Skill discussion We need to find those iframes.

Please read everything before posting.

Dragon Strike: now attacks twice, amount of monsters hit has been increased from 6 to 8
Assuming that dragon strike kept its current damage output it would dish out about

864x2=1728%

NEW SKILL: Energy Blast(aka laser beam): With the transformed spirit, energy is shot towards enemies and hits up to 8 monsters for 475% damage 4 times, 30% chance to increase energy by 90, can only be used when energy has been gathered (master level: 30)
Laser beam: 475x4=1900%

NEW SKILL: Fist Enrage(I rather call it fist of fury like iron fist in UMvC3): along with the Transformed Spirit, attack an enemy for 238% damage 8 times (master level: 20)

238x8=1904%

NEW SKILL: Double Spiral: Summons the Transformed Spirit to dash towards the enemy and hit up to 6 monsters for 630% damage while rushing them (master level: 20), Screw Punch can be used after this skill.

we need this skill tested for iframes with combinations of corkscrew, fist of fury, and DS. hopefully someone can throw up a video soon.

It would be like iframes with other benefits, lol. (Maybe like the new Assassinate Points system with Shadowers where you can convert your points into a buff or use it for Assassinate.)

LOL! True xD[/quote]

That would be sick! I really like the idea of us correctly timing a defensive skill so we can return some massive damage. It's quite interesting, I'd love to see something like that being implemented!
*Feeling like a noob for never playing any defensive class in DMC*

[quote=Tersera]I agree that two could be enough but it's two of the same move =/ although if that's all they give I would prefer a Royal Block in exchange for Willow Defense.
What do you think? [/quote]

Ah, I was unaware of that, as I have not looked at the other move xD .

Or perhaps, if my memory serves me right, an Instant-Transmission like skill, like you've suggested a while ago. When I read that idea, I was totally for it. It'd be sick~

I can't find any concrete proof that we still have I frames. From all the gameplay vids I can find. Our new barrage is too fast to allow for an I frame, and CSB now pushes the mobs a good distance infront of us so we don't end up kissing the mob after using CSB.

I could be wrong but again, I never saw anything in the gameplay vids that would lead me to belive that we still have I frames

[quote=Amped]I love the frames that allow us to be in a state of invincibility. <<< Useless comment.

I don't know. I think 2 iFrame moves are decent enough.[/quote]

Anything that moves your character's x-value will provide iframes. So that's Corkscrew Blow and Double Spiral.

From what i've seen with Fist Enrage, it's just the animation that makes your character lean forward and step back to it's original casting position so it's not actually the player's hitbox moving so you'll get hit when you spam it endlessly unlike Barage which slightly makes you character move forward.

So Dragon Strike is a definite no.
