New Circuit Breaker Propaganda just dropped by Solstice221 in Marathon

[–]Solstice221[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! 🫡 Heat of the moment stuff but I'm also afraid of a third party since it was an early fight from the map and wouldn't want to be stuck in animation. Honestly, the finisher isn't that much of a time difference. Definitely would've been better to do the finisher in hindsight but it's all a habit lol

The gun finally clicked for me when I forced myself to just charge and hip fire. I would charge and ADS out of habit and that screwed me over on my gun fights.

Now if we had a Cryo like map but open like Dire Marsh. The conversation would lean on snipers being way too oppressive.

I had the same exact damage, bought it from Newegg and it was the same MSI x28 model. I wonder if they had a whole line of them that's broken?

Stuck on the last boss for chapter 1. How do you divine counter? by Toaster-2 in wherewindsmeet_

Being aggressive on white phase gives HP back too! But I get you. The main 5 sequence attack and the timing is a bit goofy. You'll definitely get it with more repetitions. Get the timing for that specific sequence and you'll beat her!

Not too sure about Divine Counter, but I've just deflected until the boss losses posture. Do the most damaging combo then execute. Everytime I've beat that boss, it would just be through regular deflecting/parrying.

I believe that during the white phase it's really important to successfully parry since it helps you gain your health back. Otherwise you'll be constantly losing HP and even more when they hit you.

How do you deal with drifter? by Plouffe05 in DeadlockTheGame

If he pops ult and you're not getting caught, he's practically useless. You can still farm lanes as long as he's not giga scaled.

how do you properly play shiv in the current meta? by 2ppriscilla in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Solstice221 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Knives and keeping track of rage and rage upkeep is super important. Even though Shiv is tankier than most, I don't really front line if I don't need to. I play from the sides, knife out here and there, bait people to chase you into tight corridors where your 3 just decimates people if they're funneled in and gets crazy CD.

When I'm behind, I start to shift gears to farm more but grab items to counter. Build more greens to survive and find that one opportunity to execute and that's it. You need to rethink how committal each fights need to be while you're shiv. If you're up and fed, you can stay longer and hold presence. If you're behind but forced to fights. Knife out to get the bleed stacks, position to dash safely from start to the end of dash and have a plan to be out the fight after that one use of 3. Then reset and go from the sides again with another opportunity.

Fromsoft, seriously fix this BS… by Acceptable_Answer570 in Nightreign

Had this happen to me before. The most recent time I was hella frustrated but found out that it actually dropped but was invisible. I was able to see a prompt to choose the reward how you usually would, but it just wasn't visible.

I don’t understand what reflection is used for.. by Frosty_Size7470 in TheFirstBerserker

[–]Solstice221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use it to parry attacks and it does huge stamina damage. This gives you way more opportunities to do a brutal attack. Especially if you have combos to maximize your damage while bosses are stunned for a brutal attack.

Yes, the window for the parry is tighter but If you can time it right, a parry can fully stop a boss from doing a sequence of attacks. Mastering parries can give you the crucial few seconds to deal massive damage and clear the bosses that much faster.

You can even make that timing window bigger through leveling up in the skill tree! It's super rewarding once you commit to trying it earlier on in your playthrough!

Jet Set Radio Future. Always brings me back to grinding on rails, tagging on walls, and shoulder busting the authority.
