DomiSotto Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I have been trying arenas yesterday, and ran against a lot of Blade Dancers. I am unfamiliar with the class, and was wondering if there are any tips to prevent that thing they do when they completely disable the character. Any quick tips on their skill set would be appreciated as well. I gather they are invulnerable while they spin, so getting the heck out and Q-ing the cat is Okay?

Duh Harro Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Ok, I've fought a lot with BD and they all have somewhat different play styles. First of all, this is the rule of thumb for every class, spec trinket (for summoner it's skill 2 when you're cc'd) so you'll get out of stun/daze/kd and DONT WASTE IT JUST TO GET OUT OF 1 STUN/DAZE. I REPEAT, DO NOT *cricket*ING WASTE IT. They spin doesn't mean full resist, for the 1st .5 sec it's a counter and resist to daze/stun, after that, you can knock down (KD) him with cat's Ankle biter or Beckon tier 3 stage 2. The same principle is for Destroyer If you happen to be knock up and combo'd press F asap because most of the time, you might be combo'd after with a HM Lightning draw and stun. That's the 100-0. And even if you got combo'd, now it's the time to use the trinket If they grab you and put the sword on you, use your trinket and after use 3 (rose petal) to heal back up If they grab you cat and throw it away to sleep, during the animation of the cat being thrown away, you can use E (Beckon to recall you cat). And if they succeed in doing so, try your best to stand next to your cat and you'll be fine (If BD engages they will most likely hit your cat and wake him up, thus, defeating the purpose) If they grab your cat and start killing it, your best bet is to use Z to heal the cat and spam your Q until it works to mitigate the damage on cat. Cat is dead means you're half dead If they grab you and do nothing, they might be baiting your trinket, and if they put you to sleep while trying to kill the cat, Q him, if that's not possible, you might have to use tab and save the cat If they're dumb enough to spin near you and hit you, use 4 (Dandel) for free stealth to re-position and heal for 5% Recognize their skill, if they have a barrier and sword flying around them, dont bother to attack, and just run away. If they slash their sword horizontally about 3 times (?) they are full resist during the entire animation and they heal if they hit you, so use 4 and they will waste the heal It would be very helpful if you have HM rumblebee ( Many way to obtain it, Achievement vendor, Zen bean vendor, AH), Ankle biter tier 2 ( Disable their approach skill if it hits, meaning they won't be able to dash to you) and Flying Nettle tier 3 stage 2 (Same anti-approach) Hope it helps.

DomiSotto Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 Thank you for the write up! I will watch out for the animations you have mentioned. I have a feeling I will see them more often, as there seem to be a fashion for classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
