How to git gud in this game?

[gary never changes]

Literally in every game i got kd 6-17 or more, i just wondering if i can git gud in deathmatches if i were gang banged, and my parry wasn't very good because of panic attack

I'd say try out some of the more new player friendly weapons,As you will hear everyone complaining about Short Spear & Shield is very powerful,use Bloodlust and throw together some armor just learn your blocks and use stabs you'll get kills if you can aim

Cry about the best weapons until its nerfed, then cry about hte chat until its censored.

Don't get gangbanged, learn positioning on the battelfield. Play duel servers to enchance your dueling skill.

While I doubt I will ever be Mister Duelist, in teamgames land?

Learn when to be a huge coward more. Backing off to heal but staying close enough to step in even when you are wounded is an important thing to get a feel for. (tenacious is underrated as a perk).

Stick with 2/1/1 armor minimum until you get more comfortable. This reduces the things that can one hit kill you from full health to only a few extreme edge cases. (Zwei is only 70 vs naked legs, but the executioner's sword is 100 vs naker legs, and the peasant scythe 90.)

Keep a 1 point shortsword or 2 point arming sword as a backup weapon. These are absurdly good for their cost, but people underestimate them because you don't get any youtube montage action out of them.

These suggestions will keep you from using the biggest weapons in the game or stacking a big pile of perks, sure. But they are much more rock solid overall for getting by.

Again, holy **** that arming sword. when I use a crossbow I end up getting 90% more kills with the arming sword instead. "Now, who to shoot-DO YOU MIND! *stab stab stab* Where was I? Ah yes, shooting people-OH COME ON *stab stab decapitate decapitate* Can't a guy just shoot enemy archers in piece-oh I made it into stabbing distance of the archer"

Must be an enemy expections thing. If my jorts wearing engineer or my lederhosen maul man pulls out baby sword, easy street. If I'm a full plate knight with just an arming sword, suddenly I gotta work for my arming sword kills.

Don't bother with bloodlust if you are struggling to get kills in the first place. It's an AMAZING perk, but it won't do you any good if you are struggling to kill things in the first place.

Use longsword first. It's most basic and will force you to learn fundamentals of every other weapon in the game.

Learn to parry. Learn every weapon's animations, windups, releases, recoveries and ranges. Learn footwork. Learn get around enemy blocks. Learn map layout, spawn points, how to position and when to attack or defend. Learn to feint. Learn to feint to parry. Learn to combo feint to parry. Learn to drag. Learn to team fight. Learn to morph. Learn to chamber.

Also don't forget about alternate weapon modes (press R). I completely ignored this for the first 10 hours, but when I looked at my weapon stats I noticed that in the alternate mode it made tons of more damage against medium and heavy armor and the primary mode was mainly good against light armor.

How do i position myself? And i don't my region had dueling server

And for the basic rule that most frontline dudes that dies often don´t use. Teamwork with unknown players and learn your place and what enemy you should head on. Everone has thier own style and what they want to play. Some like archers, light and som like heavy with shield. if you are light dude avoid combat heaby dudes alone or get together with heavy dude and teamwork. Two heavy dudes can stand in a minute bashing at each otther waiting for a small dude coming from the side.

Archers need to learn shoot other archers though XD

Depends on you playstyle and characters, I can't describe everything in two sentences. Guy higher says corectly.

single player deathmatch starting with one bot to practice all the moves

Try to position your self so that you're a constant threat to enemies but not allowing your self to be surrounded by multiple sides. If necessary to fight 1vs2+, try to kill one guy really quickly while parrying the others, and try to engage them in choke points/close quarters like doorways, hallways and buildings. If using a big 2h weapon like greatsword or zwei, press R to half sword and lower chances of hitting walls.

For Frontlines, position your self to constantly pressure enemy fronts, or flank them and make them respond to defending. If necessary, defend your points with your team when they have strong incoming pushes, backing off and getting health when you take 1-2 hits. Try to never be the first on the frontline because they typically don't last long, you want to dance in and out of frontline or flanks to do as much damage as possible while taking as little as possible.
