@Bab0osh I do use Kylo often and could probably write the book on best practices; and have game recordings available on my game feed to show it.
i don’t use Freeze + Frenzy; I was using that as an example.
I have no idea why the 3rd strike doesn’t bypass blocks on Xbox; I know that it’s supposed to.
My issue with it (bug aside) is that if you look at every other character they’ve been given modifications to minimize vulnerability when using abilities that might expose them: Obi gets reduction and knock back resistance during push; Vader gets the same during choke (and can now block during), Grevious has knockback resistance during UA... Kylos Frenzy got nothing.
My defense against Kylos works about as well as Lysol .. a well timed dodge + crowd control ability; not only do I get zero damage taken but I damage Kylo and control him. That’s a big exposure! I melt even high level Kylos with this.
By only allowing the ability to be used “by surprise” it drastically limits the proper chances of use and, IMO, the potential REALISTIC damage output is too low to justify the ability as balanced or good.
Kylos 6th card is rarely worth it for me; because of the 3rd hit bug rarely does Fenzy ever do any damage ... I actually have to run the card which enables Kylo to leap further for Fenzy; without it the AOE is so small the ability is almost useless because of the high mobility environment the Devs have turned this game into. The dodge factor has become so prevalent opponents are in out of the AOE before it can be triggered.
The 3rd strike issue is major because at least if that worked the risk could somewhat be justified in that there’s a realistic potential of damage deal but as is now, it’s moot. ... I started to believe the Devs removed that aspect and never put it in the notes.
There are a slew of other strange “bugs”, at least in the Xbox version .. take a look at the clips below. The game clearly “recognizes” the ability usage but applies no affect nor refunds the ability. This happens often. I have posted this various times in these forums to no feedback and no response.
I still don’t know what to answer. The way you’re talking about Frenzy and the starcards makes me think you’re unfortunately missing the real gameplay of your favorite character.
I hope the 1st video isn’t a video of you, because this guy is making a very bad use of his abilities/dodges and has a bad overall positioning. He should have played in a very different way to survive or/and kill Rey. There is a high chance to be canceled when performing an ability when you’re just in front of a lightsaber character because their normal attacks can rupt abilities and this is not a new feature in the game.
In the 2nd video I clearly see a bug, but I never had this bug on PS4 in HS. I play a lot in this mode. It may be a Xbox specific bug.
This will be my last post here. I hope you’ll find the proper way to play Kylo by yourself, may the Force be with you.
