Melee 2.0 And Melee-Related Abilities

[MaverickZero]

Hi, this may seem too long of a post for some so:

 

TL;DR: Are all the melee-related abilities of warframes going to be adjusted for Melee 2.0? if so are they getting revamped or completely replaced?

I need information. There are no objections here.

 

Long version:

 

I have a Volt that I strictly use for melee (Speed induced) and I have invested a lot in my melee loadout. I use him to solo run T2 and T3 survival mission to the 30 minute mark. I only depend on Speed so my build is very focused and I can 1 hit most of the way to 30. After 30 minutes I start 2-hitting smaller mobs and 5 hitting the heavies but this increase becomes exponential as I reach 40 min. At 40 min I need 6 hits for smaller targets and 15-18 for bigger ones. So at about 40 minutes my loadout becomes inefficient. It depended on my Volt and the melee weapon. I know the melee weapons are getting changed but what about my Volt? am I going to be able to do the same thing after Melee 2.0? also would it make it possible to go above 40 minutes in survival?

 

My guess is that Volt's Speed will have to be changed the same as Valkyr's Hysteria. I don't think it would work well in Melee 2.0 in their current state. That's just a guess.

There is a video of some melee 2.0 code that got leaked and showed valkyr just destroying everyone. It looked way more satisfying to use.

i would say everything will get more skill based on the chain combo bonus. if your good handling the speed of volt and the melee you will be more op than ever.

 

melee 2.0 with volt is the best with that intense element  :D

I really hope so. Volt isn't that great outside of melee, at least for me.

If what I'm hoping happens, happens; Then not only will your Volt's speed still allow this, but it will make it easier when melee 2.0 hits.

 

As leaked in the latest livestreams, Melee 2.0 will consist of a timing based attack system. So to unleash "Combo Chain A", a player might press, press, and hold the melee button to activate said combo. So as Volt, not only will you be able to push through the quick attacks faster, you will probably be able to recover out of the animations faster as well. Who knows, but if everything works together how I want it, Volt just might sit right up there with Valkyr in terms of melee champions.

Use Valkyr's Paralysis and a melee prompt will appear, allowing you to use Melee 2.0 executions.

Wait and see. DE isnt giving us much info about M2.0, so we can only wait.
