When their stamina is low (which you can tell by the way they stagger), your attacks will pass through their blocks then you just strike and strike until they fall. Each successful hit also wears stamina down. When you manage to hit enemy, try to place more hits quickly after that. Try to do perfect blocks as much as possible, it will wear enemy stamina down. And it works well with perk Skullcracker (I killed Runt by one successful riposte in this way). It takes some time, but it is safest way to hit.
If you already learned master strikes from Bernard, then you can wait for enemy attacks and just do riposts. Opponent will never block quick strike after you won a clinch. After he is pushed, strike quickly anywhere. If you strike from a clinch and your stats and stamina are high enough, then you will push your opponent away. If you go too near to enemy, you will end in clinch. Have you already learned ripostes (master strikes) from Bernard? If not, do it now.Ĭlinch. It seems you probably miss some points in combat.
