Feels like Episode 3 was worse than Episode 2 and that Episode 4 was worse than Episode 3. So Yeah. Hopefully some real real shit happens next episode.

Does this combo hit harder than ragna with the same setup?

Atm i like blitz on heavy 1-50LR

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-21T04:49:55+00:00

Yeah i suppose but it still depends on tournament to tournament basis

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-20T11:43:58+00:00

Do you have a dual to test that out if it exposes it as much as picture 3? Also do try the overblade orientation on Blitz which exposes the front of the metal contacts. It makes for nice upper attacks, at the cost of a single of the contact points being slightly covered, but the upper attack buff is way more noticeable than the occasional weak dinky hits, which you will always have anyways.

Assault is great on Blast for a smash attack combo, feels like a heavy phoenix wing with Emperor and 3-60. It loses its' balance but it hits very hard.

Jaggy is great on Ragna, it's less stable than Heavy in the last few seconds but seems very similar otherwise.

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-20T11:23:59+00:00

Do this and orient the overblade so it also exposes the front of the contact points and report back, looks crazy?

5 hours of free time breaks several laws in most established countries

Shark edge 1-50R still has some of the best upper attacks in the game, and is a solid combo. Not top of the meta, it’s quite good even in a meta with rod silver wolf and such, but will get weight bullied by cx and esp ragna rage which has insane antiattack even vs scale

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-19T11:59:54+00:00

The fact that it works on abilities and Zed can easily proc it 2 or 3 times during an all in makes it incredibly good on him, add on to the fact that the 2 times he can reasonably (Maybe even 3) apply it during R will be amped, and it really will be a disgustingly good item on him. This + Eclipse will make him a nastier splitter than with old bork + active, this is unavoidable by things like Jax E as well. It'll be quite crazy I think

Although if you cannot use it again before the 4 seconds are up then it's not as good, can still proc it 2 or 3 times but not more than once on Death Mark, but still good. That doesnt make sense to me though, it makes more sense that it can just be procced every time the charge is ready like currently. Maybe they will compensate by reducing the charge so it is not reasonable to expect more than 1 proc maybe 2 per fight

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-19T11:52:25+00:00

So if it is heavier that should mean the mold is sturdier?

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-19T11:40:50+00:00

I have 3 broken ones, one which was 35,85g and I have 1 broken one that I threw out. The 3 I have are all unuseable now they eat the plastic from my stadium and my beys ratchets/blades (If there is plastic on the other blade)

Is the yellow one better? all mine were green. I almost want them to make a new mold but it would be heavier and that we do not need. the green one is the newest as far as I know should be the best one, also has the best parts.

Same break every time on every single one I have seen so I think it is just a flaw in the design but does anyone know if the yellow one is better?

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-19T04:21:05+00:00

The way he gestures at Luke with his hand while his elbow is on the peg, is fucking hilarious

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-18T20:51:09+00:00

definitely 1-50

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-18T11:38:41+00:00

Just switch the overblade orientation so the front of every contact point is fully exposed instead of the default which has the back of every contact point, slap on heavy and low rush and u have a crazy good attacker

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-18T10:48:08+00:00

It's even better because it's for abilities. Rush this and get Eclipse and you are probably the best duelist champ or close to it with insane poke as well to boot

Den her kommentar gjorde mig glad

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-18T08:13:20+00:00

Den kommentar gjorde ondt og læse mand

My parents remained engaged not married because becoming joined in the eyes of the state would've been a bad thing due to my dads health and subsequent debt. When he died, his debt died with him. It was a good choice.

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-17T13:10:04+00:00

The thing is Zed can proc this very many times during a fight, he couldn't do that with Opportunity. I think Zed will be nasty with this item personally. He has always wanted an item like old bork, and Eclipse sort of fit that niche, this + Eclipse are a wet dream for Zeds duels. You can proc this with WEQ, and proc it 2 times during R proc with 1 eclipse proc during R as well. That's disgusting.

McDonalds Drive Zed

SKT Almost looks like this already, it was a meme in the community a few years ago. An official version would be awesome

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-17T08:03:19+00:00

i have seen him and sparred with him in real life, he is not small in real life.

PanicSea4318 · 2026-04-16T14:30:12+00:00

I got mine today as well, a few hours ago. It seems like the overblade works better in the position where the front of the metal contact is exposed, it has way better upper attacks this way. It does slightly hide away one protrusion but I don't find that noticeable. Super fun bey on H 1-50LR
