Hey – Enjoying the game much more since Hotfix 2, just wanted to share some feedback while trying to live my best life as an imaginary villain from a Jim Carrey movie – regarding my experience with Reibach’s Claws.
I’m just gonna say it. These weapons are kind of terrible.
[-insert extra tiny font here- I am also terrible -end tiny font-]
Pros:
- They do some pretty good damage.
- The animations look cool.
- I am… THE CLAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Cons:
- No charged attack.
- Enemies seem to think I am more like some kind of adorable kitten trying to make biscuits, and completely ignore my damage output and I have to trade almost every time I use them.
- Animations are long, and you are locked in for the ride.
- There is no jumping anime jumping cross slash X pattern slashy attack of weeby slashyness. This would be such a cool charged attack. This would tickle my inner child.
I can be absolutely MELTING an enemy with these, and enemies just do not even skip a beat. It might be because they stagger a smidge in the first part of the attack… and the attack animations are very long – so usually what winds up happening is that by the time the attack finishes, the enemy is already contacting my next of kin.
I could probably play around this at some point once I have fancy pants gear, but it’s one of the first claws you can buy, so I was a bit sad at my overall experience with them after getting my Dex guy up to be able to use these things.
Could be a skill issue for sure. But I’ve been getting absolutely farmed while using them, and not really having any major problems with most of the other weapons I’ve tried. Would like to see these things get some love.
TL;DR – Trying to combo attack with these things is almost entirely pointless cause enemies just slap you out of your second attack almost 100% of the time, and that seems like a crime.
Cheers.
