Unarmed combat in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is more than just swinging wildly and hoping for the best. With the right combos, you can knock enemies down, wear them out, and even take on armored opponents—if you know what you’re doing.

Unlike weapons, unarmed fighting relies on quick strikes, grappling, and counters. It’s great for tavern brawls, training, or when you somehow end up in a fight without a sword. Read on to learn about combos, including the specific moves to make them work.

How Unarmed Combat Works

  • You attack in five directions (left, right, high, low, and center).

  • Combos require chaining specific attacks together in different directions.

  • Blocking at the right time lets you counter or grapple.

  • Stamina matters—if you run out, your punches won’t do much.

  • Some perks improve unarmed combat, making it more viable.

Where to Learn Unarmed Combos

You can train with Barnaby in Kopina after completing:

  • Melee at the Mill (fighting quest)

  • Wine, Women, and Blood (side quest)

If you want to be a real fist-fighting champion, learning these combos will give you an edge.

Best Unarmed Combos in KCD2

1. The Pummeler (Quick Jab Chain)

Inputs: Left → Right → Center

  • A fast, three-hit combo that pressures enemies.

  • Works well against unarmored foes and in tavern fights.

2. The Crippler (Leg Strike for Stamina Drain)

Inputs: High → Low → Right

  • Ends with a kick to the leg, draining enemy stamina.

  • Great against tough opponents who rely on heavy strikes.

3. The Crusher (Staggering Blow)

Inputs: Right → Left → Left

  • The final hit stuns the enemy, giving you time for a follow-up.

  • Best used against slower fighters who rely on power punches.

4. The Grab and Pound (Grapple Combo)

Inputs: Center → Right → Grapple

  • Starts with two punches, then a grapple takedown.

  • If you have higher strength, you can slam opponents down.

5. The Knockout (Heavy Finisher)

Inputs: Left → High → Right → Center

  • A full four-hit combo that does massive damage.

  • Hard to land but can end fights quickly if executed properly.

Tips for Winning Fist Fights

Keep moving – Standing still makes you an easy target.
Use grapples – If an enemy blocks too much, grab them.
Watch stamina – If you run out, you’ll start throwing weak punches.
Block and counter – Master timing your parries for easy counters.
Fight smarter, not harder – Pick your moments instead of swinging wildly.

Final Blurb

Unarmed combat isn’t the most powerful option in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, but it’s fun and surprisingly effective when used correctly. Whether you’re settling a tavern dispute or training your strength and agility, these combos will help you dominate any fistfight.
