I know some graha fans who'd murder me for sharing that with them

I love G'raha

I have a plushie of him on my desk

I still thought that was hilarious LOL

Random question was Tidus a Final Fantasy character or am I stupid

somber axle

he is yes

Ok cool

Cause when I was talking about Demon's Souls yesterday I remembered the video where someone put his laugh over the Tower Knight theme

18 minutes of pure paranoia later, first For The Emperor 3 achieved! Also only leaves a handful of easy penances left for me to have all Vet Pens done!

#

That is adorable

welcome to the COOL helmet club

Also congrats!

Got tapped once or twice with full toughness, but yeah I was panic firing so much into hordes and like checking behind me every other second lmao

#

You have now acquired more drip you will never use

Basically just have the Marksman Focus and Krak grenade penances, along with doing 27 more missions and I'll have Vet done

Oh wrong lawbringer my bad

Krak one is pretty quick if you play on Auric. Especially during Only Melee, mostly scab.

frank ocean
#

Yeah, the main thing was I didn't know the normal scab enemies also counted so I was mainly saving my Kraks for Crushers/Ogryns and Monsters

God I am so glad I got Overwatch/untouchable done. I was fully expecting to be stuck on it for ages

I use the impaler because I used to watch Cartoonz play FH and his main was LB with the impaler execution and Flying Lys wings

So I also got the Flying Lys wings lmao

mk VI powersword or the MK XIIIg chainsword

tall torrent
somber axle
#

I'd personally go Chainsword but I know most would prefer the Power Sword. XIIIg is just good for horde clear. Power Sword can do horde clear effectively and still chews through Carapace

#

revved up chainsword makes for a good back massage

somber axle
#

Chainswords don't do Crusher killing well

#

Power Sword covers all your bases

which is important because you're never going to be able to run to reach any of them

savage sweep chad

bitter turtle
#

savage sweep on a 13

#

🤔

tall torrent
#

and has an incomplete understanding of veteran's talent tree

#

rending strikes is basically never relevant for plasma

lost cosmos
#

what do u reccomend instead

tall torrent
#

doesn't change chainsword breakpoints either

#

Mk13g chainsword only rly has 2 build options

#

u go either wrath + rampage, or wrath + shred

#

mk13g doesn't have enough cleave to activate rampage on its own most of the time

bitter turtle
#

If you do go 13

#

Do wrath, not savage sweep

#

Savage sweep is for the mk4

#

Also elite+flak/maniac for plasma, not whatever they wrote there

rocky jacinth
#

you can take marksman over rending strikes for that juicy boss damage

tall torrent
#

the guy who wrote that seems clueless about breakpoints in general

#

I wouldn't trust most builds out there

somber axle
#

Target Down and Redirect Fire are good for Plasma

#

I wouldn't take 8 stack on Plasma though

#

Unnecessary

tall torrent
#

u only need redirect fire for plasma

#

and he also took longshot for some reason

somber axle
#

Yeah but I love Target Down for the stam/toughness restore to both myself and the squad as a powerful support tool

#

optional but still terrific

Maulers bodyshots I think

torn moat
#

I always took Manic + Unyielding. Now I'm going to have to rethink my perks for Plasma

somber axle
#

The only reason to prefer one perk over another is if it is helping you hit an important breakpoint. If it isn't, the extra damage is pretty much just fluff

lost cosmos
#

tbh the mark vi is kinda mid

#

even on difficulty 2

lost cosmos
#

it does a lot less damage

#

than my chainsword

umbral scaffold
#

Which of the three combat abilities are the most fitting for an elysian drop trooper? I'm thinking Infiltrate but I'm not sure

somber axle
#

Do you have Power Cycler IV and Brutal Momentum or Sunder on your Power Sword?

lost cosmos
#

i got nothing

#

on either

#

they are both purple tho

#

im lvl 19

somber axle
#

It's a slow weapon but it absolutely empties entire waves with a couple swings here and there

#

Oh ok you're leveling

#

yeah don't worry

bitter turtle
#

Power sword needs pcycler blessing at least to be good

somber axle
#

just play whatever is fun

#

Power Sword doesn't become crazy insane good until later

bitter turtle
#

Don't bother with it until you are lvl 30

somber axle
#

no power cycler Power Sword absolutely is mid

#

I'd probably say low tier

#

not even mid

#

no power cycler and it's just bad

bitter turtle
#

Ya it's pretty bad with only 1 charged swing

tall torrent
#

maniac gives u both flamer 1 bodyshot (with agile)

#

and less talent requirement for dreg rager 1 headshot

#

I think flak gives more for what it's worth

midnight totem
#

If you're level 19

rocky jacinth
#

i feel like ragers aren't a big deal since they get put on the ground from a shot

midnight totem
#

Highly suggest you just get a half decent chainsword

tall torrent
midnight totem
#

Level up, learn melee from there

rocky jacinth
#

yeah

tall torrent
#

but even then flak gives u more than maniac

#

also flak helps in no ammo maelstrom KEKW_ogryn

somber axle
#

chainsword/plasma cover their weaknesses while leveling well

#

Chainsword can't touch Crushers but Plasma melts them

midnight totem
#

Unless you make a specific chainsword build

somber axle
#

yeah but while leveling (especially for a first time Vet with no blessings) it's not an option

midnight totem
#

It's always an option

gilded rock
somber axle

you are at the mercy of whatever you get

somber axle
gilded rock
#

Ah yes, today I will equip my negative 4 dodge limit melee weapon without the only thing that makes it good

somber axle
#

suddenly you could take both BM and Sunder if Power Sword gets 3 charged strikes baseline

gilded rock
#

Maybe it should stay where it is though since it's been such a pain for them to balance forever now

north raptor
#

HELP i must escape my power sword but i cant roll a shovelllll

rocky jacinth
#

it was baseline at launch KEKW_ogryn

#

and power cycler let you swing like 6 times

#

maybe give it a recharging battery with a meter and you hold down the button to get powered swings with no animation

Besides the obvious, are there any other exceptional firearms the Vet can utilize?

Vets can make any firearm exceptional

Even....sigh, shredder pistols

I'm surprised Fully Loaded isn't in the Great category tbh especially after Surv Aura nerfs. Are there any builds that don't benefit from +25% ammo?

I 100% agree with putting Deadshot in Niche. It's one of my fav abilities but it will CRIPPLE people if they use it incorrectly. They need to practice with it and learn how it feels per weapon and have stam curios to offset the drain for some of the higher fire rate weapons too.

I think it's called Chink in their Armour and not Crack in their Armour though but I'd have to check to be sure

tall torrent
#

most, not all

tall torrent
#

if u don't take superiority, chances are u won't take fully loaded

#

and yes the game calls it chink

#

I'm avoiding legal troubles here

somber axle
#

I'm surprised you put Smoke Grenades into Good instead of Niche because that's the one grenade that requires a Vet to do at least a tiny bit of thinking for using it instead of just chucking it at enemies when they're in trouble

I go past Fully Loaded and take Shock Trooper without Superiority Complex on my original Recon build but for funny clown science numbers build forsaking all utility/defense in favour of just raw damage I take Superiority Complex with a Recon too

the tradeoff of running a weapon that is so talent tax heavy

Does this look like it's working to you

tossing at an enemy only disrupts their LoS yeah?

I think it's difficult to justify it alone is all

they'll still shoot in a straight line to where they last saw you

smoke exists entirely for the concealment effect

which needs u to be inside smoke

bitter turtle
hearty panther

it's a buff for you not a debuff on the enemy

somber axle
#

yeah it is better in general to be in the cloud

#

but it should also keep shooters firing in a straight line if a smoke cloud is between you and them

#

if I could spawn enemies that would shoot me in the Psykanium I would test this to verify it

but I'm almost completely certain the cloud acts like an invisible wall

not breaking your leg is usually solid advice

somber axle
#

as it turns out wet floor + socks is fantastic for momentum

#

but terrible for stopping that momentum

spin on one leg

put down other leg to try to stop (because spins ONLY counted if you could land it)

second leg stopped

pretty much all of vet's melee weapons can work, top weapons are, knife, power sword, chainsword, chainaxe, shovel

What about smoke grenades?

I do love chaxe after it got reworked

midnight totem
#

Combat Knife is arguably one of the strongest melee weapons in the game

ocean idol

Was it buffed or what

#

which knife btw

umbral scaffold

combat knife gives you the zoomies

midnight totem

both of them, but mk6 has an edge in horde

#

Rashad

#

Would like to have a word

midnight totem
#

Fine, YES. Rashad combat axe

somber axle

top 3 would be knife, ugly ass looking rashad combat axe, power sword

Smh putting chaxe in that list but not Rashad smh

midnight totem
#

ugly ass looking axe

somber axle
#

knife can kill a Crusher in under a second

#

it has crazy mobility

#

it can do ok horde clear (honestly pretty bad compared to most other melee weapons)

#

knife is really good for cutting down priority targets and moving into position or moving out of position

#

I love knife for the speed to run down alleys and halls while the team is pushing forward

#

I know I can loot plasteel, ammo, stims, etc. and then catch up to the team no problem

something like Power Sword? I'd never divert if a team was hard pushing forward

yes, i just saw same vidoe above, question is what allows it to do so

somber axle
#

Numbers cat is right

#

the only thing I want to add

tall torrent
#

although

#

practically speaking

somber axle
#

you need Desperado from the talent tree

tall torrent
#

it's not as crazy as the video suggests

somber axle
#

depending on the knife you'll also want both melee damage nodes too

tall torrent
#

because knife cannot stagger crusher at all

#

they will get a diagonal slash in

somber axle
#

if you run Mercy Killer you also need to run Serrated Blade

tall torrent
#

which u need to dodge out of

somber axle
#

there's a talent point tax to making Knives 3HKO Crushers

tall torrent
#

so practically speaking it's not that much faster than rashad

somber axle
#

but it's definitely worth it for a melee Vet build imo

ocean idol
#

so was knife buffed?

tall torrent
#

no

ocean idol
#

Because i remember wasting lots of resources on it

knife has always been strong

Or running ahead and dying to a single speshul after aggroing 300 ambient enemies

#

Back when the talent tree got reworked yeah it was REAL bad but now I rarely see shitty knife users

However, knife zealot has better horde clear than knife vet

while the rest get overwhelmed

It's always zealots

i meant zealots, yes

Which u cannot stagger with knife

somber axle
#

you can still strike while dodging too

sleek garden

Like a surprise animation

somber axle
#

just more effort

tall torrent
somber axle
#

anyway TTK is comparable regardless because when you reach that level of speed reducing it by fractions of a second becomes increasingly negligible

tall torrent
#

It’s probably shorter range than crusher’s sweep range

#

Practically speaking knife ttk is not that much faster than Rashad or power sword

ocean idol

Power Sword can literally be built to 1HKO

I don't think Rashad can but I've not been lucky to get one so

First I need to share the weapon because the DPS varies immensely based on blessings, perks and damage stat

It’s actually a total of 27.1% less

Not additive to 30%

My zealot rolled a perfect Rashad about 4 months before I could find one on my vet, it was so frustrating

late hatch
# sullen scarab Best one I've rolled so far

I think the laspistol has pretty bad damage vs maniac so you could argue its good, but it probs wont make the BP for headshotting tox flamers and ragers that much better, so I think you could argue for elite instead

sullen scarab
#

LOL i know that feel

#

yeah maybe

#

there's also this one, but the crit damage hurts

late hatch
#

Or you could meme with the burn and be a boss killer with unyeilding

sullen scarab
#

true lol

#

I might just do that

#

with the ghost/infernus one

#

might as well since it has infernus on it

#

what's the range on Dumdum, 15 meters?

trim steppe
#

I think it's 8 and diminishing up to 30

sullen scarab

damn, still pretty good

back to the roll mines

Yeah it's just a good damage boost at most distances you'll use it

sullen scarab

yeah lol

#

the game keeps giving me +carapace and +groaner damage on my pistols

i have a mk X with flak/maniac ghost/dumdum, but I really don't like using the mk X, the hits on it seem to not register when i hit things

bro that might be the difference between LIFE AND DEATH

i know that feel speckman lol

#

It hurts a bit if you go sniper on the mk10, so you could go ghost and infernus, infernus ticks will often kill things you cant quite finish and with ghost as long as you can hit heads reg you are immune to ranged as laspistol has built in suppresion immunity

sullen scarab
#

true lol

#

I have problems using the mk10 honestly, I don't know why

#

it just doesn't "feel" like I'm hitting things, like there's some ghosting going on

at least in most ppl's opinion

It's the Armory Exchange addon for your browser

they're gonna turn melk into a servitor and find out it doesn't change how he acts at all

sullen scarab

yeah the armor exchange lol

#

yes

#

the pain continues

trim steppe
#

I'm REAALLY hoping they'll give melk a blessing shop that you pay for using diamantine. Like 1k for a T4, etc. Like give us something to do with diamantine AND a way to get blessings that doesn't make you want to stab your eyes out

#

And this is coming from someone with all the blessings already

sullen scarab
#

yeah

frank ocean
#

I'd also take being able to upgrade the ones you have

sullen scarab
#

YES oh my god

#

i have so many weapons with like

frank ocean

So like you give melk 3 guns with Dumdum 2

sullen scarab
#

t2 of a blessing or something

frank ocean
#

And get Dumdum3

#

or whatever

#

I'll even take absurd rates

sinful swallow
#

Just pay diamantine to upgrade it's level

#

So it doesn't lose value if you already have all blessings and you can just upgrade your guns with resources

#

Something like that

#

One time buys and it's done forever is kinda meh

trim steppe
#

Both, you can upgrade if you have the blessing in your library, and you can buy blessings from melk

I hope they let you dump diamantine into sire melk to get him to wear less and less, like how you upgrade gacha game girls and their art/outfit becomes more horny

You'll always waste more plasteel than diamantine, and thus you can never run out of diamantine

Seriously though I don't exactly know what I want on a devils claw or even which model is the best.

sleek garden
#

depends

#

the mk1 with the golden handle has two heavy sweeps

#

its the worst for single target but is efficient at dealing with hordes

#

the next one (i forgot which i'll check shortly) has the same 3 light attacks, but the second heavy in the chain is an overhead

uncut pebble
#

Mk1, 4, and 7.

sleek garden
#

that one is the "balanced" option

#

the last one starts with a heavy overhead then a heavy sweep and has a weird light attack strikedown moveset

#

its the worst at horde clear i think but people tend to like that one the most

#

I like savage sweep and shred

#

shred because the swords all attack really fast

elder fiber
#

mk4 1st heavy is overhead, 2nd is sweep

uncut pebble
#

I'm gonna be real, I do not know where you're getting these movesets from. The mk1 and 7 have the same light moveset and the mk7 opens with a side swinging heavy, not top.

elder fiber

7 is the weird one with heavy sweep into overhead

uncut pebble

I just decided to buy a copy of each to decide which moveset I'm most comfortable with.

sleek garden

like i said i dont know the names of any other than mk1

The mk1 and mk7 have the same light strings, the mk4 is the one that has the parry animation mixed in.

the first thing i said was that i'd find the names later

uncut pebble

Mk1 has sideways only heavies, mk7 starts side > top, mk4 starts top > side.

all i said was one of them had a heavy overhead then sweep, and a weird light attack moveset

Whatever. Moveset is inconsequential. What matters more is blessings and perks.

That's like watching 2 zealouts argue whether the crucis or ironhelm thammers are better.

the other one has a higher powered impact and doesnt cleave and all the lights are strikedowns/heavies are vanguard

they are different

these things do matter

because they do things differently

they're all catachans so they attack fast and have a parry

thats their similarity

one is only good at horde control one does a mix and one leans heavily towards single target

They’re not that much different

uncut pebble

#

okay im in the psykhanium and i think the mk4 is actually the more mixed moveset

i thought it was the heaviest sword

but that might be the mk7

because of the stab overhead chain
