Virgin metaslave vs chad historically accurate enjoyer
And then 90% of the players just "big weapon" enjoyer
no, winners vs a geek
@@edgar7304 I dunno, these 'winners' die pretty easy against my poleaxe...
Bonk enjoyer
@@shibe5198 poleaxe is shit, accept it.
We all know the best part of this weapon is the polearm dance on knight.
Same with the quarterstaff
@@knocksuecow2196 You're not gonna use quarterstaff over poleaxe tho are you
@@antoncabotta5364 I love both
"AD MORTEM INIMICUS" is heard echoing off in the distance
"The most VERSATILE weapon ever invented"
The Pole arm is just asthetically nice to look at
It’s always been great for me. It was the quintessential knightly weapon back in the day, and was more effective than most spears and especially swords on the real life battlefield. It was also highly modular, unlike a weapon like the halberd, which was forged from one metal piece. Most poleaxes were also the most sturdy weapons, sporting metal reinforcement on the shaft to make withstanding enemy attacks easier.
Pretty much my opinion also. I love it and its in the running for my favorite medieval melee weapon, with it competing for first place with the Polehammer, which is actually just called a Poleaxe in some languages anyway. I'll use it whether it's meta or not for that reason alone.
@@carroboi2981 Agree, medieval people didn't really bothered to "name them", so thats just "pollaxe" in most sources, regardless of the setup, it can have a hammer, axe, spike, beak, in any combination including a buttom spike, which is in rare cases a complete fuckin' spearhead kinda thing almost.
Though that said it would be cooler imo if the "pollhammer" was just a skin to the pollaxe, since they are not different weapons and they are both knightly weapons.
I personally absolutely love the poleaxe, you can get around people's blocks so easy with it, and I find it to be way more intuitive than the Messer. It's got good range, all right damage, and people don't really fight against poleaxes that much so they don't really know how to counter you that well. It's my main weapon for a very good reason.
I can't explain why the I love the poleaxe other than the stabs just feel amazing. People just don't counter stabs as consistently, and the stabs bring fantastic value to team fights with the health pool of the Knight. This coupled with the recent buffs to the damage and the stamina buff... I'm salivating
I always do a stab followed by an overhead, rarely ever gets blocked.
@@rkit6707 Stab feint into alt stab 🙏 gets 'em every time
@@rkit6707 I always either do stab into alt stab faint OR overhead into stab, and then my most common thing is an overhead faint into a dragged heavy overhead that shit never gets countered and if you see them attacking you can just accel it into them almost instantly or you can look up more to drag it even more if they are still blocking
Zig:*wins game* lobby: "and I took that personally."
I was looking for this comment
what a wonderful job you did editing this video!
Thanks Stridah! It means a lot coming from you :D
@@SlamFisher no problem!!
I learned the game with the Halberd so when it came to using the knight class (I was trying to level up each class at the same time sort of thing) the poleaxe was an instant hit for me
I didn't actually realise the poleaxes stats were so shortcoming but now that I've seen this it makes much more sense as to why I was getting mollywhopped after I started using it EXPECIALLY with like you say.... The alt swings
I believe you have done videos on a few weapons that you said has a longer reach with the alt attacks so I get bamboozled alot
Regardless of whether I'm top of the scoreboard though the game is fun, I just wish it ran like it was meant to
Ziggy can have 8 ppl in front of him with his back to the wall holding a pole axe and still live. Seen it, bros different.
Yooo I’ve been waiting for this and I’m not disappointed. Amazing video ziggy! Congrats to Sam as well for managing with the sickness.
This was really good Ziggy!! Excited to see more.
Really appreciate the holistic view you provide here! Not just raw numbers or abilities in isolation...the fighting game comparison was super helpful.
FINALLY, a guide on my favourite weapon, on my favourite class.
Thank you, Ziggy! People need to know
Oh, and what a review, too! You went over every strength of the poleaxe: it's versatile mediocrity, it's impressive special and it's unique playstyle.
I also think it would be nice if it did just a bit more damage, but, as it is, I consider it to be perfectly balanced. A solid choice for a weapon.
I thought I'd like him just posting VODS and didn't like him originally switching but I loved this video and am glad you made the shift, thanks for the vid Ziggy!
Great insight. Won't make me put down the longsword, but great input. Love this game so much!
This is an excellent video that exposed a lot of concepts to me. Subbed!
Wonderfully edited vid
A pleasure to watch even when I haven't played since launch
That makes me really happy.
This is some mad good content bruh so much information, almost feel bad absorbing all of it
Great video you explained the pros and cons perfectly!
Im so excited for this video. I started using this weapon because of your streams!
Love the editing well done 👌🏼
it should also do slash damage since its an axe and its got 2 handed leverage(if a small hatchet can do it a poleaxe can).
In duels, other than the borderline unreadable special, the best feature of pole axe is it's MASSIVE counter window. A decent duelist can engage in minute-long battles with other high level players and out-stam them.
The anchor also does 70 damage per throw, it’s my main now
song at 4:32 is get up by akira ishikawa for anyone wondering
I tried battleaxe cus of your vids and I actually got really good with it and it’s my favorite and most comfortable weapon to use now. I think I’ll try out this pole axe thing in depth now O.o
Poleaxe gang lesgoo
Appreciate these immensely, Ziggy
Banger upload as always. Love ya ziggy
I was wondering why my range with the poleaxe felt so weirdly inconsistent, even within the same attacks. Thanks for clearing that up!
Still love this thing to bits, its stabs and special attack are amazing and it just feels good.
Good to see you upload again man
FINALLLLYYYYYYY I’ve been waiting for this video for the longest I check everyday to see if it there 😂but amazing vid ziggy I’ll try to join ur twitch more often now on love talking wit yah ❤
Not to sound to far up your arse but I find your video reviews make much more sense the more and more I play the game. That was a lot of more.
Ran into you awhile back, gotta admit you certainly were the only one in that duel lobby that gave me a run for my money with my own weapon.
Dagger best weapon in the game.
I just saw in my game love your content
Btw you're really skilled
8:30 what a blocking hitbox..
Love your videos brother!!! I have fell in love with the 2 handed hammer the Knight Deleter
Try the Heavy Mace.
Poleaxes are definitely one of my favorite weapon choices in the game, alongside Berserker Axe, the fist-hammer, and the bowtie axe.
love the vid mate
Babe wake up, Ziggylata just posted a banger.
Hol up, hyper informative Ziggy? And im learning obscure weapon swing tech? Fuck yeH
hey zigg just got into chiv 2 cause of the game pass and love it and found your channel. Wanted to recommend a video idea where you rank each objective and go over how they're skewed to which ever side, how to best defend or attack it and how you'd make it better. During my time playing I've already seen the kinda objectives that are basically free and the other ones that stop the game like molasses.
This is my main weapon, but I struggle with it a bit. It makes me feel bad at the game. Once I try out a dropped sword, I realise I'm not actually that bad, and I find it a lot easier, but I want to use a pole axe as a knight.
This videos is great and hilarious considering yesterday
Poleaxe very underrated
dude this thing slaps tried it out after this vid and god damn
i dont even know how many times in TO where i was in a team fight and i try to overhead counter a poleaxe special, its so fast and looks like an overhead and throws me off sometimes. Such a fun weapon tho
I don’t know why but I always do decent when I use the pole axe. I’ve tried halberd and I suck, executioners axe I suck, war axe I suck, you get the idea. There’s just something about it that activates my “one with the game” mentality.
love the fighting game reference
All I could think about during the section where you talked about the special was that janky ass special I hit one time in duels where I teleported
Pole axe is my favourite knight weapon. I don't even know why, it's clearly inferior to the meta weapons. Something about it just feels fantastic.
The world’s most versatile weapon, the pollaxe.
Quality. Worth the weight
I love this weapon, I've been doing well with it recently on console.
I've think I join the poleaxe legion now.
I use the mace because I like throwing my weapon at people, the mace won't stick to people so it makes it easy to get it back.
It's very effective.
Pole axe legit has the trickiest animation if you figure it out. The combo stab is especially strong because it has no wind-up animation. You follow through with a slash or overhead and the poke legit comes outa nowhere
Mount and blade: Chivarly.
Thumbnail clean 🤌🏼
Stab through people running like a bus…
I'm definitely a dane axe fan club guy. But the poax is good for when you want to mix up your gameplay little bit.
Uncanny timing
I mostly play Officer/Poleaxe/Mace on defence and Crusader/Messer/Morning star sometimes on offence. I pick up the messer from the ground whenever possible when I am playing officer. With the messer it's just so easy to quickly gank people with the heavy overhead drags while I use the stabs and special on the poleaxe to gank or swap to the mace to swarm the enemy when ganking.
Frontlining in a pinch and staying behind offensive minded people when holding a line and protecting team mates is what the poleaxe excels at in my opinion. I prefer the officer with the poleaxe over Guardian/1h spear/mace playstyle. I have tried playing a bit of longsword and greatsword here and there as officer but I don't think they are as versatile when trying to play as a group support. I feel like you kinda need to pick Devastator to use the greatsword to it's full potential.
The defensive anti-gank capability and overall versatility and good match-up spread as well as the chop damage bonus is what makes the poleaxe stand out for me. Stab/heavy stab/special is the bread and butter of this weapon, you don't have to commit to moving forward and being aggressive to be effective with the poleaxe, as long as you have at least one team mate close to you this weapon does not feel that much inferior to the messer and the heavy stab and special allow you to still finish people off quite quickly when the situation presents itself. The alt quick stab (try to use alt stab over regular stab whenever possible) allows you to do good damage and interrupt anyone charging at you when "anchoring" yourself in a position when lets say a 3vs3 is about to break out and you are at the front and most likely to be targeted by someone running at you with a heavy slash.
Yeah this is pretty accurate.
I love the Poleaxe, everyone thinks longswords or a sword and shield or something are Knightly weapons, nah man Knights gon bash your brains in with an axe that is also a hammer.
You don't really need much of a shield in full plate armor. It can be nice, but you don't need one
@@Ziggylata ye
I love you Ziggy ❤️
back in chiv 1 the weapon special would count as blunt dmg, dealing lots o dmg to knights, they should do the same for it in chiv 2
DAng you have so many Archers running into melee range in this video
1:58 Menuda paliza.
Ayeeee played with you in a match!! God dam demon 🤣
Just run around sneakily heavy-stabbing people for 2-hit kills. Turn into the windup animation to hide it partially.
Haven't watch you in a while but nice to see you finally going first person
BUFF POLEAXE
poleaxe my beloved
yea my biggest problem with the poleaxe is i want to special all the time
Yeah its pretty good.
Chivalry 2 can be summed up with "if this worked"
I dont like polearms in this game, but i had so much fun playing with poleaxe it might my fav now lol
That thing with swings is fixed now, and poleaxe got nice buff so I think this is a good weapon now
The swings didnt get fixed
@@Ziggylata really...that's sad
Warclub S tier you will never change my mind
Not trying to
poor horse
People will forget about the pole axe when we get staff.
hey I made the video let's GOOOOOOOOOO
Glaive is my favorite weapon. Shoot me
im offended you put my shovel at unusable honestly
Fairly new player here but I recently have been having my starting menu screen be laggy and freeze for like 10 seconds at a time and losing connection in game sometimes...I have a new cpu with a 3080ti and such so that shouldn't be the issue and also my first 60 hours were perfect with no issues of anykind. Any help or tips would be appreciated : }
i have always used the poleaxe it is my main weapon and always will be
I enjoy the poleaxe but the left -> right swing being so bad can feel really shitty in 1vX given thats how you swing after a counter, and of course overheads/stabs aren't as good in these situations
You can counter/riposte using alt-directions. It's a bit awkward on controller though.
Can you do a guide or over view on first vs 3rd person play style?
Shovel may not be meta-viable
But it's the best meme weapon that can bonk people
I’m from 5 months after this vid and is wondering if at 7:10 is that still true about the +abilities not working
They're all fake except "Increased Stamina Negation on Block" which is now true.
Shovel is op. Especialy one the arena
wait does the poleaxe's special STILL not change to blunt damage!? despite the animation havving you wack them with the hammer end!? all that aside i do love me poleaxe for the reasons you pointed out
No it doesn't.
Hey it’s that guy
luv me poleaxe, 'ate the masons. simple as
This should be named, Best no.5ish weapon in the game lol
This is a stupid question, but do some weapons do stamina/health damage to your foe or do all weapons do stamina/health damage to your foe? At 6:28 Ziggy mentioned something about the warhammer and I could be reading into it the wrong way.
Weapons do stamina damage when someone blocks them, it's not the same for every weapon.
The formula for this (that I discovered myself over a year ago) is 30% of the damage.
If an attack does 100 damage, it does 30 stamina damage. Vanguard has 100 stamina, Knight and Footman have 80, Skirmisher has 70 and Archers have 50.
Chop weapons like Axes get a 10% extra and Blunt weapons get 25% extra.
Battleaxe special attack does 100 damage so it does 33 stamina damage.
Polehammer special attack does 100 damage so it does 37.5 (which then could be rounding up or down, I dont know.)
Not a stupid question at all.
@@Ziggylata I didn't realize there were so many numbers involved to explain as to why my weapon slaps me in the face when I yry to anti-gank sometimes haha. Thanks, man. Also, I can't find the answer on reddit or any other chat/community platform, but since I've used the Pole Axe I can't tell if its not doing its bonus shield damage or its just so little a bonus it doesn't actually matter statistically?
If I'm not using this weapon I main archer , but Im an aggressive not afraid to melee kinda archer like those ones in the video running into battle 😂
Will you do the limited time volly game mode??
It's really bad.
is anyone else having problems with ping after the crossplay update?
There is noooooo way the pole axe has the most fans :P i hardly ever see anyone use this weapon
