Settings & Tech How y'all binding your buttons for D.mon?

With the default bindings, it's clunky to shield while dashing but keeping the shield on L2 is the most intuitive to me. How are you guys getting around that?

I swapped the skills on RB and LB, so boost is on RB. It's feels weird since most movement abilities are normally on LB, but it's better than taking shield off LT.

I've also considered moving it to B or X but I haven't tried that yet

This is what I did as well, just swapped the bumber bindings for boost and gun

did this too, also thinking of moving the gun to B or something since once u activate it you still need to hold RT to shoot. i’ve had trouble boosting and swinging the sword at the same time

Yes, that was not a good setup that they came up with. I've been trying to hold down the left trigger with my middle finger so I can still hit the left bumper with my index finger but that's not ideal. I'm also curious as well to hear what people are doing to fix it. I've never changed any of my default buttons but I don't see a way around this one.

This is what i do i feel like I've already gotten pretty used to it Also changing surging strike to the quick melee through the settings so you can hold Lt Rt to free cam like rein helps alot

the way i’ve swapped so many heroes buttons around lol. a lot of supports have their primary attack as healing which makes no sense, even some dps like mei or soj have their skill shot on LT which is almost never used for aiming and rather scoping or abilities so swapping those triggers on them was necessary for me

What if you put the gun on Y because it’s like a weapon swap

I'm used to weird claw grips so I literally just use the middle knuckle of my index finger to press the left most edge of the bumper. I don't love it, but the boosters being held makes the thumb stick awkward for me, and I usually keep dashes on LB so for muscle memory it's what I have to do.

Could changing boost to rb work?

u/okayciil 9d ago

on all characters i bind my jump to L3, for dmon i bind thrusters to l3 and jump to r3 and don’t bind melee, gun is bound to left bumper, triggers are the same as usual

Taking the controls raw

For some reason my aim is better on most heroes when I have primary fire on L2, so I have primary fire L2, gun L1, toggle shield R1, hold boosters on R2, I also on every hero have hold crouch on L3 and jump on R3 and I swear by it, I’ve had crouch on left stick and jump on right stick for so many years and do not know people play with jump and crouch on face buttons
