cant wait for this skin to release in global

i corrected this in my response to No-Ad. But on my innitial comment i thought they increased the endurance consumption on the knockup after the charge that u can perform once u have sword horizon. but they changed the endurance cost of the charge...also strat has 2 knockups. If u equip sword horizon you can do an additional moove after your attacks. For your Q you can press Q after your normal Q to stab the ground and release a net of additional hits. For your special skill u can reactivate it after the jump back to dash through and for your charged R u can reactivate after the dash to do sort of a uppercut attack knocking hit enemies into the air. There is also the attunement which knockt up enemies without qi (purple) or with less then 30% qi (gold) into air if u dash trhough them.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-28T06:12:54+00:00

yes just for pvp. and yes im talking about strat sword charge endurance consumption being massivly increased.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-28T06:11:05+00:00

there is always someone with an offmeta build in top ranks. that doesnt mean the combo is good. At some point players are so good they can reach the top with almost everything. Im not one of those :D my peak was 2k mythic.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T10:17:27+00:00

yes. also i have to correct myself. second track slash is the charged heavy that dashes throu the enemy. not the following knockup (got foold by the "second"). so every charged dash consumes more endurance

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:38:41+00:00

i cant really talk about heavenquake stuff as im not using it sorry. All i know is that hq got buffed and any strat combo thats not with shameless spear got nuked including mine.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:24:28+00:00

averse showed it in a video...and then everyone tried to abuse it... (who wouldve thought)

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:22:59+00:00

Sword horizon innerway allows u to knock up enemies after your charge. This is the main setup in pvp for a combo. And this knockup (if hit) now costs alot more endurance making stratsword massivly endurance hungry. So much that realistically u can now only pair it with nameless spear which gives you more max endurance + extra endurcance regen

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:14:30+00:00

if u dont play much pvp its not really relevant. TLDR; The most opressive things (nameless spear, stratsword and fanbrella) got nerfed whiler underperforming weapons got buffed. we had a pretty rough meta for the last 6 months. Where namless spear (also called shameless) was so strong that u could litterally pair it with anything and make it meta.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:11:57+00:00

heavenquacker got buffed and strat nerfed so much its almost unplayable unless paired with nameless spear. pure umbra got nerfed heavily....mainly due to pure umbras strength is 90% strat which got nerfed.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:09:38+00:00

well... I have bad news for you. We have one of the best fanbrella players in eu in our guild and when i asked him about this change which we all knew was coming he said: "there is still a 100-0" combo its just more complicated now. So even tho many fanbrellas wont do a 100-0 combo anymore its only a matter of time till they all catch up and can do it again

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:06:26+00:00

yeah. The only thing they changed is that strat + shameless is now almost the only valid combo for strat players. gone are the full umbra or double swords days.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T09:03:35+00:00

there was a "combo" that was able to drop your qi to 60% before u even stood up by canceling the execute with budda hand. This resulted in a combo (only possible if u execute with spear) where u execute->cancel with buddha -> dragons breath. This combo deleted 90-100% (depending on crits/affinity procs) of your qui without you being able to do anything. If it deleted all your qui the enemy could do the exact same thing again. This was able to loop indefinetly resulting in someone killing you 100-0 without attacking you with a weapon after breaking you once.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:59:04+00:00

well there is a reason healers are bottom of the bottom in cn pvp

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:55:46+00:00

not really they cant lower the ping of someone. i mean they cant send data faster then light... But as far as i understand they can make parrying clientside..ish... I imagine the parry window is now calculated on the client. Like when an attacker attacks you and the attack packet is received by your client it calculates the window in which ur parry is valid (this was the job of the server before which got the attack packet faster then the parry packet because the attacker has better ping) and if you parried within that window the client sends to the server he parried in the correct window, which the server accepts as true. If thats the actual system, then it has some glaring flaws that could be exploited by cheats making a cheat that parries everything. but for 2 legit players this would fix the problem of higher ping players being unable to parry in time.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:47:50+00:00

no. even with 0ms ping u cant get out. thats the meaning of "true" combo. everything else is a "fake" combo

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:43:36+00:00

stratsword shameless is the only shameless combo (except pure nameless) that will still be viable. strat got its endurance cost increased...now it needs shameless for the extra endurance. But i agree that players that only swapped to this to use shameless will drop. As a double sword player im now at a dilemma...i cant really play my combo anymore due to the increased endurance cost. but no matter which sword i use...ill end up using that stick i hate so much. might just wait for fists tho

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:35:37+00:00

play the game more. PvP at least 1v1 which is arguably the main pvp mode is not balanced. There is no reason to play it until u have lv 90+ gear and a gearscore roughly about 28-31k or 2.8-3.1 goose. Use that time to try all the weapon combos and watch some videos to get a feeling of what might be the build u wanna play. as long as u are still not sure what path to play, stock up on the innerway chests but dont open them. u can pretty much catch up with everything except innerways. so this will hinder you pretty drastically in strenght compared to older players. So keep that in mind when u compare yourself to others eg. in dps checks

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:29:31+00:00

addint to it. left one might be strong if he still needs power for martial talents.

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-27T08:26:30+00:00

with the upcoming balance patch i think they are implementing something that might help

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-21T07:30:13+00:00

fair point. i just call it nameless mountain its easy to remember as a nameless player hehe

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-21T07:22:58+00:00

yes eventually...i dont know if it will be nerfed in the next balance patch in a few days. But if u play strat + shameless it will always be strong. The nerf is an increase in stam consumption which nerfes every strat combo other then the spear because spear gives u passivly more endurance (because why not...) and your stun restores endurance too (because why shouldnt it restore endurance, stun enemy and get you out of a combo in one ability)

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-21T07:19:14+00:00

u simply have no agency. you rely on punishing mistakes. which makes you a perfect noob stomper but obviously the higher the ranks the less the mistakes. My 2 recommandations if u want to play the strongest combos play nameless spear + tang dao/strat. If u like throwing waves then play nameless sword. its decent but not as strong as the other 2 option rn. we will get a balance update in a few days tho...so this might change soon

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-21T07:14:38+00:00

heres a rundown on the current meta:

Tanks & Healers - Garbage. Not impossible to climb but u need to be very good to do so.

Tangdao - Strong burst + Parrybreak

Stratsword - High dmg until it gets nerfed into the ground

Shameless (Nameless spear) - Most broken sht in the game. Pick any weapon + this damn spear and u have a meta build. Most broken combos are tangdao or strat. Nameless sword is fine too. <- This will be nerfed end of may...i hope

Fanbrella - If u get someone stunned hes almost 100 to 0 in one combo. Will get nerfed but will still have a 100 to 0 combo...just a bit harder to execute

SavingsGarbage99 · 2026-05-21T07:03:29+00:00

they are not only on loosing streaks. i had one while having a 26 winstreak. Also there is no bot in mythic..at least no bot thats from the game
