comment
Mordhau is a medieval melee multiplayer game developed by Triternion Studios. It's a Spiritual Successor to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, specifically made by veterans of the game to correct upon its flaws and modernize it.Players have access to a sizable arsenal of medieval weapons, shields and armor from multiple ages, each with its own stats and style. Combat consists of a variety of directional swings and stabs, which can be combined with parries, feints, ripostes, chambers and more, all of which can be combined in almost any manner conceivable. The combat system can be very difficult to pick up due to its complexity and lethality, but leads to even small skirmishes having their depth and some impressive, practically cinematic duels among skilled players.It was released in April 29th 2019.

Rocks, which can be thrown as projectiles and are capable of killing people with tiny amounts of damage. A variant is the horse turd, which is dropped by horses and is used as the primary ranged attack of Horde Mode enemies.

Parrying Bullets: A well-timed parry or strike can swat a projectile out of the air. Doing the latter even nets you an achievement. Even bullets shot from the 1411 handgun can be parried.

Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_15264ac9
comment
Unexpectedly Realistic Gameplay: Anyone going without a helmet will find themselves dying from a single strike to the head an awful lot. Swinging wildly in a crowded melee tends to result in you striking and even killing teammates, while doing so in tight quarters will likely get your weapon caught on walls and other obstacles. While you can perform swings and thrusts with any weapon, many weapons are better suited for one technique. Stabbing somebody with the flat head of an axe, for instance, will do negligible damage.

Heal Thyself: Bandages are a cheap way to regain your health, if you can't wait for the Regenerating Health to kick in (or, in Horde mode, if you can't risk playing offensively to regen through damage-dealing). Medic bags are even more effective and can be thrown on the ground to be shared with other players.

Rule of Fun
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_1a8b9a47
comment
The various two-handed swords are slower than they are in real life, and all the weapon attacks have various tells and telegraphs that would probably get you killed if you tried them on a real medieval battlefield. However, a game with realistic weapon speeds and no tells wouldn't be very fair or balanced, so the game deviates from real life to preserve Rule of Fun.

comment
Anachronism Stew: The developers intentionally let the game's setting and time period vague so that players have more freedom with their customizations. This leads into situations like vikings fighting side-by-side with a knight in Gothic armor, wielding rapiers and zweihanders, against landsknechte with throwing axes, among other things. Correspondingly, players' making use of Virtual Paper Doll are able to reproduce characters from all sorts of settings and time periods.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: On Grad defense, the Iron Guard's commander is a behemoth, easily able to cleave through hordes of enemies, and can take a fair share of damage to boot. Facing him in melee is a death sentence - he can damage through a parry, he can't be flinched, and you're likely to be swarmed by his allies as they rush to defend the objective. So what's the catch? He's slow. Incredibly slow - and with no cover aside from destructible fortifications, he can easily be overwhelmed by a rain of arrows and fire pots. Sure, those arrows deal minimal damage. But when the entire enemy team can freely pepper your giant self as you're boxed in by fire and blue knights? Those arrows start to become far more than just "annoying".

Glass Cannon: Any low-armored player with a high-damage weapon is this. Notable examples include the maul and the zweihander, and certain polearms; many powerful weapons have high point costs that leave less room for armor and perks.

Money Sink: Unlocking some of weapon skins or armor pieces takes a ridiculous amount of gold, sometimes ranging in the tens of thousands. For comparison, unlocking weapons themselves only needs 300 to 500 gold. Although, given that there are no microtransactions in the game, the only thing required of the player is to fight in battles and earn their battle pay.

Lethal Joke Character
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_36249acd
comment
Lethal Joke Character: If you're really good at defending yourself by parrying, Mercenaries with the peasant perk easily can become this. They can't wear any real armor, but their weapons can deal a surprising amount of damage. Namely, the Scythe is extremely lethal against lightly armored opponents, but does little against medium armor and next-to-nothing against heavy armor. Meanwhile, the sledgehammer is by far the slowest weapon in the game, does mediocre damage, and unlike the maul cannot be thrown, but it will completely drain an opponent’s stamina in just a few hits, and its slow speed ends up making it quite unpredictable.

Rule of Cool
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_36e63b81
comment
Painted armor pieces are among the most expensive and prestigious in the game, but in real life painted armor was usually mass-produced and cheap — paint could be used to hide imperfections, while removing the need for polishing. This meant that plain metal was seen as a mark of quality and personal status, due to the expense of maintaining it. However, custom-painted armor is seen by modern audiences as more distinctive, so the pieces are considered more valuable.

No Fair Cheating

comment
No Fair Cheating: Horde mode enemies can't jump and don't have great pathfinding, which means there are places in a given map they cannot reach. Hiding in one of those places, however, may under certain circumstances lead to them pelting you with minimal-damage turds until you get back down or die. They almost never do this otherwise, despite apparently having an infinite supply of crap.

comment
Stance System: Pressing the R button lets you access an alternate grip mode for certain weapons. In most cases, the alternate grip shortens the weapon's reach in exchange for faster attacks. Exceptions include bastard swords, which switch from one-handed to two-handed grip, while longswords can access the aforementioned mordhau grip, and Greatswords can be carried half-sworded to increase stabbing effectiveness; the Heavy Handaxe can also be turned around to use its hammer side, the Billhook can be set to push or pull on a stab and do the opposite on a swing, and the more swing-appropriate polearms can be flipped around to access the other side's weapon. Averted with most one-handed weapons, which are thrown instead.

Hammer Hilt: Half-swording can be done with greatswords and zweihänders to make stabbing and blocking easier and make sure swings don't get caught in a corridor's walls. The titular mordhau technique done with longswords and estocs, and as usual involves grabbing the sword by the blade and smashing people's faces in with the pommel and crossguard — practical when fighting someone with tier-3 heavy armor that'll shrug off a blade.

Picking the Peasant perk restricts your gear selection to farming tools and other Improvised Weapons a medieval serf would likely have access to. On top of that, the only armor a peasant mercenary can wear is a one-point helmet (i.e: a hat) of their choice.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Having a shield is a large boon for survivalbility, as you can hold your block instead of having a strict timing window as in parrying.

Artistic License – History
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: The equipment available in game is jumbled together from roughly 1000 years of history for the sake of variety. Apart from this, there are some minor inaccuracies here and there in regards to the equipment itself: The visored barbute and its derivatives are based on erroneous Victorian reconstructions rather than actual historical armor. The eye slits on the Flat Templar and Round Templar helmets are far too big compared to historical examples, a common error which most of the other in-game helmets actually avoid. Painted armor pieces are among the most expensive and prestigious in the game, but in real life painted armor was usually mass-produced and cheap — paint could be used to hide imperfections, while removing the need for polishing. This meant that plain metal was seen as a mark of quality and personal status, due to the expense of maintaining it. However, custom-painted armor is seen by modern audiences as more distinctive, so the pieces are considered more valuable. The in-game representation of the coat of plates has the plates bare on the outside of the garment, rather than having an extra layer of padding over them as in real life. A more accurate version was added in a later update, and two more variants were added in patch 18 and 25. The Wedge Armet helmet is fictional, and was put into the game as a tribute to the Lawbringer class from For Honor.

Lodged-Blade Recycling: You can reuse swords, arrows, and throwing axes that lodged into characters. Pulling out lodged weapons from still-living characters will never hurt them, and doing this to an enemy player happens to be an achievement.

Sickening "Crunch!"
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_637b6123
comment
Sickening "Crunch!": If a player kills with a headshot, a metallic crunch will sound out. This happens even if performed with a ranged weapon, against a target far away enough that the player shouldn't be able to hear the result. Meanwhile, the maul is uniquely capable of delivering a One-Hit Kill by reducing someone's head, helmet and all, to a chunky red paste. The resulting splatter is notorious among the playerbase for being quite loud and distinctive.

Armor Is Useless
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_638b65bc
comment
Armor Is Useless: Not in this game. Having good armor can mean the difference between dying from a single stab to taking dozens of hits without dying. Of course, wearing that much plate will slow your character's movement speed. However, actions such as weapon swing speeds are not influenced by this, meaning a fully-armored character wielding one weapon can attack and defend at the same rate as a lightly armored opponent with the same weapon. It also matters where you have armor - going without a helmet will leave you vulnerable to One-Hit Kill blows to the head, while bear traps will dismember anyone lacking leg armor.

Improbable Use of a Weapon
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_63a8a557
comment
Improbable Use of a Weapon: The titular mordhau grip, which involves your character holding a longsword by its blade and hitting enemies with the pommel or crossguard. Especially useful against heavily-armored enemies, as blunt strikes go through armor better than cuts or thrusts. This is actually a case of Truth in Television: the mordhau is a real technique that was taught in several schools of fencing, such as the German Lichtenauer or the Italian Fiore styles. Similarly, greatswords and the even larger zweihanders allow for half-swording, holding the sword by its blade half-way like a spear to facilitate stabbing. This stance also allows greatswords to be used in narrow areas more efficiently, as shorter swings are less likely to get caught on obstacles such as walls and doorways.

Ragdoll Physics: A minor, but attractive selling point is the heavy ragdolling of corpses. Strike someone with a maul full-on, and they'll fly a foot or two into the ground. Hit someone on horseback hard enough to kill however, and be prepared to see some ridiculous aerial stunts. And if siege weaponry is involved, things get sillier.

Weapon-Based Characterization
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_7098892d
comment
Weapon-Based Characterization: There are many weapons in Mordhau available for players, and they have diffrent traits. Axe: Varies from small throwing axes to massive pole axes (for when you can't pick between a spear, an axe, or a hammer). In general, axes deal massive amounts of damage on swings at the cost of pathetic thrusting attacks, and are particularly good at hacking structures apart. BFS: Greatswords and Zweihanders are among the most damaging weapons in the game, offset by their low attack speed and impracticality in close-quarters. Executioner Swords are lesser examples, in that they're not as big but have added weight that makes their slashes deadlier (and better at armor-piercing), in exchange for having a blunt tip. Carry a Big Stick: You can use maces in this game. Mercenaries with the "peasant" perk can use a heavy branch from a tree as their primitive bludgeon. Frying Pan of Doom: Mercenaries with the "peasant" perk can choose a frying pan as their weapon. It acts like a club. Good Old Fisticuffs: When nothing else is available, you can always fall back on your fists. It actually deals noticeable damage, more so if you pick the appropriate perk, and you can hold your guard up infinitely like a shield (even if it won't actually block a real weapon). Hooks and Crooks: While the billhook is mostly a normal polearm, that hook on one end is a useful bonus that will help pull infantry around during certain attacks and, more importantly, yank cavalry riders right off their horses if you catch them right. Javelin Thrower: The javelins are stronger throwing weapon. They have only two charges per equip and take a long time to throw, but hit hard. Jousting Lance: Useless on-foot, but when mounted on a horse, a strike from a couched lance is often enough to kill in one hit. Emergency Weapon: You can equip the carving knife which as stated earlier is Joke Item that's great only at Death of a Thousand Cuts. There's also throwing knives as ranged weapon. They are especially good against unarmored opponents. Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Having a shield is a large boon for survivalbility, as you can hold your block instead of having a strict timing window as in parrying. Crafty opponents can simply strike around the shield, however, and you can only use one-handed weapon along with it. Ranged characters can also carry Deployable Cover in the form of pavises. Machete Mayhem: Falchions, essentially a medieval machete with a crossguard, is available as a weapon. Royal Rapier: Usable as a basic thrusting sword alongside the estoc, its two-handed cousin. Subverted in that any kind of character can use them (even if they're dressed as a dirt-poor peasant), and that the default class who wields the rapier is the rogueish Scoundrel. Swiss-Army Weapon: The Heavy Handaxe has both a sharp side, for chopping up the unarmored and hacking structures apart, and a hammer side, for the heavily plated enemies and the occasional quick repair. And a point at the top, to make it properly stabby. Sinister Scythe: Farming scythes are available for mercenaries with the "peasant" perk. It's a surprisingly deadly weapon, but loses effectiveness against more armored targets. Sinister Scimitar: Added in the first half of the Eastern Invasion update is the scimitar, a wickedly fast one-handed slashing sword that cuts through unarmored and lightly armored flesh like butter.

Friend or Foe?
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_76a08cd6
comment
Friend or Foe?: Your attacks will hurt and kill your teammates too, and you'll suffer a point reduction as consequence. This is especially common when players use big weapons with wide swing arcs in packed melees. Siege weapons can also kill allies very easily if misused, particularly the catapult's area-of-effect projectiles. Probably because of this, a "Friendly" perk exists to make players with it deal less and take less damage from friendly fire. It was later removed along with the Tenacious perk from the perk list and instead implemented into the game automatically.

Truth in Television: The spear-and-shield combo is hated by many players for being hard to counter, but the combo is really that good in real life. The spear is not only better at penetrating armor, but it's also far easier to use and has a longer reach than most swords. Couple that with a shield and you have an extremely deadly warrior that can defend himself just as well.

One-Hit Polykill: Possible with big enough weapons, though a little hard without getting wrecked in the first place by the fact you're either outnumbered or about to hit an ally. Killing two enemies with a single swing of a melee weapon is an achievement. Ballistae, for their part, do it all the time; they go right through people and don't stop until they hit terrain, no matter how many body parts they skewer on the way.

Joke Item

comment
Joke Item: There are several unorthodox weapons, and there are achievements tied to killing people with most of them: The lute. You can use it as a regular instrument, or flip it around and cave someone's skull in. The shawm. Like the lute, it can be used to play music, or it can be thrown like a javelin. Rocks, which can be thrown as projectiles and are capable of killing people with tiny amounts of damage. A variant is the horse turd, which is dropped by horses and is used as the primary ranged attack of Horde Mode enemies. Characters with the Peasant perk (itself a Joke Character) can arm themselves with a Frying Pan of Doom as a blunt weapon. The training sword, a blunt-edged blade which is the weakest proper weapon in the entire game. The Mountain map is host to several rusted and broken swords embedded in the snow, which can be grabbed by players and swung around as very weak melee weapons. The carving knife. Without a doubt the fastest weapon in the game, but its hits cannot interrupt an opponent's swings, meaning anyone who tries to apply Death of a Thousand Cuts will likely get their head knocked off before they reach cut number three. The only way it can quickly kill someone is by throwing it into a person's head, which kills a person without a helmet instantly. The map "Crossroads" features carrots hidden in the grass that can be used as melee weapons. They function similarly to the carving knife, but are the only weapon in the game that deals zero damage with certain attacks (stabs to the head and swings to the legs). Hilariously, they can be couched like a lance on horseback, where they can actually kill an opponent.

Kill It with Fire
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_9c1f758a
comment
Kill It with Fire: The fire bomb can set the ground ablaze, dealing rapidly accumulating damage in that area for about ten seconds. The fire urn is a special throwable available only in Horde mode which covers three times as much ground as the fire bomb with its fire effect, and for a longer time. The toolbox can be used to build a firepit that allows archers to light their arrows on fire. Catapults boulders can also be lit on fire.

Elite Mooks: Later waves of Horde mode have them. Enemies with black armor are much tougher than common enemies. Their armor is even more durable than the toughest armor that players can use, and their weapons hit harder. Ogres are very big, and they have a huge amount of health. Their weapon is a huge club, and they smash you really hard with it.

One-Hit Kill: A strike from the maul can deliver instant death to any enemy if it hit them in the head. The attack speed of it is quite slow, though. Being hit by a catapult or ballista is also as appropriately lethal as you'd expect.

Unusable Enemy Equipment
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_a89efe3c
comment
Unusable Enemy Equipment: Averted. Players can pick up and equip weapons from dead enemies freely, and the Scavenger perk causes slain enemies to drop all of their items instead of just the one they were wielding upon death. Played straight for boss enemies of Horde mode. They have exclusive weapons like "Great Maul" or "Ogre Club", but you can't pick up them. Other enemies use perfectly normal weapons that you can use, but you still need to find and buy them; their corpses won't drop them, even if all you want is some peasant's scythe.

Cool Helmet: There's a dazzling number of historically-accurate cranial coverings to chose from when customizing your mercenary, and some of them can become fairly ornate in design. The iconic greathelm is a popular choice, available in a variety of design styles and accessorized variants — including mantles, paint jobs and (as of Patch 18) bullhorn crests.

Royal Rapier: Usable as a basic thrusting sword alongside the estoc, its two-handed cousin. Subverted in that any kind of character can use them (even if they're dressed as a dirt-poor peasant), and that the default class who wields the rapier is the rogueish Scoundrel.

Confusion Fu
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_b59f6070
comment
Confusion Fu: A vital skill for duelists, since being predictable will neuter your offense at best and usually get you killed. Duelists often have to resort to a repertoire of feints, morphing different attacks into one another and hitbox manipulation (drags, accels, footwork, targeting, etc.) to avoid damage and inflict it in turn. Slower weapons also have a variant in that it's very easy to mistime parries against them in the heat of battle; the maul and the heavy handaxe are especially guilty of this.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_b6e1d40b
comment
Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Bladed weapons cannot cut through plate armors in real life. In fact, swords were mainly used as sidearms rather than primary ones. However, it would be very pointless having such a huge variety of weapons in the game if only 20% of it is viable. The various two-handed swords are slower than they are in real life, and all the weapon attacks have various tells and telegraphs that would probably get you killed if you tried them on a real medieval battlefield. However, a game with realistic weapon speeds and no tells wouldn't be very fair or balanced, so the game deviates from real life to preserve Rule of Fun.

Bad with the Bone: The Dungeon map has numerous human bones lying about, including tibias (one-handed), femurs (two-handed) and skulls (thrown). These weapons deal a surprising amount of damage, with the femur dealing damage comparable to the maul.

Shout-Out: Several. The "Flesh Wound" perk is obvious one for the black knight of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Kicking the enemy to make them fall to death will earn you the achievement "This isn't Sparta". Killing two enemies in one stroke from a melee weapon will earn you the achievement "Guts". As promised during the trailer, you can unscrew your sword's pommel and throw it at your weakened opponent to end him rightly.

Death of a Thousand Cuts
 Mordhau (Video Game) / int_cadf2d2a
comment
The carving knife. Without a doubt the fastest weapon in the game, but its hits cannot interrupt an opponent's swings, meaning anyone who tries to apply Death of a Thousand Cuts will likely get their head knocked off before they reach cut number three. The only way it can quickly kill someone is by throwing it into a person's head, which kills a person without a helmet instantly.

Counter-Attack

comment
Counter-Attack: There are many ways to perform this in game. Chambering is mirroring an enemy attack (i.e. left horizontal slash vs. right horizontal slash, or a stab vs. a stab) with the correct timing will deflect the opponent's attack while letting your strike go right through. Ripostes are a different style of counter, where you can follow a successful parry with a quicker, unfeintable swing/stab. It is also possible to dodge through various means, from stepping out of range to ducking under weapon strikes, to even leaning the camera to sway one's head and torso just out of harm's way. Such a dodge can allow you to attack while the enemy recovers.

The training sword. Pathetic damage - but chambers cost no stamina. Meet every attack with a chamber, disarm your opponent, and kill them either with their own weapon or cutting them down with a weapon purposely built not to kill. Surpisingly effective, as feints and, to a lesser degree, morphs, are easily countered by going for the chamber.

Anti-Cavalry: While polearms in general have the reach to at least try and counter cavalry, the Billhook in particular is made with this in mind, by way of it violently yanking the rider off their horse when it makes contact.

Surpisingly effective, as feints and, to a lesser degree, morphs, are easily countered by going for the chamber. The carrots found on Crossroads. They suffer the same drawbacks as the carving knife, and can't even deal damage with certain attacks. However, you can build and repair fortifications with them (and they're more effective at it than any other tool), and you can couch them on horseback the same way as a polearm or lance. Yes, you can use a carrot to run down and skewer enemies no less effectively than with a spear.

Authority Equals Asskicking: The latter half of Castello, Feitoria and Grad's Invasion mode sees the Iron Company players trying to kill the commander and warden (or in the case of Feitoria, the three nobles) of the besieged fortresses. Both are heavily armored and armed, have tons of health, and tower head-and-shoulders above their subordinates. Furthermore, both of these roles are handed to the two players of the Free Guard team who had the highest scores at the end of the match's first half, doubling as Asskicking Leads to Leadership.
