So the old Combistick is OP, Again....

#41

i made a build of melee scoot with net gun and elder sword, if you have the right stamina its very Deadly, but you need to play smart

#42

The stick is the best because not only can it hit multiple troopers at once, but also suffers the least from the wonky melee targeting because of its long reach and wide arcs. I tried using the sword and found that more often than not I would land the first swing, then the followup animation completely misses leaving you standing there like an idiot because the Predator doesn’t really move forwards while slashing.

#43

you need to use net gun befor use sword or catch a guzs on corner; one combo= one kill but requer lot of stamina

#44

Good teams will avoid both of those.

#45

sur, they will.

#46

Elder sword doesn’t have a flash mechanic that can chain into a standard claw combo.

#47

it does flat more dmg then the stick combo by alot

#48

Claws are more than what you want from melee.

Combi is a superior weapon due to being a throwable javelin that deals massive amount of damage.
I couldn’t care less for its melee capability.

If I would ever consider taking a melee weapon, I would choose the one that has shortest animation lock on first slash, so I can leap in, slash, leap out ASAP.

Combistick thrown does a lot of damage plus it flashes, then you can combo with wrist blades.

So I’m not the only one. CombiStick Smart Disc is what I run but, it’s literally 2 shots.
If you are tagged with the CombiStick thrown The first attack of the wrist blades will down you. What ever the gut punch part is.

However…speaking to the overall tone of the thread.
If the FT can’t aim they hands down deserve to be wiped by melee.
