How to chamber?

[1632189633]

i saw the bot block my attack by attack of his own and wonder which button is chamber?

[Chillum]

its not a button. you have to mirror his attack so that both swords clash in the air.

Ehm, it is not a button, it is a proper timing and correct direction of own attack. Did it sometimes by myself....

Attack button is chamber

I try to do that too but it rarely meet a success, so far 1 in a hundred time or so and it just make me wonder. is it because i get caught in a successive attack that's why i can't chamber? since the attack animation just ridiculously fast

I played over 600 hours in the original warband and never got the hang of it, and I can't do it here either.

Are there any special tips or techniques people use to do it more often?

almost impossible if you fight on foot, i did it once on horseback chamber spear attack from enemy cavalry, luckily stab back at the same time

It is pretty much just getting the right timing but I really wouldn't recommend it tbh. Only useful in duels. And pretty much the instant the attack would hit you you need to counter the attack.

can i chamber range weapon btw? like swinging my sword to block arrow

[Chillum]

Its all timing. Ive seen a rare few able to do it here and there on the mp servers. But only a couple.

It's pretty easy 1 on 1 :

If the hit comes from your right, attack right
left > left
up > overhead
center > stab

Your weapon has to connect with theirs when they strike while you chamber yours, not attacking both at the same time.
The hardest part is that weapons have to touch each others.

During battles though it's practically useless.

I don't think so. Arrows are way to fast and to small.

[Pappus]

Try to catch their attack with the start of your attack. The easiest champer is if you are attacked from the left you attack on the left. It gives you the most time - Up/down is very difficult cause you don't get the connection to qualify for the chamber.

So yeah get the hang for it on the left.

You can block arrows with a 2H sword ive done it 3 or 4 times now and have the perk for it. you can probably deflect and arrow or bolt but the issue is you have to hit such a small hitbox with your weapon.

Same way as in warband, it's just extremely difficult now because there's a tiny window of opportunity for it. I can't quite figure out when to attack to do it as consistently as I used to, but it definitely still works.

stop using nouns as verbs! you sound like someone trying to english!
Its called riposte!
