i agree spears suck to fight against

[Magical Horseman]

they can be annoying but they can also be diverted. You can take advantage of how the tip is harder to hold in place versus other weapons. Usually I try to catch the spear shaft with my weapon, two handing it makes it easier, then you slide your weapon against it as you close in.

What you mean?! U cannot handle them or what??

Half sword and push the spearhead up and to the right. Once you're inside their radius, they're basically sitting ducks.

Fighting with a spear is easy mode if you stop using the thrust function and make short slight swings at the legs to get them off balance, then go for other shots...
Once they get stunned at hurt, aim your spear and run, DONT thrust.
Instant pwnage.
And that starting pitchfork? You're unstoppable. Especially against the scythe guy.

Too close? Half sword mode, just start swinging wildly to give yourself some space, then either run with the point or keep swinging.

it's not like they one shot you, they just unveil the fabric of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reality

I just walk to the side and stab them

ya, the biggest part is closing the distance. Timing is key. I like to use a weapon or sheild to shove their weapon aside or hit their arm before they strike, then get so close they can't do ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to me. Hitting near the tip is very effective. Infact the real best strat if you're using a shield is to use it in your right hand and your weapon in the left. I don't tend to do that but lots of options really.

As an avid spear player on this game

No, the AI spearmen are broken. Most of the time I know how to counter and kill them but sometimes they're just utterly OP.

I once shoved their spear away with mine and it bounced up to the air and instantly teleported back into its hands and that had somehow impaled my neck and torso and i dropped dead immediately: THAT IS NOT FAIR..

AI Spearmen are broken, killable but fking lame and unfun to fight. Please make them actually make sense? Make them fight like player spearmen, why am I having to fear spearmen even after I get past their fking guard and go kissing distance lmao

Note: Also, I was once got stabbed by the middle of the spear shaft, rather than the spearhead so there's that.
