 10?
3. Is your skill at weapon of your choice at around 10?
4. Does your weapon deal at least 50 damage?
5. Do you have full set of decent armor? Gambeson, mail, head protection, arms protection, legs protection? No, the gear you get for free during one of the first main quests just wont do the thing.
6. Are you sure you are not trying to use equipment which has too high skill requirements for your Henry? Just making sure, as I often see people simply ignore this big message box on the right, which lets them know their character is too noob for a certain weapon.
Summary
If your answer to the most of these questions is “no”, then now you know why you can’t beat Runt.
