The PvP in New World has the reputation that a higher level automatically leads to a victory. However, a player at level 40 proves that one can win against the very strong. He defeated a player at level 60 and has published a video of it.
What can be seen in the video? The player Kryptik fought at level 40 against an enemy player at level 60 – and won. He used the rapier and musket, which were not even leveled to the maximum level. His opponent fought with a heavy war hammer and an axe.
Particularly exciting about the fight is that the player had previously announced the victory on reddit. There it was stated in a thread that it was impossible for players under level 40 to defeat enemies at max level.
Kryptik denied this and claimed that he would manage to deal with a player at level 60.
Special combo with rapier and trap celebrated
How did the victory happen? Kryptik skillfully uses his dodge rolls in the fight to evade the heavy attacks from the hammer.
Additionally, he uses a strong combo from the riposte of the rapier followed by the trap from the rifle. Then he switches back to the rapier and the backstab as long as the enemy is stunned.
However, the attacker appears somewhat awkward and predictable in the fight. However, this does not diminish Kryptik’s performance.
How do the players react? On reddit and under the YouTube video, Kryptik is celebrated for his fight. Especially for the combo with the rapier and the trap, as well as for the generally foresighted gameplay:
- The user redditingatwork praises: “Respect for your knowledge. I couldn’t do that. You would tear me apart, haha!”
- Nippys4 especially highlights the combo: “That was a masterpiece. Especially the combination of stun, the trap, and the 180-degree backstab was damn strong.”
- On YouTube, the user jmafia comments: “Posting this video as a response to the dumb, cynical comment must have felt so good!”
What do you think of the short clip? And how do you see the balancing in PvP? Feel free to write it in the comments.
However, in the PvP wars, there is currently an unfair method to eliminate players. Instead of fighting them, they are reported and banned:
Players are currently being banned in New World so they cannot participate in wars
