Help With Nikana

[KFCfilmz]

hey guys I just recently got the nikana and its amazing so I decided I wanted to get the stance, tranquil cleave. Well I went to phobos survival and got it from a butcher drop at the 10 minute mark, thinking, damn, im lucky xD. So i maxed and equipped it, and i cannot seem to do the combos correctly ._. there hard for some reason, and im not sure if im doing any right. Can somebody post a video or perhaps pictures of the correct stances? thanks

Best advice I can give is pay attention if it says "hold E" or "pause".

[Toddwjp]

also the timing is very short you can mash e while holding right mouse and it should do the final.

E E WAIT E E E E, with the wait being until the end of the second swing. Try to time the next action near the end of the last actions animation. Or just hold down S and spam with E whilst using Tranquil Cleave clears things out good.

number one thing to remember you gotta be in melee mode to do the combos I forget from time to time

they are pretty spam friendly... only hard one is the "hook..." one. Took me a bit to pull it off when i wanted too :D Just load up a survival mission, dont hit the alarm... and just practice. 

 

Since DE still hasnt given our Dojo, fighting/shooting practice rooms this how we have to do it out of combat.

hey there, i'd recommend taking off fury and adding spoiled strike to reduce the attack speed right down till you get the hang ot the timing if you haven't already. Moguma posted a nice vid on the melee combo system as a whole, check that out here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKhnJHjtNAE

Here is a better lit one.

if you're having trouble doing combos. take off the fury mod. and still if having trouble. put on spoiled strikes. it seems attack speed mods effect the amount of time you are given to perform combos. I found it IMPOSSABLE to do combos when I had bersker+fury+ valkyrs attack speed bonus

Are you aware you need to switch to the Nikana (by holding F) for combos to work? you can't perform any combos with melee if you have a primary or secondary active. I say this because the combos really aren't hard so that shouldn't be the issue. For the combo where you have to use block you can actually keep holding block while mashing E to perform it... zero skill required

[JerZeyCJ]

If you hold down block and mash E, you'll pull of the one combo fine. With a max Fury, you'll probably pull the other one off accidentally, just a small pause after the first two presses for that one.

Speaking as some random #$&(% who grew up on the Prince of Persia games, the combo system for melee 2.0 was the most intuitive thing in the world for me.


I had no issue diving directly into the nostalgia and that makeshift Dastan's Fury combo on Fracturing Wind.

Thanks guys vids helped especially ;D

I just spam the melee button and random stuff happens.

The boxing one is quite good, could do with a couple more combos though.
