is there realy a gd time to use the weapons at close combat. i have a god hand which id like to use but when i do use it i get beat up from bein to close to the enemys.
to use a weapon is it best of to have mega defence and evasion for it or if u have that do the weapons still suck
the way you use a close combat weapon is with good ATA. the trick is normal, charged charged, hit z/start run off, go in and repeat. if you miss any of those attacks you are in deep poo-poo!
also, its advisable not to use a single hitting weapon against groups of enemies. use something that will (hopefully) move you out of the monsters attacking range such as a double saber or daggers. if you can then get yourself a /battle unit (not general though) as this will increase your speed. last thing is killing an enemy is a pretty surefire way of stopping them from attacking you, so /power units help.
the god hand is one of the harder weapons to use successfully, but also one of the best so its a good weapon to learn how to use.
so basikly if i use god hand, i do the hit and run thing. it could work untill i get to a group :S
when you get to a group pull out a multi hitter and do the hit and run thing
partisans are REALLY good at hit and run. either that or take out the front one with a good wep and run, and repeat
melee really is repetetice, hit, run, hit, run lol.
yea i kinda like to just sit there an take the hits though. i hit take hit ect lol. makes me feel like the terminator lol.
as it says in my sig, i managed to eventually get a red weapon. red sword. is this more powerfull that the god hand i havent been able to compare them yet. i know i used to use the asuka b4 (still do) but i use the red sword aswell as its more powerfull by a bit, same as god hand. dunno whats overall betta though
i usually figured charged, normal, charged worked good for me. and then run and repeat
You should also have a lot of DEF when meleeing, EVP if you want to use range. God Hand is too hard to compare to Red Sword, however, Red Sword sucks for too many reasons.
I only ever do close combat... Long range just takes too long...
A good Demolition Comet...
And i'm good to go on any difficulty (although a the monkey's bar would be even nicer, if anyone wants to give me it... lmao)
if i were you i would use ranged weapons like handguns with good % since the evp and dfp will rarely be used, as for blade weapons, be carefull when you equip a batle unit, since it will raise your atack speed maybe even too much, when using a partisan,(either with batle unit or not) use a normal, hard, hard.....when using the batle unit, if you try to make 3 normal atacks, you will only hit 2, the 3rd one is stoped by the criatures.
about the god hand (nice weapon) use it on forest, caves or mines, since on the 1st and 2nd zone the criatures do not come in packs and in the mines the criatures fall down (depending on difficulty), on the ruins, avoid using single target weapons, but still the double saber is a good chice for any zone with any atack speed.
ya i dont really like physical wepons, i'd just go with a partazan or guns
