With all respect to my opponents, they are all strong duelists.

Hi everyone! I would like you to:

1. Type your main dueling weapon

2. Mention few weapons you struggle to duel against

3. Maybe share some tricks/knowledge/stories of great duelists you met.

I go first:

1. Longsword

2. Messer (because of tricky animations) and heavy mace (it just two-hits me, while I need 4-5 hits on opponent)

3. I mostly rely on movement trying to dodge enemy strike and punish him. Still unable to learn spins!

Banners stage is winnable for defenders. Or at least you can make masons sweat and type “OBJECTIVE PLEASE!!!” in chat.

Here’s how you do it.

First, the moment masons capture a supply box on the bridge, you as an engineer, retreat to the wall and barricade right banner. I suggest the right banner, because left one has a hole in the wall underneath it, which masons can swarm and attack left banner from three directions - ladders, the wall and stairs behind it. Middle banner is hard to barricade properly, Mason archers have good view and there’s little space for defenders. So pick right banner as your strong point.

Of course, you cannot defend it alone, so ask teammates to join you. If you have another fellow engineer with you, it will most likely be gg as he can place two more barricades around the banner and other two to block a passage from the wall to your left. You don’t need whole Agatha team on that banner as the place gets overcrowded and it ruins your defense. (Firepots will create mayhem and in this chaos you will miss an objective dedicated guy, who will crush your banner). So 5-8 people on that banner is enough.

As you see on footage , use barrels and crates to block ladders. A well timed throw sends a Mason down the wall.

I prefer to win it on this stage because trebuchets are much harder to defend. Try it, have fun and good luck!
