Knuckles better with or without Shukuchi?

Hmmm, I have been playing knuckles as my main weapon from day 1 in Toram.

Shukuchi from the Mononofu Skill line is great but.. sometimes, it leads me directly on enemy attacks, especially when they suddenly spike or do a fast blue area attack.

So I am thinking... I can replace it with Slide from the Martial Skill tree or Flying Kick from the Crusher Skill tree.

Well the downside is definitely MP cost, but what do other players think?

I am open for suggestions if there's a good info for some other skills.

Thanks.

 

You can chose to get both.

Slide have 8m range for 1MP Floating Kick have 7m for 2MP, Shukuchi have 24m range for 0MP.

The main advantage of Shukuchi is you can use it as long as you are within 24m and doesn't have Slow debuff which is its weakness. Movement-type skills like Slide, Floating Kick, Backstep, Triple Thrust, Sonic Blade, etc, etc are not disabled by Slow but are restricted by MP.

You see where I'm getting at? No need to rely on one type of movement all the time. You can take Slide which doubles as combo opener and rush skill and Shukuchi.

owo, oh so as long i don't get slowed...
hmmmm but sometimes.. even if not slowed.. the character refuses to dash maybe because of skill usage? or because my shukuchi is level 1 only?

Shukuchi level 1 is fine. If your dash doesn't work, then take a step back then click the action button again, this is like resetting your shukuchi.

With regards to a spike or blue aoe you mentioned, you just gotta learn to pull, to halt your shukuchi.

Take the slide skill as well, its a good opener. ^_^

 

Shukuchi activates only when you are outside your attack range. most knuckles have 1.5m attack range, but some with blade extensions have a little more.

 

What he's experiencing does happen. There are times shukuchi refuses to work, that's the time you reset your shukuchi. ^_^

 

oh i see, thanks for the inputs then.

 

Np. ^_^
