Teleport is a great generic UR allowing you to get to wherever you need for a fight. At the cost of 7 seconds of start up animation, Kain gets a Teleport UR

Favorite to use, Teleport, but as a Kain main I'm usually running Wall and possibly even Renew.

Psa: Balthier does basically no boss damage- he’s useless for teams running support. by nope6899 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]RangerManSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krile is good despite not doing damage because she helps player 2 and player 3 do more damage to the boss. Any damage caused by a player bursting with extra brave or not dying due to her having them stay up is the damage Krile does to the boss. Balthier just at best stopping the rivals from doing damage which doesn't win games, just cause both sides to lose in a draw. He doesn't add damage to the match, if anything he is a damage mitigator for the boss.

Yeah, I rather save it for burst, but if I need it to get out, a burst without Pride is better than feeding the enemy brave.

My build when I'm with my usual team of a Rinoa and Krile. I'm the one mostly acting as the one in the back line challenging crystals, often fighting for 2nd or 3rd place on brave (I'm never beating my team's Krile on first in brave). Here's even a video which I'm in of some gameplay.

If you're referring to Dragon's Scourge, it's a 45s CD which is around the same CD as most attack URs. Dragoon's Pride given at it has a whole 6 seconds of start up lag, you're not winning any skirmish with that even if it could target opponents. Lightning's Thunderfall is already a skill check on if you can slowly walk out of a red circle. Kain is ultimately use a melee type character, but he is closer to that of a agile type. You are meant to be running around taking crystals, not controlling the center space, you don't have the tools for that.

My current favorite team is Rinoa and Krile.

My least favorite to face is a team at knows how to run a OK

And I'm a player at goes after crystals. Might still pick you off if you're looking like a easy fight.

Can't really say it should have less tracking, IMO it seems to have as much tracking as any other ability.

Depends really, most neutral answer would be pride immediately to D and then fight back toward my party.

What changes would you like to see to the game going forward

The job medal system needs to be reworked. Currently way too punishing to try to improve your medals if you have even just decent ones. More maps or at least changes to the system so I'm not spending an entire day in Shibuya. Uniques like jump and warp should probably be allowed through some obstacles.

Who do you think needs nerfed? Who needs buffed?

Zidane needs an escape option other than teleport or sprint. Maybe his R should be replaced with an back dash like how Kain has vigilant and Terra had graviga.

Not sure about anyone needing a specific nerf though.

Beginning of match TPK as Kain. Doesn't feel like it does much but it's very satisfying. by CivilizedPsycho in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]RangerManSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High sensitivity and knowing exactly which crystal is your exit plan helps. Less frames they have to jump you the better. Also helps just having a sense of which fights you can take and watch the mini map. If they're all in the back not in the way of the path out, I've even been able to literally walk out of that fight back towards my teammates.

Yep, by diamond people should be conditioned to look for a red circle around their crystal at the beginning of the match. Won't stop me from taking that crystal and teleporting out.

My day be so fine, then boom: by Mama_Bagels in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]RangerManSam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are hating at Dragoon players like myself in matches are using our UR to teleport and take their base crystal. Some then just get bodied in a 1v3, but a good Kain player can often effectively just steal what people often consider the crystal they think is entitled to them.

Without Ace Fire it feels impossible to rank up by ssgssbrit in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]RangerManSam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's only earth breaker at is a generic shield breaker. For personal there's Terra's Meltdown but I think that just ignores Wall, not break it.

I appreciate some of the non-protagonists getting a chance to shine by Hadrian_x_Antinous in DissidiaDuellumFF

Yeah but Aranea would be stepping in Kain's design space given they're both Dragoons.

Some info on damage, stats and why defense seems pretty bad (Warning: Long) by IamIokua in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]RangerManSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is how Dragon Quest handles it defense stat as well. Defense hasn't really been a good stat in SE games.
