NIkana attacks are awfully stiff

[Rixuel]

After the melee rework, all stances of the Nikana looks stiff and slow.

Even with Berserk + Primed Fury on it, it's slow.

When moving and attacking, it feels like your movement speed is reduced because everytime you hit, it makes you brakes a little and that's annoying.

You can blame that on the ArchMelee magnetism fix, since its directly interfering with your Melee.

 

But hey, if you take out all the attack speed junk that you have on it, I guarantee that those "breaks" will magically go away.

not sure what your talking about nikanas are fairly quick to strike , blind justice has the fastest strike , then decisive then tranquil but all of them do different styles and attack patterns

"slow", right? But at least we're not hitting an enemy at 1600 or 3200 hits per mute, on the same enemy, for example, when we can simply cut that enemy with a single hit.

 

But that's not the point here... Want those "breaks" to go away? take out the attack speed mods and try again.

Nah, perfectly fine.

I think the OP is talking about how nikana stances lock the player's directional movement? Less the actual attack animations. And in that sense, a lot of stances feel pretty stiff, and have felt so for a good while.

Ok, I retried with Blind Justice without speed mods. It's great.

So it's the Decisive and Tranquil stances that kinda suck.

With Decisive and Tranquil, I always have these brake feeling when attacking and moving to any direction.
