I’ve been metagaming as sniper recon with proximity sensor mines, very squishy but on a computer it’s op. Smart clash players have been using their turn as Predator to keep as much pressure as possible on me so that I have no time to set up any shots. I can Parry one out of three hits but usually if they have irregular timing to their strikes it’s impossible for me to block more than one
Parrying getting annoying

Parrying is pretty easy once you figure it out and the Pred does consistent attacks.
Every Weapon has it’s own rythm and range, that’s all.
It’s basically as if you study the rythm of a dance, like a waltz or something.

Strong disagree.
This games melee is nowhere near elegant or graceful or smooth to be compared to a dance lmao.
It would be nice if it was.
I would totally use a Rapier type weapon on pred, quick slashes and stabs, like faster than any current weapon, minimal effect from parry, you can bounce off parries and quickly counter.

I like the way you framed that , thank you .
I was rather referring to the technique of studying the rythm.
Of course it’s not elegant!
Since you’re referring to rapier fighting, are you into fencing/sword fighting too?

You guys are new here ain’t ya?
Not so much,
But it’s a weapon I like.
Put it this way, if for some reason I ever got into a sword fight, that’s what I would use.
I feel it would be the easiest to use, simply because they’re lighter swords.
It would be cool to see more Rapier in games tho.
Not really popular.

So I actually can’t find a real good example in my videos.
Couple of things to remember
- Like was said earlier, try to come from the back or sides, almost never attack from the front
- If you are parried, just leap out, don’t press even if you think you have the advantage because that’s gonna change too quickly for you to recover
- Mix in range. When you break melee hit with plasma once or twice before you go back in
- Bunny hopping sucks, but it works and it works both ways, you can jump around to get position
You should try it, real steel fighting (especially in armour) is total fun!

Because melee is OP.
If you do not parry, you literally get melted in 2 seconds by any braindead 5 year old smashing the attack button. That shit is not fun for anyone unless you are a fucking troll.
If you don’t want to get parried, or at least not so often, either use the sickle or the elder sword. The elder sword is by far the most difficult melee weapon to parry. Combistick is the easiest one.
Just net them. game over!
You shouldnt be trying to run in and melee when they are all in line of sight.
wear them down so 1 or 2 hits will down them, then net one EZ.
Attack from behind…
But let’s do something. Get some friends and lets host a private match. I’ll disable parry capabilities and I’ll be the pred. I won’t use any ranged attacks. Let’s see how you feel once I melee all you down and you have no way to counter the attack.

My secondary’s yautja bow, i’ve found it pretty amazing so far as a ranged option.
u can carry 2 weapons. net guns IMO should always be one of them.
Thats just me though
Yeah, although I have elder sword as my primary too. This build’s been working perfectly to fit my type of gameplay.
u get a free ranged and melee choice anyway. Plasma and wristblades. so i think either 1 more ranged or 1 more melee and then always netgun.
Give it a try you wont be bothered about parrying anymore.
Plus parrying is a neccesary defence to melee spamming.
All i can say is try playing as fireteam for a while and not using parry, basically you are dead in 5 seconds.
lol backpedal AK + Deadly gang reporting in.
If a pred gets a full combo off to begin with, teammates are doing something wrong. Me backpedalling (without headshots) and one other person firing kills the pred before hes even able to finish the combo animation.
