How do you properly play this?

I was never really a super versed Blade and Sorcery player. But I seem to have lost what little skill I did have for this game when coming back for the major update. I seen videos of people doing insane combos involving enemies being flung all over the place before being chopped to bits. They make it look so clean and easy but any enemy I try to do the same to just feels like running into a brick wall. Arms are like wet noodles and about 90% of the fights usually involve funny physics nonsense till the enemy randomly dies with the rare cool kill thrown into it.

One of the bits of advice I tend to offer is swing past the enemy, not at them, kinda like you would in a real fight. If you're stabbing forward, imagine they are a few extra feet further back than they are. You need that momentum to make hits feel impactful, otherwise you end up just limiting yourself to tapping them or scratching them.

Alot of those videos online tend to be slow-mo sped up to look like real time, so alot of them are artificial in a sense, but still cool looking to maximise entertainment, so unless you intend to play the game with slowmo constantly on, I wouldn't expect stuff like that unless you are trained in swordsmanship irl

I dont have any actual advice, as I am also terrible at this game, but i just manage it

It's easier once you get some weapon mods too, since the base Blade and Sorcery weapons kinda feel a bit whimpy sometimes.

On top of that, higher tier weapons I think are generally sharper and have better capabilities to do cooler kills

Cheats are how those people look cool while playing. They turn on the slow motion for boosted strength and the ability to think out and execute their moves. Then they speed up the footage to look like a ninja badass in real time.
