Critical field ring will also push your crit rate to near 100% for very similar uptime with LB, which also beats using the crit rate S4

Any combination of Flicker+BHS or SC0 for bosses, Ducking for extended iframes.
Flicker/SC/Quake Howling for trash mobs. But honestly for trash mobs DS is generally better.

Generally speaking - DS for immobile targets, TD for mobile targets, Knux for overly aggressive grounded targets, but it's mostly case by case basis.
I'm assuming from your question you already know...

I see Knux discussion which just makes me want to rant about how one of the strongest weapon by design can be shafted just because there is no content that favors its niches, which puts it in a very...

No a blank tree isn't

So that means I have actually been compromising my DPS by deliberately going for the fake whiff it seems, its actually pretty hard to notice with all the particle effects at Deus. As for CR consuming...

Pretty sure so long as you can always keep 2x gear 3 kamaitachi up any combo with CR will always outdo any combo without. Assuming it's against a straight out punching bag like Magatsu I believe it ...

Iirc, Chaos Riser linking from Illusion Rave usually does not fill gear back to full before the next PA actually because one of the 2 kamaitachi from Rave would have ended mid-CR, so the following...

^ this pretty much.

Just adding on a bit to the bossing segment, Fake Capture has really high DPS too, but on some targets is hard to connect a full hit because of its slightly wonky hitbox, but...

If you have orbit you should have full PP at the start of every DPS window. PA usage basically entirely depend on length of DPS window.

If the window is short enough that you can purely spam BHS...

With the 5 additional skill points, is it a good idea to go for LB 10 now? Or is it better to just throw those points into getting Step Adv/Deadline Slayer/Chase1.
And the /hu side? Max out Fury...

Sounds like you are using 2 buttons palette, and it's probably a case for not doing TAJA comboes with Knuckles. On 3 button palettes it's not BHS > normal > normal against Flicker > BHS > normal, but...

Went on a hiatus for quite a while, and used to run a pure Knuckles build before. Heard that DS are now really good so I got myself a decent DS and a kamaitachi ring. As a pure Knuckle user back in...

The main reason for sway > BHS is for PP regen in between. With the multitude of PP regen that Fi has, it is perfectly possible to squeeze in a few BHS within the same PP bar

On that note, what is the primary method or recovering PP using Orbit Knuckles? Do I spam normals or just LA cancel for the sheathed PP regen? For some weapons like launchers and DB it's quite obv...

Yea definitely take TAJA PP Save; its really good. Aside from the obvious benefit of getting free Flickers from TAJA-ing, an oft-overlooked aspect of the skill is that ducking blow is basically a...

I only started rotating knuckle PAs recently after 3button controls came out. With TAJA PP save, it is worth it to rotate PA just for more sustain. For instance Flicker BHS basically cost as much as...

According to swiki it is 17%

Ducking blow's strength is not DPS but rather a safe choice for bosses with easy to read attacks. You can for example just pop LB at Zigmorde and not get hit just by timing shift>ducking
It's a...

Flicker > BHS is what most Fi do I think. Personally I like to use uncharged Slide Upper for BHS because it edges you slightly closer to the target.

Straight Charge > shift > Straight Charge...

The only reasons why ppl use shift btwn BHS spam are:
1. To recover pp btwn BHS
2. To reset pallette to slot 1, so to save PA slots

I understand the LA cancel for Orbit, but you do lose the PP gains from normals. For some reason I am under the impression that Austere will probably recover more PP during LB+PPC because it can...

Doesn't Orbit freeze PP regen meaning ppc only works when not attacking?

I did some calcs a while back (page 314), and had similar numbers. It is pretty inefficient to max out Invade bc it is only ~1% stronger than pot1. Ares still win any day.

Highest DPS combo should still be BHS spam

BHS > Flicker/Slide (Uncrafted) > BHS are about the same in strength, but I always find Slide better for setting up BHS because it edges you forward a...
