BrickBattle Guide: Sword

Introduction

The sword is one of the most, if not most used weapons in the game. They're great for a good fight. Almost all BrickBattle places have some type of melee weapon (even miked's Ultimate Paintball CTF has one). If you train well enough with the sword, you can create some great strategies and skill with a melee weapon, which will greatly increase your bloxxing prowess.

How to Use

The Sword icon in-game. All you have to do is click it.

Equip the sword by pressing 1-9, depending on where it is on the bottom right corner of the screen, or click the icon seen above. The sword can do 2 things, slash and lunge. In order to do a simple slash, just click with the sword equipped. To lunge, double-click. In your standard sword, hitting the opponent with the sword without slashing or lunging does 5 damage. Slashing does 10 damage. Lunging does 30 damage, and is the most used attack. Be careful, some times people edit sword scripts so they do more damage.

Tricks

The Sword does not collide with objects, allowing you to hit people easier.
The more parts hit, the more damage. Damage is inflicted through the amount of parts hit.
You can change direction mid-jump. If you're being attacked and need to run, hit the S button and get out of there!
You can also triple or double click using sword to lunge.

Tips

When lunging, the sword can be used to float in the air for a short amount of time.
When using the sword spinning is a good motive becuase you can dodge and attack at the same time.
You can use the extra lunge height to jump over opponents with less danger of being hit.
If someone jumps over you, turn around and lunge at them.
Try and enter battle with your health at max. Every bit of health helps.
All is fair in love and war, and this is not love.
The person who gets in the first hit usually wins.
The guy with the gun loses in a melee fight. Get in close if the person has a gun without a close range function.
