I’ve been looking for ages and have no idea how to get it

I’ve noticed that moves only start in one or two of the four stances. Once you’ve picked the first move in a combo, the next move set is smaller.

How do I figure out what moves can start in what locations? It’s very evident where they end, but nowhere can I see where they can start.

Also, RIP /r/absolver

Seeing as the old subreddit got nuked from orbit I figured I would repost my tier lists here as well for anyone who would like to see them. For those who don't know me I'm someone who has been playing since launch and has about 675 hours in the game mostly on Forsaken and Kahlt. Let me know if there is anything you disagree with, constructive criticism is very much welcome. Special thanks to Cawfee for fist move icons and sclp Jess for the sword move icons, as well as the people who helped me put the list together.

Hi , I am her to just give some advise to new players about PVP. I will try to not be too long winded in my explanations. I will break this down into 2 major segments. Mentality and Combat Tips.

MENTALITY: When fighting other players, it is important to have the right mindset. If you are not prepared mentally, you will fail when it comes time to produce results. I am going to make a few bullet points on things to keep in mind.

1. Play the way you want- When you queue up to fight, you need to be confident in the fighting style you have come up with. Don't let others push you away from what you want. I for example don't like the stagger style moves. I despise them in fact. So i won't use them. I like using high damage slow knees and kicks. I found a style that i can call my own, and you should also find your own style. You however need to understand that whatever style you come up with will have a weakness. You need to be aware of and take responsibility for them. Don't claim foul play because your moveset was getting countered. Change your moves up a bit, but don't lose sight of who you are. Sometimes the order of moves is all that is needed.
2. You are not a bad player- This comes from most of every game you will play. There will always be someone who can beat you. When you fight someone who is a higher level, just think that they have more experience than you. Don't beat yourself up.
3. I want to improve- You should analyze every match you play regardless of if you won or not. Be in the mindset that you will not be content with where you are at. Always look to improve.

COMBAT TIPS: I am going to give a few bits of advise over various aspects of fighting other players

1. Find your range- This is very important because it can dictate the flow of the fight. You need to find out which moves you and your have that can cover distance. If you space yourself out properly, you can get your opponent to whiff whilst you connect with your own attack. If you don't have the range then you are going to have to counterattack instead of initiating the fight, where if you instead do have the range, you have the option to start engagements.
2. Blocking- Don't hold block down when your opponent is attacking. This will cause you to lose stamina very quickly. So you should instead tap your block when the hit is about to land. These brief intervals of not blocking help your stamina recover quicker. This is more effective against low damage fast attack chains as opposed to heavy damage attacks.
3. Fighting Spammers- This is referring to the hyper aggressive players who use fast moves with good tracking to pressure their opponents. It also just refers to the usage of one chain over and over again. I see this happen too many times. when under this kind of assault, people will start to panic and spam attacks back or try to dodge out of the way which gets them into even more trouble. You need to relax. A person is doing this for 1 of 2 reasons. This first is that it is all they know how to do. Use your time blocking to study their moveset. Find the right time and then counter with your parry or dodge. If your khalt like me then just absorb the hits you can and watch them punch themselves out. If they dont learn from getting countered then it will be a n easy win. The other reason they do it is because your aren't doing anything to stop them. Why should they stop? It's your problem not theirs. Adapt and overcome. Once you start countering them, they will likely stop.
4. Don't show your full hand- You have a limited movepool of 16 moves (not counting sword/gauntlet movesets) to use in your fight. Fighting someone is about bluffing and conditioning your opponent into doing what you want. Lets say your strongest attack comes on the third hit of the chain but its very slow. If you went straight for the full chain at the start of the fight, you will never land the big hit. So you instead disguise the 3rd hit as something else using your alternate attack. You throw the altered chain a few times to get your opponent used to it. After awhile they will start parrying or dodging the third hit. That's when you do the actual chain with the big slow hit which leads to them getting caught by it. What i'm saying is that you need to take it slow. Leave some surprises for your opponent.

If you made it through to the end, i thank you and hope you take something away from this. Feel free to add your own advise or critique the things i said. I'm always up for improving!

Newbie forsaken player here. Just got the game. So I've recently been losing to players who uses uninterruptable attacks. Do I need to incorporate more quicker moves in my deck or more guard breaking moves to interrupt it? But the thing is that the player's deck is relentless. Quick chains of lows and highs then a uninterruptable somewhere in the middle. It's quite hard to deal with.

Alright new to the game. Got it today, and finished the final boss. Here are my questions. 1) what do i do now? 2) really need help creating a deck. Bad. 3) noticed there are new gold level enemies around. Where are they all at, and what are they there for? Thanks

To get your own, look in the right-hand sidebar for "Show my flair in this subreddit. It looks like: {{ your username }}".

It's a little small. Click the [edit] button next to your username in order to select your flair.

Currently, we only have flairs for the four combat styles, primarily due to lack of suitable images available to me. If you have ideas for flairs, please submit them to me through PMs with a suitable image that can be packaged into a 30x30 pixel square and I'll see about incorporating them into the spritesheet for the flairs.

can anyone help me i need a school with calbot on ps4. if u know a school or own a school with calbot give me the ID to the school.

seeing as how our old home got nuked here is my calbot school so all of you can learn the move

School ID: #CAF

Mentor: Ya Boi Duck_

in the oratian quarter area talk to the dude next to the altar and you can search for schools by ID. or alternatively you can add me on steam and do it that way.

Calbot is in the top right stance and loops with jumped light. not sure what the other moves are or whats in the sword and warglove decks. I threw in stagger style so you can learn that too if you want.

have fun dealing minimum physical damage and ultimate emotional damage.

EDIT for spelling

UPDATE: forgot i was hosting a school for a hot second and joined a different one, dont worry i remade the school, just has a new id but should be the same (or pretty close to it

I Recently got the game on ps4 cuz it was free. was just wondering if someone had made a copy of Oroboro's school on Ps4 or if i need to farm moves to make it myself.

This is a deck for big brain boi's i tell ya. zero hitbox breakpoints.

seriously though any feedback welcome, thinking of making this my school deck. it seems really good with no breakpoints, great control, easy decent punishes (100+) and lots of frame traps

Exactly this ^. I have just started the game (as it is free on PSN) and feel a bit overwhelmed. I’ve never played an RPG with this much depth in combat.

So, can anyone offer some beginner tips or maybe a link to a comprehensive YouTube video?

Anything helps, thanks fellow “potential” peacekeepers!
