Tips and Tricks

----------------
* Clothes gives you some protection.
* Keep the scythe from the first boss up to the three red dudes 
  (the boss) and then take the one guys axe.
* Don't swing like a maniac left and right. Use your momentum 
  and try to use footwork a lot.
* Sharp weapons are deadly on flesh, stabby weapons stab hard 
  too. every weapon is op when you use its advantages, I like to 
  use barstools for distraction and fun factor.
* You can throw stuff when you drop weapon in right time of the 
  swing.
* When you press R you can choose weapon with the left or right 
  click that you have sheathed, good thing when you are in the 
  fight and loose your current weapon and have more than 1 backup 
  weapon.
* For multistabs hold alt and then swing up and down, good thing 
  to keep at bay one enemy when fighting more.
* Use you backup weapon in close encounter when using long range 
  weapon like spear.
* If you don't have a helmet, have blunt weapon and you are fighting 
  willie with a helmet just pop his head to get your brand new, 
  covered in brain tissue important head protection!
* You can break a skull with any blunt weapon, barstool, candleholder 
  or shield included, wooden too. and sometimes it's just a bad luck.
* First boss cannot hurt you if he cannot hit you. Stay in almost a 
  clinch distance to avoid his attacks, they are quite painful.
* In close encounters you can always just grab a weapon from your 
  enemy's waist.
* Take your attacks slow and move backwards (with shift too) when 
  enemies are attacking you.
* It's all about strategy. Leg hits are the most useful stunning 
  strategy to get enemies staggered or on the floor.
* Lastly, master parrying! It will be hard, but trust me, learning 
  to parry in this game is very very important.
* Don't be afraid of trying out new weapons! I see a few people 
  stick to only slashing or blunt weapons from beginning to end but 
  you should really try and get good at most of them! Alternatively 
  shields can be used to BASH your opponent to get a quik attack on 
  them. Aiming for the side of head with a blunt weapon was always 
  and is a good way in game to dispatch of your armoured enemy 
  fairly quikly.

-=Spears=-
Their range is their weakness. (same with the scythe and hoe). When 
the spear is up bull rush them and strike them with your weapon, a 
good strike to anywhere around the chest is enough to put them down. 
Do not give them range and do NOT hesitate, this is where 90% of 
people die then bitch and moan in the threads. If you are close 
enough to them they will not be able to stab you and the worse they 
can do is slap you with their wood.

-=Weilding spears=-
Given it takes practice, but if you give your spear the distance it 
needs it will become a killing machine. Grab a spear and practice 
your alt thrust and get ready to impale willies.

-=Bonus tip about tiers and game modes=-
If you're looking for a list of what game modes can be played at each 
tier the other day - here it is.

* 1st Tier-Fist play + Carnage (ffa) + Spoilance 
  (grab a random weapon).
* 2nd-3rd Tier-Single Combat + Carnage + Spoilance.
* 4th-5th Tier-Single Combat + Carnage + Small Buhurt 
  (small team fight).
* 6th-7th Tier-Single Combat + Carnage + Small Buhurt + Brave Stand 
  (4 less armed enemies).
