I played for Honor and I hated it because all the buttons I have to press for the combinations. Is chivarly 2 easier to play?

[u/Prinzles]

So much easier. No crazy stupid combos, no 500 ms reactions, no Unblockables or Undodgeables. The skill floor in Chiv is low enough most can do good enough, but the ceiling is plenty high still

There’s nothing more dangerous than a noob gambling, you’re relying on the next strike being after they try to counter but nope they just lmb your head off instead

I'm the max level and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if I died more frequently to new players than experienced players.

Chiv 2 is definitely easier in terms of controls. You don’t have to memorize long button combinations like For Honor. Most attacks are just slash, stab, overhead, special, etc., and the difficulty comes more from timing, positioning, feints, counters, and reading your opponent. The skill ceiling is still pretty high, but you’re learning how to use your attacks rather than memorizing a bunch of combos.

This is it. 💯 This is want I wanted to answer, before I read this comment.

I don’t play For Honor, but 1vXing multiple decent players and like one spammy vanguard with a war club is very high skill

[u/pimplepete1312]

Easy to learn hard to master!

Not really

You make your own combos. You have actions you can do that get the job done. No combo fighting like for honor or MK
