In this Mordhau Drag and Accel Guide, you’ll learn about the two combat techniques that are very effective to deceive an enemy. Before we begin, Drag is when an attack lands later than an enemy expected. Accel, on the other hand, is when an attack lands sooner than your opponent expected.
Mordhau Drag and Accel
Accel, as it sounds like, is doing something sooner. This attack basically lets you inflict damage to your enemy by striking before than his/her expectations.
Sometimes, the enemy can predict your strike. Accel and Drag help you hit them with strikes they were least expecting. Accel is a fast-paced attack used so that your enemy is pressurized.
Drag is also known as deceleration that means in this type of surprise attack, you’ll confuse the enemy with slow-paced strikes that the enemy wouldn’t predict.
Using a mixture of Drag and Accel during combat can help you defeat even the most elite of Mordhau players.
