    Hi! I was just wondering, how do you do:

    Time phase stuns
    knife stuns "timing and placement is everything"
    glimmer stuns
    firecracker corner stuns
    firecracker stationary stuns

    As for the knife stuns, how long are you supposed to wait before stunning? I only did it correctly once, and it was when he got his head up. And what's a glimmer stun? I know Glimmer is an ability, but don't you just go invisible and hit your enemy? I never tried it, so I don't really know. I f***ing suck at Firecracker stuns, I seriously need help on doing that.

    With knife stuns your pursuers range is reduced for the first 2 seconds, you have to stun them quickly, from an angle preferrably.

    You should also add disruption stuns to the list. Crafted at medium or max is mindf***s your target, depletes their approach meter and you can run behind them for an easy stun.

    **Had to edit this message**
    Need help accomplishing knife stun

    **AC4. (Now)
    Crafting
    knives: 70% target speed 2 pt.
    Bonus pt. 2.50 sec duration**

    AC4. (Before)
    Crafting
    Firecrackers: 6 range no bonus 2 pt.
    Knives: 3 dur no bonus 2 pt.

    **Today I made my first knife stun,
    3 so far in fact, with no trace of other abilities. A couple more but can't positively say another ability had no influence.
    I first moved 1 pt. To speed, no bonus. Moved both points to speed next, got bonus pt. duration, in that match I pulled off 3 knife stuns.
    Originally wrote below message.**

    I can't do knife stuns..
    I've tried adjusting my throw timing/distance, approach angles as close to 360° possible, distance from target looking for prompt, as well as speeds of my approach to stun.
    Firecrackers have never worked to stun for me either.

    **Everything I've read on knife crafting agrees duration is the most helpful, however I'm about to try target speed to see if it relates to action range.
    Game description identifies slowing speed and inhibiting climb. Things ive read and watched have indicated a reduced range to get kill prompt. Personally I've seen them get hit, almost instantly start kill animation, and have no effect signs after.
    Speed seems strange since as you increase crafting, the percentage drops by ten 90%,80%,70%.
    Speed lowered, heck you can hardly move definitely not at 90% of normal. If describing amount suffered why craft to it if you would lose speed loss effect with each upgrade.
    Other than the word speed, in crafting it says how much target affected.
    When I take a knife I can't reach to kill,
    move as fast as normal slow walking, or use some abilities.**

    What is your opinion on point placement and if willing what target speed is supposed to be, and or why I got better results this way?

    Yup, duration is a waste.
    Firecrackers only help with noons or if civilians in between
