Rather simple combo hint

[Tenchuu Khan]

Since I've seen quite a few people complaining about combos I thought I'd throw that out there:

When doing a left-right-left or right-left-right combo aka Natural Combo, you don't need to adjust the direction.
If you try to fiddle in there, especially with KBM - you'll just confuse the game.

Thing is:
If you strike from left, it will automatically go to the right, so just strike again, it'll go to left again and just strike.

It's not that bad for most with this combo, but where people struggle with is the Top-Right-Left combo.

Here, once you strike from above, the cursor will go down (hence, the opposite direct) - so there you have to move the cursor right, strike and just strike again without any compensation since the right strike will already move your cursor left.


Hope that makes sense. Had issues with that in KCD1 as well.

You just have to know that when you strike from above, the weapon follows through to the left.

I'm not really 'good' at combat but I find this very easy.

There is one thing that you have to understand and then it will all fall into place:

The position that your weapon 'follows through' into after a strike.

If you strike from the left, your weapon follows through to the right, if you strike from the right, your weapon follows through to the left.

So the previous exercise is easy, right-left-right or left-right-left, the weapon naturally follows through so it is correctly positioned for the next strike- so long as you start from left or right, it's simply strike-strike-strike- no need to move the mouse at all.

When striking from above, you need to be aware that the weapon follows through to the left!

So strike-strike-strike will give you top-LEFT-right and that's wrong.

After the first blow from above you must use your mouse to move your weapon to the right then strike-strike.

so from above strike-mouse right strike-strike.

That second strike is key, you need to force the second strike from the right instead of its' 'natural' position on the left.
