Atleast now there's a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE from the highest enhance weapon and the normal enhance, giving the players a reason to aim for the stars, instead of just speed.

Speed has a huge impact onsome chars gameplay ( so much so that some chars become really strong on high speed ) and thus overall damage. The difference between a +15 and a +19/20 is not only speed ( again ) but also a tremendous amount of add damage. Yea ofc not many people will get one but this together will no animation potions/add damage on armor give us a feeling of what they are trying to turn the game into...

Overall the update is pretty nice but that enhancement/additional damage part is a disaster. The idea of an average player ( skillwise ) with a +20 being able to literally destroy veteran players using <= +15 weapons make me sick. To make it worse they grant you more cores for dealing 40% damage in a pt raid. I wish Vindi would actually reward people for their gameplay ( We all like vindictus for it's combat system, right ?... yea let's not forget about fashion too ) instead of urging them to overgear themselves.

Just Wow, I couldn't believe what I was reading until I read this

I'm leveling my Fiona alt to 90 for the event

It has no range and does worse DPS than amaranth kick [ Blossom Blow ]

Help, how can't you expect a 2nd smash to deal more damage than the 4th smash ? You are right the jump is flashy and useless.

Amaranth kick is cringey bad, it is incredibly slow yet does not hit very hard at all by itself.

Just no comment ...

Shield deflection is an odd skill, given that counter attack is superior. It is incredibly niche, since you can stop in the middle of combos to quickly block attacks with your shield anyway

Not really, what if you are in the middle of doing an amaranth or spinning ?

Shield bash is still useless, especially the two additional hits which are terrible DPS and take far too long to pull off.

Shield bash has invu and lets you go almost straight into amaranth kick at a low sp cost. Also Shield bash is pretty good to avoid being eaten by lakiora or getting grabbed by Yohaad, just saying.

The main issue with counter attack is that it has no I-frames so when bosses spam fast multi hit combos, you can only counterattack the last hit in the combo

It really comes down to your att speed. Also counters damage is pretty significant and why would you like it to auto aim ? The first counter goes in the direction of the damage source just aim the second one. The ability to aim counters gives more depth to fiona's gameplay against some bosses just like in this situation



Counter attacks have many advantages over cross cut, even though both abilities work based on countering attacks they are vastly different due to their mechanics thus comparing them in a simple isolated example is not relevant at all

Chaining CA -> Amaranth kick is great damage...except for the lack of I-Frames preventing you from doing it most of the time, such as when the boss finishes a combo then suddenly does a backswing to hit you while you are winding up for an amranth kick.

Having i-frames on amaranth sounds crazy to me. Why not just deflect that said backswing and get that sweet 50% damage bonus or even pull off 2x amaranth ?

Slashing high is a terribly inefficient skill for its SP cost

This skill gives you +20% speed for 20 sec as well as giving you infinite stamina and you call it terribly inneficient ??? I would love to know what hammer players think about that

That being said, you can't make such statements with that little experience you have playing fiona. Most of what you said is just so wrong, maybe you just feel better playing vella, in that case keep playing her and have fun

Hello everyone !

I am a fiona player from EU and I would like to share with you my youtube channel I started not long ago where I post solo videos. I love running solos, I find it very challenging and entertaining ( duos also, so if anyone from eu is interested in running some duo raids just call me ! ). I hope those videos might be useful to you and I'll try updating the thread as often as I can ( with other raids or better performance on the raids i've already done ). I'm open to any feedback and tips you might have for me, thanks and enjoy !

Ps : I play vindictus with a 360 controller
All of my solos are unbuffed ( no dmg pot ), not using any consumables nor pots. Stats are in the description
