I'm experimenting with a sprinting ninja knifer and having mixed success. I'm hurting a lot more since moving from a skilled alt to my main who is yet to skill into knives but think it'll be the best approach in the long-run.
One minute I'm single-handedly killing a heavy, assault and a couple of scouts (I don't expect this to be typical of opponents I can take, they were just bad) and capping an objective... the next ten minutes I'm getting one-shot as soon as I spawn. Getting the hang of this is going to spoil my KDR forever, but that's okay. It's the most fun I've had so far, playing with a number of different builds. I'm probably going to run a logi for SP/WP and then run randoms as a ninja once I've hit the SP cap for the week.
ETA: Not actually specific to the knife but in a scout suit with a couple of kinetic catalysers, you can pretty much run circles around everyone, poking them with blades. It's badass. |

Pro-tip: you can beat someone shooting you open field from 10 yards away if you're fast enough. Takes some practice..
If you zig-zag asymmetrically towards someone at max sprint, you can close the distance without taking too much damage.
If you start sprinting as soon as you're hit, you can often circle around anyone faster than they can accurately turn and then backstab them. WTB backstab bonus. |

Hey, I've got a bug report thread about being able to swing my knife after death. Have you encountered this and if so could you deal damage? Thought you'd probably be the most likely to have run into anything to do with nova knives. |

Have you encountered this and if so could you deal damage? Thought you'd probably be the most likely to have run into anything to do with nova knives. Maybe. If you're talking about mutual kills, then I had a couple of such cases. It seems to be chance based.
What I'm experiencing is being well and truly dead, ten seconds into waiting for a medic and then I release the blade I had charged before I died, visibly swinging it at someone. Sometimes I can even charge it again after this.
Will experiment more and update the bug thread, rather than hijack this one. |
