So as we all know, the Troika and Triglav series got a charge attack buff. I have played with this charge change both pre-hotfix and post-hotfix (Which fixed a 'bug' in their charge attacks) and the charge attack is now considerably worse than what it was before the hotfix.

Pre-Patch, there was never any reason to use either of the two swords, much less their charge attacks that leave the user vunerable and impose a movement penalty before releasing it. The DA/Faust did more flat damage than the troika/triglav equal-star counterparts and had charge attacks that were stronger with less vunerability. More than that, the Levithan Blade's charge attack did more damage and knockback than the troika/triglav's charge attack (Assuming you know how to hit twice with the three hits in it's spin attack. It's possible to force) and executed faster, leaving the user far less vunerable.

There was no place for the troika or triglav at all until the patch that increased their charge damage. As a basic sword, they are still pretty useless. But their charge attack pre-hotfix shone light like the sun in our sky. For the same massive tradeoff in vunerability (Making it a bad choice to use against enemies that attack quickly or already are attacking), they were able to nuke an entire area infront of them for a good payoff in damage and knockback. Usually using the charge attack still results in getting hit due to the long windup and downtime so having expendable health is a must.

I know that the above was not intended for the charge attack changes, however it made the payoff and difficulty of using the heavy swords over the other heavy swords more favourable. Post hot-fix removed a very valuable part of the sword's power. Due to the hit that caused the knockback being shifted further away from the initial hit, this knockback inducing, more damaging second hit misses any enemies that are too close to the player when using the charge attack and cause them to simply take too little damage and no knockback. This results in the sword doing overall less damage, yet making them more vunerable to counterattack. I was considering taking the sudaruska in my lineup due to the charge attack change but this hotfix has changed that.

Despite the charge attack change, the hotfix has made the charge attack back into the range where it is unfavourable to take it over a Levithan Blade or Divine Avenger. I am thus requesting that the hotfix change be reversed, as to put the sword back into a place where it has a small niche purpose.
