can you skate with the new sword

[charred scarab]

title

[limber gust]

test it out

[south kestrel]

Which sword

[atomic coyote]

yes you can

but its not as good as crafted eager edge

[ivory prawn]

heavy will send you farther but light attacks are still better on OH

[atomic coyote]

even without enhanced eager edge?

[queen pumice]

So its better for skating and worse for regular swings?

[atomic coyote]

so overall otherhalf will prolly still be the movement sword

btw, you can skate with any sword, but if it doesnt have any lunge distance increase you just go very slow

[charred scarab]

Didnt realise its not out yet so we will see :p

[ivory prawn]

Yea

[ivory prawn]

People did testing with vortex frames and eager during the craftening stuff

[ivory prawn]

Depending on what class you're on yea

[atomic coyote]

only titans cant

[charred scarab]

Good to know, are inputs the same iswell?

[atomic coyote]

yeah

[ivory prawn]

Yea, I've also heard it should be more forgiving given how much longer the heavy animation for vortex frames are

[mellow crystal]

They used to be able to skate but bungie doesn't like fun 😕

[atomic coyote]

titans can do other stuff though

[ivory prawn]

Like what 💀

[atomic coyote]

punch stuff really hard

[ivory prawn]

Lions counts ig but thats slow as hell

[mellow crystal]

arc hunter liar's handshake mains 👀

[atomic coyote]

doesnt even come close to titan punching

also you would need to be on hunter, so cringe

[ivory prawn]

That does not compare to Titans 💀

[ivory prawn]

There's nothing wrong with playing hunter

[mellow crystal]

I know lmao imagine being able to punch someone and not die while regenerating health

[ivory prawn]

Titans do the same thing

[mellow crystal]

If you die punching as titan that's a skill issue jk

[mellow crystal]

True I just find it funny that bungie decided that the other two classes skating were fine but the moment titans get it its like dam we gotta patch this out

[queen pumice]

technically titans can still skate
the problem is your super gets used, so its a one time thing

also the timing is alot more precise than well/shatterskating

[mellow crystal]

Interesting I didn't know it was still possible

[queen pumice]

yea you can actually skate on most subclasses
hammer of sol, bubble, striker, stasis titan, dawnblade, stormtrance... the list goes on
basically any roaming super can be skated with, its just that the super gets used
