Grimden Tips

KMonk

* Grimden deal least damage from the front of the target, then more from the side, and most from the back. It will show yellow damage numbers when hitting from side and back.
* Active and Devastate fully charged (and not on cooldown) will hit single target from its back ensuring the most damage.
* If you hit normal attack and hold, it will launch the target and if you smash immediately, it will do a jumping down kick.

some strategy i use for grimden

dodging on bosses's odd/even hit
-1-hit [rear block]
-2-hit [dodge, rear block / rear block, aerial evasion]
-3-hit [rear block, dodge, rear block / dodge, dodge, rear block]
-4-hit [dodge, rear block, dodge, rear block / rear block, dodge, dodge, rear block]

-basically end with "rear block"

works well almost all bosses
-rear block > aerial evasion > dark charge
-smash after dark charge is dps

hopefully grimden gets a revamp because some hits cant do "rear block > aerial evasion"

Thanks for your useful tips. I just trained my Grimden to 90 and I have to say that he has an excellent movement skills set. Maybe they are the best for now. However as melee class, with low invulnerable frames of Grimden, you need a very good computer to able to handle him well.

remember 'dodge after aerial smash' is faster than 'blocking after aerial smash'
