@@inixi8ocelot absolutely no, but judging how I cannot even stunlock a majoris with the kombat knife I'm inclined to guess he was using mods. Did you by chance get a clip?

@@chrisgamez9656 I've posted the tech. I've managed to emulate the tech and stunkock the Hive Tyrant using Combat knife. It works on all Majoris, Extremis and Terminus bosses.

@@inixi8ocelot that is crazy! Testing this right now. I find it wild that I had not seen this, guessing most people go for the shoulder bash instead of the shadow stab. Usually all majoris and above have like a stagger limit, so you can stagger them a few times and then they are immune to stagger until you parry or dodge and gunstrike. I'm wondering why this seems to just ignore that. I do feel like this might get patched if it is wide spread on the community since it doesn't seem intended.

Same.

@@dingusbinger This was recorded before patch 4.0 At the time the perk rejuvenating effect also gave the contested health like invigorating icon. Also this was in no way a class perk guide, and was only focused on the power sword so I find really odd that you decided to focus on this.

@@chrisgamez9656 I forgot about that, you’re completely right. My apologies for hyper focusing on the perks

Absolutely! So, you should already know that by holding the attack button while dodging you can switch and do the lunge attack of the OTHER style, Example: so if you were on speed style you dodge > hold attack, it switches to power and you do the lunge attack of power style (the wide sweep). The other option allows you to do the lunge attack of you CURRENT style and then change, on the same Example you start on speed style , dodge > press attack quickly> press and hold attack, you will do the lunge attack for speed and then change to continue on power. Highly recommend you go to the arena on the battle barge and practice a little as the timing of attack>release>attack and hold needs to be done fairly fast during the dodge animation. Hope that helps!

@@chrisgamez9656 Thank you so much. But sometimes dodge > press attack quickly> press and hold attack will be lunge attack>power rake. I think that input window is super short, I am not sure if it affected by dodge range nerf in the last 4.0 patch.

@BIackSkillX it has not been changed you can still just hold the attack button while in the dodge/roll animation. there is another tech about just holding the attack to start the style switch and holding block to get the lunge attack faster you can see that on the 2nd part of my guide here th-cam.com/video/0AEll8aeSGQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7L50xfHfQwFG_CEq

I felt like you, but got good at it out of stubbornness and now it’s my favorite. Melee in this game is super viable, with one exception…that’s what a plasma gun is for. It’s worth giving a second chance.

Bulwark is incredibly strong. Assuming you can parry. Although chainsword is just better and you will notice a huge difference.

@@DavidTector my Optimus prime bulwark has to use the power sword. The legendary fencing one with a speed of is amazing with speed of 7. Load it up with speed perks and you absolutely overwhelm all bigger enemies. And power doesn’t need buffs to kill trash mobs. But the chain saw does generally perform better, just due to all the combos. You can opt to stun any time. And there’s something disrespectful about killing with a kick to the face

Do a solo Lethal using Tactical if you can survive. Bulwark and Vanguard are the best for Solo Lethal runs.

@@Mantelar Hehe, yeah but the only thing that matters to me is the chainsword just seems to be cancellable into parry at any moment where as there are moments with the powersword where it seems there is a small frame you might get stuck in an animation. The whirl one is very dangerous in particular. I like to clutch lethal with randoms so it requires me to many times parry 200-300 times in a small amount of time when you get swarmed by 50+ enemies with 4 terminus enemies and hordes upon hordes with 10+ majoris while stuck on the elevator with 2 dead teamates and little to no space to move.

It's a move of the power sword. Hot escape during the game to see how to do it.

@@Ranca666 thank you brother

@@kenmachris PW doesn't change at all, for majoris it depends, if its only one you can lock them down with speed style and power rake, if its multiple and none is attacking I go for power whirl a lot

@@Jonatan_Fernandez thanks for watching!

@@MachiavelliD4 are you not getting the timing down? Also please keep in mind that on the arena in the battle barge you do not have any perk effects so if you are not trying it on an actual mission it won't work

@@chrisgamez9656 I was trying in the arena. Thanks for the comment.

its especially bad when you try to do a power whirl and accidentally get out of the stance by walking lol

@@BaurzhanG thank you for letting me know, I really gotta up my shield bashing skills, I don't do it enough

Just Hold the Block, and as soon as you hold press the atack button, release the Block. You will do a Bash and your controller will vibrate and your sword stance will change . Ty for the tip @BaurzhanG

any chance you could show me exactly what this looks like, it is possible I dont have high enough fps as you are saying, however the results I am getting are that you can act about as fast as just letting the parry animation go normally

@irishcream677 that's exactly why I decided to make one myself, people just clickbait and get 50k views but then the video is them just reading the combos and somehow making that last 20+ minutes lol

Cuz most guide makers are actually avarage at the game, recycling steam comments and reddit threads.

@@Lyonatan Yeah I know what you mean, game hasn't been out very long to be fair so alot of people are just kind of jumping on the train of it. It kind of feels related to me with this newest patch. I feel like two weeks of life span is too short of a time for devs to roll out such a drastic difficulty altering patch that you CAN'T change for yourself as a player. My view is people need to learn the game and see if its actually for them before bullying devs to change the experience into something more 'convenient' for them. ranting ranting yada yada

@@ovidiudiumea4012 knife its better at dealing damage fast and is more focused on single target which fits vanguard really well, I would only go for the chainsword if you are lacking horde clear

@@chrisgamez9656 so for example chainsword would work if I didn’t pick the Melta rifle as the primary, right? Thx for your input

@ovidiudiumea4012 yeah it will really compliment a more long range primary

@chrisgamez9656 finally someone who knows the tech and still gets it 😅 knife is single target dps, chain sword if not using melta since you'll need the wave clear. They're just different tools for different builds.

I prefer the chainsword for the single charge punch attach that gives you gun strikes. Need to keep your shield on lethal all the time. Especially to successfully carry randoms thar remain dead most of the match. I rely on parries to deal with majoris not really the melee weapon itself.

hell yeah

@@Nathansv3223 small clarification 1 light into heavy is always kick. Usually shoulder would be 2 lights into heavy and stomp 3 lights into heavy. With this tech you can get both kick and shoulder after 1 light and stomp after 2.
