Hey guys, Guiden here. This video is a bit outdated. Since it's release over two years ago there have been a handful of balance changes, new features to existing weapons and new weapons all together. The spirit of each weapon is still represented pretty well but you may find some information on key perks of some weapons are missing or weapons missing all together. Thanks for watching.
I hate Maul users. I think the biggest problem is that the animations are so hard to read. Looking up while using a Maul looks almost exactly like you're starting a swing. Very frustrating to fight against.
They’re also brutal for stamina trades, though consume a lot of stamina on miss. Take it from a maul user, the best strategy is to play footsies because a good maul user will typically try and play hyper aggressive with constant feints and attacks, so try and drain their stamina a bit so you can force them on the defense.
good playes can read the maul very easily and control the distance and stamina also, but its amazing to use against noobs to average users, and frontline of cours
GoulouMalouku it can be hard to read, I’ve gone up against diamond maul players and they just stand there let you attack then get in your face looking down and feint into the uppercut swing whilst accelling it. If you give someone two long drags then next attack an accel it really fucks people’s reading of the play up. A lot of people complain about the maul but just don’t know how to play against it.. I find shit like cleaver a lot more obnoxious
Well, you really have to choke up on big hammers, making the effective length of the weapon quite short. The only part of the hammer that extends past your hand is the head, so your reach is arm length + hammer head width.
@@astro6009 personally I think instead of making the sledgehammer throwable, make it have an alt fire mode that slows down it's swing speed even further, but holding it like at the bottom of the grip like the bardiche alt mode, increasing range.
They are very, very annoying to fight. They deal HUGE damage, and are even stronger in duels. Even though i don't enjoy fighting them, i think theyre pretty balanced.
The eveningstar is the manliest weapon in the game, and its definetely not closer to a polearm. I mean, it's a TWO hit weapon, it stops on hit, it maybe is a bit similar to a polearm because of the stabs, but wtf, any blunt weapon guide should have the eveningstar on it.
most fun ive had in this game is running round feinting and morphing people with the maul on frontlines, no skill bullshit but the cromnch is very satisfying
So the Pick is interesting with it's properties. It doesn't really line up with blunt weapons at all. Here's why; The damage is different to blunt weapons i.e. it has a modest drop off against higher levels of armor unlike blunt weapons which typically only lose out on a few points of damage.The pick has no stop on hit on strikes where all blunt weapons do allowing you to hit multiple enemies in single strikes easily. (Stop on hit on stabs tho).
The maul is one of my favorites right now, love swinging for the head and always getting the one shot kill. Makes it feel rewarding! plus their head explodes like a watermelon most of the time >:)
Kept headshotting this level 90 dude on duels with the maul 1 hit. It's so cheap but so fun. Stupid useful on frontline those overhead swings are brutal
Great video, but could you talk just a littttle bit faster? It may just be me but I am more comfortable watching your content at 1.5x speed But yea good stuff, keep it up!
@@Ackz89 Any armour and plate mail needs gaps to move and see. In Mordhau, I can stab peoples fucking eyes and still do 30 damage while some busted ass rock attached to a stick decimates my entire family lineage in 1 swing

a lot of veteran players just footwork around the mauls long swing time + short reach.
Fuck the maul. End of story.

you gotta love the dev's logic making a sledgehammer as long as a dagger in practice

They dont need sharpening and ammo.

It has polearm animations so
Maul is manliest
Real men use pans
Where's the pan?
Een random kip a weapon for peasants...
Aka, the killer rabbits of cabbernog of mordhau.
5:40 surprise teeth surgery!
While showing the warhammer: "why nobody wants to play with me?"
Thanks for the vid, did not know thats what hammers alt mode did.
Thank you for making this. I really enjoy your presentation style.
Does this guide also include the lute, since it’s more of a blunt weapon?
My trusty Hammer Ghal Maraz shall purge the heretics
Our Emperor's holy Bolters shall purge you feudal world heretics

Sledgehammer is now throwable basically a maul but for the peasants
#polearmhype
I been looking forward to this for a long time
Why no spoonweapon
Great guide, thanks!
When is polearm vid coming? No rush just curious
In like 5 minutes.
@@GuidenYT alright I'll watch it when I get home lol
You covered sledgehammer in blunt guide but skip pickaxe in axe guide? Explain

Blunt weapons are short
Laughs in polehammer & eveningstar.
Wait, theyre polearms and blunt..... -xfiles theme plays-
Looking at the gameplay, it looks more responsive on your end. Any ideas to make the controls more responsive?
The video is 60 fps and I play with a high refresh rate so maybe that's why

One hand weapons will destroy sledge and also just kick them after a block
Wtf the evening star is a fking blunt weapon
Pole
@@fenorlex1126 no its a blunt weapon
@@kamihashindaa9751 I mean that.
*Random flying pole*
Maul be like: B O N K

peasant weapons when?
polehammer op tho ^^
Mace needs a nerf.
where is the memes?

How DARE you call my primary blacksmith hammer a "tool".
Wheres the fokin bs hammer
he sounds like a white gay steve harvey
no offense
"The Maul is a meme factory every head hit is insta kill " well would you survive it if somrone hit you in the head with one ? Dont think so .
Would you survive if someone stabbed you in the face with any sword?
Windoes depends if you were wearing platemail.. swords generally don’t penetrate well. Blunt weapons are designed for armour bashing
@@Ackz89 Any armour and plate mail needs gaps to move and see. In Mordhau, I can stab peoples fucking eyes and still do 30 damage while some busted ass rock attached to a stick decimates my entire family lineage in 1 swing
Then they also should make the maul realistic in every way. Like increasing the recovery time to lets say 5 seconds.
If this game was realistic everyone would be using a maul because in real life steel plate armor is fucking impenetrable.
