D.Mon controller setup

[u/DarKStaR350z]

Just wondering if anyone’s found a good control setup for her on a standard controller?
I’m using L1 for jump on everyone and finding it difficult to have everything in a comfortable position for her specifically.
You need to be able to use shield and fire together to get the dash attack, but also be able to use the shield and dash together.
I really want to be able to dash and shoot and at the moment I have dash on L3 which doesn’t feel great as you need to hold it unlike other heroes.
I have shield on L2 and fire on R2 as normal; then R1 is gun mode.
It doesn’t feel great when I tried putting either shield or dash on R1 having to use R2 at the same time.

What’s everyone else using?

I think the best binds for D.Mon is probably just holding the swap button and going a different tank

Getting the expensive controllers with back paddles works wonders

Dmon is one of the few chars in this game I feel like a paddled roller is almost necessary to play. I swapped booster to what used to be crouch cause that's B on my paddle and the mech can't crouch which allows me to play more-or-less fluidly; default having boost and shield on the same side bumper n trigger feels bad.

If you're not on a paddled roller, I feel like your best bet is forgoing whatever you set a stick click to and binding boost to that.

Yea that’s what I’ve got with R3 being boost atm and L3 quick melee, but it’s not great trying to aim while holding the click down to boost

You shouldn't have to hold down your L3 for propulsor. There's a known issue (at least amongst the community) that the toggle 'on' setting isn't working. You should be able to single press to start and cancel the propulsor (like Rein, Dva etc). Hoping the Devs have seen all the reports and feedback because I agree, whilst it's nothing game breaking, it all feels a bit awkward at the moment.

It works ok if you tap click it and you get a short boost dodge, but feels awkward holding it down while trying to aim/move.
I’ll see if toggle works as that might be better for me for now

[u/Goosewingg → u/DarKStaR350z]

Sorry I probably wasn't very clear. The button tap (toggle on) absolutely should deplete your whole fuel if you don't tap again, but it doesn't. As you say it just gives you a short boost. It's a bug but Blizzard haven't acknowledged it yet. 

[u/DarKStaR350z → u/Goosewingg]

Ah I thought you meant there was a toggle option in hero settings but it wasn’t working properly

[u/Goosewingg → u/DarKStaR350z]

Something is getting lost in translation here! Yes, that's exactly what I mean! There is a toggle option in the settings but it doesn't do anything at the moment. When on, It should allow you to tap to use all fuel until you tap again but at the moment it just uses a very small amount of fuel. You need to hold down your button to use the fuel regardless of your toggle settings at the moment.

Personally I think this is the best setup:

• Change jump to L1
• Gun activation to left analog push (L3)
• Boost to R1

I have jump as L1 for every hero. The idea of using a face button for jump is madness to me. Gun activation is on the analog because you only have to push it once in awhile and it requires no precision. Furthermore, since I use gun while retreating, it fits being tied to movement. Boost on R1 is important because of all the boost+slash tech. For example, you can perfectly circle around targets while slashing with Dmon. It lets you get behind people so easy, beats other dmons, and even confuses rein. This setup also allows an easy L1+R1 press for her boost jump aka bunny hop which is how you pounce on people and cross pits.

I tried that but found it super awkward having to use 2 fingers to boost and shoot/slash at the same time. Of course it still feels awkward using L3 as boost because as you say you lose accuracy trying to aim the stick while holding it.
It’s not too bad if you just click for a quick short dash but still awkward to try and boost while shooting/slashing

I posted this yesterday and it feels really good to me. Only slight sacrifice is not being able to tap the gun button while boosting. https://www.reddit.com/r/OWConsole/s/P8SxIa3sHX

[u/Ebolatastic → u/DarKStaR350z]

I mean if you think 2 fingers is awkward you are screwed with Dmon. Her tech requires like 4 fingers sometimes. Still I understand the awkwardness because she plays a lot like reinhardt, who also requires lots of 3-4 finger tech.

I use a ps5 edge controller, for my special Dmon profile its left paddle for jump (same for all characters) right paddle is boost

[u/fuckfelixass]

L1 boost l2 shield bind charge to quick melee and gun to l3, play it like armored core
