KATANA SKILLS INFO DUMP

If you put pulse blade in a combo with another physical skill the damage of pulse will increase, while the damage of the other skill will decrease. This means that the proration of both of the skills drives the damage of the physical skill down, and pulse blade up. If they were both physical they would both go down, if one of them caused magic proration then the damage would stay the same.

 

yeah dashing merc would be lit

 

thank you vrm

 

Question is: Heavy or Light Armor?
~ Heavy have low ASPD when Light have high ASPD
- Heavy user can't dash frequently like Light user, since you need to wait the normal attack cd to run out (the green bar after normal attack)
- Light user can take advantage from Shukuchi passive (50 ampr for the first hit after dash) when you can dash in and dash out then dash in frequently than heavy user

~ Heavy can't take damage when Guard but Light can't take damage when Evade
- Light user have risk to miss the adtional attack but can use -evade stuff to not or take less that risk.

~ Heavy have more def and Light have more dodge
- More def means less damage taken (which is kinda small)
- Dodge also give a risky chance to miss Zantei

So, what are u guys thinking? Which one is better

 

None of them. No remodel for the win

 

If you will use zentei go no remodel or heavy+giga for the extra def^^ evasion will rip your zentei@0@

 

B bu but heavy looks soo kewl, specially on sakura kimono2, (wish i have a good helm other than sandogsa tho)

 

What is the best and recommended stats for katana? .-.

 

Again i ask has stability and distance from the target been taken into consideration or did you guys just use the skills without taking note of where you are?

 

Ive tested this katana. Damage is seemingly to OP for clean katana +B. :/

 

Phone lagged

 

so guys, y'all 50/50 str dex or str->dex or dex ->str

 

That would be like watching phantom slash in slow motion at a diffrent camera angle and weapon.

 

Yes of course I put it into consdieration; you can test this too if you want to see it for yourself. I do have a corretion to make though, power wave is a physical skill that causes physical proration, but it is affected by proration as if it were a magic skill, not a magic skill that causes physical proration.

 

Confirmed it.
Pulse gets multiplier from magic skills while still affecting physical proration.

 

Yes and we all want that to happen

 

Ok, noice.

Adding the top and the final branch.

 

care to elaborate more ?

 

Zantei is a timing based skill meaning you need to have it as a combo opener (2nd skill in a combo if you really want that smite tag)
But if you use meikyo as an ender you can not use impact to reduce the cost of zantei directly.
In short you will always have to make combos that cost more mp than the ones made by full crit katana without meikyo.
It would be just better to use hasso instead as it does not require any timing so you can keep it in a longer combo.

 

BUMP!
