So I realized after uploading I forgot to mention how to style your shield. It's real easy to do. Before you craft your shield when you have it selected there is a style button right under the name of the shield. Just click that and select your style then craft your shield.
that tree house in the background makes me nervous; while it's cool… I tend to break more trees than the one I actually want… not counting on trolls too. 😀
Hey man I just discovered your channel, I love the video format you're coming up with! Thank you for the amazing guides I just can't get enough of this game these days! Keep it up!
i fight with a spear/sword combo. after i push back a enemy far away. I throw my spear at them for extra damage and close in to dish out normal attack with my sword while also picking up my spear. then i back up a little bit and prepare another round of parry spear throw.
It looks like the formula for how much block power the block skill adds it's (blockskill/2)% increase, or half a percent per skill level. So 50 skill is 25%, 100 skill is 50%.
Why does the braided shield weight more than the tower shield?
how to get this back cape that you are using? 0:33
Best Valheim streamer over the world by far.
You should do a video where you talk about damage types. Seems like some enemies might be resistant to slashing/cutting types of damage.
A 2-star Fuling/goblin with a non-club weapon (spear, or whatever else they use) was doing over 200 damage to me with 26 armor (tier 2 troll leather). Are there elite Fulings? If so, are there 2-star elite Fulings? They might hit in the 250+ range. Fulings with club weapons seem to hit for much lower damage than the ones with spears.
Is there an advantage to the way you're timing your blocks vs just holding up the shield?
Great videos
Bro you should be paid by the game company cuz your enriching the community dramatically. Thanks for everything!
how did you get a lvl 2 fuling into meadows?
Saw someone on reddit parry a troll and did a finishing move unarmed that was kinda like a jumping kick
Nice. Now how do I fight three wolves with a shield without dying?
Does anyone know if parrying increases the block skill or only blocking increases the skill? Thanks!
👍 Nice Content
are we sure the parry bonus isn't the bonus amount of damage blocked by a parry?
My biggest question, because you pointed out that an Axe has it's own parry multiplier and knockback force…. How does that work when using a shield? If you use a Tall Shield and an Axe, does the shield take priority over the Axe's defensive capabilities or…? Do they add / multiply together? I'm very curious.
Great Video! How do you get hit by them and not take damage? I must be missing something.
Thanks for all the tips!
I think I noticed the source of your confusion. Parry bonus is not a damage bonus. It’s a bonus to your blocking power when you parry. The bronze shield is capable of blocking double the damage when you parry with it. Every other shield is 1.5x the blocking power.
I was under the impression that Parry Bonus, whether on a shield or weapon, is the amount of extra Block Power the item gets on a parry and that the bonus damage you do is a static bonus regardless of what you parried with. That would explain why a bronze buckler could parry 150+ points of damage with a high enough skill, so I'm fairly certain at least that much is true. Plus, you can get that bonus damage just by staggering an enemy with your attacks, which has nothing to do with parrying.
Wow this video is so padded with bullshit to hit that 20 minute mark, it's nearly unwatchable. And now reading the comments it seems the main thrust of the video is just plain wrong? Take this down, it's an embarrassment.
The game is nice, it's just a pity that having our own server we get the opportunity to do everything in a few moments.
The cheats and commands for this game will kill her.
It's a pity, I don't know why they were allowed at all.
to everyone complaining about the console commands they dont work on multiplayer server apart from the host and who decides to op (its the same as hosting a minecraft server or ark admins get power)
Honestly to counter the bonus for Parry that the Bucklers have, the Tower shields should have a reduced stamina drain for taking hits….seems like a fair trade out to me.
Great guide! Thank you. What a fun game this is. I am doing a playthrough with my friends on my channel. Check it out if you like that kind of stuff.
All really informative and helpful. Thanks so much FireSpark!
This was a fantastic explanation of how parry works. I had no idea the parry mechanic worked based on the timing of the block. Thank you for your hard and thorough work!
You ever think about marking your vids for different sections of the guides? Would be nice to skip through explanations of shields and their recipes for example. Just a suggestion 😀
Crom smiles on these videos. Crom also has respect for Odin but feels he coddles his people a bit. Loving the Valheim content.
Parry bonus on shields means 1.5x/2.0x the block amount on a parry maybe?
I think the parry bonus applies to the block power. I was watching Quicksand Riggs video of him demonstrating this. I'm still trying to figure this out myself though, so maybe I'm wrong on this or missing important details.
Firespark, what about the movement speed reduction? Halfway the video all reduction speeds said -20% (0%). Does blocking skill effect it? Andmaybe for armor
Next comes the vid on which melee weapon is most efficient or effective
I avoided shields for a long period for the two handed weapons but i really enjoy using a mace shield combo for lots of stuns
Can you test block power with two handed weapons and good armor? Like is it worth using two handers at all or just use shield and one hander.
I prefer to parry and use the sword secondary attack. Hits like a truck.
