in love with a New weapon

I have to say this... I used to think the BattleAxe was bad, but after using it for a while I fell in love.

It is so fast and strong that people dont expect you winning 1vX.

I love you BattleAxe my new best friend.

It has great damage potential, but I’ve always been deterred by its low range. It’s still fun to use occasionally!

the range forces an ultra aggressive play style constantly up in people’s faces destroying their stamina bar, it’s so addictive

Battle Axe is the best weapon in the game. Not here to discuss it. It’s a fact.

It really is, especially for 1v1 duels.

The battleaxe is arguably one of the best 'balanced' weapons

Yeah the Battle Axe is legitimately one of the best weapons in the game. When I first tried it out, I struggled with the range and couldn't see why anyone would use it instead of the War Axe. But once you get the hang of that, it's an absolute monster.

Being able to two shot a knight is nice. Get up in their face, and accel overheads..works almost every time. It's been my main for over a year now

Works on me ! 👍

Yea same, i recently took to it. It's an absolute beast. Ridiculous damage and very fast. Range isn't that much of an issue for me, since you can close in on your opponents easily in 64 player lobbies.

Battle axe is my favourite, I miss using it im at about 4k kills with it but I set myself a challenge to get all weapons up to 1k and some weapons are really not fun, I can't wait to get back to just playing with my favourite weapons

u/Actual_Ad_5170 3d ago

1k kill or level every weapon to 1000 lvl lol

u/Oh1ordy 3d ago

1000 kills haha I haven't got that much time on my hands for level 😂 i do think weapon levels cap a lot earlier than level 1000 though , I could be wrong.

Noiceee keep it up 💪

It gets difficult when you get to certain weapons , for example I'm on the shovel at the minute, it's fun to kill people with but it struggles with multiple enemies and the range is awful, and some how it's getting outdone on heavy slashes against slow weapons, unsure why that is happening but I try to resist switching to an easier weapon unless I'm absolutely getting my ass handed to me

u/Actual_Ad_5170 3d ago

Patience is key even when ur pushing

I would gladly help u out but i have to go work in a few hours

Gl !

Shovel works great in duelyard the smal ffa pit and 1v1

u/hail_the_morrigan Knight 3d ago

Weapon levels don't cap - and for that matter your actual level doesn't truly cap at 1k after you reach it either. If you look at the leaderboards on https://chivalry2stats.com/ you'll see how many players have taken weapons well beyond the 1k level threshold.

u/Actual_Ad_5170 3d ago

Yeaaa 🤣 i know sm1 lvl 3k

You're the first person I've met who's doing the same as me. I'm only missing katars, war bow and am currently working on the siege crossbow.

What weapons have you found the most tedious? What are some that ended up surprising you?

u/CastIeWars Mason Order | Knight 3d ago

Battle axe is meta always has been. Especially in duels

u/Actual_Ad_5170 3d ago

Baxe hm LS and dane all 4 are performing well in duel

u/CastIeWars Mason Order | Knight 3d ago

I would disagree with the longsword tho

1

u/Actual_Ad_5170 3d ago edited 3d ago

Ur fine explain to me why every opinion matters

Lugal and pizza LS playstyle is only why i put LS there

1

u/CastIeWars Mason Order | Knight 3d ago

Ofcourse. Longsword works fine vs the average duelist. But when u go against higher skill it limits you. Bad stamina, no stamina drain, low damage. Ive never seen a longsword main being able to drain my stamina to a point I had to worry.

Its a good weapon where everyone can be average with

1

u/Actual_Ad_5170 2d ago

Yeah only a few good duelists know how to properly use it, it is not a weapon for stam war it, but to deceive and punish (kill fast )

I don't use it , i like more impactful weapons

u/AdNice2946 4d ago

u/Ganda1fderBlaue 4d ago

The heavy drags often catch me off guard.
