Yeah, i know about how to lvl up skill. But we are more talking about early game when you start instead of how to reach lvl 5 in a skill in less than 5min.
My last experience with melee is i’v clear with only a knife spear a megatore without a scratch ; i first catch few Z in bush, pick up under amor /tank top fitting, and then slaying everybody in middle of the store. Then you got the full store for yourself in less than 10min IRL just after creating your caractere.[/quote]
I’m a tad bit skeptical of that myself. I know the knife spear gets rapid attack, and a weak block, but to use either of those you need to get a critical right? Do you start with a point or 3 in melee skill?[/quote]
I don’t know about critical needed for that. I don’t think so. And i start with 20 strenght (yeah pretty hight cost) with no skill, no trait but the one that allow you to move in every type of terrain for same cost as normal one. Only dog are real problem : they can attack you even in iregular terrain and make you bleed/hight dommage if crit. They are also hard to hit. But other (basic Z, spitter, the electric one, hulk) arent a problem, just keep near car, and do hit /back. They won’t be able to hit you so much. And basic Z won’t hit you at all if you back before.[/quote]
Weak block kicks in in place of a Dodge, IIRC. You won’t get good results unless you’re more skilled with the weapon than the attacker’s attack skill, though–your “dice” are worse than the attacker’s on a Weak Block (hence the name) so you’ll want more. Rapid-attack doesn’t need a critical to come out. It’s one of the best attack perks, IMO.
