3. Advanced Maneuvers
- Build & Spec
– MS : GP03S
– Role : Sharpshooter
– Skills – Medic / Mind’s Eye / Identify
– Parts – 4x Sidestep Invulnerability Up 0.01s / HP / HP / Range / Melee - Standard Combo without Quick Cancel
– Command
Standard – Standard – Sidestep – Standard – Standard – Sidestep
Pros : Simple and Easy
Cons : Lowest DPS , Very low balance damage
You can’t use this combo in hard mode since every enemy has high hyper armor, and they will ignore your standard attack and counter attack you as soon as you perform standard attack.
- Perfect Standard Quick Cancel
– Command
Standard – Sidestep
Perfect Standard Quick Cancel stands for standard attack quick cancellation with applied damage.
If your standard attack has applied damage toward your target, also if you’re succeed on your quick cancel, it’s a perfect standard quick cancel.Pros : Initial attack for highest DPS combo, able to change position, shortened recovery time
Cons 1 : 50% of boost guage consumption
Cons 2 : Many Sharpshooter and Infighter type MS can’t perform this. Most of Multi-role can only perform while on their role-action buff. Only Certain MS can do this ( Ex. GM Sniper , GP03s etc.. )
- Cancel Combo 1 : Initial Cancel Backstab
– Command
(C) Stands for Quick Cancel Command
Standard – Jump (C) – Forward Sidestep
Initial combo for the backstab position. This combo will move your MS’s position right behind of your target almost instantly, and your next following attack will be considered as a backstab attack ( 1.33x damage )
- Cancel Combo 2 : Special Cancel Combo
– Command
(C) Stands for Quick Cancel Command
Special – Jump (C) – Charged Special – Landing (C) – Charged Standard – Shooting (C)
Ground Combo for chain special or charged attack. It has a fairly high DPS and very high balance damage for as a non-sub attack. Also this combo consumes fairly low boost guage, and you can change your position with extra sidestep between quick cancel.
- Cancel Combo 3 : Full Backstab Cancel Combo
– Command
(C) Stands for Quick Cancel Command
Standard – Jump (C) – Forward Sidestep – Charged Special – Land (C) – Special – Jump (C) – Charged Special – Landing (C) – Charged Standard – Shooting (C)
This Combo 1+2 Full combination. It has high dps and safe to chain combo against high balance target like hard mode enemies. You can keep stagger your target and also you can appli fairly high amount of DPS with low cost of boost gauge.
- Cancel Combo 4 : High DPS Burst Combo
– Command
(C) Stands for Quick Cancel Command
Standard – Sidestep (C) – Shooting – Standard – Sidestep (C) – Shooting
This combo has highest burst DPS ( 2.5x dps compare to the standard combo ) . But also it will deplete your entire of boost gauge. Therefore choose wisely your moment to use this high burst combo. I recommend use toward stunned target who has fairly low HP that you can finish with this combo.
- Cancel Combo 5 : Aerial Cancel Backstab Combo
– Command
(C) Stands for Quick Cancel Command
Launch ( Charged Special ) – Jump (C) – Standard – Forward Sidestep (C) – Standard – Standard – Sidestep – Standard – Standard – Charged Special – Landing (C) – Shooting
This combo will considered aerial + backstab combination. basedamage * 1.33x * 1.20x will be applied. With this areal combo, you can kill all kind of non-boss enemy in hard mode.
- Shooting Sidestep Cancel
– Command
Shooting – Sidestep – Sidestep – Shooting – Sidestep – Sidestep
( Sidestep can be performed up to 5+ time between each shooting. )
( You can perform this maneuver while reloading. )You can perform chain-sidestep as much as you want. But for my personal perspective, 1.5x speed is enough for boost gauge exhaustion. I use this only for boss battle, and for me, it’s very seldom to use this against the regular non-boss enemy type.
- Sidestep-Guard Cancel
– Command
Sidestep – Guard
Your guard timing will be right after Sidestep’s end. Not right after sidestep’s starting moment.
This will make your sidestep distance longer with an inertia effect, and also protect you with guard command. I often use this when I’m charging against ranged type of enemy to save my boost gauge and protect my MS against enemies shooting.
