Melee

Hey not sure if I'm posting this in the right place but... Can someone give me a quick explanation of how melee works in this game? I can do fine with any other type of attack but I don't get how to work a melee character, since when I get hit by melee I suddenly can't even move away but I can't cause this on other people. Obviously I'm doing something wrong o.o

It's all about stunning, if you get stunned first basically just consider yourself dead. Melee is completely unbalanced, just stick to gunning.

Ah so a fairly simple concept of the winner clicked first. Alright thanks, still mostly stuck with beginner guns but starting to get some fancy weapons.

It mainly depends on ho many Rt youve charged. UC melee tends to be rather hard to use (a long time ago most people recommended against melee for newcomers) and usually puts the user at risk. Rt melee on the other hand tends to have retarded tracking, is usually exploitable with a shitty internet connection, etc, etc.

it's not about who clicked first, it's about who lands the first hit. Ranges and angles come into account, as well as tracking cooldowns. If you trade hits with someone who has a longer cooldown, you'll win since you can hit them again first.

Oh so essentially I have to get a RT melee character to be effective. Alright thanks guys, won't be doing much melee for now at least.

not really.... zsg + reaper scythe very effective, lagwarp make it godly

What about the Free Scaregant we got? (I was doing ok with my Nomad before -luckily getting Triz/Axer/Else).
BTW aren't the original Vanguard(Fencer)/Byakkou in shop? (I think they can be quite good if well used)

Haven't actually used Scaregant in arena yet, though I don't really know which bots are considered to be good melee or not. Thanks for the ideas though
