How to break a combo in the new knockback system.
I've seen a lot of posts in the past month complaining about the new knockback,
mainly about combos, so I figured I could create a thread explaining how to escape one.
Obviously, these only work if you apply them correctly, so keep that in mind.
Please note that these methods apply to all pvp-based games
METHOD 1
RUN
If you get stuck in a combo, your first reaction will be to keep swinging right?
You want to hit them to break the combo, so you try to.
But the way combos work stop that from happening.
So, instead of trying to hit them, you want to run from them.
That's it.
You can break combos by turning and running.
In fact, sometimes their hits will even boost you further away,
Helping you to get out faster.
METHOD 2
Place Blocks
If you place blocks in your opponent's path,
Their movement will be impeded by the blocks.
This will break the combo,
And allow you to combo them yourself.
METHOD 3
Projectiles
If you have a bow, you can fire several shots quickly,
(without fully charging)
And this will knock the player back,
and reset their movement,
breaking the combo.
idk what to put for outro so bye.
edit: also i put this together in like ten minutes so I probably forgot some other ways feel free to reply with them below
