- Third Attack - 30.5, 30.5 (61)
Alpha Sickle
- Attack Damage - Full Combo - 128
- First Attack - 37
- Second Attack - 40
- Third Attack - 51
(found those from the archive topic)
it looks like the swords are pretty much the same as two existing weapons but with the addition that a heavy attack can’t be parried. the attack animation speeds are around the same, but that may be what’s wrong with the swords
their weapon tracking can be iffy and i think that it’s possible to escape some of the damage because a full hit from the primary attack consists of two quick slashes. like you could hit the button, make one of the slashes, weapon tracking would kick in, and you’d only land the second hit of the “first” attack in the combo. i’m pretty sure that also applies to the secondary attack but i’ll have to rewatch footage to confirm
hence forth, i think that alpha sickle barely trumps dual swords simply because of the animations, and the first hit from sickle deals 7 more damage.
video of me complaining and being bored coming soon.
