    Newbie~ What to use?

    Hello skirmishers!

    I just bought the game yesterday and I am thinking about the better way of playing multiplayer in terms of using keyboard/ mouse vs gamepad.

    I got used to the combat system with the gamepad, I am doing pretty well for just one day, but I am feeling that is hard enough to parry or get combos and then get a controlled flow of the battle. I tried also to use keyboard and mouse and I find it to be better in terms of general combination's flow. What are you guys using? Should I change to keyboard and mouse for further mastering or is the gamepad de way?

    Thx and gl to y'all

    Try going back to the controller, but change the keybinds. The reason parry and counter guardbreak are hard is that the default awful keybinds make your right thumb do everything, moving off of the stick all the time.

    "Layout 1" swaps quickchat and guardbreak. Now you have a finger ready to counter guardbreak and you don't have to abandon the right stick as often.

    I also put dodge on left trigger. The previous dodge button is now my guard mode. It's set to be a toggle. I almost never have to abandon the right stick during combat. If you don't like toggle-target this isn't as necessary as moving guardbreak. You have to be able to hit guardbreak quickly.

    If you find that you still prefer the keyboard, well that's fine too.
