Hawks

[distant dune]

Pookie im sorry but im not reading allat

[winged dawn]

Its not even that long

Has tiktok gotten to you that badly that anything longer than this message is too much to read

[storm relic]

qfr affects skills not special action

thats afo

red has an easier time with movement because of his skills, which qfr helps keep low

while blue needs qfr from long ahh reloads and afo because he has 1 movement option on 12 seconds

[covert flint]

It affects special action too

It makes it reload 2x faster

[frozen trail]

Are the new fits good for strike hawk's

[distant dune]

No i just have a hangover

And cba

😭

[frozen trail]

alpha 7 -> gama 4 -> beta 9 -> alpha 9 -> gama 9

[winged dawn]

Well strike hawks already hardly has cooldowns in my experience ever since the buff.
The only cooldown on his kit that actually feels restrictive is his special action and beta but only when you put beta on penalty. Everything else is extremely forgiving which is why i dont think quirk factor or any yellow tunes for thaf matter are that good for strawks

[topaz canyon]

gamma 4 is better

[winged dawn]

Strike hawks has a few great level paths. This is not among them
If you want my suggestion id say
Gamma 4, alpha 9, beta 7, gamma 9 is best for a generalist
Gamma 4, beta 7, gamma 7, alpha 9 is best if you want beta armor as soon as possible
Gamma 7, beta 7, alpha 9 is the best one imo as it increases raw combo dmg as much as possible as early as possible which is more valuable than anything else for him imo

[topaz canyon]

i always try to gamma 4 as soon as possilbe for the extra mobility option

but i feel like a7 unlocks a whole new gameplay

[winged dawn]

A7 is great due to tornados

The issue is strawks isn't a beamer

And shouldn't be played like one

So alpha maxing first ends up putting him in a role he isn't build for

Beta and gamma lvs put him in a more combo focused burst dmg role which is much better suited for a combo heavy high mobility character

[topaz canyon]

i get that

getting beta armor is hella important too

[winged dawn]

Best way i can explain is this
Strawks with 714 is comparable to a 111 rapidgo tho with more health
Strawks with 147 is comparable to iida with more mobility and no burn out which allows for getting kills super fast
174 puts strawks in a more rapid ochaco type role with his main sourse of damage now being uncounterable while also having supurb mobility

The issue is that a beamer strawks is effectively just worse rapidgo while a more comvo focused level path puts him in a much less crowded archetype and lets his strengths shine over the others in that archetype

There are better beamers than strawks. Some you may not expect like assualt AM even but few compete with the mobility and combo potential he has with some beta and gamma levels

[frozen trail]

going alpha 7 for split
gmma 4 for the second charge
and beta 9 casue i like the bete

[winged dawn]

Domt do beta 9

All beta lvs 8 and 9 do is give 4 extra dmg. Thats the last thing you do as a result
Those levels are much better spent getting alpha 9 for the hitbox or gamma 7 for the 30 dmg perception tick

[frozen trail]

but beta is cool

[tropic estuary]

Where hv u been nebs

[vivid surge]

in the void tbh (college stuff has been draining) but also lost a lil bit of interest/motivation for mhur, but I'm alive so dw

[tropic estuary]

Understandable, glad u back bud

[wary lagoon]

Stay warm its so bad right now

[vivid surge]

Tyty, I'm trying to stay warm and all that 😭

Been thinking sht playing mhur again as of late but the lack of decent balancing is still kinda killing the vibe 💔

[wary lagoon]

Its a lot of learning to deal with X characters

Once you get the counters down its not as bad

But coming back after a break it will be like whiplash

[vivid surge]

How do you even deal w Nagant bc she's been one of the biggest issues as of late

[tropic estuary]

Just hope you ain't in her black list

[wary lagoon]

I usually bets/gamma up and knock her. Win 99% of the time. She cant really defend herself in the sky as they do that to run away.

If you can snag her into a combo its ggz. Its just a matter of getting the jump on her.

[vivid surge]

Makes sense, just definitely struggling w her in that regard. Especially since I haven't played hawks in a hot minute; rapid or strike

[wary lagoon]

well got my guides to help if ya need them lol strike is a good pick still

[runic tendon]

quirk assist gear looks so fly

no pun intended

[wary lagoon]

im convinced assist gear makes your performance go up lmao

[obsidian badger]

How can u use toga tunning on that costume ?

[wary lagoon]

I don't need card dup. My duo has it and gives me the levels

Its one of now 25 builds so I change alot

[obsidian badger]

Oooooo right

Idk what to chose between gear combat dangerous variant or

Combat variant

Im like mmmmmmmmm

[wary lagoon]

Dangerous is a better version of the formal villain

If you have formal villain already I'd do the combat first on assist gear

[wary lagoon]

I should of clarified that it was default Parallel tuning 😭 thats why it was locked to a blue villain

[obsidian badger]

Yea i've noticed that after lmao

[obsidian badger]

Assist gear is my only skin of hawks thats so

[wary lagoon]

Aaahh alright. If it was me I'd do the Dangerous then. Acceleration on the right is amazing. 20s cooldown not 40. Only other outfit he can do that on is wind General. You also can slot whatever in the yellow. Embrittlement. QFR. Space hop or sisterly. I honestly run all might tuning when im bored for fast PU. Its a pretty flexible build. And if you dont use Acceleration then you still have other good blue tunings. Muscle Form imo is slept on (but better with crushing pu so that would go on combat build if ya felt it)

One thing I do want to point out is Combat has more red slots so technically it can do more damage but dangerous with embrittlement would be better

[obsidian badger]

Right tyyyy

So dangerous seems to be better after all

Combat is more pretty thought

[wary lagoon]

If ya souls just buy them both lol run dangerous tuning with combats look

[wary lagoon]

Anytime! I enjoy tuning and build crafting so always brainstorming ideas lol

[frozen trail]

Are the new outfits good for hawks/

[wary lagoon]

The new assist gear has some good tunings yes. If you dont have any purs id say get this or wind gen if ya can.

[storm relic]

I'm happy I got any of them lol

It's nicer that I can run a build I like as well

[frozen trail]

I started playing last month so yeah any outfir would be nice
the best tuning for him is special eraload and alpha / beta dmg?

[wary lagoon]

Depends on how you play and what bird. If its rapid you want reload on gamma and beta

[storm relic]

I have a decent flex build for both

[wary lagoon]

I did a Fixer build for hp once for fun and got him +20HP 😂 😭

[frozen trail]

strike

[frozen trail]

Isnt that like really nothing

[wary lagoon]

Yes but it looks funny

[wary lagoon]

Strike i do gamma damage and reload as I use it the most.

[frozen trail]

I use the gama as strike hakws 70% for momvement i use the alpga beta more to do dmg

[wary lagoon]

He does need some tlc on his special but it has a built in delay anyways so its hard to tell if tuning helps it.

[wary lagoon]

My full combo is beta gamma gamma alpha beta if im allowed. People make it very easy to do because they panic

Kind of an example of not being allowed lol I was being 3rd party by all might and denki when trying to fight afo and compress.

Once I get home I can send better clips or links tbh

[lime skiff]

how good would yall say strike hawks is on a tier list

[wispy cliff]

whats the best skin for strike tuning

[distant dune]

Top 6

[lime skiff]

is he hard to use at all

or is he a very turn off ur brain and play character like ofa deku

[distant dune]

Hes got decent thought process

You need to be aware of people who will see you during combos due to being vulnerable

But apart from that hes not very difficult

[lime skiff]

whats the level order for strike hawks

and what does charging the beta do

[distant dune]

Nothing

[distant dune]

G4 b or a 7 then do the latter

[distant dune]

Ggs ace

[hidden pecan]

Any cyber hero builds for red hawks?

[wary lagoon]

I have others but these are my main two on cyber.

Dont sleep on double green. The fact it has 5 red slots makes it amazing

[hidden pecan]

Heat one looks sick!gotta get enough hero souls for it then

[hoary rampart]

I haven't clipped my gameplay unfortunately but I have been practicing and getting better! I've gotten some nasty downs off my combos! Strike Hawks is really fun, I'm so happy I can play Hawks now without being free food for half the lobby : D
At first, I was doing Gamma 4, Beta 9, Alpha 9, but I struggle to hit a lot of my Alpha's if it's not leveled up so I've been keeping it on par with my Beta, if not higher in games where I struggle to get level up cards

[hidden pecan]

Just realised i have the formal suit one as well

Are there any good builds for that one too?

[wary lagoon]

Embrittlement or qfr and acceleration

Im at work so I cant grab a screen cap but he has a few alright runs. Sub tunings are very balanced. Nothing fancy

[hidden pecan]

It genuinely sucks being out of hero souls ugh

[wary lagoon]

Felt

Im out as well lmao

[atomic dust]

Anyone have a damage build for Rapid Hawks? I’m barely tickling people 💔

[wary lagoon]

What outfits do you have?

[atomic dust]

I’ve got the regular one, parallel, cyber hero, formal and quirk assist

[wary lagoon]

One of my damage builds was on parallel. You can do default with qfr and card dup or gp sucker. The attack slots focus on what you use most. I do alpha damage a lot. Once I get home I can send some stuff. You can also do embrittlement for more damage.

[atomic dust]

Sweet thanks so much!

[distant dune]

Tickling is your job

But dmg wise ye he sucks

Id recommended his new fit combat style

[distant dune]

Try learn these for more dmg <3

Also comboing your gamma into alpha is great

[atomic dust]

I have stick drift combos are impossible for me since my aim flicks all over the place

[distant dune]

Oh man im sorry to hear that..

Stick drift really messes up rapid birb

[atomic dust]

Hoping I can get new joycons mid this year but I’ll have to wait until then to know

[distant dune]

I believeeee

[wary lagoon]

shiggy tuning will help. i dont own yafo so i cant really take him off or move his slots but i would say something like this with shiggy or yafo. the red slots you can put in alpha damage or beta. whatever you use. i think on rapid i fall back on these ones the most. first two are more damage. last two are more reload based.

these two i am working on but dont have the rainbows to finish. sisterly is a place holder. but that build you can also do on the formal so ill share that as well. the difference is accel 40s or 20s

@atomic dust hope those help some

[atomic dust]

These are great thank you again💙

[wary lagoon]

☕ any time

[jaunty hornet]

Guys how do i consistently land my beta with rapid hawks

[distant dune]

You don't

Has horrible tracking

But just make sure ur close to them

[jaunty hornet]

There's always room for improvement

[distant dune]

No you don't understand

The tracking will go for people away from hawksnand outside of his range

For example

In villian hideout

If you aim at someone above the little cubbys

He'll go down

[tropic estuary]

The fact he beta doesn't hv armor is just an L ngl
A sneeze could knock him out of beta

[vivid surge]

But if you give him some, people will complain 🫩

[distant dune]

If you give him anything

Because hes the king von of the game

People have ptsf

[tropic estuary]

It's inevitable, complaints can never be stopped in here
Whether good or bad

[distant dune]

Ptsd

[tropic estuary]

Real

If they gave bro 1 alpha ammo, they are sum peeps that will still complain lmao

[hidden pecan]

What are some good strike hawks combos?im currently learning little by little and so far i can pull gamma into alpha and beta into alpha

Might stick with strike hawks ngl im performing better than with my usual main yellow ochako

[balmy berry]

Lmao I like doing beta beta gamma or beta gamma (tap) beta depends on the enemy distance

It does a lot of dmg but for beta gamma beta to work u need to hit the enemy from beta max distance

Idk if it's 100% Iam still learning it tbh

It's hard to do ngl

Beta camera change fks me up

Is there a way to stop that?

[distant dune]

There's a setting

[balmy berry]

Found it thanks

Thank u

Now time to git gud

At strike hawks

[wary lagoon]

Beta gamma
Gamma beta
Beta alpha
Gamma alpha
Beta gamma gamma alpha beta
Beta melee gamma
Charge Alpha beta
He has a lot
But you need to pay attention to i frames. Some ppl recover mid combo and some don't.

[balmy berry]

Wall runner hawks is nice

It's really nice

Shame he can't heal like tokoyami in the air

[wary lagoon]

He can

[balmy berry]

I know the ledge tech

But u can't bring out your healing mid flight

😂

[wary lagoon]

It would slow him down to like a crawl if you could

[balmy berry]

But u can gain crazy air time with the wall runner tech

But yea

I like the way he is

I hope they don't fk him up like rapid

https://tenor.com/view/stan-twt-reaction-meme-funny-begging-crying-gif-11151243012681431164

[wary lagoon]

Sure but with wall run you couldn't heal anyways

[balmy berry]

Yea sadly

[wary lagoon]

His special drain doesnt slow down when healing so you wouldn't go very far. Tokoyamis fly has no drain and its already slow. I think thats why he can get away with it.

[balmy berry]

Yea

[hidden pecan]

I see ty

Sometimes i get to do gamma then gamma again which is pretty satisfying

Only on hp tho

[wary lagoon]

You can hit another alpha after gamma gamma or beta under them (they usually fall into it)

[mellow vector]

FAHH

[distant dune]

FAHH

[storm relic]

FAHH

[brittle brook]

If you mean double beta ,
On controller I've been told that holding down then 180ing is a good way and it's seemed to improve my double betas a lot. I also try to save the beta swing if it tracks weirdly bc I usually can't react to that.

But if you mean the first beta, idk

[wary lagoon]

all this and lost because my team was emoting in the storm when i got grabbed by an ibara 😭

[atomic dust]

NAHH 😭 immediate block

[wary lagoon]

i was so sad 😭 because i was doing so well

i tried some solo q rank and have been getting beginner players so this is how my games have been going. just keep picking them up its fine

[atomic dust]

That’s so felt I’ve only been getting babies in soloq as well it’s getting ridiculous

[wary lagoon]

i try my best to carry them. after this these two locked in. kind of... i got 13ks out of 16 but they did get the last!

[atomic dust]

I cannot carry lol 😭 I’m just here to drink team heals, revive and damage the enemy until eventually my teammates get the kill

[wary lagoon]

i can only do it in low lobbies. i cant in higher rank

[distant dune]

Forgot to take a ss

[wary lagoon]

legit how my games have been lmao

i need to be back in expert

bot my main got shadow banned so now im on my alt

[distant dune]

This is in ace but you are COOKING GIRLY

[wary lagoon]

i had like a 15kd for a bit because its every lobby

it feels unfair to be creaming these babies

[distant dune]

I started when the season did so I got zen sweats In my games

[wary lagoon]

I started last night for some games. Got tired of fighting babies so I joined a friend for expert lobbies

I never see Zens in any of my games tbh but im not in rank often

I just get my emblem and dip

[tropic estuary]

Ong<fawkass Wu n AFA stacks every game

[distant dune]

I go for top 100 tbh

[wary lagoon]

I dont have the time or patience

Top 15k is my spot

And thats easy

[surreal canyon]

they splashed me with cold water

[tropic estuary]

Ice bird

[topaz canyon]

WHAT SETTING?

i lwk need ts

[balmy berry]

Go to settings→gameplay→camera movement

Turn that off

[topaz canyon]

alr

[main fulcrum]

Haven’t played rapid hawks in a bit

[distant dune]

WASHING MACHINE HERO LEAK????!?!?

[surreal canyon]

LMFAOOOOO

#community-content message

Full informative videos on skills combos and tuning

[storm relic]

would you guys say red hawks needs nerfs?

[distant dune]

Yes

Hes top 5 imo

[wary lagoon]

Yeah but I dont want to admit it. Buff rapid before they nerf strike

[hidden pecan]

Same i genuinely love the low downpower on red hawks but can’t admit it

Beta genuinely helps clearing endgames

[topaz canyon]

the rerun made a lot of people get him

and uhh half of them dont know what they're doing

and the other half do

so im always praying cuz sometimes im forced to switch off

[storm relic]

i wouldn't mind if they lowered his damage across the board

just don't hurt his ammo or reload speed

[bleak flume]

Knowing Byking, they just saw
"Nerf"
"Damage"
Ammo"
"Reload speed"

They're taking notes

[wary lagoon]

Strike was buffed after release. I am waiting for them to take it away because they will. They always do

However when they fixed his beta bug ppl dropped him

[wary lagoon]

He was show off as a combo based character. If they mess with his downpower at all it will unfortunately ruin his kit

[distant dune]

We just need a rapid buff as compensation

Trust

[wary lagoon]

They wont give us that😭

[distant dune]

Yeah but let me cooe

Cope

[wary lagoon]

I do think hawks is fine as in he won't get nerfed. He was released like Tech Denki. "Weak" then over buffed. S Hawks will probably fly under the radar like Denki and i almost want to say Kirishima.

[topaz canyon]

he's exactly like kiri

i've lwk stopped asking for kiri nerfs cuz i think he takes a great amount of skill

but the dmg is crazy i will say that 😭

[distant dune]

Gamma is ridiculous

[topaz canyon]

im saying

[wary lagoon]

People need to stop recovering into it when they got iframes 😔 its not our fault they give us free damage

[distant dune]

I was talking about red kiri

But hawks aswell

[wary lagoon]

Oh lol I hardly see red kiri 😭

[surreal canyon]

Seeing a red kiri that knows what they're doing is the most horrifying thing

[distant dune]

I find him pretty easy tbh

[wary lagoon]

Its rare. Most Kiris I see just alpha roll away. Ive been seeing more do the hardening glitch if I fail a combo on them. I think maybe 1 out of 5 red kiris I find actually are confident and know what their doing. It is scary when not expecting it. I'll admit he does give me more issues than Nagant or Iron Might. Simply because of the shield blocking things

[topaz canyon]

this game is gonna turn in a hero shooter next week

cuz nejire with the healing is gonna feel like killing a tank 😭

imagine allat healing with hyper regen or on tech shiggy 😭

400 hp chracters are abt feast lol

[wary lagoon]

She can't heal in the storm

[topaz canyon]

her only downside ngl

but she's gonna become an immediate s tier

[wary lagoon]

Her alpha i think is 20 gp to heal or 50 damage to enemies

[topaz canyon]

and her tuning seems pretty good with hp plus and gp plus

[topaz canyon]

i've heard the fire rate is really fast

[wary lagoon]

I think whats going to be worse is Mirio and Tamaki with Nejire

Because of the buffs they get with already solid kits

[topaz canyon]

yea prolly gonna be alot of full teams running that comp

[wary lagoon]

It is but she doesnt have alot. And the beta reload is long

[topaz canyon]

that makes her an immediate target

oh alr some balance

[wary lagoon]

I think Nejire on her own is a sitting duck but in the middle of a team she will be an issue.

She cant attack during beta other then pre burst it but thats only 150 or so damage with a long reload

[topaz canyon]

kind of like normal afo in comp play

characters like that are really scary when with a co-ordinated team

[wary lagoon]

Oh forsure

My friend is a Nejire main. We run SHawks, Nejire, TMirio most days.

[topaz canyon]

was full teaming with friends yesterday and we ran afo tech shiggy and todoroki 😭

my pulls led to tod's like 3 times

[wary lagoon]

Im interested to see how support Nejire will fit into our comp

[topaz canyon]

becaus of how little downpower tech shiggy does

[wary lagoon]

Thats crazy work

[topaz canyon]

felt bad

but it had to be done

needed the ranked points and the dopamine

[distant dune]

@plush linden

Talk here more

Your learning hawks off me may aswell talk to other hawksys

[plush linden]

I don't really talk much anywhere lol

[distant dune]

Too bad I kidnapped you here

[plush linden]

Like Always

[bleak flume]

Top tier pfp

[distant dune]

THANK YOUUU

I feel represented by her

^^

[bleak flume]

That's so peak

I love her so much

Her technique makes my head hurt tho

[wary lagoon]

All Might wanted to go out with a bang 😭

[topaz canyon]

had to clip farm before he went out

[tropic estuary]

Bro used the last ember

[hoary rampart]

The sun coming in is my favorite part 😭😭

[main fulcrum]

Melee combos are kind of back?

[bleak flume]

Put him against the wall and told him to be quiet. Good lord, that was mean

[balmy berry]

What to do when Iam fighting tech shiggy in building as strike hawks

Cuz that sht makes depressed

Any trips

[wary lagoon]

its tech shiggy so its a struggle if you are alone. i try to get him in a corner and just beta gamma alpha cycle the combos before he can get away or react. locking him down is key but if they do the alpha roll cheese it could be ggz

[balmy berry]

Thanks

[agile wedge]

Anyone have Rapid Hawks tuning? I got a outfit and you know how that goes

[storm relic]

Which one

[agile wedge]

Parallel world

[wary lagoon]

Qfr can go on these. I just dont have yafo. I also have swapping Cementoss for Ibara

[agile wedge]

I might go with first so I don't gotta spend souls

[main fulcrum]

Lowkey my favorite build on him now

Do reload tunings actually do anything btw?

I wish i could replace kota finder for either ability manifest or willpower though tbh

[wary lagoon]

if you stack one type, like all gamma, you can shave a lot of time off. cyber vill with crushing pu is my fav.

[main fulcrum]

I thought they removed the ability to stack no?

[wary lagoon]

back with old tunning you could cut reload by 4s

So

Old tuning was
1.02
1.02
1.02
For 3.06
Now however its only
1.06

[topaz canyon]

im pretty sure they reduced the effect

[wary lagoon]

Reload still can cut down the time but its more efficient under Fixer but thats with anything

[main fulcrum]

So you can only cut it down by one second 😭? That’s so ahh

[wary lagoon]

Fixer is 2.1 so if you slot something under Fixer you can get the old effects

[main fulcrum]

Or do you mean if you don’t stack it then it’s 1 second individually

[main fulcrum]

Sadly this outfit doesn’t have fixer

It’s fine though

I love card dupe on him

Rapid specifically

Feels amazing

[wary lagoon]

his good fixer build imo is on para

@agile wedge another decent build

[topaz canyon]

he has a fixer on formal suit too

it's pretty decent for buffing gamma attack pwr

[main fulcrum]

I used to run this build but revenge strike is so bad on him

Rapid anyway

[wary lagoon]

Prob could run Nagant now if you get kos with alpha. And just beam

[wary lagoon]

Rawr 😼
Why he so zesty in alls justice lmao

[storm relic]

when isn't he

[atomic dust]

Hawks is never beating the zesty allegations

[main fulcrum]

Support hawks isn’t real, he can’t hurt you 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[wary lagoon]

Imagine this in control when it comes back 😭 just sit in spawn and drink

[main fulcrum]

I can’t wait to test the build out 😭

[main fulcrum]

Support hawks is actually genuinely goated

You guys should totally test the build out

I replaced compression magic for warp heal tho

[coarse lintel]

I have compression magic and Warp heal also

Just on different outfits

[wary lagoon]

warp divine has been my main build for a few seasons now. i'd like to test Nejire's tuning but saving tickets. so broke lmao

[storm relic]

So Hawks is very fun to play in AJ

he's a blend of his rapid and strike kit, and does have free flight

[main fulcrum]

The only thing tilting me about him is his wings

They’re so ugly 😭

[storm relic]

Buy a new outfit

[wary lagoon]

He has his normal hero fit with normal wings. But unfortunately his fantasy and war outfit are the damaged ones

[main fulcrum]

Yeah that’s what makes me sad :(

[shy wasp]

Hey with red hakws, If I charge Quirk Beta, does it reach a more distance or does it just keep me in the same place longer?

[distant dune]

Same place for longer

[storm relic]

It's just buffering

Let's you wait for the opponent

[hidden pecan]

Would embrittlement and strike revenge be good on strike hawks?

Ive had space hop but i dont really see it as useful

[wary lagoon]

Im a big fan of Embrittlement and RS. He does not have an outfit that can run this set up. The yellow red builds are all hero right slot on his Cyber outfits. You can however do Embrittlement Iron fist or trance blow if you wanted to focus more melee.

[hidden pecan]

ohh i forgot it was hero slot only

[tropic estuary]

Real

[weak prairie]

I’m thinking of running YAFO tuning and acceleration on his new costume thoughts?

Strike hawks

[storm relic]

people would say yes

[wary lagoon]

Another reminder to why I need yafo 😔

[storm relic]

i couldn't imagine playing overhaul without it

[distant dune]

Id say willpower is a must in this meta

You also need to touch the ground for your cooldowns

Which your losing half the value of qfr

[weak prairie]

Special action reload boost better

[weak prairie]

Yafo tuning speeds up every thing even your special action

All you need is a guard break

[distant dune]

Yeah?

Hawks has to touch the ground for his cooldowns to start again

In saying

You are missing a good chunk of how long the cooldown reduction lasts

[wary lagoon]

This is true. Qrf is nice if you dont go in the air as Hawks but if you break a guard and air stall or something happens and you dont reset, you can burn the entire cooldown for qrf. Ive had it happen on rapid hawks. Breaking a guard in free flight and qrf not working

If hawks didn't need to touch the ground to trigger it would be amazing. Hel if the tuning could override that delay it would probably be his best option.

[weak prairie]

I don’t have rapid

I use strike

But I understand I see the disadvantages

[wary lagoon]

Strike gamma and beta and special only reload on the ground so he has the same issue

You basically need to cut your combo chains in half

[storm relic]

i miss 90% of what I put out so its not that bad

[weak prairie]

I still think it’ll be beneficial I’m on the ground most of the time after doing combos that guarantee a guard break but I was planning it for special action

So it’s probably better I run special action reload boost

Or does that still not work if I’m not touching ground

[wary lagoon]

It still wont work. The tuning will trigger but hawks has a built in lock that just prevents him from reloading in the air until he touches the ground again. You hypothetically can by pass it by tapping a wall or something to try and start the reload but you need to be hyper aware of whats around you for that.

[atomic dust]

I touch the ground or a building after guard breaking with rapid Hawks it seems to work good for my play style

[covert flint]

Some strike hawks clips I’ve actually started using his melee more

[topaz canyon]

melee is amazing imo

especially for catching wakeups

[covert flint]

Yeah it’s satisfying to use too

[topaz canyon]

am i the only one experiencing severe lag in us servers rn?

[fringe stream]

I.. am so bad at strike hawks

[storm relic]

Welcome to the club

[wary lagoon]

My best advice for new birds is make the target your end point on beta if its a 1v1. You can combo into melee gamma or alpha way easier. A lot of people struggle with the beta because they use it for aoe in big fights and thats fine you can get a lot of cross damage but its easier to focus one at a time with him.

[wary lagoon]

any improvement is good you guys are doing great

[fringe stream]

I’ve been trying to nail double beta but where they bounce from the first one just seems inconsistent for beta into beta

I think just understand the range on it is going to be annoying

I also been just maxing out gamma first which im not sure is the right thing to do but it does feel like it

I know beta only needs level 7 for the super armor

[wary lagoon]

I do Gamma 4 for the 2nd gamma then go Alpha 7 or Beta 7. It will depend on if I have loot time or if im fighting. If im fighting off spawn its beta 7 for the armor

[fringe stream]

But i’ve been prioritizing just hitting 9 with gamma after getting things to 4

[wary lagoon]

Double beta ive noticed also works more efficiently if you do not put in any input after you hit it. The camera like auto turns to the target and at least on pc controller idk if its different on console the aim assist kicks in and directs the 2nd beta. But it is iffy. I usually do double beta if the target is in a building as there's less of a window for them to fall away

[fringe stream]

Also how badly do you think strike hawk needs costume tuning? Or just a neat bonus?

[fringe stream]

Hmm I see

[wary lagoon]

Ive got over 25 builds for Hawks that I change. If he needs anything its special action related. But he does just fine. Honestly his default outfit is fine for a budget build with Fixer.

[wary lagoon]

7 should be more important than 9. His extra stuff is after lv 7.
Gamma 4 you get a 2nd gamma.
But lv 7 alpha you get his charged alpha and 3 tornadoes you can cluster if aimed down and do 200+ damage.
His beta has armor at lv 7 so you dont get knocked out of it as easily. The levels do nothing for reloads just give you a bit more damage.
Gamma at 7 gets his tracking but only on the file burst.

[fringe stream]

Hmm I see

[topaz canyon]

tmy advice to new strike hawks players is utilize your hitboxes

especially alpjha lvl 7

which is why for new players i recommend g4 a7 over g4 b7

also @wary lagoon what cosume is that divine protection qfr build on?

[topaz canyon]

beta is pretty inconsistent with where it sends people so i mostly use it as a combo ender or just beta alpha/gamma

[wary lagoon]

Parallel fancy

[topaz canyon]

oh alr

[plain citrus]

any good tuning build for default and cyber hero costume?

[storm relic]

we need to pin taco's builds lol

if you want to play support, you can do kota and civvy rescue on two of the outfits

I have qfr and kota on one

[hidden pecan]

I use revenge strike and space hop on the default cyber hero

[plain citrus]

he so fun to play

[subtle adder]

What's the level up path for strike hawks

[wary lagoon]

Gamma 4 then Alpha 7 or Beta 7 depending on play style

[subtle adder]

Cause the outfit I'm using is the all black one I forgot the name

[wary lagoon]

I can send builds once I get on. My main two are cyber villain with crushing pu and gp or card dup. 5 tech slots for reload.
Or cyber heat with divine and warp heal. Heat has 5 red slots for damage.

[subtle adder]

Cause i know I got gp sucker and symbol of peace for the tunings

[wary lagoon]

Probably default Parallel world with 4 strikes slots yellow left villain blue right ✅️

[subtle adder]

It's both villain and hero for both

[plain citrus]

yes please 😄

im maining 2 birds 😂

[wary lagoon]

first two my most used builds. i dont have young AFO but you can slot QFR on the yellow builds if ya want. sometimes i swap Crushing for Tamaki tuning, Kota, or Willpower

only cyber i dont have a tuning on is the Fancy lmao idk what to do with it

[frozen trail]

Best wind general outfit for striek hawks?

[topaz canyon]

we lwk gotta pin all this info cuz i feel like either me or taco is saying smth abt builds every day 😆

but uh depends what you want

raw dmg would go for wind general heat- allows you to run accel revenge strike

wind general villian style lets you run fixer/crit perm with accel

[subtle adder]

Doesn't his melee does a lot of damage?

[topaz canyon]

umm alot is not the word for his melee

it's good dmg

but if you want to catch a wakeup gamma is way better

as you can combo after gamma but he lost his melee combos

but he has one of the best melee's in the game

it's just unfair that kendo,ofa deku and yafo can do all they can with their melee's but he cant

still good dmg tho

[subtle adder]

I see

[winged dawn]

I just do gamma 7, beta 7, alpha 9
Gamma 7 gives a massive 30 dmg spike and a hitbox increase (something you wouldn't normally think as important but it really can be sometimes)
Beta 7 then gives armor and significantly more dmg on his primary dmg source being combos
Finally alpha 7 is primarily useful for tornados which isn't bad and can definitely be worth it i dont think its worth reducing his combo dmg.

What strike hawks was made to do is fly around, swoop in with a combo, and finish off with a few alphas which is something that is much harder to do with 714 as your combos will barely guardbreak the opponent leading to needing 2 alpha loops to kill most targets afterwards which is a lot.
Alternatively if you are 147 suddenly your combos can do 350 which leads to only needing 1 alpha loop.
Additionally it gets even worse when you compare 744 to 177 (equal levels using my path vs yours) 744 will often struggle to finish the interaction after the first combo due to needing 3+ alphas to finish the job usually but if you have 177 then your combos will be doing upwards of 400 after tuning which means you will often just kill the opponent outright or leave them in 1 shot range

Combo numbers
Standard beta, tap gamma, alpha. All considered pre strike buff and tuning
414 = 251
117 = 278
714= 259
147= 290
744= 271
177= 310

All of which are considered pre tuning and strike buffs but consider that strike benefits will benefit 177 more due to the multi hit nature

I used to think 714 was best but i later realized that buffing alpha with levels just wasn't worth it as most of my dmg didn't come from alpha. Instead it came from beta combos

Besides if you want a high mobility glorified beamer then rapidgo is right there lol

[wary lagoon]

Yeah im a gamma spammer. Unfortunately when I play I get only a beta gamma off and the opponent is dead because of my stack. My friend has this terrible habit of stealing all my kos.

[winged dawn]

Play into it

[wary lagoon]

But alone most my fights are just TODs.

[winged dawn]

Strike hawks is AMAZING at setting up team combo TOD situations

[wary lagoon]

Oh yeah he is

[winged dawn]

Essentially any no knockdown alpha can result in a TOD to the person hit by strawks

[wary lagoon]

My friend is usually on a Nejire and or 3rd is Tokoyami or Tech Mirio

[winged dawn]

Toko is a awful teamate but depending on the nejire she can be good. Tech mirio is great tho since his alpha has very low DP

[wary lagoon]

Nejire is good for us. Our 3rd... he wont listen to any of my suggestions so im 1v2 anyways. Tech mirio is nice. Better than when he was trying Kirishima.

My games go 1 of 2 ways. 1, my Nejire takes all my kos or 2, im carrying with 10kos a game. Thats usually when im solo tbh

People dont understand how to fight this character and just allow you to combo. Its great but the shadowbans are lowkey getting annoying when its not myself People leave themselves open.

[hidden pecan]

Doing double gamma on hp is so satisfying

[wary lagoon]

i like to Beta gamma gamma alpha spam lol and just count the amount of times ppl try to recover 😭

[late storm]

As someone who does not have strike hawks yet, I must say that your reasons do sound good for the not leveling alpha argument, however, the beta into gamma doesn’t seem that consistent

Either due to them not flying into you after the beta causing the gamma tap to miss, the beta not getting them with the right amount of distance close to you, the after strikes missing, etc

charged alpha into beta into alpha seems much more consistent imo

[wary lagoon]

Beta into gamma is consistent if the target is as close to the end point as possible. His hit box is bigger in the front.

[late storm]

Hm I see

Oh yeah it’s the beta beta gamma one that isn’t consistent

[topaz canyon]

beta combos are generally inconsistent and require to realize how far away they are like in the vid taco sent she hit the end point of the beta hitbox so they were close enough for the gamma

but if the hit the beta midway shed prolly go for an alpha

[topaz canyon]

as finicky as it is it's still one of his strongest combos tbh

i dont have a go to lvl up path

the only thing i keep consistent is g4

like today is did g9 b7 a7 for fun and it went pretty well

sometimes id g4 a7 b7

or g7b7 a9 g9

i lwk just go with the flow so i recommend everyone to lvl up what they feel comfortable with

but b9 is pretty useless

I need help

@covert flint

[covert flint]

Sure

[junior ingot]

Can we vc

[junior ingot]

Yooo

[wary lagoon]

What questions do you have

Most common thing ppl ask is his beta. Best thing i can suggest is make the target your end point as the hit box is bigger in the front

Common lv path is G4 then A7 or B7 for newer birds

Wind General heat is one of his best damage based tunings

[junior ingot]

Accel or wall runner?

[wary lagoon]

I do acceleration, card up, gp sucker or muscle form.

[junior ingot]

What about for purple

@wary lagoon

[wary lagoon]

Fixer, electrification, crit perm, high speed, or tech shiggy for passing heals

Ive got a lot of builds. Probably can check images here for some

[junior ingot]

Eletricfucation?

Wouldn’t that mess up alot of combos

@wary lagoon

[wary lagoon]

No it turns his special action into an attack and if you break guard on melee it opens up combos. Trance blow can mess up a combo as it gives the target a higher knock back but electrification holds them

But everyone plays different so I say use what tuning works best for you. Just because it works for one person doesn't mean it will work for the next because of playstyles

[junior ingot]

Strike hawks is soooo hard

Like im getting beat up by everybody with him

And he’s supposed to be good

@wary lagoon I neeed a guide

[winged dawn]

HEAVILY disagree with this sentiment.

Imo wall runner defined strike hawks as a character and is EASILY the best tuning skill in his arsenal as its by far the bes way to gain hight fast not just for strike hawks but arguably in the entire game. Its so unbelievably broken and single handedly makes him 1 tier better.

You also suggest electrification but just no. It makes special action a weapon but in exchange you make beta into gamma tap unnecessarily inconsistent and making a Bnb like that super inconsistent for little benefit is awful.

This guide i wrote should cover why i think wall runner is his top 1 tune by a mile and give some insight on things i recommend for tuning.

Its shocking to me that quirk assist combat isn't the unanimous vote for best hawks fit rn tbh

Also your guide video could use a update. Its very outdated and covers tactics that dont belong in modern day imo

https://ultrarumble.com/guide/character/4301

[topaz canyon]

well as someone who has tried both

i will say

that wall runner is really amazing on him for that extra verical height but recommending accel is not bad aswell

[winged dawn]

Both deserve a mention i agree

I think wall run and accel are the 2 best rapid options by far and dont deserve to be looped in with card dupe and gp sucker

And especially not muscle form

Wall runner is clear number 1
Accel is clear number 2
Card dupe and gp sucker are both far number 3/4
And muscle form isn't even in the conversation

I think rev rapid has a better argument than muscle form due to increasing the speed of boost gamma

[winged dawn]

In regards to this i would also be open to using a double rapid build if the option became avaliable. Currently i will stick to wall run however i acknowledge that accel is also very strong and very potentially the 2nd best tuning for strawks in the game

[wary lagoon]

Cool thing about tuning is different things work for different people

Because it works for you don't mean it works for others

Its so funny i was asked to do the strike hawks guide back when he was released but I have a job and am way to busy for it. Did the video the day he came out so yeah its outdated but its enough to get someone started. Its called an intro guide for a reason.

[topaz canyon]

Yeah your vid was what i watched when i first started out

i remember that vividly

i was still using held gamma for movement

[wary lagoon]

I made it like an hour after hawks got released

[topaz canyon]

🥹

[wary lagoon]

Rapid guide however I waited a year to make because of all his nerfs. Strike ill probably update by next anniversary because I do see him getting a nerf soon

Guides can get outdated so fast

But I wanted to make something to get people started with the character. Thats why its short and covers the basics.

Lethal asked me back in like November to make the database guide. I said sure but never had time so it never happened. Life has been a mess recently 😔 reason my Bakugo guides are currently sitting in development limbo

[balmy berry]

They're coming for strike hawks people

I am worried he is gonna get gutted like rapid hawks

[wary lagoon]

I don't think he will get gutted but I can see them reverting his s14 buffs

Strike is why Rapid won't get a special action buff

[balmy berry]

Yea

[bronze bear]

I’ve been playing a lot of rapid hawks (twice is borderline unplayable if I get focused 🥺) not a bad character just suffers from power creep and can’t avoid cc like lemillion

I don’t understand why hawks-rapid beta is rollable

honestly on of the only changes I’d want for him besides maybe special action or alpha tracking

[wary lagoon]

its crazy to think there was a time RHawks had 3 betas 😭

[tropic estuary]

[summer flame]

Hello Hawks enjoyers, i just pulled ràpid Hawks in my alt acc and i wanted to play him, so far im having a blast, was meaning to ask, what's The best skill upgrade order?

[late storm]

got strike hawks

he is just as powerful as I've seen

though I feel like he kinda struggles a bit with flyers if they aren't on hp (able to be knocked by his alpha

hold gamma is a choice but it doesn't last too long

also yes the beta hitting but not the after strikes is annoying too

other than that I enjoy the combos

[topaz canyon]

my least favorite thing abt him im not going to lie

always gets me punished for landing my beta

[late storm]

posting here for feedback

dunno how I would properly kill this guy just constantly going up into the air

probably shouldn't have beta'ed so much but was the play to get up more close with the gamma? I'm not confident I could consistently do that

@topaz canyon might as well ping you if you have any ideas

[topaz canyon]

well those were panic betas which aren't very good to do tbh

you got punished multiple times for them

something i could have recommended was when you pu'd and he got sent into that corner

you could have either gotten up close for a melee

or held gamma to catch his wakeup

instead of flying away

and since you have lvl 9 alpha some held alpha would have spaced him out and forced him to stop trying to poke at you and try to engage with his stupid tracking beta

but that might have opened a better opportunity for you to pull off a quick combo if you manage to doge the beta

just try not to panic with his moves as although his cds are way better than they were on release you can still get easily punished

[late storm]

Yeah I acknowledge betas were pretty bad but I kinda felt I had no other option

Charged Alpha holds you in place for like a sec and a half

And I do like the hold gamma tracking but it sends you up like a second after being on the ground with it so it’s not as good as a wake up tool imo

As for melee I wasn’t sure if he could aim in and still have iframes and maybe grab me out mid melee on wake up

But yeah I see I shoulda tried to play a bit more closer now

But air opponents are pretty hard for him imo if not standing still

or not on hp

[topaz canyon]

still you just got him so it's fine

the more you play him you'll find solutions to problems like that

[coarse lintel]

I FINALLY GOT MY FAVORITE EMOTE

[winged dawn]

Against air targets here are the main options.
1, special conservation alpha. If you wish to learn special conservation check out the guide linked here https://ultrarumble.com/guide/character/4301
In short it lets you fly around at speeds that will realistically mean you wont be hit by 95% of players consistently and by doing this properly you could take advantage of the massive alpha hitbox to get a break and then use alphas stagger to finish the job
2, ground alpha. This one is basically just the previous one but you trade the edge in mobility for a significantly faster fire rate. This is useful against players with aim good enough to challenge you while flying and against characters you are willing to trade hp with to finish the fight faster. In this case option 1 would be what id prefer (tbh its usually option 1 for me)
3, special conservation again but this time you do so twards the tamaki and then try to take advantage of gammas massive hitbox and tracking to hit him while hes in the air. This can be inconsistent but if you notice a situation where you can reasonably fly twards the opponent like that and be roughly the same elevation or slightly below once you reach the opponent then its quite good.
4, is to simply fly away. Tamaki doesn't have the mobility to keep up with you essentially at all and considering how (from what it looked like) he had full gp and significant hp clearing put that fight would've been difficult so after he uses PU consider disengaging, healing up, and catching him lacking later on. Tamaki gets to live more likley than not in both senerios so the one where you get to keep PU is a good option

Those are the primary options i use against targets in the air. Beta is rarely one of them and honestly these days i dont even try to go for those types of betas because the risk reward is terrible especially considering the combos often drop when you're beta is angled so far up or down

[late storm]

Ground Alpha has a faster fire rate?

Also thanks I’ll look into that first tech, though would you want to get close or mid range when doing it with the alphas? The grab is kinda dangerous

and yeah makes sense with the beta, thanks again.

[winged dawn]

When grounded strawks can fire alphas faster yes
When spamming special conservation alphas against air targets like that i suggest being in the medium range since the more bullet travel time the opponent has the harder it is to hit you and since you will be firing alphas while moving at some of the highest speeds in the game this will help significantly however if you wish to swoop in for a gamma thats not insanely risky if you have good movement

[late storm]

Cool thanks, do one of your videos on the guide showcase this tech in use? If you can remember

I know you’ve got like 3-4 of them there

[winged dawn]

If you mean special conservation then yes, every video should have it

Its a core part of his gameplay

You will see the tech in use likley 50 times a game total atleast

[late storm]

I don’t see that much use for it for anything but the alpha tbh

Unless you really want to conserve the sa percentage the boost uses that can fling you with the gamma

I’ll test it out tho

[topaz canyon]

try not to overuse that gamma boost fling tech

try to use to disengage reset then wait for cds

i aim to keep my sa guage never lower than 45%

cuz the penalty reload is pretty horrid

although wall runner still gives that extra mobility

[late storm]

Nah I needed it in a lot of my games today

Had a Tamaki chase me across the new map

same one actually in that clip

escaped by using it

[topaz canyon]

ok in that situation that's fair

[late storm]

okay so @topaz canyon

that sa cons tech for alpha is not very good in small circles

controlling where you want to go other than forward with alpha movement tech is kinda hard

[topaz canyon]

most of his movement techs aren't good in small circle espcecially gamma boost

[late storm]

just kinda slows you

[topaz canyon]

cuz you can fling yourslef into storm

except moon jump

moon jump is great in every scenerio

[late storm]

yeah what can you do after moon jump tho in a small circle

rain alphas down?

[topaz canyon]

if you want to heal you can moon jump and then repositon with your alpha to keep momentum

or if you want to use it aggro you can moon jump and then do a super tornado although you can combo off it it's still a decent get off me tool

or you can always beta if they're directly below you

[late storm]

moon jump isnt totally consistent for me how do you do it again

you wallrun up a building and then like the last second when you get to the edge you jump?

[topaz canyon]

it's just normal wall runner jump tech

then gamma

tap

to ascend really high and fast

[late storm]

I don't really use any characters that do that so explain it to me

[topaz canyon]

oh alr

[late storm]

get to the edge and tap jump with no direction key?

[topaz canyon]

well there's a guide on the mhur database

but basically

it's jsut wall run and then jump

but elt go of all directional inputs

then you'll get really good height and momentum

[late storm]

seems to work without me even pressing jump

[topaz canyon]

i can record a clip in training and show you if you want me to

[late storm]

no I mean its in the guide

I just wasn't sure on the controls

[topaz canyon]

oh alr

it's just jump and let go of directional inputs at the same time

i used to use it on shoto when i played him alot

and it's amazing with iida

[late storm]

btw if im doing wallrunner

probably better to use hold for sprint right

tap is so finnicky with wallrunner

makes me waste my flight a lot

[topaz canyon]

i have autodash on

i find it easier so i can just grapple onto a wall if i need to escape

[late storm]

but you need to grapple first

you cant just start running on it

[wary lagoon]

i see wallrun get ppl killed a lot so use at your own risk

[topaz canyon]

it can be annoying sometimes when you're trying to enter a building

especially with autodash on 🤣

[wary lagoon]

you can get snagged on so much its not funny

thats why i just use rapid cards over it

i go for other blue tuning in its place because a rapid card gives you wall run and attack speed.

[wary lagoon]

if a build isn't working then i suggest seeing what works better for you. tuning is not one size fits all. people have different playstyles and other things work better for them so i always say lab stuff out. how you fight might be way different than another person fights.

[topaz canyon]

tuning is really like shoes tbh,everyone has preferences cuz like although for some chracters some tunings are like a must have you can always play around and see what you like

like froppy without reinforced is kinda idk selling i'd say

or tech denki without space hop

[wary lagoon]

i've got like 20-26 builds on Hawks from discount 1stars to 3stars. you can make anything work but it really depends on how one plays. another thing is MNK vs Controller allows for different kinds of tech that might not work. example his 'melee cancel' stuff is very hard at high frames.

[wary lagoon]

if she cant have reinforced a good sub is any special tuning like AFO. my friend did a tournament that banned almost all the blue tunings lol but AFO tuning wasn't so she got her special off soooo much.

[topaz canyon]

that's another good tuning for her

[wary lagoon]

i think people focus a lot on 'this is the best' and don't think outside the box. using other builds to make a character work for you and your team is important.

[late storm]

That's not what I said

I'm still learning

[wary lagoon]

right now im testing PU tunings. Crushing + Rejection. sub tuning slots are... questionable for this build but getting 3 to 4Pus off a game and using it to do free damage feels broken

[late storm]

obvs I'm not gonna have a build down by day 1

I don't use wallrun on anyone

[wary lagoon]

i know im just saying in general

[late storm]

I shouldn't quit just because I haven't mastered it in the first 7 hours

[wary lagoon]

i dont use wallrun

im not saying you should or should not use it

im just saying find what works

experiment

[topaz canyon]

nahh keep going gng you're gonna get him down

you're crazy at aizawa

if you can do that

you can get really god at hawks

[wary lagoon]

hawks is really just timing

timing and distance

[late storm]

just I was asking a question is all about whether to toggle sprint or not

I'm not going to give up on a build so quick

I'm aware if it doesn't suit me I can go smthn diiff

[wary lagoon]

and im not saying to

[topaz canyon]

maybe try a game with tap and one with hold

[late storm]

also oh wow you dont even need to technically be at the edge to the moon jump gamma

[winged dawn]

Just use autodash. Autodash lets you completely avoid the situation where you use special action when you try wall running and it makes wall run way smoother as a result

[late storm]

thats whats happening to me with autodash tho

cause Im mid air and try sprint to climb on the wall but I hit sa

Have to remember to hit jump first now

if in the air anyway

[winged dawn]

Well the thing is that the dash action input is what starts a wall run and a flight so the 2 trip over each other a lot when you dont manage it well.

Autodash skips the input when trying to wall run. Now the only thing you need to run on walls is to grab them and the game will do the rest which removes this trip that made wall run so annoying to use.

It will take some time getting used to autodash and not clicking sprint anymore when you dont need to but in the end this will allow you to freely transition between wall run and flight without tripping over each other

[late storm]

it is a second of delay grabbing and running but I guess I'll get better at it

[winged dawn]

If you have autodash you can simply just hold forward and tap whatever you have to wall cling and this will immediately transition you into wall run

[late storm]

yeah itll take some getting use to

thanks

btw sa conserving tech with gamma timing is so tight compared to alpha

[topaz canyon]

yea the wall run tech can be done from the middle of the wall

[winged dawn]

Yea, fortunately you can just do special conservation alpha, tap gamma or boost gamma instead

Makes life so much easier and more consistent

[late storm]

Yeah though I notice with the special conservation alpha it loses steam after the first one

slows down a bit

[winged dawn]

Dont spam alpha too quickly

Wait for half a sec or so in-between the alphas

You still lose a small amount of speed each time but its way less of a loss

[late storm]

I see I'll try that thanks

[main fulcrum]

As a rapid hawks main, i usually lvl alpha first and then gamma and then beta. I never upgrade beta first anymore because anyone above pro rank knows how to roll it so it’s inconsistent in that regard

[winged dawn]

Alpha 9 is borderline a mist for rapid hawks because of how the alpha scales

10 dmg, 14 dmg, and 18 for lvs 1-3, 4-8, and 9 respectively.

[summer flame]

Noted,tysm

[heavy idol]

@split sapphire were u strike hawks

[split sapphire]

Nope

[main fulcrum]

Wdym by this

Ahhh alright

Thanks :)

I just realized that mist was a spelling mistake

Oh my god

LMAO its all good 🫂

We all have our moments

[main fulcrum]

I was super tired at that time guys forgive me

[wary lagoon]

[coarse lintel]

Does anyone have any Xbox tips how to play strike Hawks better on an Xbox

[topaz canyon]

platform doesnt really matter

the sme tips apply

[wary lagoon]

so im not sure whats going on but Overhaul can attack out of all of Hawks combos

its not his special. its something with his gamma

[coarse lintel]

Since I was playing with overhaul in the training he seems to do more damage

It felt like he has more combat and he does heal. Himself we all knew that

[late storm]

very fun

[late storm]

think im getting it

[topaz canyon]

VERY CLEAN

w beta reaction on the deku

[late storm]

@winged dawn is your moon gamma tech mainly for alpha movement usage?

cause I thought the height is overrated if not doing double gamma which kinda leaves you out of a good gamma sa boost option if getting chased

but if doing gamma moon jump into alphas then its good

[topaz canyon]

i use it to repostion ad chase

without using speical action

[late storm]

how

with what movement

[topaz canyon]

you can get slitly more momentum with this

do you want me to clip how i do it tmr?

i always input a super jump then tap gamma

i basically almost touch the skybox at insane speed

then i just alpha after and i keep momentum

ok touch the skybox is an exxageration but you get what i mean

[late storm]

idk what you mean by super jump

and if you mean what you said then that would be more than slightly what I showed in my clip above

so sure show tomorrow

[topaz canyon]

alright

@winged dawn the overhaul guide was really good

[topaz canyon]

@late storm

the second gamma is not needed

just did that to show you what i meany by almost touch the skybox

and the last bit is just me playing around with wall runner lol

i didn't even do it properly

coulda kept going just needed to touch smth for my reloads

[late storm]

gonna test that quickly myself

[topaz canyon]

alright lmet me know if you need anything i'll be on

imma just go grab food rq

[late storm]

should be fine im only testing that one thingh

[topaz canyon]

alright

[late storm]

how do you super jump

nvm just jump and immediately release all movement keys

[topaz canyon]

yes

did you get it?

[late storm]

yeah

its not to the skybox per say

you're still like 1 gamma and 2 whole betas off from reaching that

but its good

[topaz canyon]

yea

[brittle brook]

Need my azz a willpower build

[topaz canyon]

this guy

you be dropping insane number on everyone

[ripe scaffold]

Not everyone

Just rapids

[coarse lintel]

Wow

[ripe scaffold]

Wrong channel my bad

[coarse lintel]

@ripe scaffold It's ok

[ripe scaffold]

Thanks

[topaz canyon]

ohh you main rapids

you just poke and do dmg and keep moving

i see

[ripe scaffold]

And overhaul(both) and aizawa

[ripe scaffold]

I usually don’t play hit and run

[wary lagoon]

Username is a lie 😭

[ripe scaffold]

No it’s not

[wary lagoon]

Someone who is bad has a KD of 0.15 and 500dmg
Your always doing over 6k and more than 6kos a game

I'd say thats pretty good

Give yourself some credit

You've improved a lot over the past year

[hoary rampart]

Any consistent ways to fight a Lady Nagant? I still struggle against her on Strike Hawks and am getting frustrated not being able to do anything

[distant dune]

Literally just need to catch her off guard unfortunately

Unless you can break via alphas your at a disadvantage

[late storm]

I usually try gamma's

and then keep her knocked with alphas once shes on hp

if you hit a gamma on her on hp you can do a beta after so thats good extra dmg

[ripe scaffold]

Did you see my gameplay a year ago?

[green zenith]

if anybody has the quirk assist gear for strike hawks i could lowkey use some help building him, i want kota finder and wallrunner but idk what to put inbetween allat

[winged dawn]

This is the exact build i run and credit for his best (kota finder can easily be swapped in)
Screenshot was before nejire was out so use her instead of ibara
Tech denki can replace shigi if you want more damage but i prefer hp def

[green zenith]

my goat!!!!!!! i appreciate it man

[late storm]

still can't properly control strike hawks in the sky

he feels so awkward to fly around with in final circle

cause you do the alpha tech thing and he's just flying to one side while you're firing alphas at someone and you go off into circle unable to stop or turn yourself

[vivid surge]

I haven't played strike hawks (or hawks in general) for a hot minute but sometimes the zone also just sucks and can put you at a disadvantage no matter what you do. I do hope that you'll figure it out though. But yeah, strike hawks is kinda funky to figure out I'll admit that

[late storm]

brother no

I can control myself just fine in the storm with like any other character

the storm being a circle is a problem for strike hawks when using the alpha tech

that's my problem

the storm being a thing at all is a problem for him

[vivid surge]

I'm not talking in the storm itself, I'm talking where the safe area is. Some locations are better than others in general

[late storm]

I'm in the air though

and not around huge buildings

again this is a problem with his air movement in small circles

and general strafing control

not a map problem

these nagants are shameless

[winged dawn]

Yea, in final zones it can be hard to stay in zone with the speed you have. Just keep in mind that you also have the speed to leave zone faster than essentially anyone else and you often have enough hp to eat a tick or 2 of zone of needed

[winged dawn]

Also btw when doing the gamma tech you can just do another gamma to gain the same hight boost again
Normally this is MAD overkill since the tech once is already bottom to top of UA levels of hight gain but against air camp bugs like this doing gamma again lets you reach them nearly on its own.
You also dont need to do gamma immediately after leaving the wall, just do it before using a directional input

[late storm]

ye realised I coulda done that when going up there

but my thought process was If I could get up there with 1 gamma and 2 betas the second gamma would be better to air stall

and potentially catch her if alphas weren't enough

[vivid surge]

With all due respect, I misunderstood so that's mb but the way you responded to me wasn't the most polite

[late storm]

no worries

[topaz canyon]

yea that's what i did in the clip i sent just to show the amount of height you can gain from the tech

[late storm]

Ridiculous that I chased down a rapid might successfully yesterday

Why does this guy have more 50x mobility than his rapid ver

[wary lagoon]

Because rapid has been over nerfed

[tropic estuary]

Bring back rapid hawks💔

[wary lagoon]

fr i miss s9/s10

[hidden pecan]

They love butchering base characters when they receive a skill set 💔

[cold tide]

Finally tried out wall runner and ye the constant super gamma jumps is mega nice

Idk if I prefer that or acceleration tho, tbh I think I prefer the super jumps

[topaz canyon]

i can't lie i still love accel but i think my accel qfr build suits rapid hawks better this divine and wall runner build is so much better for strike

[cold tide]

Ye that’s the same one I got Wall Runner Divine

But ye Wall runner probably my main stay now, the extra alpha presence is nice but the tech is actually really good, plus helps save resources when going for vertical movement

[bronze bear]

so miserable to play a low hp rapid that isnt mirio

idk why hawks-rapid gets no energy refund if beta is canceled due to stun/cc

[tropic estuary]

Real

[late storm]

Yeah okay I think this guy is stronger than Yafo

in general anyway

Ofc 1v1s it’s very matchup dependent

YAFO SA can carry him against like 10 characters

But strike hawks just has so many high damaging combos that are easy access and can be easily team comboed

My friend just gets free nagant headshots from my beta

[topaz canyon]

https://tenor.com/view/the-goat-gif-4115569673926897153

[late storm]

feel so useless as strike hawks against aam tho

[distant dune]

Only chance is catching him off guard or it’s kaboom

[topaz canyon]

well

aam makes half the cast feel useless

[wary lagoon]

That dumb beta man
Usually can fight him just fine but get hit with that and stunned? Ggz

[late storm]

It’s the height he can gain for me

You need a good ranged to stand a chance

[gusty grove]

What combos do you guys recommend doing on gp?

[winged dawn]

What hawks?

[gusty grove]

Strike

[winged dawn]

Hold alpha, beta, tap gamma/tap alpha
Beta, tap gamma, alpha
Beta, beta, alpha/tap Gamma
Hold gamma, beta (only do if your frame rate is 60 or higher)
Hold gamma, alpha (much more consistent. Use if lower frame rates and if you dont need betas extra dmg)

[gusty grove]

Thanks boss

[bronze bear]

anyone know what the difference is between holding/tapping hawks-strike beta?

[bronze bear]

what about level path?

[winged dawn]

None. Theres basically no reason to ever hold it

[winged dawn]

I do Y7 - B7 - A9
But a few other paths that can work are
Y4 - A9 - B7 - Y7
And
Y4 - B7 - Y7 - A9

[bronze bear]

what is the significance of gamma 7 first?

[winged dawn]

Damage

Lv7 gives a 30 dmg spike total to gamma

[gusty grove]

Only reason to ever really hold it is if your airstalling high up

[wary lagoon]

Holding it allows you to air stall or catch wake ups. If you time it right you can cash and catch them exiting iframes then go into any combo.

[bronze bear]

is it just me or do i keep missing my beta on hawks-strike

any "reccomended" area where I should aim

[bronze bear]

or ill hit the first tick but not the follow-ups

[wary lagoon]

Make the target your end point so if you need to "aim" your beta then predict the direction the target is running. If the body of your target is at the end when hawks slashes forward, 1) it has a bigger hit box, 2) easier to go into a gamma, alpha or melee

If the target is in the middle of the beta you would probably want to do a 2nd beta or alpha. Or melee because it can track to the target then gamma

[hallow lance]

We could bring back prime rapid hawks and he'd lose to the current meta so bad, the devs saw how everyone reacted to hawks and said lets make every character after 10× stronger 🥹

[topaz canyon]

ehh

struggle isn't the word i'd use

he'd still be better than mroe than half the cast right now

[hallow lance]

I said current meta not every character

Gamma maxing on rapid hawks high key goated

[wary lagoon]

3 gamma go brrrr I love my marking man

People forget its an aoe and they can use it for recon lol

[hallow lance]

Yeah

And its his best combo starter without tech

[bleak flume]

I'm so happy that people are viewing gamma more now. I've been getting gamma 9 for a long time. Keep it going birds

[late storm]

You have forgotten rapid hawks

at his prime

he was dealing like 350 damage off 1 beta confirmation at lvl 1

While AAM and Nagant would beat him if they were good he is not to be downplayed

[hallow lance]

And nagant does the same amount in a singular uncacellable shot, rapid hawks can get knocked outta beta at any time. Tech shiggy alpha lingers so long you wouldn't even be able to start beta, and armored might can just use his gamma to escape it

[wary lagoon]

Ive always been a gamma bird

Like his beta and damage was nice but it always felt like a liability

Now it is with how bad its been nerfed

[hallow lance]

I still dont even got rapid hawks, just use the little freebie games

[wary lagoon]

Rapid should be a character ticket next season

[bleak flume]

Should be, yes, but knowing Byking

[wary lagoon]

I say should but who knows if they will do it. We just had a big batch release this season on tickets.

[hallow lance]

Literally the only character I could get with my ticket was tech shoto, I had everyone else already 😭

[wary lagoon]

Dude mine was overhaul lol

Im only missing green Nejire and YAFO. Character tickets are useless

But if they keep adding again then Hawks, Toga, Mic should be next

[hallow lance]

Im missing yellow ochaco, red kendo, tokoyami, suneater, green nejire, rapid hawks, and yafo

[late storm]

Which one was easier to hit

Which one came back quicker

[bleak flume]

I'm missing both Nejire's, YAFO, OFA, Nagant, Tamaki, Red Drive, assault Ochaco, Sting Dance, and Tech Shig. I can get the characters, the quirk sets elude me

[late storm]

This was before tuning btw

Rapid hawks had 4 chances at hitting you with his beta with it taking 25% each time

Then it reset for a full 100% on hit

imagine him with qfr

absolutely disgusting

Nagants SA shot is more deadly in theory yes but it’s not going to be as consistent to the average player as just hitting the beta button near someone

[hallow lance]

Still against the current top 3 they all got ways to just cancel beta, nagant can just beta below her or gamma 500 feet away.

[late storm]

which is why you don’t have nagants headshotting people out the wazoo every lobby

compared to back then everyone and their mother knew how to get the 2nd guaranteed beta after the first on strike hawks

[late storm]

Gamma takes a sec

And btw if we’re using prime hawks

He gets his OG SA

he catches up to her just fine

[hallow lance]

Deadahh forgot about the special action

[late storm]

and baiting out beta shouldn’t be a problem or more like she won’t be able to use it in time

also gets his amazing alpha tracking

stupid character

[wary lagoon]

Gamma on rapid hawks is 9s and beta is 8.5s
You have 3 gamma and 2 beta(only one if you actually hit it)
Reloads have never been buff/nerf. They just suck

The skills are in my opinion the same. One just is more range play and the other is more upclose.

I have no idea why

The devs buffed strike hawks beta and gamma

Before rapid

Because vanilla strike wasnt even bad

The only thing weird about him was his HP being 275😭

[pearl grove]

@outer heart ggs nice game

[outer heart]

Oh you were the Shinso! Nice gg you did great!

[pearl grove]

thanks

[outer heart]

😁 👍

[coarse lintel]

@pearl grove good job

[distant dune]

WE WON

WE WERENT FORGOTTEN ABOUT

[wary lagoon]

Im still bitter that its just +10 on beta
When he needs so much work 😭 it feels like a slap on the face man

[distant dune]

Its better than a nerf byking love giving us isnt it

We gotta be grateful or we get gutted again

[wary lagoon]

Thats true

I'd just love a reload buff for him 😭

[wary lagoon]

Nerf to qfr feels like a nerf to hawks 😭

[distant dune]

Ive been begging for this

[distant dune]

I mean

I don't personally use it

But its a nerf to everyone in that context

Id rather that than nagant or aam being a mini gun

[wary lagoon]

Its just crazy in the list of buffs ive given them for hawks. Beta damage was the one thing I didnt cover and it was all they buffed 😭

[distant dune]

Remember this isnt a new seasons buffs

Give it time pookie

[wary lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/hawks-mha-my-hero-academia-rain-rainy-gif-1177240278051984631

Im trying

I miss rapid so much

[tropic estuary]

WE ARE SO BACK!!!

[distant dune]

Keep playing him

[tropic estuary]

We ain't forgotten after all
