As an Archer, you are legally obligated to make the enemy team have a really, really bad time.
We pew pew, they mad.
So many people play archer and don’t realize how powerful they are I shoot people stay way behind my team where the spawns are and wait for salty people to come and kill me and my teammates almost always kill them or I shoot them and just watch as they seethe I’ve dropped 50 kill 3 death games doing this shit lmao
I do realize I’m being an asshole tho the only reason I started archer was because of getting shit on by other archers and having my entire day ruined
A good archer generates salt in chat.
This is very true xD
OH YES
This is how I gauge my Archer play! My goal is to see some type of negative comment towards Archers at the end of the match.
KILL THE COWARDLY ARCHERS
FACTSSSSS
The one thing an archer hates is another archer.
This is very true..
Fighting other archers Is the best there mushy
Nah having sniper duels with another archer in a team match is so cool because you kinda form an unspoken rivalry
One of the big advantages I’ve noticed in using the standard bow, is that you move quicker and your high rate of fire allows for better short range combat. Don’t be afraid to stay in the capture zone, your bow can be used as a melee weapon and most melee classes don’t expect it.
That is true! I have just noticed that when I am using a warbow those archers in a cap zone easily get donked with the heavy hitting arrow! I do like the fast draw on the normal bow, but the warbow gives satisfaction when you dome someone in one shot and knock em out!
Yep I've had many outcomes where the arrow goes through people and doesn't damage them
Yeah I dont know what this issue is, but it should be resolved somewhat now with the new update!
I think its because of the different internetconnection. Some people i hit easy others i have no chance
I got that problem too its horrible
@@Gwyevsjeykfbegau It not internetconnection. I played offline vs bots and my arrows just fly through them without damage.
I think hit registration has a lot to do with ping. I notice a lot of tracers going right through a target with no hit detection
I love archers, they make really easy targets for my highland great sword.
Playing vanguard, going for archers is always fun xD
Archer tips:
With the shortbow try to play hyrbid melee. Harrass before each engagement and look out for easy kills on retreating enemies, but when you have no opportunities for clear shots you can do great work supporting your allies in melee. Switch EARLY, dont wait till the enemy is rushing your face before swapping weapon otherwise you will give them a free hit you cant afford to take.
The shortbow excels at being opportunistic, so always be positioning yourself in awkward spots where you're just close enough to the action that the enemy cant reasonably disengage without being shot, but also just far enough back that they cant fully focus on you without being intercepted by your team. In the bigger fights your job is to prevent the enemy from healing and to punish them for flanking.
Longbow is slow af and as such you need to fight from a bit further back, which lowers your chances at opportunistic shots. Instead you want to play as a counter-archer primarily but remember that hitting an enemy archer that is aware of you can be a waste of time, as they will evade the shots easy. Instead you want to try to stealthkill them, but as soon as they are aware of you, switch targets whilts pressuring with the threat. Ideally you want to position around cover so they waste time spamming at you whilst you're getting hits on their team; then as soon as they switch focus you go for another stealth snipe.
With the longbow its powerful to hit enemies who are just about to engage in melee; one shot and you leave them vulnerable to being killed in one swing by your allies. You can do a lot of work by just tagging each enemy once as they join the main fight and giving your knights a conga-line of easy kills.
If you are being focused by melee users, just land one hit then swap to melee. Its not worth trying to land the second shot with the slow draw. So long as you land the first hit you have a favourable fight on your hands, as you will only need one or two hits with your fast weapon, and if you have good mindgames you can outplay a lot of the slower weapons pretty well. Most players will swing fairly thoughtlessly at archers, so practice some duels and take them by surprise.
I disagree with the switching early part.
There has been times where me lining up one last shot was enough to make the difference. Either killing the enemy or damaging them enough for an easy cudgel kill. And the cudgel can only block so much before breaking anyway, why allow it to take a hit when you can use that time to do damage.
I also play in 3rd person for better situational awareness. So I can see enemies coming from a mile away even when aiming. I always get one last shot in and the cudgel can usually finish them off because it's so fast
@@youtubesucks1821 And I disagree with that. Skilled players can easily avoid your arrows even at close range. Not worth it unless the opponent is all bloody and you know it's a kill shot, wait until melee range and swinging animation, then he cannot dodge. If you don't switch weapon on time you die 100% of the time. I usually get in a hit well before the enemy is close, but going for that 2nd shot never works out for me.
Makes me happy to see the "omg fuck off archers" comments in game chat. It means I'm doing my job well.
L
Warbow is my favorite, takedown is guaranteed 95% of time if you hit somebody. Also what I like to do as longbowman, is to pick up better secondary from dead enemy or if it's laying around, stuff like one handed axe, warhammer, mace, falchion.
I would love to see guides or tips on every subclass, the more chivalry content the better!
I've been playing sice beta with some 6 moths break and I still don't know which class i like best, I often find myself playing different role each game :D
Thanks for the comment! I will dive into all the sub classes and figure out which ones are good and then dive into all the sub classes after all the main ones are covered!
The fact they have brought back the arrow cam from the first Chivalry game is amazing
Javalen's so fun to use. Starting as a Rank 1 Bow Archer was tough and if your aim with it is trash I reccomend just picking up a weapon on the floor and going into battle as a weak melee fighter until you get the Crossbow at lvl 4. The crossbow is pretty is good even for new players. But the javalen and War Bow are godly.
So instead of learning to use the bow, you recommend going on suicide rush? When you finally get War bow and you still can't aim for shit you'll only feel like it was a downgrade from crossbow. Those 2 feel very different to use.
@@spugelo359yes.. 💀 personally, staying in the back and using a bow is just boring asf to me, so I did exactly this to level up archer 😍 it’s more fun being in the shit, if you die, no one is gonna care 💀
@@Blue-cw1wb You can also get close to combat with bow too. Just need to make sure you're always near team mates, otherwise you're just walking free xp. Although you do less damage with a bow you still have more ammo.
@@spugelo359 while this is true, you can be in close combat with the bow but it’s never supposed to be primarily used in close combat and more of a last resort
@@Blue-cw1wb Near team mates. Just make sure there's always somebody between you and your enemy. Then it doesn't matter how far you're from it... except the closer the easier to hit. If it's at melee distance then obviously switch to melee.
Seriously, it's so much fun when somebody that thinks very highly of himself tries to ambush you, get stuck fighting a team mate instead... and a few arrows in the back. You can block swords, axes and maces all you want but arrow aint on the list.
The subclasses are pretty unique from each other so I’d rather see you dive into each one in these types of vids 👍
I hear you! I will probably do one for each class then dive into each sub-class after all main ones are covered! :D
@@HurricaneTurtle subbed :)
Thanks a lot! :D@@ahhhsothisishowyouchangean162
@@HurricaneTurtle great idea! My favorite part of this game is all the ways to play
There will be some more spesific videos on the subclasses when I have gotten all the main ones out! :D
“GET THOSE DAMN ARCHERS!”
For peak performance, pull out the cudger and destroy knights in 1v1
Cudger 🗿
Good points. How I use them
Archer: Highly mobile projectile unit. Should prioritize long range engagement due to low health, may join melee only if absolutely needed (like irl)
Crossbowman: Pavise allows more stationary play, while being close support (banner), ideal unit when you want to shoot at enemies between teammates
Skirmisher: Close-mid range projectile unit with melee support, should prioritize enemy melee units over enemy archers
Thanks for the tips now I won't turn my teammates into porcupines
Good channel and nice editing :)
A good tip would be the Developers adding a button to stop that damn pop up saying press middle mouse for arrow cam.
God this looks so much better on pc, i miss my pc
How different does it look on console? :o
@@HurricaneTurtle the controls for sensitivity suck and the abilities to revive someone and emote are on the same button so when u revive you emote and they die 😑and yea nice graphics but honestly they only put effort into PC then console so if u want the game get it on PC. I'm a PC guy but my PC broke and I'm stuck with useless console and honestly I will always go PC better controls, better sensitivity functions and last but not least the graphics are better and it won't crash mid game lol
what happened to your pc?
@@user-wr6dj4ib9o I was told it's a overheating problem
@@governmentanarchy6476 sounds like laptop problem
you gonna get new one though?
This video is really high quality, you deserve more subs
Thanks a lot! Havent made videos for a while now sadly, mostly been doing music! Should I get back to video making?
@@HurricaneTurtle you totally should man. You’ve got a good personality and the videos are well done. I would definitely watch regularly
i like thast you kept ''medic stuff'' in there lol made me like and sub
I love playing war bow, I prefer to be just behind the front line, I'm more than decent in melee combat, and I've found that if someone is charging you, two full draw shots and the bow special is enough to either get the frag or it will at least give you enough time to pull out your secondary weapon
i feel like a broken record since like a week or two when saying i cant w8 for chiv 2, but atleast i have you to quench my thirst with content :D
and those juicy shots, im no archer main but i did like it in mordhau and imma be honest, as annoying archers can be, i can still respect some of the shots they actually hit
For sure! I am glad I can fill your need for chiv 2 on steam with some videos! Archery in chivalry 2 is actually quite a lot of fun so I would recommend you giving it a SHOT!
very nice overview!
Thank you good sir! Its meant to be a general overview to new players, not a super detailed guide
Great guide, archer is my main so im used to getting teabagged lol but its so fun
Oh great experienced one! Please tell me I’m not the only one who thinks archer is hard
8:20 happened to me alot at release on epic launcher and made me stop playing the game after a week or two, did they fix this issue with arrows and spears or is it still a problem? I want to get back to the game but not if this bug is still in the game.
I’ve had had a javelin hit an enemy and not do any damage at all but it’s still stuck in them
Bit extra tip imo:
Learn to fight melee aswell, usually the other classes think archers are easy targets and they just blindly swing at you like complete idiots since you are an "easy kill".
There were times where i 4v1 killed heavier classes as an archer in melee just 'cuz of this. (i actually like to go close up as an archer sometimes)
It also helps a lot with team objectives, since you can block up paths and occupy a few enemies, or capture stuff etc.
I prefer the longbow over the war bow, the war bow just has too much of a slow draw, the damage output is higher sure but not worth the slow draw.
I find the longbow allowing more arrows to be fired off adds more pressure and not only that but war bow only has 12 arrows compared to the longbows 20
how do you switch to the arrow camera?
How do you stop the bow from shooting after you've already drawn it all the way back?
Press X stimphy doo
@@taylorlittle5771 on keyboard?
I have seen too many of my arrow go through an enemy and not register
still feels like arrows still have hit detection issue?
50 points for raven claw!
Thank you
No problem!
They should def rework the classes a bit (maybe in Chivalry 3?)
I know Archers can swing their bow, can they block? No right? They should, nerf archer in other ways (maybe arrows can be blocked but your timing or aim has to be more precise to block) and buff them by turning their bow into a proper melee weapon with a decent damage profile, then you can eventually add a new bow that has crappier arrows but better melee potential
Maybe a poison tipped arrow class type too where they can poison their own arrows and swords, which is just small ticks of damage overtime (maybe other classes can also poison tip their own weapons by smearing them in dung around the map lol)
This would be similar to fire arrows where it’s an ability that you charge over time
Anyways I really hate oil pot and throwable sim general on console, pressing both bumpers at the same time sucks, half of the time I accidentally stab or overhead…
YES MEE LAWRD
Good lad!
Why cant I equip the weathered war bow ? I have it unlocked...
I think that archers are good on crowded control
I main archer on ps5. I study/train eastern turkish instinctive archery in real life. 3 most important tips for archer on console. 1: turn off aim assist. 2: shoot fast don't wait just throw ur arrows u got 20 shots, shoot at big groups. 3: U can do alot of damage if u learn to shoot fast in close-mid range. Extra tip the new updates allows u to be horse archer, like turkish horse archers which feels so damn cool.
Imagine the salt you could generate when they patch it. I had a great run and I’d say 70% of my arrows existed.
How do you unlock it?
It feels so hard to hit people with the archer in game :(
You're absolutely right. I don't know if it's because of the reticle or what but arrows don't feel like it arches right.
Just takes a few hours worth of practice. I’ve reached the point where I can pelt people for like 7 shots without missing
unfortunately steam release is out and spikes still break in 2 hits but great vid
Yea bow attack pretty quick and unsuspected
how u see arrows in the air ?
arrow cam ?
On pc its holding middle mouse after shooting, it follows the arrow or any thrown probejectile!
Archers whenever you are playing and you have a capture point you need to be close enough to be counted in the capture. I have played games where we have lost because there were too many archers not in the capture point and the enemy simply outnumbered us
This always frustrated me when I played melee, so as archer i play aggressive and try to prevent this by playing near the objective and either weakening the enemies for the melee to finish off or thinning out their numbers. Works even better with a brazier
You need to do therapy tapes, your voice is just epic...
Is they a way for me to just pick an archer class getting spawned with random wepons suck
You pause in game and pick change class and pick which class/ subclass you want
I have never played archer and never will
I find archery difficult on xbox. Shots often times trace right through a target with no hit
Yeah it's not easy I've been mostly using the class with the horn ability to heal myself & others instead
I fuck people up witht eh javelins. You go for head shots enough times it gets easier. Im still ass with the bow
As someone who used archer class once, never again
I'm really good in fps but hitting projectiles is pretty hard. Also the animations and hit boxes are pretty bad in this game.
They're some of the best you will find in any game.
But the visual indicator for arrows is whack.
I damage more friendlies than enemies with a bow
Knight
I suck at archer .i be hitting my own team members 😂
2024 Arrows still don't hit their target as they should
i expected more from crossbow and skirmisher, but only having footage of warbow and nothing else makes this not have that much credibility, and the things stated were quite obvious to anyone that plays for 1hr or 2
Dont worry! There are videos coming diving into more depth into each subclass as well! :D
Good guide for archer dont be a wuss atleast they're is some archers that will use their knife
The game keeps forcing me to play as the Ax man Everytime I die It won't let me be Archer unless I pick up someone's Bow
I skipped the tutorial someone please tell me how to e Archer?
You probably got unlucky and too many people were archers on your team
You pause the game then click change class in match go over to the archer class pick the subclass of archer you want and play the life out of the class you was and next time u die you should spawn as archer as long as it's available
The archers in chivalry 2 are not half as annoying as in chivalry 1...
Front lines with a bow is much fun, play like COD and drop 100 k on easy moving targets.
:D
Archers are little pricks
I just bash kill people with crossbow XD OWNED
Archer guide: Don't be a dick, use a melee weapon like the rest of us
Easy 3 steps archer guide:
1. Pick archer
2. Press F10
3. Go back to step 1
I think you should play more offensively. You are too far from battle. As an archer, yopu should help teammets on 1v1 battles in my opinion, not focus on other archers
"Hopefully they will make arrows more reliable so they will actually hit their targets."
Yeah... no, they didn't, and they won't. The collision detection in this game has been total shit since day one, and they will never make it better.
Archer class guide: step one, don’t play the archer.
XD
Ugh. The basic information is correct, but other than that, the video shows quite bad behaviour.
1. No teamdamage! If 2+ teammates fight a single enemy, don't shoot! If there is a high chance to hit a teammate, don't shoot!
2. Don't camp and try to play sniper. This isn't CoD. Move with your teammates, support them. Being closer to the enemies means more reliable hits and you also draw the attention of the enemy archers.
3. If you have a high K/D as an archer, you are either very good or very bad.
4. hit f10 and switch class
lol you missed 9/10 shots in the background footage... lol
A good archer will get a vote kick against them
F yall
Second
Silver medal to you good sir!
@@HurricaneTurtle Thank you sir
the arrows in this game are aids, i literally cant hit shit with it. and i had to mod my skyrim because it has a range limit on arrows. so im not bad with a bow, the arrows are confirmed to be cancerous aids in THIS game.
this video should get you banned on chiv 2 and deleted off of youtube this is disgusting behaviour
I take it an archer has destroyed you a few times too many
@@kingbeeYT ban this guy as well
@@coolio7807 cry harder. Let the hate fuel you
@@kingbeeYT i hope you do know this is sarcasm right?
@@coolio7807 yeah lol I was playing along.
What I hate about archers is not that they kill you from afar. Is that when you finally get near one to hit them, they simple don't die! like they have double the shield or something, and are incredible fast in melee, faster than any others class. That's simple not fair. They are overpowered.
Cope, they have almost half the HP of most classes, they are slow than vanguards, and all the weapons have short range.
If you die to them on full HP you've been outplayed.
archery is terrible in this game.
na, can't say that. I love it.
@@diabolo_twitch8920 its still terrible. Physical attack needs a nerf almost tripling the Magical attack not double.
Worthless class for incels.
Yeesh this was so rambly and poorly paced. You repeat yourself like 6 times to unlock the war bow. Barely give any real advice or strategy beyond "unlock war bow by farming points". Maybe give aiming advice, secondary weapon advice, literally anything really actually useful or beyond surface level. Other youtubers cover these classes so much more in depth
Someone died to archer
needs nerf
