Knocking Down Thieves (Billy Club Token)

[Terhial]

I'm having a lot of trouble with putting thieves into knockdown states with any weapon, much less the dual-wield ones.

They don't always go into knockdown on the special and I suck at block timing with the dual-wield weapons. It always feels like I'm in an animation cycle and can't block, so I struggle to get the consecutive hits needed to use any dual wield special.

Any tips, locations, or challenges that would be good for doing this?

[Zarkai]

Maybe try using Estrella and Rethgar's Quake as they both do knockdown? I just grinded it out in The Emperor with as many cards that triggered bandits as I had at the time.

im having trouble not killing them.

Either Heliophant or Death might be good challenges for this. Might also help filling the deck with theif combat cards.

The spider trap encounter can grant you a weapon with reduced damage.If you get the billy club that way you'll get enough hits and stun a thief without killing them.

the only sucess I've had is on the goblin cards as you can build up your meter on the goblins then use special on the anarchists

I did the same as Zarkai everytime, minus Rethgar's Quake.

Go hierophant (as it allows only 8 weapon so chance of getting the club is high)
Skip everything til final night
Let the accountant die (if you have already got gold finding the true assassin does nothing anyway) or catch the assassin, either way the final boss battle gives about 8 thieves, two rounds you will have billy's club token, which grands a weapon called Law and Order

Use estella's ultimate and just keep rolling around to dodge the thieves
