MadMattPrime Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Umbra's AI needs a tweak badly. Whenever Exalted Blade is activate and you switch out to operator and switch back in, exalted blade is switched off and the combo meter built up by it gets YEETED into oblivion. I propose that when exalted blade is active and we switch to operator, umbra continues using Exalted blade until it runs out of energy or have an option to switch off umbra's AI through the option menu or arsenal. Its on exactly easy to build up combo meter with umbra because exalted blade's waves do not count towards the combo meter. Regular Excalibur doesn't have this problem and well Excalibur Prime isn't available anymore and umbra is the closest thing to a prime that non-backers have.

Uhkretor Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Umbra's Exalted Blade being disabled when switching to Operator exists to avoid exploits of activating Exalted Blade and while the player permanently stays as an Operator. ... Yes, its an exploit because Specters, Umbra, Stalker and Acolytes have no energy to begin with and abilities cost no energy for those units... Why do they use other abilities then? Because they're not toggled abilities... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the first option is not viable then the second option is a possible solution. I know some like Umbra's gimmick of having AI/sentience. Having an option to switch this on and off through a menu or arsenal would fix the Yeeting combo meter and those who hate the gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxcelZ3r0 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 It does? I thought that would of also been changed when Melee 3.0(~) changed it so it only affected Heavy Attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
