Sword combat guide: critical hits, strafing and W-taps

1. Find the sword rhythm

Hyunn’s demonstration at 0:34–0:57 compares repeated clicking with timed attacks. Watch the small sword indicator around the crosshair and give it time to recover. Keep distance and aim steady while learning the rhythm.

1. Read the dummy health display as you repeat the same attack.
2. Keep the crosshair on the target instead of watching your hands.

Drill: land a hit, wait for the indicator, then land the next. If you miss, fix aim and distance before speeding up. The dummy’s health label lets you observe the result without a moving opponent adding another variable.

2. Add a descending hit

In the 0:57–1:48 demonstration, the creator jumps and attacks on the way down, near the landing. He releases forward movement for the critical-hit sequence. Reproduce that timing before trying it during a chase.

1. Face the dummy with your weapon selected.
2. Jump while keeping the crosshair on the target.
3. Release forward movement as you descend.
4. Attack during the descent, then reset your spacing.

Do not read a single hit animation as proof that you executed every condition. Repeat the same motion and compare the result. The goal is a controlled descending attack, not constant jumping.

3. Track while strafing

Use A and D to move across the target while keeping it centred. Start slowly enough that your aim remains stable. Radex Tips demonstrates this tracking habit at 0:57–1:11. Increase movement only after you stop swinging past the opponent.

4. Practise one sprint reset

Hyunn demonstrates two movement patterns at 4:03–5:10:

Pattern	Input rhythm	What to practise
S-tap	Move in, hit, briefly step back, move in again	Create a repeatable gap after the hit
W-tap	Move forward, hit, release W, press W again	Reset forward movement without losing aim

His preference for W-tapping is a personal result, not a character ranking. Start with whichever sequence you can repeat cleanly. Do not hold every movement input while trying to learn a reset.

5. Move to a live opponent

Choose the same kit in Duels. Attempt the sequence once when the opening is clear. If the opponent moves away, track and reposition instead of continuing the inputs at empty space.

Common mistakes: clicking faster when a hit misses, jumping without watching the descent, changing kits after every loss, and forgetting to reselect the weapon after healing. Use the controls table to settle the inputs first.
