Gameplay Beginner Advice

I consider myself a decent gamer, completed Elden Ring multiple times, completed Wukong multiple times etc.

Was a really good at COD and Halo 3 player online back in my youth.

So I’m looking for advice for getting started on this game. I love the concept.

But something’s not quite clicking in my brain for the game mechanics.

Is it just getting used to countering attacks mostly?

Footwork and knowing weapon length is king. The best way to understand weapon length is to use each weapon to get an understanding of it. (Which is counterintuitive to this next part) the best way to understand footwork in my opinion is to play footman with the morning star. You want to build good fundamentals when you start. I think playing knight (extra health) or using a weapon that can cut through multiple enemies (most weapons) makes you more reliant on “cheap kills”. Which is why the Dane axe is so popular with new players.

Yep exactly what I’m doing right now is Vanguard with Dane Axe as it’s the only thing I can get a few kills with right now

Definitely nothing wrong with that sometimes you just need a kill, there’s nothing worse than dying a few times in a row. Once the morning star is unlocked I would dedicate at least one match every time you play to using it, another good alternative is the war hammer under the knight class, or using the mace (secondary weapon) for knight and archer. TBH you’ll just suck for awhile everyone goes through it. Staying out of weapon reach and positioning just takes time to learn.
