Unarmed combat: Found a way to multi-hit

[Haunting Wolf]

Maybe it's not new but I'm doing an Argonian unarmed build for fun lately, and I found out you can register multiple hits in one punching animation.

The most consistent way to do it for me is that you punch while moving at any direction (preferably forward because reach), and mash attack with mashing left right alternately. If done right you can get 1-5 hits in one punching animation, works on all enemies except when blocked so bait the enemy's attack and do this while they are still recovering or shout them down. Because dragons barely move when grounded and Boss Draugrs/priests crawl out of coffin before attacking, with some perks and modest enchantment you can probably destroy them before they can do anything.

Every punch animation can be done like this to get in way more hits so a lot of enemies can be brrrr'd to death FAST, doesn't work on weapons, even daggers.

Interestingly also doesn't work on left hand punch and first person.

I'd like to call it Shadow Fist. Or the Whispering Fang Style according to a big puppy.

Dude, you just blew my mind. This might make unarmed a viable playstyle even for those uninterested in memeing. Mind if I use it in one of my future playthroughs?

Try it out! It's really fun. Especially automatons are a pain in the ass for unarmed, now they can just DIE ONE THOUSAND DEATHS.

You have to try the the Dwemer Dodge then.
