How do you most frequently one-hit kill opponents?
For me, the most frequent one-hits I get come from using the one handed spiked- or flanged maces (both work). A simple overhead swing to an enemy´s unprotected head will often end them instantly. This is especially common when just starting an arena fight and performing my very first attack, leading to some hilariously short duels. And even if it does not kill them instantly, there is a noticable chance to knock my opponent down, ready to follow with a quick finisher.
Strangely, I don´t have nearly as much success in this regard with two handed weapons. I´ve achieved coparatively very few one-hit kills with two handers, even if I specifically go out of my way to try. No matter if I crouch swing, use the most heaviest, smashiest weapons or hit the head right on, the few instant kills I get seem more like freak accidents. Also, they are usually a result of wild sideway swing rather than a dead-center overhead hit.
It´s starting to feel pretty weird. I´ve beaten expert arena with the maul, but I have no idea how to achieve an instant kill with it other than by sheer luck; while at the same time, they just come naturally with the one-handed maces.
Also I was never able to one-hit kill an enemy wearing a helmet.
So what are your one-hit stories?
