Switch to eager edge sword, heavy attack, jump, then well/shatter
Should I be holding W at all times? any tips if not macroing

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

No need

#

Some people feel more comfortable holding it down, but you don't need it in any part of the skate.

#

Ive managed it a few times now but it feels kinda inconsistent

#

so Im thinking, 1) should I be standing right on the edge? 2) should I wait briefly after switching to sword before executing?

#

cause sometimes I just whiff over the edge and barely move, other times I heavy attack but then well/dive to the ground

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:53 PM

#

you have to eager off some form of an edge.
as long as you begin the combo whole eager is active, you're good

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

burnt brook cause sometimes I just whiff over the edge and barely move, other times I heavy ...

This is a timing issue.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

will practice Praydge

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:54 PM

#

Actually, if you just whiff off you might he going to late after eager wears off.

#

managed to skate off my own duskfield crystal so thats a start ye

#

just bit wonky lol

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

If you're well/diving after heavy swing, you're executing too late.

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

Yea, you can skate of any rise.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

unborn sundial If you're well/diving after heavy swing, you're executing too late.

thx I'll just practice more

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:55 PM

#

As long as the ground you're heavy attacking over isn't level or above where you started, you can skate.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

so bascially 90 degree angles?

#

or off stasis crystals

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

Best pace to practice is in a private mayhem match.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

ye thats the one I was trying

#

skated off the map and died lol

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

Off anything, as long as it's a decline/ledge.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

can I not give myself infinite heavy ammo?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

I wish

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:56 PM

#

cause walking to the dispenser :/

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:57 PM

#

You gotta run around and get it.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:57 PM

#

ahh rip

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:57 PM

#

burnt brook so bascially 90 degree angles?

Doesn't have to be 90 deg

#

Just had to be below level of wear you start

#

Strand skate for example (as hunter) requires a slope, as a ledge won't work.

#

This is due to the back flip animation.

#

Shatter and we'll skate isn't as limited.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

how does strand skating work?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

Everyone says "ledge", but you can skate off anything that's at or above level

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

so I can technically skate off of hills?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 3:59 PM

#

Strand skating requires different timing of inputs. For example, shatter is jump + x.

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

burnt brook so I can technically skate off of hills?

Yes, cause it acts the same as a ledge.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

nice

#

I had a look at ground skating but that seems even harder

#

lots of inputs? hmm

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

As long as you're not in the ground during your heavy

#

Strand skating input is opposite of shatter. You'll want to x + jump

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

block jumping attacking seems tight on timing for ground skating

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:01 PM

sorry what is X binding?

#

on PC

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:01 PM

#

Uhh, the dive.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

oh I have it mapped to something else lol

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

I'm on pc

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

I have dive mapped to Q and finisher to X lol

#

maybe I should switch it around

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

Eww, so you moved grenade too?

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:02 PM

#

ye grenade default is G right? 🤣

#

too far for me to reach lol, awkward

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

No, default is q

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:03 PM

#

hold up xD

#

wait

#

~~actually no grenade is still Q for me~~

#

but dive works on my Q for me

#

eh?

#

wait sorry ignore that

#

I just remembered my grenade mapping is "C"

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

Am. I buggin?

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:04 PM

#

no you're right I think

#

so what Im doing when attemping to shatter skate is, swap to eager, heavy, jump, and Q (dive)

#

might rebind dive to "C" perhaps

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:05 PM

#

That's the combo , yes.

#

Sounds like you just moved all the abilities around the same buttons though

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

yea because I felt like I was pressing some buttons more often than others, so I moved everything around

#

what was the default for finisher?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:06 PM

#

Uhhh G?

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

I have that binded to X lol

#

G nothing binded rn

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Yea, X is the default dive

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

is super still F?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

Yea

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

same

#

but I have melee binded to scroll wheel and charged melee to MB4

#

it works ig

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

Ah ok. That's where that went.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

does mapping things to scroll wheel make movement tech easier?

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

Suppose that's up to you. I do think jump + Q requires a bit more practice than jump + X though simply due to placement

#

But you're just rolling a different finger, so I guess it's the same.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:10 PM

#

ye so Im pressing jump with thumb and Q with ring finger

#

otherwise if I had shatter to X that would be jump with thumb and x with pointer finger

unborn sundial Mar 30, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

Make sure you're pressing jump before Q

#

It's a fast roll, not at the exact same time.

burnt brook Mar 30, 2023, 4:11 PM

#

ye managed a few times, just down to muscle memory now

#

or could macro it

#

is it allowed?
