Tips for forcing clashes

[Flyan!]

Favorite moments in duels is when I get locked in clash/chamber battles, a lot faster than normal fights. I can never seem to get clash chains going though, or people who can keep up with it. Any tips?

Clashes can work with all strikes. I'm pretty sure blunt weapons can clash as well.

You could try feinting to bait a chamber and then clash the chamber attempt

If your opponent is aggressive (likes to chamber for example), feint an attack and immediately attack and you'll most likely start the clash.

Chain of clashes* cannot be obtained with blunt weapons.

This is when you clash with multiple enemy weapons in one swing.

What are you talking about? Clashes work the same for all weapons regardless of hit stop being present or not. Even weapons without combos will continue the faster clash combos until you get hit or stop yourself. I've done it with evening star plenty of times, it's not limited by weapon type.

Clashes can be done with literally every weapon. Your best bet on getting an actually good chain clash series going is by using either an identical weapon as the opponent, or a weapon with an extremely similar speed. I've had a clash fight with me using a mace against a poleaxe. I eventually got hit since I was using the shorter weapon, but it was rather fun.
