Heavy Smash vs Tkick as dps skill

Been wanting to create a Brawler Dps for a while now and want to know the which has the highest damage between HS and Tkick. which would be the best skill to use as DPS. Does the HS dmg without the break from Shell break high? How much increase does the break gives?

PS: I dont really care about the long animations of skills.

 

I mean, for me personally, it changes depending on the boss.
Heavy Smash has the most damage when used with Shell Break (And has about the same damage as t.kick when used without)
But sometimes I kinda have to use t.kick as my main for bosses that are harder to hit (aranea, zolban, proto leon) and bosses that have a damage cap (Evil crystal beast, memecoleous).
Hecc, I even make great use of Shell Break as a dps move for high def bosses.
But im pretty sure that brawlers will start having better dps options at Lv 4 Skills, and wont have to be so resourceful.

i use both of em as dps skill.. tkick is useful if sb doesnt proc.. but if sb proc better use heavy smash cuz it has higher dmg when enemy has armor break..

 

Ohhhh thanks for the information man. i do hope for better dps on lv 4 skills. how to cope with bosses that uses strong attacks when flinched/stunned? almost all of the brawlers skills have disrupts.

i'll test things out to figure which skills and combo is suited for me.

 

In term of damage for each skill, hsmash deals more than tkik ONLY IF you meets requirement(guardbreak) which can be generated thru shell break or normal attak + strong chase

However tkik is faster, no need prerequisite condition/ailment, higher crit rate boost...
Deals decent and high dmg as well.

Diff bosses in toram might required diff combo and skill. Sometimes its so hard to activate hsmash while tkik can be used anytime anywhere..

 

armor break not guard break ..

 

Imo
If your character relies heavily on auto attack go bag heavy smash
If your more of a spammer then tkick is your soulmate

 

Agreed, I mean, if you have a pretty solid AMPR base and a crap ton of aspd, then lean more towards hsmash.

 

Ohhh.. I am building an ampr build so i guess i'll go with Hsmash as main dps and tkick as secondary.

 

Oh. Aggravate also inflicts armor break right? does that also make Hsmash dmg increase or does Sbreak armor break only?

 

Yes, hsmash can still deal twice in dmg as long as armour break is in effect, doesnt matter who or what inflicts it.

 

Thanks!

 

In terms of damage, heavysmash > triplekick.

In terms of reliability, triple wins. ^_^
