Jikun Melee Guide?

i just got my jikun long, and looking for some pointers here just to find kick vs sword
i don't have extra money so i'll have do with her legs :9

my build right now is standard, only with nano machinegun
so i shot while getting closer before delivering the kicks

now i'm considering to equip 2 shields, but that means i have to give up the machinegun
it's not that good to equip jikuns with ranged weapons, i know
but seeing as i am one of those infamous lagkuns, i can't rely solely on melee damage
my kick never seem to connect even at bulky ART bots, but the W tackles helps a lot
...that, or i just don't know how to use her better

leave tuning and equipments for later, can somebody tells me how to effectively using jikun long's kicks?
of course with some lags in mind -__-

if you're tyring to do a pure melee jikun long.. in my experience in jikuns, two viper shield does the job.. jikun long's kicks are enough to chase and kill most of the arts and air that are grounded but in lnd vs lnd it takes time to accurately hit one because of their speed. If you're trying to have it with a gun, assault rifle pawns it. or you may try to get a kamui staff and chase those bots that are flying.

ah, kamui staff... but i'm too lazy to do the quest XD
i'll stick with her kicks then..

about the assault rifle... is it available at the shop?
i rarely use rifles and such 3__3

Assault rifle is Gaca item aka RT.... >_>;;

For my usage, I just gave my Jikun Long a Combi Dagger and a Buckler, and she'd do ARTs in less than a min *not mentioning that the Combination dagger can be used in combination with the Long Kick*, it is also very nice to harass melee with it, since it staggers teleporting jikuns and Squels at the point of annoyance. But, in overall you'll end up not using the teleporting skills that much. xD and that's where you died. =x

Though, you need RT to get the Combi dagger. Other than that, I do agree that 2 Viper shield Jikun and just use her kick and tackle is quite sufficient.

Oh, forgot to mention that, Combi daggers... after 2 combo, it will initiate the Jikun Long high kick, which kicks ART into air, so after that, I just wait a bit for the ART to come down and cycle the combo again and again - ARTs tend to have low Boost, the kick helps quite a lot imho.

that's odd, why is katana max's head/arm/whatever written as mikado?

mikado max is the japanese name of katana max
