WhiteCopain Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 So I've been testing out the new Excal ult, and I can't for the life of me figure out the point to doing the special combos on him. Just mashing E is far faster swing rate and blade beams then if I do the combos, and the combos don't seem to make the blade beams bigger or faster or stronger, nor do the attacks seem to do more damage, if anything, all they do is make him attack far slower then the default attack animation. Am I missing something special here? Cause the attacks, while not the greatest looking, do look fairly nice, but I just don't get how to make it really work.

shut Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I assumed that they did extra damage and I'm probably not going to practice them until someone tests out the multipliers (since I'm too lazy to do it myself). If they really do no extra damage or have no additional effect, then... that's a shame. Kinda pointless to have extra combos when quick button-mashing can get the same job done better.

ApolloXIII Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 No clue yet, mostly play with the other combos for flavor to the combat personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratego89 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Unless they multipliers, yeah they're basically useless. It's always the same 3 directional slashes.... (woulda liked to see more variety for his ult) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY13ERPUNK Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 pretty much sums up the entire 'combo' melee v2 system i think +1 OP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senketsu_ Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I do know that some of the combos make bigger energy waves that hit more enemies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherigala Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 IMO, Excal finally has the awesome ult he needed. I mean, seriously, a bag of swords that impale everything as previous ult? before he felt more like a spearman, rather than a swordsman, and now he feels like a jedi-samurai (energy-blade that comes out of literally nowhere? lightsabers!) as he should be. Excalibur is a sword-themed, melee-focused frame, and the current rewamp gave him this perfectly. Love the update so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know that some of the combos make bigger energy waves that hit more enemies. You don't know that, because it doesn't. I've been testing them over and over in the practice area of relays. The blades have the same visual and hit box (Still slide by if I go close). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IfritKajiTora Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Strong hits of it/longer animation should send 3 waves in a cone like this \|/ .So we could cut more enemies. Edited June 19, 2015 by IfritKajiTora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishki88 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 My notes from testing Lancing Justice Energy Wave >Has a chance to proc Punc/Slash/Impact on every slash. Virtuous Slash Energy Wave >Has a greater chance to Proc Punc/Slash Damage on last Hit >Sometimes my damage would double randomly. Equal Laceration Energy Wave >?????? Nothing out the normal, has pun/impact/slash proc chance on each wave Hit >Last hit causes ragdoll/knockdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockscl Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) Virtuous slash: does like 1.1x damage on its third attack last hit doesnt follow the reticle and seems to go down - up by the right side missing the target Cutting poise: like 1.9x on third attack Equal lasceration: Last hit procs blast Edited June 19, 2015 by rockscl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
