However its too difficult to throw weapons because us console peasants have to press stab and overhead at the same time, often leading to feinting instead of throwing, so its never worth it in risky place
Amazing guide with amazing visuals! I already know everything about the officer class but it was still entertaining to watch. Keep up the good stuff my guy!
This is very helpfull for new players like myself. It is free on PS console this month so I guess a lot of people will try it. I myself am hooked! Hope to see some more guides in future for other classes as well. Thx for your effort!
Wait, i thought that blunt weapons could hit multiple opponents with heavy attacks and that the Men at Arms had 0,5 cooldown on dashes Has this been changed ?
Question about speed tho. So obviously knight slowest class and vanguard is fastest class but does that effect the punch speed or the crouch speed of the character or just the movement speed
Its hands down the easiest subclass in the game, you have the most armour in the game throwing knifes and longsword which has the reach of a messer but the speed of a short sword. And you can get war horn. Not hating on anyone perticuler its just that officer has so many benifits and no real down side. Your litteral only job on the battlefield is to run straight to the enemy and fight on the front lines
You're most certainly correct. It is the easiest, but not to any fault of the game balance. It just happens to be easier to utilize an increased health bar than it does increase speed or improved range.
@@SoterDave i think its good they did it because most new players even when i was new was captivated by using a longsword and being a knight so it honestly makes sense that theyd give the most iconic class set up ever as the first one anyone could play
The Heavy Mace is one of the few weapons in the game that feels like it can do "anything", because it has blunt bonus extremely "appropriate" hits to kill on every class. Its animations are great, being that 2h blunt animations have only been truly held back by being on slow weapons, and in particular its stab gets the 5 damage it really really needed. It's maybe not as universal as the greatsword, but it's the only blunt weapon in the entire game which can come close, not that that changes how every problem I have with pub TO is answered or mitigated by being on Greatsword Knight. I think it was a mistake to put the Greatsword on knight, genuinely. Other than that, another funny note is that the Knight is the only class which, when overhealed, can tank a ballista shot without using a shield. Ballistas do 200 damage to the body, so if they hit your legs while you're overhealed you can live! Lastly, the poleaxe is good if odd and specialized. Just wait for Ziggy's poleaxe propaganda video.
I find Raider and Officer to be two sides of the same coin. Both have strong weapons on their primary and secondary so they can take on any kind of enemy. But Officer is more of a defensive support who helps the team on objectives using his versatile and powerful weapons to take on enemies that other subclasses may struggle with. It's slower than the Raider but tankier which means you can count on Officer to stay alive with the team using throwing knives, tackle enemies to gank with a teammate, horn to patch up the team in a vicinity and either of his weapons that may have chop, blunt or a fast cut so anyone is game. Officer does best by moving along with the team to objectives.
Unfortunately to make them at this quality I would have to take about a couple months in between each. What I think I'll do is release them as noteworthy events happen like updates for the game or big streams like today's charity stream. To get something out sooner though I'm thinking about making overarching class guides for the four main classes which will have the typical production quality which will allow me to get them out much faster. The subclass guides will be the really high quality ones.
@@SoterDave sounds good. There are a few more similar roles like Crusader and Devastator, officer and raider, crossbow and bowman, man-at-arms /guardian that also could be compared or versused up and then specialists like engineer / ambusher and Pole with skirmish. Just an idea, keep it up !
@@RB028 The next Subclass Guide will be Devastator. The one after that will be Poleman. Then Bowman. As for the lower quality broad main-class videos, I think I'll do Knight first.
A projectile that is thrown: good. A projectile that is shot from a siege engine: good. A projectile that is shot from a player: bad? I don't get it. They're all equally annoying to get taken down by.
No offense to you or anything but "i don't know the button on console" is a kind of weird thing to hear in a video with as much effort put into it as you state. Don't tell me a video that takes weeks to complete wouldn't have left capacity for a piece of information that simple.
That's fair! I made sure to pin a comment from WhiteWolf247 which says which button it is on console, which would be left on the D-Pad. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Am I the only one who feels the mounted combat in chiv is... Awful? I'm a Mordhau player very new to chiv, only been playing for a couple days but the horses just feel so damn clunky.. Pretty much all of chiv is slower than Mord and there's nothing wrong with that, but when it comes to horses they just feel straight up bad. Turning is too slow, base movement and sprint speed are too slow, and the animations look hilariously amateurish.
Throwable is left on the D-pad for console players
Thanks! Pinned!

@@alienhoward2270 I know it's fucken bullshit
Nevermind having to aim WHILE we mash the buttons to actually throw shit
This guy made this game look way better than it actually is and disgusting TB banned him for some bullshit reason. Rest in peace, king
Officer is a great class. Too bad for the -100% mustache debuff
RIP, Dave. The community misses you! ⚔
Beautifully made! Hope to see more of these!
Slowly but surely
These guides made getting into the game so much easier, you'll always be remembered o7
This was a great balance of thorough, concise, and easy to follow. 1:32 A-mace-ing work, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the best Subclass guide I've seen! Can't wait to see more of these!
Next will be Devastator!
@@SoterDave Devastating!!
Amazing guide with amazing visuals! I already know everything about the officer class but it was still entertaining to watch. Keep up the good stuff my guy!
Thanks!
Ive never watched his content before this but now that i have im actually pissed at what happened, this is some of the best content ive ever seen
Superb video as usual! Im a MAA main but this was highly informative!
Easy to follow video superbly made! 10/10 Onward to the light brother!
Thank you for the kind words. Next one coming soon!
super great video! really good job, excited to see more from you in the future :)
Thank you so much!
I love this and this series will be a great tool for new players to figure out what to play
Glad you liked it! If they didn't take so long to make, that would be nice but oh well!
man i havent played chivalry 2 since launch but this somehow made me want to play again
I'm glad!
This is very helpfull for new players like myself. It is free on PS console this month so I guess a lot of people will try it. I myself am hooked! Hope to see some more guides in future for other classes as well. Thx for your effort!
I'm glad I could help
Came for the guide, stayed for the oblivion music. Earned a sub from me for sure
Glad you're here
These videos are very helpful, thanks for making them!
No problem
I think big officer is behind this video
best video yet Dave, keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Very well made video! I strive to be like you one day.
I appreciate the kind words 🤠
Really great editing and the explanation was clear! Awesome video dude! If we ever meet on the battlefield my name is ThAnimator101, see you there!
Thanks for the kind words.
Another amazing guide 😍
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks!
No problem
yuh i actually learned something from this video LOL so you deserve it
Wait, i thought that blunt weapons could hit multiple opponents with heavy attacks and that the Men at Arms had 0,5 cooldown on dashes
Has this been changed ?
Everything that you said is correct.
For console it's left on the D-pad to pull secondary and throwing. Right for just secondary
Damn, neck and neck with devastator.
Indeed
Please keep these up bro
I'll do my best!
Well done video
The oblivion music tho.
I hope you liked it!
Absolutely great vid! Dropping a sub
feels like a paid ad. great content!
I'll take the compliment!
Ah, your giving me more confidence to get back onto the game, although I keep getting jabbed lol
It is what it is. Check out the Dealing with Jabs video!
Question about speed tho. So obviously knight slowest class and vanguard is fastest class but does that effect the punch speed or the crouch speed of the character or just the movement speed
Just movement speed. Meaning strafe and sprint speed.
Its hands down the easiest subclass in the game, you have the most armour in the game throwing knifes and longsword which has the reach of a messer but the speed of a short sword. And you can get war horn. Not hating on anyone perticuler its just that officer has so many benifits and no real down side. Your litteral only job on the battlefield is to run straight to the enemy and fight on the front lines
And not to mention that you unlock all of that at lvl 0. You litterally get rhe most powerful class at the start of the game
You're most certainly correct. It is the easiest, but not to any fault of the game balance. It just happens to be easier to utilize an increased health bar than it does increase speed or improved range.

I agree with everything you said. Even Greatsword being put on Knight. If anything, it shouldn't be on Officer. They should put it on Crusader
@@SoterDave Crusader already has the better greatsword anyway after all, wouldn't even be a problem at that point.
I find Raider and Officer to be two sides of the same coin. Both have strong weapons on their primary and secondary so they can take on any kind of enemy. But Officer is more of a defensive support who helps the team on objectives using his versatile and powerful weapons to take on enemies that other subclasses may struggle with. It's slower than the Raider but tankier which means you can count on Officer to stay alive with the team using throwing knives, tackle enemies to gank with a teammate, horn to patch up the team in a vicinity and either of his weapons that may have chop, blunt or a fast cut so anyone is game. Officer does best by moving along with the team to objectives.
Officer is kind of just the best at everything, lol
im your #1 fan
Likewise
Would you say that this class is ideal for a B-tier duelist?
No, I think a B-tier duelist would be best suited on Skirmisher 😳
Officer is best summed up as hold W and kill everything
will your next video have you with a moustache?
Most lilkely not!
0:57 Chop weapons deal +25% damage against knight, not +35%
that's true! thank you for correcting me!
@@SoterDave You are welcome!
What about the knights that go guardian, a drop the sheild just to use the hammer?
What about them?
@@SoterDave idk, i find a lot more knights winning 1v7s with just a horseman's pick
Great video ! Looking forward for the rest of this series. Any idea of the time between each of those will look like ?

@@SoterDave cool I hope this game blows up and you go viral. I'm addicted to Chiv now
3:11 explain how he can manage to blow the war horn while hes wearing that helmet
There is a very tiny whole in the front of the helmet, where he then places the horn, creating a vacuum :)
@@SoterDaveik im late answering this but thx for the new knowledge
A projectile that is thrown: good.
A projectile that is shot from a siege engine: good.
A projectile that is shot from a player: bad?
I don't get it. They're all equally annoying to get taken down by.
Most of the competitive community doesn't like throwables just as much as they hate siege weapons
Great video but could use less mustache…
Next time

It's not really inconvenient for me, i already knew that. It's just an odd blemish in an otherwise excellent video.
@@Polybox understandable
"heavy mace, a weapon that isn't particularly outstanding" LMFAO this shit can either go lightning fast or turtle slow. What you on?
Since this video, the weapon has been buffed considerably.
Throw knife left d pad
1:33 this didnt age well
Haha it is what it is.

Turning is too slow, base movement and sprint speed are too slow, and the animations look hilariously amateurish.
If you're not using full sprint, the turn rate is pretty fast. At full speed, you lose mobility.
Crusader better smh
to each their own!
Are you going to do more subclass vids?
Yes. For the next update comes out if you expect to see the Poleman subclass guide
