This is a thread dedicated to tips your character may attempt to learn against the advantaged enemies, especially the armored ones. The best tip i can give is a method called half swording, and another method which involves pinching the blade and thrusting.
Half-swording: There is a method where you grab the blade in a way that the blade doesn't dig into your palm, but you have a firm grip (there is an alternate way of doing this). You basically attack the armored foe, striking with the crossguard or the tip of the hilt (pretty much your sword is upside down.), which may dent the armor, as with swords you would more or less need to use the gaps to an advantage. Downside is this kinda keeps you without defense, at least a bit.
If you want to get into the gaps, with accuracy and precision, there is a method of half-swording where you grip the blade, and the other hand with the hilt, and thrust it towards the gaps with about a foot or more of slack to actually stab with.
All credits to this guy, seriously watch this, it is crazy! Basically shows how you can attack like this, and if done proper, you will not cut yourself.
