How the **** do you guard break and jump attack on keyboard

[Seraph-arkhḗ]

Yes, I did use google, and no I never found the right answer.

Generally speaking trying to do pvp alone with keyboard and mouse feels like a huge disadvantage and I already get my ♥♥♥ kicked but not knowing how to guard break and others is really screwing me over. The ingame keybindings menu is so useless...

How to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ guard break or leap attack, It don't tell you ♥♥♥♥.
The menu literally says attack and heavy attack genius.

[SuperSam]

considering that attitude, i assume you did not finish tutorial.

I use a keyboard and mouse all the time. It's W+G for a jump attack and W+H for a guardbreak.

[message2god]

There was a input delay on mouse and keyboard users in the orginal version of Dark Souls 2.
You will almost never make the correct input because of 60fps makes the timing twice as hard to pull off and ten times more difficult because of input delay.
I suspect the problem was also imported to this version.

W+G & W+H iirc. With mouse it's impossible and random.

I figured out a decent way to jump attack with mouse controls without having to W+G. When you right click twice or left click twice for heavy attack, press W on the second click. Don't hold, and don't press W on the first click.

In short, Mouse click then quickly W+Mouse click. (Guard break is still hard as fug with the mouse though.)

First you disable double mouse click in the options (you have to do this every time you run the game though), then it's just W + light/strong attack.

GJ.

That necro tho

[foofighter_ii]

The kick to bash shields works with "double click" front button (in my case, letter "w" of keyboard) + attack button
If you only press front+attack button, the game doesn't recognize the imput and only does the weapon swing.
Same goes for the front heavy attack.

[it ain't me]

jumping attacks are pretty hard in this game
