When building your warrior, selecting the playstyle that best suits your strengths and preferences is key. In the Myrvikings guild, every member is encouraged to master combat both on foot and horseback, using melee, archery, or a hybrid approach. Below, we break down the strengths and roles of each playstyle for warriors:

Playstyle: A core group combatant, the Frontliner specializes in heavy melee gameplay, holding the line alongside allies while dishing out devastating strikes. Proficiency in parrying, switching targets, and dealing heavy damage is essential. The versatility of wielding a bow allows Frontliners to engage in PvP or PvE at range when needed.

• Strengths: Durable, high melee damage output, essential for maintaining the team’s position in battle.
  
• Role: Protect mages, break enemy lines, and finish off fleeing enemies with precise archery.
  
• Difficulty: Medium

Why Choose Thursar?
Thursars are the pinnacle of aggressive melee combatants, boasting unmatched strength and damage-dealing capabilities. With clade gifts enhancing team strength and personal prowess, Thursars excel as frontliners or high-damage archers.

• Best For: Players who want raw power and consistent damage output.
  
• Notable Build:
  
• Pure Melee Build[mortaldata.com]
  
• Psy Melee Build[mortaldata.com]

Why Choose Oghmir?
Oghmirs are the defensive titans of the battlefield, equipped with tanky buffs and exceptional versatility. They shine in melee combat and can utilize 123 Strength weapons or bows for major damage. Additionally, they bring utility outside of combat with bonuses to refining and extraction.

• Best For: Players who want a strong mix of durability and damage with crafting utility.
  
• Notable Build:
  
• Oghmir Warrior Build[mortaldata.com]

Why Choose Alvarin?
Alvarins are the masters of speed and agility, making them ideal for quick skirmishes, chasing down enemies, and harassing opponents. Their clade gifts also enhance professions like herbalism, alchemy, and butchering, making them versatile both in and out of combat. While harder to master, they excel at disrupting enemy formations and pressuring backlines.

• Best For: Players who prefer speed, hit-and-run tactics, and high mobility.

• Tindremic Paladin (Medium)[mortaldata.com]
  
• Alvarin Hybrid (Hard)[mortaldata.com]

Choose your playstyle based on what excites you the most about combat. Whether you’re holding the line as a Thursar, crafting and tanking as an Oghmir, or disrupting enemies as an Alvarin, mastering your chosen role is the first step to becoming an elite warrior in Mortal Online 2.

To succeed in Mortal Online 2, understanding key game mechanics and PvP rules is crucial:

• Murder Counts: If you accumulate more than 5 murder counts, your lootbag becomes lootable by anyone.
  
• Reputation: Negative reputation (-1 or below) in a region will cause guards to attack you on sight. Restore reputation by completing Tasks or killing Risars.
  
• Character Disconnect: Your character remains in the game world unless you properly log off. Ensure your horse is nearby to log it out with you.
  
• Horse Management: Horses in towns attract griefers. Always store your horse in stables when not in use.
  
• Criminal Status: Criminal status lasts 120 seconds. Guards and some creatures will attack you and your horse during this time, especially in dungeons.
  
• Food and Nourishment: Food reduces your gray bar and replenishes reserves. Maintain a stock of proper nourishment to avoid becoming overweight and slower.

How to Survive

• Situational Awareness: Be your teammates' extra set of eyes in this first-person perspective game (160° view angle).
  
• Teamwork: Always have your group’s back, and keep communication concise—only call for heal or peel.
  
• Compass Awareness: Monitor the compass and stay oriented. Stick with your group and avoid splitting off.
  
• Callouts: Use specific callouts like “Heal/Peel + [Your Name].”

• Focus on switching targets and striking enemies from behind for maximum impact.
  
• Follow target callouts to concentrate damage. Avoid unnecessary 1v1 fights.
  
• Use directional attacks for higher damage and to complement teammates’ strikes.
  Example:
  
• Spears excel with Thrusts.
  
• Swords perform best with Swings or Overheads.
  
• Recommended Watch: 2v2 Myrmex & Lirix[clips.twitch.tv].

• Always position yourself carefully to avoid being targeted.
  
• Use your shield when casting to mitigate damage.
  
• Prioritize healing frontliners and maintaining their survivability.
  
• Use terrain and mobility to escape focus fire.

• Stick together, protect healers, and maintain stamina above 50% for crucial pushes or retreats.
  
• Frontline Melee Fighters:
  
• Form a tight formation to prevent gaps and protect mages.
  
• Switch targets frequently and focus on enemies exposing their backs.
  
• Mages: Position behind the frontline and avoid overextending.
  
• When attacking, manage stamina wisely and bait enemies into overcommitting before counterattacking.

• Avoid engaging foot fighters while mounted unless you specialize in mounted archery or melee.
  
• Stay at a safe distance (20–30m) and regroup with your team before pushing as a unit.

• If enemy is far: Turn, bandage, and retreat to the mages for healing.
  
• If enemy is close: Focus on blocking and parrying while calling for help (“Peel + [Your Name]”).
  
• Last resort: Deal damage before dying or use the terrain to escape.

As Melee:

• Stay aggressive, manage your stamina well and close the gap to prevent the mage from casting.
  
• Use archery if melee range isn’t possible.
  
• Recommended Watch: 1v1 Melee vs. Mage Tactics - Myrmex vs Diphrael.

As Mage:

• Maintain distance, use terrain, and employ melee when close quarters.
  
• Always have a shield on your back during casting to reduce incoming damage.
  
• Recommended Watch: 1v2 Mage vs. Melee Example - Diphrael vs Myrvikings Recruit .

• Utilize positioning and terrain to dismount or outmaneuver mounted opponents.
  
• Recommended Watch: Rhisa (Mounted) vs Arthor (Footfighter against Horse).

This extensive combat guide provides an in-depth look at various mechanics and techniques useful for PvP combat in the game, offering insights on how to improve performance in one-on-one and group encounters. Here are some key points and techniques explained:

By pressing the feint key during a charge (75–100%) attack release, your character can feint mid-swing and then immediately swing in the same direction. This is a complex but effective technique, especially against intermediate players. Mixing feints and spins makes it harder for opponents to predict your attack.

You can choose different attack styles in the settings: drag then click or click then drag. The movement sensitivity controls how precisely the game reads your mouse movements, influencing your attack or parry accuracy. A higher sensitivity allows for more precision but can make parasite movements harder to handle.
Video Example[i.gyazo.com]

Parrying involves holding the right mouse button in the direction of the incoming attack. To block instead of parrying, release the parry after about 2 seconds. Blocking reduces damage, but not as effectively as a successful parry. Mastering the timing and facing your opponent properly is key to mitigating damage.
Parry and Block Video[i.gyazo.com]

After a successful parry, you can counter-attack within 2 seconds with a simple click, which deals more damage than a regular attack and is just as fast.
Counter Attack Video[i.gyazo.com]

When performing a counter attack, you reduce all melee damage by 50%. This gives you a significant advantage, especially in group fights or when under heavy attack.

Missing an attack or hitting an obstacle causes a brief recovery period where you can't attack or parry. It's important to retreat quickly after a miss to avoid being punished.
Recovery Video[i.gyazo.com]

Every weapon has different hitboxes (weapon head, arm, and handle). To maximize damage, you need to ensure your attacks consistently land with the weapon’s head. Polearms are particularly noted for their blunt damage.
Handle/Arm/Range Video[i.gyazo.com]

Jumping can be useful for evasive maneuvers, especially for mobile classes like mages or hybrids. The jump height is influenced by your skills and armor weight, and jumping out of combat can help you avoid being hit.

Feints are used to confuse your opponent and bypass their defenses or to cancel an attack and save stamina. Timing is crucial as excessive feinting without proper control leaves you open to attack.
Feinting Video[i.gyazo.com]

This advanced technique involves feinting a counter attack to confuse your opponent, making them block one direction while you hit them from another.

After a parry, you can wait a moment before launching a counter-attack. This delay can catch your opponent off guard, especially when using fast weapons like spears or hooks.

To bypass an opponent’s guard, look 90 degrees to the right and perform an overhead attack. It’s especially effective when your weapon is fast enough, but needs to be timed well to avoid predictability.

The figure-eight technique involves swinging and quickly retreating to force an opponent to miss, then countering with another swing. Backpaddling is strafing backward to make your enemy miss, then striking when they’re recovering.

In a one-on-two scenario, block the first attack, then counter the second. If you’re fighting alongside a teammate, one player can pressure with overheads while the other spams charged attacks to overwhelm the opponent.

In group fights, it’s important to stay together and support each other. Footfighters engage enemies, while ranged classes should focus on disabling key targets like mages or archers. Mages should prioritize healing and then assist with damage if the fight is won.
Chained Attacks Video[i.gyazo.com]

When you hit an opponent, a cross appears on your screen to indicate that you can chain an attack. Timing your next attack within the window after the cross will make it faster than if you wait too long.

By pressing the feint key while releasing an attack between 75 and 100% of its charge, your character will feint mid-swing and then suddenly release the swing in the same direction.

This involves making high-risk, high-reward plays by deliberately allowing an opponent to strike, knowing you can counterattack them successfully. It requires confidence and good timing.
