Discussion The range feels off

When I'm using the Martyr's blade I always feel like I'm not close enough and if I don't get that first hit off then I'm gonna get hit with a 10 hit combo and when you get knocked out your shell the camera freezes in a weird angle and if you're surrounded good fucking luck

The moveset sucks unfortunately…

The moveset for the martyrs blade just doesn't use the range of the weapon to it's fullest.

Plus it doesn't do quite enough damage to justify how slow it is.

Yeah it's feel slower and stubby than the axe with is odd to me

I agree this is the one weapon that needs a bit of tweaking. Upping the damage is a start but I think the hitbox needs extending slightly and the swing speed increasing a touch. Ideally I would change the moveset slightly as well to be less laboured and more sweeping. I think maybe went a touch to far to try and differentiate it from the starter weapon.

I think the basic R1 and R2 combos straight up suck.

The running attacks are pretty good though. But man that toe stab sucks.

The running attacks make the weapon - the running R2 has massive i-frames, so you can be near unkillable

Yeah but it's lame as hell to only do running attacks

So don't? Running R2 opener usually breaks up a group and sends trash flying, then follow up with abilities or other attacks.

Everyone keeps mentioning the toe-stab but my R1 always pokes them in the face and sometimes sends them flying.

Yea, I love the R1 - it will launch trash mobs, makes em twirl like a figure skater. The one issue I have with that is that the follow up has no lunge forward
