Chivalry 2 is a first-person medieval multiplayer slasher where 64 players clash in large-scale objective-based battles. The melee combat system is built around timing, spacing, and swing manipulation — dragging your mouse during an attack changes its speed and trajectory. Objective maps recreate medieval siege scenarios with battering rams, catapults, and multi-stage battles that tell stories as they progress. The game rewards both individual skill in duels and team play in large-scale pushes.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons — Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.

- Ignoring Slaughter of Coxwell farming — This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.

Resource Efficiency Tips
- Dragging a slash (turning away during the swing) can delay its hit by up to 400ms — enough to miss an early block and hit after it drops.

- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build — some classes farm faster in certain areas
