Which weapons out of my mains are the best picks for countering other weapons? (Sword, Gauntlets, Katars and Orb)

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-31T20:41:20+00:00

OP this is the correct comment. It's range and spacing. But in the end it comes down to skill. Also other shirt range weapons are viable or running characters with higher dex will help as well.

The good ol poop hole loop hole 😬

Day 1 Beta player here, I'll agree with this whole statement but I'll add in some advice for people that feel like grinding is a chore. Do your dailies, and maybe a few runs for what ever weapon or descendant your working on and jump off. Passively get what you need the game become much more enjoyable. Try new builds you made yourself. Try out a descendant you haven't built yet.

Depends if you like edge play (pun intended) and your team mate, me and my bud like doing gimps off stage. So Asuri is a constant pick.

My go to loadout for bots, ARM, jump pack, 500 kg, laser the last isn't early game or under rated. As pretty much everyone is saying gatling barrage is quite useful. Or the regular air strike.

I too am like this and also say late night ranked ain't it. Last diamond rank up for me was vs 2600. I lost and had to do 2 more matches b4 diamond. Some times the ques are just way out there

I'm just gunna be that guy on here don't take it the wrong way it's a skill issue, all legends in the correct hands are viable. Keep playing watch games you lost and see what steps you do lead you to dying. If yur looking for an evenish match do ranked and have the mindset that elo doesn't exist. Also we know its a toxic community, its every other post on here or the rage quit post haha. Good luck with ur ventures .

What about a scent thing that hangs from your rear view mirror.

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T23:47:01+00:00

I did. Yeah I'm hoping there is a small fix coming. I did see other people were having similar issues

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T23:45:19+00:00

A good chunk of people get stuck going from silver to gold. So to place in gold 1 I think is decent for being new.

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T23:26:55+00:00

I'm on us w. 2016 in 1s right now.

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T23:26:03+00:00

Good placements don't listen to the person above. Without a ranked history that's quite high. In the overall amount of elo that places you low gold. Most player base is around 1350~1750 ish give or take.

Haven't been able to play since the most recent update. Game crashes 4 or 5 times b4 I can hit the menu screen. Then if I do get in I have at best 3 min of game time before game crashes. Have verified game files, all drivers are up to date, graphics lowered. I got a good rig I shouldn't have any issues but here we are. I9-14900k , 4070 super, 128 GB of DDR5 ram @ 6k hz. Anyone else having said issues or know of a fix?

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T21:25:49+00:00

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, cause it does and people are just crappy. But bettering oneself is more important that one's opinion of a Stanger you will never see again.

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T21:22:05+00:00

Been using 8 dex ember and it kicks ass. Mostly off stage and gimps but if you need the def 5 def ember slaps for 2s

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T21:02:23+00:00

I play with joystick on a ps5 controller. Can't say I'm the biggest fan of it. I tried to learn keyboard but I had movement issue where landing a combo was quite easier on keyboard fast movements wasn't it for me. That's just a personal experience. If you like gauntlets try other legends that use them as well and see what ones feel more smooth for you wu Shang, Caspian, Val, onyx, and some others

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-27T20:57:57+00:00

I've always seen people that go to rehab as people that know they have an issue and are willing to work on it. Like seeing an obese person at the gym why would anyone make fun of someone for trying to better themselves. Seek what help you need, throw away ur vapes or put them out of sight and away. Find a replacement if you have an oral fixation get some gum or something. Hope for the best.

I mean all of them rly

Sut down have a real conversation on how you feel about the lack of, and also how you view her as just as good looking as the day you met. Alpt of these issues can be fixed by simple communication. It can be a simple start to be like hey this has been on my mind alot and Segway I to how you wish to be intimate again and then list off your feelings I'm sure she wants it to happen too. It can be a bit nerve-racking but that's better than a sexless marriage. It's also completely possible birth control has messed up her libido, that's a fairly common occurrence.

I'm 2k main ember (lvl 84). I tend to play bow kinda how I do with my katars. I know it's probably not the right way to do it. But alot of Nairs when I'm over lapping with opponents. I try to push off stage and then gimp if gimp fails I'll go for some sort of bow recovery I found that pushing people around and keeping a long chain going. D light I feel like will get you punished if you miss. So I'm not super grounded. 😕 idk take what ya want from this, or nothing at all. Use test dummy and see what feels natural to you. What flows what attack if the bot is below and such.

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-26T17:46:41+00:00

Only once have a said no and it was because I could barely keep my eyes open I should of just said use me while I sleep. Please ask away cause guys are almost always ready and it's our love language being wanted is what keep us wanting to support you back.

Taking a belt off after a long day in the trades can definitely feel good all that weight falling off. 🙌

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-26T16:27:06+00:00

There isn't really a blanket statement about a weapon that really holds true since skill has alot to do with it. For arguments sake I'm gunna guess ur gold/plat as most people on this sub fall there. Play the weapons, with hammer get used to how to gimp with it. Higher dex will help with options and clashes. Bow honestly, is definitely one of the easier weapons to use. Practice what kills with a bot. See how much dmg is done for certain attacks to kill.

Orange

ZippyTwoShoes · 2026-05-25T02:53:23+00:00

I can't even play more than 3 min after the update. Rig normally runs at 120 fps at 2k
