Is it possible to duck to evade an enemy's attack?

I was wondering. In Chivalry Medieval Warfare, is it possible to duck in order to get out of the way of an enemy's attack?


Yes it is possible to dodge under certain attacks by ducking. This is most useful against horizontal attacks, which have little vertical coverage and tends to be aimed higher. Note this does not mean that horizontal attacks will always miss, a properly angled attack will still hit a crouching opponent.

You can further reduce your vertical hitbox by looking down while ducking, this will cause your character's head to bend downwards.
