Brawling Guide
Brawling Guide
Below you'll find everything important to know about using Brawling.
In a Nutshell
Pros
- No need to carry the extra weight of a weapon or shield.
- You can use Skill Points (SP) from Pankration to learn Brawling (and vice versa).
- Brawling can be used to complement most weapon-based skill sets. When wielding a weapon/shield, only kick, knee, Foot Stomp, Knee Break & Head Butt will be available to use.
Cons
- Blocking with your bare (unarmored) limbs can cause you to take damage. The damage you take is negated after rank 60 in the associated block.
Advice & Tips
- To avoid getting stuck in RT when attacking right after being knocked down, use toggle-groundfight to disable (or re-enable) attacking while prone.
- Until your blocks are ranked high enough to no longer inflict damage on you, a strong pair of left & right manica and thigh greaves are highly recommended to reduce any damage you take from blocking.
Weapons
SPECIAL NOTE: While Brawling requires no weapons to use, your starting attack damage will be low, requiring 151(?) ranks to fully maximize.
Armor
- Until your blocks are ranked high enough to no longer inflict damage on you, a strong pair of left & right manica and thigh greaves are highly recommended to reduce any damage you take from blocking.
Moves
Worthwhile
- Foot Stomp - Great knockdown move. High crit rate. Can be used with or without a weapon wielded.
- Knee Break - Great knockdown move. Harder to land than Foot Stomp, but will often stun. High crit rate. Can be used with or without a weapon wielded.
- Leg Whip - Versatile attack, can be used while laying and it triggers a rise.
- Punch - Highly accurate (easy to land) attack, but does weak damage.
Less useful
