Blade Storm losing melee combo on all robotic and machinery type enemies

[aerosoul1337]

We had new animation for Blade storm on Osprey / Drone enemies from an update several months ago.

However those animations do not increase melee combo for Ash at all.

The easiest way to reproduce it is targeting a single high level drone, melee combo counter does not increase with most blade storm animations.

This also happens to Rollers, Regulators and Moa type enemies, and even infested Ospreys. Basically all robotics and machines are bugged.
The only exception is infested version of Moas, they do not use new animations (just the old "one hand stab" animation), so the combo works on them.

(But some old animations on grineer rollers do increase melee combo, only the newer animations are bugged.)

You may even lose all your previous built combo when baldestorming those enemies.

EDIT: add this video

You can see the highest combo is 1. (combo counter at right bottom, check it with 720p or higher.)
That's why some Ospreys take a lot of hit to kill. Not to mention they are immune to bleeding.

Infested version of Ospreys have the same issue.

It is supposed to be animation related bug.

Before the new animations, Ash used one hand stab to attack them (that used to increase melee combo correctly).

Because hitting those types of enemies usually gives no combo at all.

Sometimes you lose all your combo during the animations.

This happens to Grineer Rollers, Regulators too.

If you don't know what I mean old animation that works:

Ash used to use one hand stab on machines and robotics.

Currently only infested moas still use old animation, and you can see the melee combo increases correctly:

What a lazy rework.

1.Same animations, and most of them are bugged (that I have been reporting for years), blade storm still missing melee combo counter on all robotics and machines. I got ZERO combo from the video.

2.The camera is still annoying as hell.

3.Ash is still misplaced.
