DA charges in lockdown not effective
Tue, 05/08/2012 - 11:37
So I was messing around in lockdown the other day doing a "mostly charge" loadout.
I noticed the divine avenger's ("DA") charge was neutered in lockdown in that the projectiles stop immediately. It was as if I was standing with my back to a wall every time, even in wide open spaces. I have yet to try this with the gran faust, or the 4* versions.
Is this intended? Why does the DA get this special treatment while other swords do not?
Would this charge be over powered in lockdown?

The hammer charge is borked
The hammer charge is borked too. It doesn't give you that forward push that moves people.

So THAT'S what you were doing.
I was on a team with him in a couple LD matches, greatly wondering why he was DA spamming, now I know why.
But yeah, I've noticed this as well, less often with other weapons, but most charges (Save for Brandish and few others) Are useless anyway, since they leave you open.
I have noticed that releasing a brandish charge near the point boundary interrupts the charge, same for DA or GF; there really few spots where you have a open area away from a capture point or a wall (Frostbite or Facility). Also, Brandish's charge is less susceptible to be interrupted as DA is.
Someone spamming DA charges surely would be annoying, but not deadly, If I remember correctly getting hit by a flying p****s, I mean "energy beam", automatically cancels it.
