One-Hit Insta-Stun Death - Can someone explain melee to me?

  • It seems almost invariably that if I get into a melee fight in this game, I take 1 hit from my opponent, after which I'm stunned, I can't turn, move extremely slowly, and pretty much can't do anything but sit there and wait to die.

    On the other hand, when I hit people, they seem relatively unaffected.

    Perhaps this is a ping issue? Playing from Australia I probably have at least 220 ms of latency to game servers, assuming this game actually uses a dedicated servers and not Peer-to-Peer.

  • It sounds like your foes are using the sword charge attack on you. If you hold down attack for a few moments, you will do a lunge . This lunge will stun opponents, but while your charging your turn speed is reduced. If you get to know what the animation looks like, and you see it coming your best bet is to try and circle away from the attack or gain distance. Try recognizing and avoiding the charge strikes while using them to your advantage as well.
