How To Counter Spears/Long Weapons

[MarvinTheMRP]

just like run at them lmao use your mouse man theres physics push that ♥♥♥♥ watch a hema video read some manuscripts get better dog

[appalive]

when I encounter a spear guy I just swing my arms when charging towards them, hopefully not killing me and 90 percent it works for me. Don't do this with long swords, you WILL die.

I just right click and block them until I can close the gap

Parry, push the spear aside with a weapon or shield while you move forward and close the distance that the spear head cannot reach. "Half swording" with a two handed weapon to push the spear aside works as well.

Also helps to not always run straight into the spear, so go diagonally or strafe til the spear is out of line

[WarWeasel]

At the stage where spears are common, use a long weapon. Either the scythe or a spear/pitchfork. Otherwise, actively hit their spear away with a sword or axe and close the distance as quick as possible. Bucklers are also a big boon here.

use a buckler its super easy to parry a spear with those

[ZoraergazU]

find the spear distance correctly,
get close but not straight, walk a bit to the left or right.
this part is hard, when you know you can hit the tip of the spear, use your weapon and then THWACK it to other direction, after that close in for the kill.

"Push the spear away" is not a strategy and you would know this if you played the game longer than a hour.
The NPCS and even your own character snap to parry whenever your weapons are close to eachother so if you "knock" the weapon away it will instantly snap backwards and kill you because the spear head doesn't have to stab you it will just merge into your body from the side and kill you.
