Flourish is the serious lockdown weapon. Cutter is the fun lockdown weapon.

Funny thing. I actually get killed Easier by Cutters than Toothpicks. They're a Recon's Nightmare. Possibly Guardian, too, since they can't block all that Damage forever.

lolololololol Have you (OP) played LD? Don't answer that. You obviously have not.

I think you should rock an Autogun & a Cutter. To be even more fierce, make sure you have either a 4* helmet or armor piece equiped also though (protection is key)...

Go Cutter if you feel like Navi/NyanCat, or swift flourish if you feel like doing good damage. Like Demonicsothe says, go with flourish, it'll help alot.
@BSoD
Autogun and Cutter actually aren't that bad in certain situations, like Ironskullkid mentioned. But 4* gear in T2 LD? IMPOSSIBRUUUU

Did you fellows know that the Spur/Arc Razor can counter the flourish? That's another weapon to look into.
But yeah, flourish is much better then the cutter.

@ Ranger
Arc Razor was my favorite T2 Recon buster, but the update kinda ruined it.

@ Nub
Autogun has no business in LD. I love cutting down idiots that don't get this. Maybe if you manage to work the attack from off-screen below trick, but somebody else will come squire you while you are stuck there. Also, the 4* gear was to bump you into T3 for maximum death (not that DVS & Blitz are much better in T3). Post #3 was pure sarcasm (well not the first bit).

Yeah, Arc Razor used to have excellent reach :/
I've only ever seen an Autogun-line charge pulled off successfully in LD once, it was mostly normal attacks. But what I don't understand is why people use it in the middle of a melee. Ikr, my pic response was supposed to acknowledge the 4* gear advice lol. Cutter's more for holding players off for a short while in LD, from what I've seen, to get a bit of breathing space. Autogun would be purely for support at a distance, preferably with knockback in a tight corridor. Best suicide weapons against the legion of wolver Strikers lol.
@OP
Another sword that is quite popular in Lockdown alongside flourishes would be the heavy 2-swing swords, favoured for their wide arc and heavy damage, which can be invaluable for and against most LD players. You may want to look into this too.
