Martyste Tendertail
With an helvetia like that i would go 1:12
Simaf
I was almost at 1:12 sadly ... :/ A first try rome skip would have been enough...
Noxus94
Okay, seriously, is there any reason why some of you waste time on the first Greece fight to get the combo bar full? I can't see any point in wasting that time, since you get it back absolutely nowhere
Noxus94
What am I missing that makes it worth for you guys?
yarnfang
IMO... It's not.
yarnfang
If anything having full combo bar makes setting up Tardis harder.
Noxus94
not sure if it makes tardis harder, but at least you really don't get any time save from it :/
Martyste Tendertail
Makes it way less likely to mess up the fight
Martyste Tendertail
But I admit i could need to train that again
Noxus94
how does it make it less likely to mess up?
Martyste Tendertail
You bash faster so you can eliminate small romans fast before the tall ones can hit you
Martyste Tendertail
Remember it's a bit tricky to grab a tall roman when there's another one close
Noxus94
problem is rather that the tile there is so extremely uneven, that you can't grab them sometimes because they're ONE mm above you just one step further -.-
Martyste Tendertail
And that allows me to actually use that Power Hammer and justify its purchase with some timesaves
Noxus94
power hammer doesn't save time. the four uses you get out of it only get you the time back you wasted by filling the combo bar. If even that
Martyste Tendertail
It's faster to clear the last patrolling roman with a power hammer propelling you to your next platform than grab-launching him
Noxus94
that might be true, but you still only save the time you wasted before with that. Nothing more
Martyste Tendertail
You find yourself in front of 2 small romans or more, without a tall one in reach, it's easier and fast to bash them in max speed bash
Martyste Tendertail
So even if the two strats end up even, the combo variant has less chances to mess up
Martyste Tendertail
I'll try both again and see how good I can be in each situation
