I've hit airdash parry in a real game

ivory reef
#

I can't help but feel like that's a statement only a non fighting game player would say

stable forum
#

but I haven't hit it on reaction, and I've not hit it consistently.

ivory reef
#

dauntless, you put it on top of your mental stack

#

you see a guy dash up in laning stage to your creep with 1 hit point

#

what's he gonna do

stable forum
#

I've only hit it on prediction >.>

ivory reef
#

I have like 5 seconds to prepare

#

and then i hear the sound, well, duh

stable forum
#

no i'm talking

#

full reaction

ivory reef
#

yes that is a reaction

#

I do wait for the sound

stable forum
#

hear the sound behind you to your right, react immediately.

ivory reef
#

yeah

stable forum
#

not 'oh I see it coming, I know it's here'

magic summit
#

How do you normally parry

stable forum
#

on the ground

ivory reef
#

I parried like 5 times in laning yesterday and won the game off of it

#

it was wild they kept trying me

stable forum
#

though I'm doing airdash parry normally now.

#

I generally don't reaction airdash parry directly into someone to punish them for even thinking about heavy melee in my vicinity though

ivory reef
#

dauntless, like, I'm not gonna airdash parry while cooking biryani like if i get into a deadlock stack i load a set of expectations and reflexes into my brain I dunno what to say

median lantern
#

What is airdash parry i am very new to deadlock?

ivory reef
#

I'm not sure what this 'full reaction' thing even means

magic summit
#

I play pocket I spend half my game in the air, you gotta learn how to move aren't parrying while doing that

ivory reef
#

@median lantern jump, airdash, parry

#

that's it

warped ridge
quaint kernel
#

Like idk

ivory reef
#

it's like 3 buttons it's easier than dash jumping

median lantern
#

Oh to like get in front of something and block it?

ivory reef
#

yeah

quaint kernel
#

Taking away fun is not fun to me

ivory reef
#

that's it

#

like you can do it with like 20 seconds of practice

median lantern
#

šŸ™‚ā€ā†•ļø

#

I understand now

quaint kernel
#

It's like IAD in strive

rich grove
quaint kernel
#

Baiken can do it

ivory reef
#

I genuinely took more time picking up the dash jump timing

rich grove
#

c.f.

ivory reef
#

and yeah I am a strive player

stable forum
ivory reef
#

we've been doing instant air dashes for years

stable forum
#

not as a read, not with preparation time

ivory reef
#

dauntless this is like, this is a fighting game thing

#

it's so weird that you're just not believing me

#

we even have a name for it

quaint kernel
ivory reef
#

they're IADs

#

yeah

#

like this is a thing we've been doing for years now?

stable forum
#

.>

ivory reef
#

before deadlock even?

stable forum
warped ridge
#

It's a practice thing.

Like a vindicta with her ult who is a counter strike or siege player should be able to kill you from across the map if you're low.

It's just a bo--.....

Does....does Vindicta ult get Headshot bonus too? headempty

ivory reef
#

dauntless, that was me pointing out that like. in literally every game context you go in and you load some reflexes

bleak thicket
#

youll really need to clarify what do you mean by "on reaction"
like
how short of a timeframe do you want?

ivory reef
#

i'm not gonna try to blink dagger in deadlock

#

the heavy melee is super reactable

rich grove
#

if I've done it successfully it can't be so bad :v)

stable forum
ivory reef
#

yeah the hitbox is huge

bleak thicket
#

yeah thats super doable

ivory reef
#

you can miss and still get it by accident

quaint kernel
#

If they fake it out that's a great play on their part too

stable forum
#

the sorta stuff which obliterates anyone from holding q

ivory reef
#

if you find jumping hard, try grounded dash cancel parry

#

that's dash -> tap crouch -> parry

stable forum
#

.>

magic summit
#

Like a very common thing is your friend gets parried in lane, and you see them about to get heavy meleed, and you jump parry in front of them

ivory reef
#

again, 3 buttons

warped ridge
stable forum
#

idk

ivory reef
#

no? they do?

#

like they can flick their direction at the last moment

#

that's how you fake a heavy melee

stable forum
#

no, they don't, because if you do it right your hitbox is inside their hitbox!

merry verge
#

I'm torn because I find Riven's whole deal kind of pointless but IAD parry is totally a thing

ivory reef
#

they start the heavy melee, you react, they flick away

finite patrol
#

this is so semantic

stable forum
#

apologies

#

it absolutely is.

warped ridge
#

They just have to know how to flick.

And tbh I know some people can't flick but it's another skill.

vivid nimbus
#

I think Dauntless is talking about if you IAD parry into them they can't flick because you're too close at any aim angle

stable forum
#

yes

ivory reef
#

??? why would you even want to do that?

quaint kernel
#

Tho combos are reactions are not the same skill but it's still like, execution is fun

stable forum
#

not just iad parry, IAD parry into the opponent

stable forum
vivid nimbus
median lantern
#

Wait am I getting pranked by AI search? Is the deadlock parry window really .75 seconds long?

ivory reef
#

wait. what is the context here.

#

yes it's HUGE cy

finite patrol
#

also because when you do it everyone shouts out YOOOOOO

ivory reef
#

are we talking about laning?

ivory reef
#

sorry

#

like

median lantern
#

I’ll bear that in mind

ivory reef
#

i'm assuming i'm like 2 dashes away from my opponent

#

so I can't even reach them

stable forum
#

'hear sound -> execute thing' was the original context

#

it's sort of gotten out of hand now >.>

ivory reef
#

... yeah. which you can do

quaint kernel
#

The convo started cause someone was saying that Riven is jank because of her combos, and I said that Combos are really fun and can be included

ivory reef
#

without dashing into somebody's hitbox

rich grove
#

i do it blind and around corners

median lantern
#

This originally came up in the context of execution barriers comparable to LoL I think

quaint kernel
#

And that devolved into an execution thing

median lantern
#

So it’s been in the abstract

stable forum
#

I was mostly just... curious if people were successfully doing the thing I have down as 'execution heavy with deadlocks mental stack' and the answer is sort of

#

the answer is 'yes, but without the directional component' I think? idk.

merry verge
#

I'm real good at dashing to the slight wrong angle and accomplishing nothing

ivory reef
#

no, we dash into the creep

merry verge
#

But I do try for it

ivory reef
#

or dash into our friend who's gonna get heavy melee-ed

stable forum
ivory reef
#

that's the usual use case

#

like as a rule they're not gonna walk up to me and heavy melee... me?

#

that's just kinda dumb?

stable forum
#

some people do!

ivory reef
#

they're gonna first abrams wall slam me or go for a creep

#

okay, well, at my mmr they don't

stable forum
#

but yes, it is kinda dumb.

ivory reef
#

and if someone abrams wall slams your friend

#

you can airdash into both of them and parry

#

and yeah

#

i've done that

vast sandal
#

What can you parry

ivory reef
#

any heavy melee

gray otter
#

ok im making an OC and this is what i have for the first ability. does it make sense, and is it distinct enough from celeste's 2

upbeat perch
#

melees by default

merry verge
#

and Puddle Punch

ivory reef
#

abrams will heavy melee after a wall slam every time

bleak thicket
#

including ability heavy melees

vast sandal
#

Ahh

finite patrol
merry verge
#

I thought you can't parry Bashdown

ivory reef
#

the only ability you can parry is puddle punch

stable forum
granite heath
#

melee attacks in general? but not melee spells (except puddle)

warped ridge
#

There's a like....lot of people that do.

I get them in my matches.

But I admit MMR ranks are weird, cause I'm Oracle I and people were trying to mash parry out of my Silver 2 when I'm by myself.

And I really don't believe I'm even above Seeker

stable forum
#

yeah, it's just melee & puddle i think

rich grove
vast sandal
warped ridge
rich grove
#

yeah

ivory reef
#

it's essentially a remote heavy melee using his hand

vast sandal
#

Wack, does it stun him too

rich grove
#

it was patched in a long while ago and now exists as The exception

ivory reef
#

it's very interesting in that way

rich grove
#

no stun

ivory reef
#

no, it doesn't. but good question

rich grove
#

but it does inflict rebuttal damage

ivory reef
#

yeah

stable forum
#

that's very funny

rich grove
#

which is excellent tech if you're laning against him and Like That

stable forum
#

i hope someone has killed viscous with that.

finite patrol
#

I have haha

rich grove
#

melee goopert is current tech now also so there's that

stable forum
#

amazing

finite patrol

its hilarious

vast sandal
#

Okay so buy rebuttal against Viscous is what I’m hearing

rich grove
#

are you Like That

vast sandal
#

I got celestial twice in GGST

#

I am built like that

rich grove
#

"it's blockable on reaction." "but can you react" and then kakyoin cries

#

that's me

granite heath
#

does it give you the Rebuttal heal too?

rich grove
#

believe so

merry verge
#

Puddle Punch is reactable because they decided it should be the loudest noise in the world

rich grove
#

I think it just generically Procs Rebuttal

upbeat perch
#

i have to rein in my impulse to reference sex with a man when thresh asked about "like that"

vast sandal
#

Actually I can react to that, I can still pick up counterhit 2LP combos on Ed

Heavy melee should set up into a 12 hit juggle that ends in CA

hitting airborn people with heavy melee hard

warped ridge

Wait do people not do that already?

rich grove

billy just dropped down and heavy meleed a warden player running away

#

and then just backed off

warped ridge
#

I just do it as Drifter when I have lifestrike

ivory reef

Real talk I'm so so happy deadlock has a melee rps system it truly elevates the game for me in a way no other hero shooter can compare

#

Like damn

#

I'm never going back

median lantern
ivory reef
#

It's so fucking good actually

rich grove
#

imagine getting clubbed over the skull with a baseball bat and having the "mustve been the wind" reaction I nearly cried laughing

stable forum
#

it's a funny system even if i think it's optimal to just not melee

upbeat perch
#

that's the biggest motivator for me to keep tabs on deadlock

bleak thicket

ping so high i have to triangulate their position

ivory reef

My biggest issue with deadlock melee is that the window to light melee actually feels so tight to me

you THOUGHT

It’s only a matter of time til we get a Time Killer in this game

vivid nimbus

Whenever I get heavy by mistake and get parried I feel like a dang fool

hey whose M1 is closest to a semiauto rifle in deadlock right now?

Seven or weirdly Silver

Good luck getting that timing down

It might just be the side button I use is sticky, IDK

Semiauto as in burst fire or semiauto as in repeater

Silver then yeah

ivory reef

I don't know anyone else who's struggled with it but I can see it

vivid nimbus

Like I usually get light, but sometimes

ivory reef

What's your melee button?

warped ridge

Aha no yeah check the button

autumn field
stable forum

.9 second cycle time

though technically still automatic

ivory reef

Because a good clicky mouse button is ideal

#

I use m5

stable forum
#

(all guns in deadlock continuously fire if you hold down lmb)

#

silver's is slow and chunky though

vast sandal
vivid nimbus

It might also just be a me issue with how I hold the mouse

I love Valve for including things like 5 bonus Vampire Damage

Like Silver wolfmode m1, does that do headshot damage?

Isn’t it just weapon damage which does headshots?

it would be good and fun for laning

Further followup question: even if Werewolf Silver doesn't deal headshot damage, can it headshot?
I believe I've figured out that Paige, despite not dealing bonus headshot damage regularly, can proc headshot items, so there is a distinction (unlike Graves, who can't).

median lantern

I might play both

The game I am actually ditching is AC shadows since I need to remove its huge ass install footprint to fit deadlock

there are no items that give cast speed in deadlock atm right?

It’s just that there’s cool stuff to get (gold rarity) and on the way to that you get like a dozen lower rarity trash items

And there was no mass breakdown at first haha

i feel like people just aren't used to playing around lich ult

like raven for instance (hero labs character), huge complaints came in for his ult which was effectively medusas ult (if your character is facing her you get a stacking debuff that eventually turns you to stone and some other stuff yadda yadda)

mild flume
#

I think potentially debuff remover might be quite important later against Celeste for the escalating exposure stacks

vestal trench
#

I get the idea of the ult its like an ffxiv raid boss mechanic run away with the orb so it doesnt kill everyone but but it feels a little more complicated from a fps perspective

quiet sapphire
#

raven had one that would i think slow fire rate and eventually curse you if you looked at him?

quaint kernel
quiet sapphire
#

so both basically had an ult that was "don't look at me"

mild flume
#

I think it's quite hard but people will learn it

quiet sapphire
#

so you know just turn around

quaint kernel
#

Might be a team game thing too since I mostly solo queue and can't control people not running at Victor too

quiet sapphire
#

thing is in dota, even if you were facing the other way you could still see what the hell was going on

median lantern
quaint kernel
#

Yeah

warped ridge
#

Like I've had to stop myself

quiet sapphire
#

in deadlock? you can't face him, you can't see the teamfight, you have absolutely no clue what is happening

#

so they scrapped him

warped ridge
#

Cause in other games I'm like

somber creek
#

I do think the big problem with Celeste is she demands a very specific distance where you have to be grouped but around the entire lane

mild flume
#

Yeah against some fat characters just gotta avoid them and play the map

quiet sapphire
#

and chucked him into the pit alongside slork

warped ridge
#

"Yeah we can go into this 2v2"

median lantern
#

And ā€œenemy with carry potential gets bigā€ is just almost always gonna be a struggle session to not lose until the global wealth level erases their lead

vast sandal
#

If Victor is swole as fuck the best thing you can do is just go stab his teammates tbh

warped ridge
#

But this game has reignited a lot of my smite brain and going, "we totally could do this 2v2 and win, but does my teammate believe that?"

vast sandal
#

To kill the king, bring down his horse

mild flume
#

The comeback mechanics are strong so if you can avoid them in time you will catch up

median lantern
#

The universal advice is to get as much money as you’re allowed and bleed out slowly as a team

vast sandal
#

Funke put it well when he said your aim when behind is to find stability

quaint kernel
mild flume
vast sandal
#

Do your chores, get the ball rolling on money, buy survival and counter build the worst offenders

merry verge
#

Running away from his speed-boosted debuff cleansing self orz

quaint kernel
#

I know there was a bit about complaining earlier, not trying to road rage post too just trying to understand what I did wrong in the moment haha

vast sandal
#

Run the damn urn

mild flume
#

It's more we want to avoid venting basically

warped ridge
#

Yeh I getcha

vast sandal
#

If you lose lane, get paid and start undermining their lead

mild flume
#

I mean I have an alternative approach I recommend too, and that's like try the char and see what causes you problems

warped ridge
#

It's why I'm trying to be more proactive at saying certain stuff and prevent a thread highjack but a smaller thing

#

Like uhh

warped ridge
#

Cause I was talking about feeling like clutch plays were missing and how I havent quite had any yet headempty

median lantern
#

I just can’t give very good advice because while I’m a long time moba player I’m very much getting my footing in deadlock lol

mild flume
#

Easiest character for clutch plays is dynamo

vast sandal
#

LET ME OUT

mild flume

If that's your jam

vast sandal
#

LET ME OUT OF THIS DAMN SINGULARITY

still swan

No

:3

warped ridge
median lantern
#

Are there any particular ā€œplay this if you’re newā€ characters or do I just pick by who looks cool and learn the rest?

gray otter

hmmm i want landing on a flower with the leap ability to do something extra but idk what

finite patrol

mild flume
gray otter
warped ridge
#

But idk if her wall blocks like

#

Ven shots

median lantern
#

Cool

mild flume
#

Paradox def can clutch things out

finite patrol
#

if youre a headshot fiend I recommend warden

median lantern
#

Way back when I was learning LoL I just picked Kayle cause she looked sort of cool and learned from that haha

finite patrol
#

he's straightforward and his headshots are JUICY

mossy lance
#

jump into what you find interesting for even the smallest reasons

#

and drive like you stole it

warped ridge
mossy lance
#

if you crash you crash

still swan
#

Warden needs a new model though

median lantern
#

Yeah I think the hard part for me will be learning the team comps

finite patrol
#

Yeah

vast sandal
#

Give that man a Fullmetal Alchemist coat RIGHT NOW

median lantern
#

Since it sounds very Dota-y and I play LoL

#

What the fuck is an offlane

vast sandal
#

There is no offlane

#

We don’t even have pick numbers here

mild flume
#

Like there are dota heroes id recc against starting with, but I think deadlock is a bit easier or more flexable that way

mossy lance
median lantern
#

It also looks like there’s a lot of lane swaps and zipline riding?

#

I’m not sure

warped ridge
#

Do you have it?

mild flume
#

I don't think deadlock has nearly the intricate team comps and positions of dota it's a lot more chill

mossy lance
#

my brain is just woefully bad at keeping track of what items even exist, nevermind what are useful, and that really hamstrings me

mild flume
#

At least so far

median lantern
vast sandal
mossy lance
#

its why i chafed a lot with LoL and DOTA and loved HoTS

somber creek
#

Hard to build team comps when you cant decide who is on your team

rich grove
#

the card game player: i dont have any problem remembering six hundred thousand pointless little objects

quiet sapphire
#

dota is ancient by game standards

median lantern
quiet sapphire
#

the playerbase has had a lot of time figuring stuff out

warped ridge
vast sandal
#

If you ^^prio the character you want you’ll be alright

warped ridge
#

Is this the one?

#

@median lantern

rich grove
#

well that gets you your guy but that does not guarantee you avoid four carries and then a sinclair comps

quiet sapphire
#

leif is good

warped ridge
#

For the movement stuff

mild flume
#

Yeah it's new and I think it's just as a game a bit less specific than dota in this way

mossy lance
# vast sandal This is what your build screen is for tbh

honestly even that isn't as helpful as i'd like, but that is fully a "skill issue" on my part because what happens is i go "ah yes, build" and then get to shop and go oh god oh fuck and click things without understanding anyway

warped ridge
#

I can't remember if this is the goto one that Winged always posts headempty

mossy lance
#

which is more the problem

bleak thicket
#

god what a shitshow of a lane lol
still won game rooEZ1

mossy lance
#

i'm not actually learning anything

quiet sapphire
#

just make sure you're watching the latest videos

mossy lance
#

because i am in fight or flight mode

rich grove
quiet sapphire
#

i need my skill expression

warped ridge
mossy lance
#

so i'm trying to actually memorize some things and when it's good

vast sandal
quiet sapphire
#

i didn't mentally train myself to count the passing of every minute for no reason

mild flume
bleak thicket
#

the venator had a like
15k soul lead 15 minutes into the game

#

and he pissed it all away

quiet sapphire
#

many such cases

vast sandal
#

But also

median lantern
mossy lance
vast sandal
#

You can queue the items you need while you’re on the zip

mild flume
mossy lance
#

i was reading the item pages like. top bottom, left right. so i abslutely 100% was missing out on like, the tier 2 items

#

lmao

median lantern
quiet sapphire
mild flume
#

Yes

astral lava
#

maximum Easy-to-Win rating goes to Geist imo

quiet sapphire
#

like i do it when i can on other characters

autumn field
#

I don’t know why but Vendator mains somehow always go super ahead early mid

rich grove
quiet sapphire
#

but DAMN

autumn field
#

But then die off at like late

mossy lance
quiet sapphire
#

sinners cost a shit ton of health

rich grove
astral lava
#

one billion gun damage on a bulky caster

quiet sapphire
#

so being able to yoink it for, basically free is huge

bleak thicket
#

im always so stressed on rem
cause i steal like 4 sinners and suddenly im just the littlest creature carrying a 1.2k bag

mild flume
#

Im 100% serious if you have that skill terrorize people as rem

quiet sapphire
#

1000%

vast sandal
rich grove
#

well also he's a pure m1 in a game with plated armor

quiet sapphire
#

metal skin hurts him

rich grove
#

yeah

quiet sapphire
#

disarm sucks

rich grove
#

just a lot of options to stare blankly at him

vast sandal
#

It doesn’t help that if Venator gets ahead he’s only ahead until the enemy team buys the Venator Pls Go items

quiet sapphire
#

i think he's still solid

rich grove
#

he firmly has an expiry date on his scaling

#

I mean haze also does

#

for similar reasons

#

but I still like haze

quiet sapphire
#

pure damage is never going to be not good

#

and that execute? heavenly

#

bye bye ulting mina

#

2x headshot

autumn field
#

I think my graves build is designed to murderize victors

rich grove
#

it's so funny that the exec threshold is like. 8%

quiet sapphire
#

welcome back ancient apparition

vast sandal
#

Is it weird that Celeste doesn’t get owned as hard as other pure one damage type carries

rich grove
#

like are you really execing them

autumn field
#

Because part of my core is lots of antiheals

mossy lance
rich grove
#

the most potent anti spirit stuff like spellbreaker is pretty bad against her

mossy lance
#

i'm glad i'm not the only one to have chuckled at that tbh

astral lava
#

can plated armor block the execute pf ven ult. Could be funny

rich grove
#

she has a gorillion ways to pop the metaphorical linkens

autumn field
#

I love how Celeste can drop like, 600000 3s per second

rich grove
#

we don't have a BKB equiv the way we do in metal skin/plated either

vast sandal
#

Tbh the execute is just to make sure that Ira Domini works on the bastards what hover at 10% HP all game but can never fully die no

quiet sapphire
#

i feel like her numbers are a bit overtuned but that's it

#

they'll fix her numbers

rich grove
#

she plays at really awkward ranges to huck silence wave

quiet sapphire
#

and she'll be fine

#

i don't think she's fundamentally broken

median lantern
#

Wait I’m a little confused by damage types

rich grove
#

there is ornj and purmpl

median lantern
#

Spirit damage is basically AP? Pure is I’m guessing True

somber creek
#

yup

rich grove
#

yeah pure is true

quiet sapphire
#

yeah

warped ridge
#

Gun, spirit and true

median lantern
#

Orange damage is AD I imagine

rich grove
#

pure is True

warped ridge
#

Err

#

Pure yeah

vast sandal
#

Do Toxic Bullets deal Pure Damage

median lantern
#

Ok nvm I think that was easier than I thought

somber creek
#

There really isn't a good item for anti-dots huh

quiet sapphire
#

no

#

spirit

rich grove
#

yeh toxic is spirit

vast sandal
#

Wow, being a bullet carry kinda sucks

rich grove
#

ehh

quiet sapphire
warped ridge
#

Eh

#

Like

#

It's just standard carry thingsā„¢

rich grove
#

it has side benefits like killing obj

warped ridge
#

Sure they can build metal skin

#

But you just delete objs

median lantern
bleak thicket
warped ridge
#

Yeah what Thresh said

bleak thicket
#

sage jam doing deadlock content

vast sandal
#

I guess if they built metal skin that’s 6400 souls down the drain to make your life ultimately not that much harder

rich grove
#

metal skin is 3.2k

warped ridge
vast sandal
#

Oh, well still

rich grove
#

and it does make your life pretty hard

merry verge
#

metal skin having that short a cooldown is so rough

granite heath
somber creek
#

I forgot Sajam looked like Mr Beast

merry verge
#

but also having to build it is like 'ok fine' so on both ends it's an investment

vast sandal
#

Like is there much you can do once the Metal Skin is in play other than get unstoppable bullets

rich grove
#

it feels awful and it can stop your momentum early if you get jumpscared but there's counter counter play and you can usually tempo them out if you're truly rolling

#

curse is the big one

#

they metal skin and curse strips them

#

useful to punish supreme overconfidence

warped ridge
quiet sapphire
#

curse is goated

granite heath
#

ah, curse is the dispel now.
I saw it was gone from capacitator, good to know it still exists.

quiet sapphire
#

also yes fixation stacks still go through metal skin

vast sandal
#

Like with McGunnis I don’t actually care, if the enemy team all get Metal Skin I did my job and I go eat their Walkers when they’re not looking

quiet sapphire
#

so you do get some incidental spirit damage through metal skin

rich grove
#

fixation still stacks but you do zero damage

#

it's like

quiet sapphire
#

also metal skin is 5 seconds

rich grove
#

150

quiet sapphire
#

just

rich grove
#

for a full thing

quiet sapphire
#

do something else for 5 seconds?

#

shoot one of their teammates?

warped ridge
#

If you're haze you can sleep dagger for 5

quiet sapphire
#

it's not like you get mo and krill ulted when they press their z key

rich grove
#

it's not so notable in a teamfight cause yeah you can generally find one

merry verge
#

sometimes it's like 7.5 seconds

rich grove
#

but uh

#

in any kind of non-6v6 situation it can really quickly become "they can damage you, you can't touch them"

quiet sapphire
#

take a deep breath, you'll be ok.

rich grove
#

and you just die

quiet sapphire
#

this too shall pass

vast sandal
#

But from my perspective I am not in it as McGinnis to kill people

#

I’m here to create a gap between their soul count and ours

warped ridge
#

Yeh I try to bait it out and then re-engage when it's on cd

vast sandal
#

If they spend money on countering my damage I am winning

merry verge
#

Metal Skin in warden jail and just shooting him in the face

quiet sapphire
#

yeah it does slow them down pretty heavily when its up

warped ridge
#

I did that to a silver but then she morbed and killed me.

Was very close to killing silver too sadcowboy

vast sandal
#

If I see another Metal Skin werewolf though I’m going back to Doorman

#

These mutts need to go back in their kennels

rich grove
#

more than anything else doorman has a button that says "go away"

warped ridge
#

Multiple, the cart and the cube dimension

rich grove
#

which is the single most useful thing against a silver if you can't outright nuke her

vast sandal
#

Survive the Baroness and win a free 4v1

rich grove
#

oh I legit just meant cart but yeah sticking most of the duration of her DI in the hotel is pretty hot

vast sandal
#

Your money back if we don’t fucking kill you upon arrival

rich grove
#

cart just shoving her back twenty meters can sometimes be enough

merry verge

Range extender on cart still surprises me with how much it'll do

you can use the 3 also in air and hover before using it

but 3 seems sick

3 damage instances

with 3 dashes

and you can dash before the dmg comes and then once the dmg comes

Next time tho

i see he went to the twink school on how to reload your weapon
