Sword vs Lance

Well, it can also have the side effect of teleporting the grabbed target really far away, if the enemy position is sufficiently de-sync'd for other people
But that's true for Pickup Throw and Cruel Throw as well

Nova Strike is the charge PA that isn't Rising Edge

Spinny sword PA.

Sword has a dash kick, so the obvious answer is sword.

[UnLucky]

Wire lances have the unfortunate side effect of teleporting enemies all over the place because of the client sided enemy placement

At least with most other weapon PAs, only the drops teleport if you don't get the last hit.

Spinny sword PA.

Not descriptive enough...

I'm going to assume it's the horizontal AoE one that I never use.

@Angelo:

The one Zeno/Xeno uses. Chargable horizontal AoE swing that knocks enemies back.

Well, i stopped to use wired lancer. Heaven fall was ok, but the rest of the pa wont let your team hit the enemys and they will get mad on you. I prefer sword for bosses and partisan for the rest.

The issue with the PA's is that the boss has to stand still, although, the point blank grab is fast enough to usually hit where you want it (especially when Ragne is roaring, shooting discs, or fallen over)

Well I never use them on a boss acctually, only time I did was when I had to do Josephs CO's (16min Catadran, 70 dragonkins + 3 Vol Dragons etc) and to me it felt like I was pretty useless cause I couldn't manage to get my PA's to work and my Daylight Scar is pretty weak as well so it felt like I couldn't do a thing. Guess I need to practice with them a bit.

I noticed that as well and to be honest I find it quite annoying...It feels like Tornado Dance all over again x.x Sega should get enemy locations server side and not client side. Desynch sucks as well.

It's the horizontal spinny attack that you don't use but really really should. With 3 gear bars nothing outdamages it.
