Twin Saber: favorite PA?

[RufuSwho]

Just want to know what the favored PA for Twin Sabers is.

Anyone who has experience with all the Twin Saber PAs:

Best for single enemy?

Best for group?

Can anyone describe the ultimate PA as far as usefullness?

Thanks

1) Assault Crush
2) Assault Crush
3) Splendor Crush is one of the worst PAs in the game. Cross Hurricane is okay.

Best for single enemy: with one target box would probably be assault crush.
if the enemy has multiple target boxes or is a large enemy (komatoze drua gohra etc) then cross hurricane or even rising crush, but assault crush could still be used here if you have it at 21+

Best for group: depends on the group but again assault crush works well at 21+
cross hurricane and rising crush are also good for certain groups. (cross hurricane can be interrupted though and most likely will depending on the enemies, because it's a long PA)

Ultimate PA's usefulness: well cross hurricane and splendor crush are both technically UPA's cross hurricane is pretty good, strong and flashy, you just have to know when/how to use it. splendor crush on the other hand is fairly weak but flashy, i dont really like this PA and enemies just kinda laugh at you when you use it. it's not really good for much of anything. others might disagree though but i haven't found a use for it lol.

Yeah go get assault crush, Cross huricane works real well on AF since they have that extra speed, as FiG I almost never get the cross of on most creatures, but as AF I get it off about 75 percent of the time.

Single enemy: Assault Crush, looks cool, does some serious hurt to some of the games "harder" enemies.

Large enemy: Rising Crush for the knockback effect, or Cross Hurricane for lots of hits.

Ult PA's.
Splendor Crush: Epic fail PA, why i got it to 40 i don't know.
Cross Hurricane: Get this, it's handy. And it's cool.

I actually didn't like Assault Crush, I don't know why. I use the other three, though, and I must say I get the most use out of Rising Crush on all my "fighter-type" chars to keep most enemies off balance. Splendor was just for show and I use it on weaker enemies and, due its rather weak power, only my CAST uses it to make up for it. Cross Hurricane is very nice, I just try not to get knocked out of it with my WT's evasion and all... ^^;
I prefer Rising Crush or Cross Hurricane for any Twin Saber using situation. ^^

Perhaps because it's expensive, slow to level, and hard to learn to use?

It's still the best though :3

lol yeah.

it was fairly hard to level until 21. after that it levels FAST. mine went from 21 to 40 in 2 days of average use.

Assault Crush
Rising Crush
Cross Hurricane

Splendor is just pure fail

[Kylie]

This is hard. Twin saber has all good skills, in my opinion.

But it's CH > AC > SC > RC for me, I think.

[Syl]

I like Cross Hurricane, but mostly only when I use it on aF because otherwise it feels too slow for me.

[RufuSwho]

Thanks for the input everyone.

[Micro]

I'd say... Assault > Rising > Cross >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Splendor

[Para]

Assault is the best. Rising is situational but works well mostly. Cross Im not sure I haven't gotten around to work on it. Splendor is just fail.

CH>AC>RC>SC
I like splendor, it just isn't very useful.

I prefer Rising for mobs because with assault you have to get to the third part to really control the mob, while with rising you just wade in and swing away.

Assault is what I mainly use for monsters with multiple hit boxes, such as kamatoze, because it hits em fast and hard.

Hurricane...It's just that awesome.

You're probably right. I know it does great damage from what I have seen my friends do.

[Gen2000]

Visually: Assault Crush (I just like the last part mainly) or Cross Hurricane
Usefulness: Assault Crush or Rising Crush. Only thing I hate about Assault Crush is that on non-FF classes burns through PP insanely fast.....even on FFs it's kinda bad too.

[SStrikerR]

^ Skill save unit?

[Gen2000]

...or Photon Charge.

[SStrikerR]

Surprising how little people use them nowadays.

edit: Oh yeah most people used to be PA spammers. Lol.

Cross Hurricane > Assault Crush > Rising Crush > Splendor Crush

I use Cross a lot, its the strongest of the twin saber skills when you count the full combo based on how many targets and the atp modifiers further in the combo. 1st 200%> 2nd 250% > 3rd 340%. Cross hits at least two targets on each phase of the combo, it is slower then Assault, but your hitting more things, I really just use Cross on multi-hit box enemies or bosses.

Assault is the fastest of the twin saber skills, it looks good, but only hits single targets and gets progressively weaker further in the combo. It goes from 1st 255% > 2nd 215% > 3rd 195%.

Its been awhile since I used rising, but it was good to keep enemies off balance, the first part is rather slow, launches, but the 2nd part you can actually sweep around 360 degrees and launch enemies encircling you, the 3rd part scatters enemies so that wasn't as useful.

My favorite is Cross Hurricane, try it out. Oh, the modifiers are based on lvl 40 skill and as for splendor... it just looks too gimmicky, based on that I didn't have any interest in using it at all.

[shotsfired]

Cross hurricane, then cross hurricane. you dont need any other one. I LOVE THIS PA. it looks cool, and does kick ass damage. it reminds me of Majarra for spears. your FF will own

[Lakjosmaysa]

Assault Crush>>Rising Crush = Cross Hurricane>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Crap>>>>>>>>>Splendor Crush

A. Crush, R. Crush and Cross. H are ALL awesome moves. But Splendor Crush is really...the worst melee PA in the game, there is absolutely NO USE for it.
