Bait And Punish Tactic
It's a simple mechanic. Come close to enemy, bait him to attack, move away from him (not by using "S" key but by sidestep using "A" or "D", so you should be turned by 90 degrees), wait for his swing and then attack him. Usually attack him just once.

I was legit just playing with my mate (who is new) and was thinking a cheat sheet like this would be sooooo good. Sure enough you've already put one together. Not Behd <3

@The Blood Crows: "matrixing" is when you lean back or otherwise manipulate your field of view to physically move your character's body out of the way of an attack.

If you see someone really good doing it, they look like they're in Bullet Time. 😎

Crouch and matrix is looking all the way up while crouching, crouch and duck is looking all the way down
The Blood Crows 28 Jun, 2024 @ 12:16pm 
Quick question, what do you mean by crouch and matrix?
