Ok, so I got myself the Wild Hunting Blade, and so far, I really enjoyed using it, although only on certain instances.

But I'm curious about a few aspects of the sword:

1) What's the attack area of each of the strikes anyway? Is it the same as the Combuster (approx. 2 squares in front)?
2) Will the 'wolvers' shadow strikes face the other direction from their respective first sword strikes?
3) Is it normal to hear a whine instead of a roar when the shadow wolvers appear?
4) How long does the charge attack animation take?

I know this sword might not be the best one, and I know people might be rolling their eyes and say "Why the heck would you get THAT trophy sword?" but I'm determined to master its usage as much as possible.

Answers will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance~

1. It's about the same as the combuster though many a bit less.
2. That doesnt matter since they all hit the same spot in front of you
3. Not sure
4. Charge attack takes about 3 seconds

Thanks

Well, at least I get a clearer picture about the attack mechanics.
Still, for (4), what I meant was the the total time taken for the charge attack to finish once you've started. I had an Elite Quick Strike and CTR med on it, so the charging time is about 1 sec for me.

Iirc the swings are the same

IIRC the swings are the same range as Brandishes but the Wolver bites have absolutely pathetic range.

Edit: stupid autocorrect. Fixed errors with post

@Trying -
Oh, ok. I misread 3 seconds as 5 =w=' Now it made much more sense XD
Thank you, now I should be able to plan my charge attacks accordingly.

@Otaia -
Yeah, after testing it out, the wolvers only attack that spot in front of you. Kinda limited actually.

Actually I edited it after

Actually I edited it after doing some tests and noticed my guesstimate was a few seconds off and to clarify the post.

The wolvers are exactly the same as the shadow swing the cutter and striker have. It has a shorter range and cant even hit the roarmulous twins
