Hey, I’ve got a little combo you could test out. In the recent patch, they fixed the swift spear from having the same motion values and poise damage for both 1h and 2h, but they also buffed the hitstun of every last hit to damage level 2. This allows for off fist true combo, or offspear combo into a r1 from a katana, and possibly an r2 of a dagger. You have to only poise break on the last hit, however.

Huh, neat! I think this works because Shield Strike actually uses the "Fast Weapon Art" cancel for stuff like Quickstep! If that is how it works and im looking at the frame data correctly then the 1 handed Sword Lance R2 and Colossal Sword crouch poke into Shield Strike should also work lmao.

@@dinomite6710 maybe one that involves at least a little skill
I wonder if something else like impaling thrust on the shield would be better at roll catching, shield strike seems like it might be too short of range for catching those light roll builds
@@sukmanutzak9547 If you don’t have shield strike equipped it goes back to the main hand AoW. Using the shield by itself though with impaling thrust seems cool
@@CapDayne_Levi interesting, I wonder if that was done intentionally,
love this

I kicked dudes ass lolololol that's why ... Over hyped..... Heavy ninja bones did it
@@passportTokie Good job want a cookie!Grown ass man saying lolololol 🤦♂️
Brotha, that shield bash atk comes thru with follow up so fast 🤌 think i might use something similar for my ng+
@@DiRT_BAG_CALi it’s because it apparently uses the fast cancel ash of war animation like quick step. If you try with other off hand weapons, even the fastest ones like a dagger, the attack will come out significantly slower than shied strike
@@CapDayne_Levi okay, that makes sense. It makes game play feel much more fluid! Thank you for the explanation
