ive noticed in alot of my runs that alot people dont really know how to use their charge attacks for their weapons the most effictively i.e attack with calibur charge and miss by a hair because of lunge and leaving yourself open , thats why id like to just state some small facts that any new or old player might need to know(i wont be posting how to use gun charges mostly because theyr really the same in my opinion excluding silversix, and blackhawk but ill post some techniques i use if you want :B)
1.Range:(obviously) know the RANGE of your charge attack this is crucial if you want to pull off a charge attack withoug leaving yourself open to attack
any easy way to do this is kite your enemies in a clockwise motion while your walking in a circle charge your attack and as soon as your enemies are
right behind you make sure your directly in middle of the mob because ive had experieces were i go a little to the left and leave my slef open to attacks
from the right and so should be taken notice this also depends on your type of enemy your facing obviously if its a bunch of jellies just run in a circle and
get your charge attack in the middle now if your facing say a group of lumbers its best to only use this technique if your weapon has a knockback like a
calibur or heavy sword i wouldnt really suggest using a spur since its charge attack is atrocious but its normal attack makes up for it if your facing a
wolver or volver alpha youl want to wait till theyr either in a ball or inback of you and right when you trigger your charge attack turn around and as they
come to attack you theyll in turn get hit by your attack but i can stress how much you need to know the range of your weapon itll not only help you but
probably save you from certain death
2.Damage: this ones kindoff a gimme because i doubt your going to be able to walts right in with a proto sword (first weapon you get) into the jelly
kings chamber and kill it so for damage this would probably different for every tier then there would be different elements and such but if you want a
good weapon with decent attack and a good charge look no futher and whip out your handy dandy calibur the calibur comes with its own spin attack
*cough*zelda*cough* and it lights up in the dark :D but in all seriousness this is going to be your bread and butter for most of t2 and if you choose to
get a leviathan blade or cold iron itll still have the same charge attack from what ive been told (i have ascended) also just incase your wondering cold
iron doesnt have max damage but does increased damage to undead type monsters also most charge attacks should do a pretty good damage so youll
want to wear armor that increases you elemental i.e chromalisk set + ascended cali = 170x2 against jellies
3.Gear: this is kindoff a gimme too since most weapons have charge reduction time and youll basically gather heat like nothing so i suggest just have a layout of what armor your going to need like heavy demo if you use bombs or magical set if you fight alot of elemental monsters so it will help to prepare so far ive seen that wolver set has an attack bonus low so you might want to get that just for the extra attack \
4.Crowd control: this one would fall more into a bomb category i suppose but im just throwing it out there if you have bombs just use them and skip this if not then keep on reading ..........ok so like i said above know your charge attack and range these are key factors in using crowd control a good combo is someone charges up an attack and when you knock the monsters back have someon be behind them and use their attack right after yours creating a sort of game of catch after that just spam normal and they should be taken care of if your soloing i would probably recommend taking your time and blocking alot and also keep your distance (also just incase you need a bomb for specifically crowd controling i suggest get a graviton bomb this bomb is wayyyyyyy underused i think ive only seen one other person with it besides me its basically a black hole and causes hight damage and itll suck anything in its radius )
5.Plan: if your going to spam a gate (jelly) know were the monsters will spawn and charge your attack before entering the room not only will this give you some room to breathe but itll soften up the monsters for you party members also if thers a room were monsters spawn from buttons have your someon press the button when your right in the middle of were the monsters will spawn and unleash an attack this works great with a calibur and basically just plan ahead of how your going to do your dungeon and how yoll act it out
well this is all i have if i missed anything plz post it and if you guys want a bomb or gun one i can do that just ask so far all of this is from experience and should be pretty basic for now, also check the wiki for armors you might want or think will help you pull off
This seems like a great guide but it would be much more accessible if your sentences were neatly organized!
