Block Tales Superguard/Counter guide - Demo 1 

I did miss a superguardable attack, if there's more just reply to this comment. :) Spicy Killbot: Stab - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d7PJxNXmPLA.html

No matter how good your reflexes are, remember that hard mode removes superguarding. So make sure to bring some items with you all the time.

Terry is probably going to be the final chapter's boss. He's proven himself to be a menace to bystanders and often trash talk at the player.

"I hate this statue with a passion" We do too, buddy, we do too.

i hate those eagles with all my heart, thank you for this UPDATE: With the power of Defend+, Safe Guard, and Thorns, the eagles are cooked. Literally don't need to do anything to defeat them anymore, my high DEF deflects the attacks, and Thorns kills em overtime. Also, unrelated to my eagled HATRED, I learned how to SOLO floor 19, itemless. No items. 10 HP, 5 SP, and a whole lot of BP later, I did it. Mostly thanks to this video. New subscriber earned.

spamming the block key to do it successfully is a bug... it should be fixed in demo 2 tho its good that it was noted at the beginning

an alternative way to know the timing is to listen to the sound effects. hearing reaction time is faster compared to sight reaction time, so it may help. this is what i do anyway

This video is well-edited and shows me how to block, guard, and super-guard successfully without any problems… that is if (I’m not A COMPLETE IDIOT LMAO) Anyway, good vid showcasing each enemy along with the bosses, deserves more attention and recognition imo, you got yourself a sub :3

spiky killbot also has a melee move that rams itself into your character, press block right when it touches you (like the eagle)

Underrated channel. Have your 104th subscriber!

bro you are a lifesaver, i went from not killing not ONE statue on floor 19 even with my friend, to being able to solo it nearly itemless. thanks!!!

Fun fact: you can deflect STATUE attacks with 8 defense or more, but a single smugupine will whoop your ass if you let it

Tip for solo to fight with statue (from my gameplay) : - Second turn ALWAYS use the guard to make - damage you take at lowest as possible - Dynamic is best source of damage you can do - You CANT counter but CAN dodge - Try to dodge much attack as you can - Before battle , equip safe guard if you can and store much item can heal and restore your SP as you can (before amount of damage it deal is HUGE) - Try to make success attack command since statue have 1 defend and will deflect attack with 1 or lower damage BONUS : + if you get in the pit : at floor 19 , you will have fight 4 statue -> Them can instant end your run if you cant dodge and blocking with safe guard That all and have fun !

THANK YOU SO MUCH

this is so good ngl

ROYAL GUARD🗣🔥

This was very helpful (Since I always spam due to me not doing it at the perfect timing), thanks!

underrated game (and channel) 🎷🐛

You can actually press space before it pierces on most stabs

This has helped with my solo sword only hardmode run in the pit, success.

Man i truly feel Yakuza:Like A Dragon with this mechanic

I learn how to skip it by jumping on stone guy than jump on the invisible wall than jump off to the door to get to the black stone castle or just use the speed runner do and just enter it though the small hole in the door that he somehow can enter

Thank you

The sentient statues are the hardest.

I think you should make another video about blocking, like how to master the guarding system, I’d appreciate it here!

Tip: take into regard ur ping, for 100+ just block 0,25 before the norm timing

spicy killbot💀💀

The sound cue of the attack could help too.

Not sure if this is quite much related but Cruel King has two speed on Icy and Freezing Stab. I think it's fixed too whenever he performs these. First will be fast then slow.

for most stab moves, i just listen for the sound

I found out that if youre laggy you can actually parry blue/red when there sword is behind there back This somehow worked for me so idk

btw uh my advice for guarding the rat is to count 1 2 3 the moment the rat climbs on you and my advice for the ant the moment the ants stop moving for 0.3 mila second

Here's a headsup: Ranged Enemies can vary its timing. Depending on how far they are from the player. The closer they are: The quicker the timing. I've messed up so many times against a crossbow knight's delayed shot. Btw, it has two moves which it either attacks delayed or not (You can tell its pose when he reaches his arm out, that's an immediate attack.) Though I start to rely on sounds more than look at the screen to which someone could play the demo 1 of the game blindfolded. Kudos to you bud.

Thanks👍

could ya help me know when to superblock? the video is helpful and all but when I try it, it doesn't really work out. I try to pay attention to sound cues but I can't tell which sound cues to listen to thanks!

For the statue i do it when he literaly stomps fully and it works???

hardmode: im boutta and this man's whole career *proceeds to disable super guarding*

This is (so far) the best block tales content ever

yo thanks for your help

I noticed that you can also superguard most attacks by waiting for certain sound cues, similar to cruel king's icy and freezing stab

Sometimes I just press the block button the moment they move works just fine for smugpine Statue is kinda fast lol. But the zooming attack shouldn’t be that hard since that dodge timing is near instant

I hate the sentient statues, I get yeeted if I don’t block the stomp correctly, and even if I survive, then mortal damage finishes me off, even if I have healing items, I had 15 hp, did I do my stats wrong?

the god damn statues are menaces

The Statuettes has gotta be the most annoying to dodge. The Unexpected Zooming attack can be timed through sound cues But Double Slam has gotta have the tightest timing ever

I pretty sure it’s impossible to super guard on hard mode btw (just incase you ever go play hard mode)

Time to drop some lore i've figured out by the time i completed demo 1 so apparently, some evil people had kidnapped builderman to make him tell the locations of the sword fights on the heights swords. and the first sword was the ice dagger and the cruel king had managed to get the possesion of it. and your mission is to retrive all the swords and save builderman. if you didn't know, the game name was "Block Tales:Swords of Time". which means the swords are used for something important. if we were to guess how many swords there's gonna be, the most reliable answers would be from 4-7 with 4 and 7 being the most common. because of that, i can confirm 2 swords are 100% going to be in the story. which being the sword of fire and sword of wind(air) Edit: i found out that there's gonna be 7 swords in the game, and the next one we're gonna have to get is venomshank. so, how can you predict you're gonna have to get venomshank? well, before you fight the cruel king, fhe save file would show the image of the ice dagger. but once you beat him, the save file would show a green sword image, meaning it's venomshank

The general way you can really time the Dodges/Counters is by simply practicing and reading enemy movement and also the attack names. Crossbow Crony has two firing modes for Crossbow Fire, one where he immediately shoots a bolt and one where he waits a bit before firing. Same goes for Cruel King, Freezing Stab and Icy Stab are the same attack except with one having a smaller buildup to the attack, yet both still freeze if Unguarded The easiest to guard or super guard imo has to be Sentient Statue and Banished Knight. Sentient Statue spams the same attacks, and during his Unexpected Zooming you might accidentally Dodge perfectly. As for the stomping, those can be tricky to Dodge for me, thankfully it's move set is small so you can practice if you need to. Banished Knight has only one move, and attack pretty much immideately, no use sugarcoating this sentence, it's usually very easy to Counter them.

One thing there is a bug that when you perfectly parry and punch the enemies sometimes they won’t die with no hp the only way is to hit it one more time

Me watching this on Hard Mode knowing full well super guard is disabled: 🗿

Literally the only thing my discord server friends can’t do

Ty

In conclusion, use shield. Especially the snow dagger.

for ants they bite at second 3 so just wait two secs then block

can you try to beat the 4 statues in the pit? (with hardmode and solo, items CAN be used)

I constantly dodged Unexpected Zooming by just imagining it as an FNF arrow

i just go by instinct and it mostly works out

I like how the knights are the only normal enemies to have two attacks

During my run due to a bug i somehow completely skipped the statue boss. Like they said they were gonna fight me but then they just stood there and i was able to just walk past without fighting them.

cool video, but this guide only really works with one specific menu flavour as they all give you unique idle anims

banished knight and statue will still be the hardest enemies to counter at all if your good at it idk my opinion

yuh demo 1 was quite easy for me (despite being 11 years old i can react fast ) demo 2 boutta have more bossfights and the first one might just happen to be the venomshank (cuz icon in the account)

Imagine if someone beats terry

1:38 ı see my mistake i click when it jumps, not when it touches me, this helps a lot

I wish i played block tales in slow mo

The reason I always buy the thorns card is because I suck at blocking

I hate the sentient statue with every fiber of my body

I know this is off-topic but what is that idle animation

i just got the heal after enemy's move and better block cards then proceeded to spam blocks and ended up using counters to kill the killbot solo 💀

dude, no one's gonna pay attention to the statue's FRAMES

All this time I could’ve been spamming the block button and super guard on command… Man that’s boring! Here’s how I learnt how to do it. It works perfectly in my head because autism, but I just look for the last frames of the attack. and use prior frames as a guide. Such is the four last frames in the first stump in the sentience statue attack. I hit the input on the third, and I use the fourth as the reference the second is like a reinforce I find sentence statue, pretty easy to dodge because of this plus there also animated in a different frame rate compare to other enemies I found.

0:39 i want it to be Superguardable so that millions of ppl come to the game and try to beat him

you can guard earlier btw i guard on blade spin in blade attacks, when arrow is halfway to me etc and its always working for me

10th sub :0

art is cool

Sentient statue isn't hard to survive It's hard to not take damage from it

Super guarding the statues is a pain tbh Especially dealing with 4 of them

I still don't understand how you get to the moon battle maybe you just have to wait for the second demo maybe it will have it in there

how am i supposed to have that precise of a reaction time.

I hate the sentient statues.. I kinda have the worst reflexes so I just kinda spam my screen on mobile to block 😅 (doesn't work as well with the sentient statues)

Ive beaten tutorial terry is that possible?

wait, you can actually spam space? all my work went on the trash

I despise the statue too

Hint:great couter not works on hardmode

what animation is that

I defeated three towers by myself. Without apple pie. Just all counters and dodged and heals.

3:17 I am sorry but, sentient statue have too much frames to count while it move quite fast which counting it is impossible

i adapted to all the attacks except rat and ant army they're so annoying

0:00 what's the music dude

... Wait hard mode disables superguardi-

Sentient statue is hardest to block than cruel king

how do u find helmet noob plz!1!1!q

ngl i tried the sentient statue one and it's so paninful :death:

I broke the likes and it says 9K instead of 1K

He called it spicy ball instead of spiky ball😅
