The Archer Class

The Archer's specialty is range. Make sure you keep a good distance from melee weapons such as swords or spears.

Common Mistakes :
Walking straight up to a fight
Reloading when someone is approaching you or you have been noticed
Being on unelevated parts of the map

Improve your fighting :
Find an elevated spot where you can keep an eye on the entrance.
Listening to enemy footsteps near you

Melee Fighting :
The archer also carries a dagger or whatever you have in the second loadout slot. This should be used for up-close fighting when your bow would not be useful.

The Man at Arms Class

The man at arms is an assassin-like melee class used for speed and agility. The man at arms has a special feature : dodge. Use the "v" key to dodge. Depending on where you are looking your character will swiftly move from the spot you are in to a spot next to you. Use this to dodge longer weapons from classes such as the vanguard or the knight class.

Common Mistakes :
Fighting with longer ranged weapons and taking hits - use the dodge key.
Using up all of your stanima by dodging or jumping too often - this will render you virtually useless.

Improve your fighting :
Wait until the enemy to swing, and during their cooldown, strike! This is the most effective because the enemy is normally low on stanima or on a swing/block cooldown.

The Vanguard Class

The Vanguard Class is a mid-weight mid-speed class for higher damaging weapons and more armor than the man-at-arms. Though slower than the man at arms, the longer reach weapons surely prove effective in the battlefield.

Common Mistakes :
Swinging too far away from the enemy or too early - this can quickly drain stanima.
Swinging too often - this also drains the stanima quickly.
Blocking too early - the enemy can strike after your block is down and while you are in cooldown.
Being too close to the enemy - the Vanguard has decently ranged weapons, use them!

Improve your fighting :
Strike the enemy after their block - you can trick them to block by feinting an attack.
Feinting is done by starting your swing and then quickly pressing "q" or "rmb" to stop the attack mid swing. This will not use as much stanima as a full swing and you can swing immediatly after.
While fighting faster classes, try switching to your secondary weapon. It is faster and provides you more of an equal opportunity to speed.
Use "F" to kick enemies with shields! Tap "F" to kick and hold "F" for a harder, longer kick! This will stagger enemies with shields, providing you with a chance to attack.

Using weapons such as the Brandi. for stabbing/overhead is a very useful attack strategy.

The Knight Class

The Knight Class is a heavily-armored high damage dealing class at the cost of speed. The Knight can do a lot of damage, but not nearly at the speed of the other classes. Utilize this class by blocking effectively and swinging at the correct times.

Common Mistakes :
Swinging too fast and not hitting an enemy - each time you swing and don't hit someone that increases the amount of stanima you use rather than swinging and hitting someone.
Not blocking - Just because you have good armor doesn't mean you shouldn't block.

Improve your fighting :
Using the same tactic as the Vanguard, feinting is a good way to open up the enemy to an attack. Feinting and tricking the enemy can cause them a blow from a war hammer to the face!
Archers have an easier target on you because you move slower, stay out of open vunerable areas.
Use your faster secondary weapons against the faster classes such as MAA, it will decrease your swing time.
Use "F" to kick enemies with shields! Tap "F" for a quick kick and hold "F" for a longer, harder kick!
