Thank you bro I suck at close combat

Wow this turned into a FAQ! Totally game changing for melee combat. This was also me finally understanding some of the last nuances in the Four Scenarios I have listed... there are more scenarios I just didn't try any. I found melee to be easier than my casters who get beat down, except my ranged sorcerer. I wound up horse jousting everything to death on my incanter lol. Then I realized they can Guard with a shield and counter-cast. When you successfully Guard against an attack you should hear a distinct "chink" sound (sound made when using a shield and a silver wisp visual) meaning they will stagger giving you a window to land a crit or heavy damage combo. Try holding guard as your default position and release guard right before you attack. Should make a world of difference! You can hold a defensive Guard stance with a shield OR a weapon if you dual wield it. Besides waiting for the "Ching!" you can still counter attack after Guard blocking an attack. Even with 100% Guard Damage Negation, multiple attacks can still stagger you making you vulnerable to an attack. You can do the same thing to them. You will always have Attack which uses what you wield in row 1. You will always have a Guard action which uses what you wield in row 2. Under certain Row 1 and Row 2 combinations Guard could be an attack. Strong action is what you wield in row 1, whether it's a weapon or shield. Skill can get confusing depending if one or both items in row 1 and row 2 have a Skill. The item's Strong Attack action is directly under the name of the item class ("Medium Shield" "Curved Greatsword" or "Straight Sword"). I will be using Bloodhound's Fang as example weapon. Strong Attack is Slash. Shield Strong Attack is Strike a semi-lunging forward thrust that does damage. If your item has a Skill it will be listed directly above "FP Cost". Fang's is "Bloodhound's Finesse" which is a Skill action and then a Strong Attack button after the Skill action complete - a double combo that's easy to time correctly. You have to experiment with Skills. For another weapon the Skill combo may be using Skill button and pressing Strong Attack at the right timing such as almost immediately during your Skill action. A half second too late and you just wind up doing a strong attack... not a Skill combo. Perhaps some item Skill combos require the Attack or Guard button press? Don't know. A Shield's "Parry" Skill (listed directly above "FP Cost" is the side swipe which has a tiny window to deflect an attack so you can counter. Takes experience to use it. If you decide to go into using shield parry (shield swipe) start with small shields, they give you a bigger window to successfully parry than a medium shield. Easier to just constantly Guard with a Shield than use it's Parry Skill. A Shield's Parry Skill will interfere with using your weapon's Skill.

Four scenarios: Scenario 1: Weapon in row 1 has Skill "Bloodhound's Finesse". Strong attack is "Slash". Shield in row 2 has skill "Parry" and Strong Attack "Strike". You have these actions: Attack (row 1). Guard (row 2) [holding up shield steadily in front of you]. Strong attack (row 1). Skill (row 2) Parry - shield swipe. You will NOT be able to use "Bloodhound's Finesse" Scenario 2: Weapon in row 1 has Skill "Bloodhound's Finesse". Strong attack is "Slash". Shield in row 2 has **NO** Skill. Strong Attack "Strike". You have these actions: Attack (row 1). Guard (row 2) [holding up shield steadily in front of you]. Strong attack (row 1). Skill (row 1) "Bloodhound's Finesse" I recommend this scenario!!!!! Scenario 3: Shield in row 1 has skill "Parry" and Strong Attack "Strike". Weapon in row 2 has Skill "Bloodhound's Finesse". Strong attack is "Slash". You have these actions: Attack with shield(row 1). Guard (row 2) is "Slash". Strong attack Strike (row 1). Skill (row 2) Parry - shield swipe. You will NOT be able to hold a "Guard" blocking stance with your shield as you can in Scenario 1 and 2. Everything is some kind of damaging attack. Scenario 4: Shield in row 1 has NO Skill. Strong Attack "Strike". Weapon in row 2 has Skill "Bloodhound's Finesse". Strong attack is "Slash". You have these actions: Attack with shield (row 1). Guard (row 2) is "Slash". Strong attack is Shield's Strike (row 1). Skill (row 1) "Slash" because Row 1 doesn't have a Skill. Avoid this scenario. You cannot perform any Skill so don't wield something in Row 1 that doesn't have a Skill. Brass Shield is a medium shield without a skill. I like it because I am not good enough yet to use "Parry" Skill. With the no-Skill Brass Shield in Row 2, and Bloodhound's Fang in row 1 is the only scenario where I can the "Bloodhound's Finesse" Skill. The other Shield's Parry Skill was preventing me from using Bloodhound's Finesse. What I haven't covered is a weapon with no Skill as I don't have any without a Skill. Also haven't covered a Weapon in both Row 1 and Row 2. But now you know how to test this scenario. You can dual wield shields and still have an Attack. Not covering that since there's different scenarios based on whether Row 1 shield has a Skill and whether Row 2 shield has a Skill! When equipping the incanter's Finger Seal, you can test the scenarios of whether you want to use it in Row 1 or Row 2. I had Bloodhound's Fang for a while and didn't know it had a FP consuming ability which is a huge swipe with a follow up lunge attack because I was using a Shield with the Parry Skill. When you run out of FP, you can still use the FP consuming combo Skill, I guess it just doesn't do as much damage? You can "Guard" defensively when dual wielding a weapon. Won't prevent 100% of damage like a Medium Shield will, but will allow you to stagger them and counter attack.

Tactics: The animation for "Guard" blocking with shield is you are holding it up steady in front of you. Just keep that pose til they attack, then counter them.... free shots after you hear a "chink!"! You're also invulnerable to other melee attacks if you got multiple enemies on you when you are running your sword thru someone.... something I found out much later. Enemies have a typical 2-3 normal attacks, at the end if you are still Shield Guarding, you'll hear a "Chink" when they stagger and you can counter attack. Animals like wolves will do a double or triple lunge attack. If an enemy uses a Strong Attack, they will wind up their attack and you should be Shield Guarding, you will hear a "Chink" and can counter attack. You'll notice you also have a 3 standard attacks after which you'll pause after making a harder hitting 3rd blow... this is when the enemy will counter you if they are Guarding and you will be in a vulnerable stagger. Your first two attacks won't stagger you but you won't do damage if they are Shield "Guard"ing your normal attacks. Shield "Guard" blocking and getting a "ching!" as an incanter gives you a great opportunity to land multiple fire blasts, but that means no sword. Typically just use my unpoison incant and heal anyway. You can still attack in some way when wielding a Shield and Finger Seal. Experiment with the Scenarios. Once you figure out maintaining a "Guard" block with your shield held up, you realize the enemy has been doing the same thing all along, waiting for you to attack him so he can counter you.. Game changing moment for me! Set your focus to the enemy closest to you. A dot will appear on them, this will keep you facing them so your shield Guard block will always protect you. When you're outnumbered, set focus to who you think will swing at you first. Experiment your "ching!" counter attacks using the 3 swing normal attack, Strong Attack, and Skill.

For physical damage, your 4 armor slots are useless for damage reduction when you are Guard blocking with a shield with 100% Guarded Damage Negation. You armor only protects you when you are hit by something you aren't 100% Guard blocking. Or if you are Guarding against someone in front of you when you get hit from the side or behind. Or a huge monster, mini-boss, or boss hits you since they overwhelm your 100% GDN. If you are Guarding, then your armor helps reduce damage. While you can Guard and not take damage, armor does increase Poise which decreases chances you stagger after blocking several hits.

A sunset weapon that use to be a monster🤣Let the man do his video without your stupid comments smh
