Baal Omniscient L.O.T.I.S. Legacy Rising 264	Posted - 2013.03.04 13:39:00 - [1] - Quote Note: To all people who have trouble with Nova Knivers- When you see one but he's too close to drop him before he lands an attack, run at him/her, but just to the side. Running past them means they will have to either recharge since they will likely release when you get close, or they will have to try to melee you with them. Don't try to out-strafe a scout knifer, it won't work. Try to get either above or below them so that they have to aim up or down to connect, this makes it harder for them to hit you in most cases. It works best when you can strafe up and down a hil, because they have to keep re-correcting the height of their aim. Get above them and jump over them when possible. If you can jump over their head and turn in mid air, you will have a second or so where you are facing them but they are not facing you. Vital anti-anything tactic, get behind your enemy. Throw a grenade at your feet and just stand on the other side of the blast zone. Strafe around the blast zone to give yourself some breathing room. If they end up in it, they are dead, so they have to either back up or try to run through it. This isn't 100% since they can run through it, but just remember they are thinking on their feet too, so you have about a 50% chance of this working out well for you. Best of luck to those non-knifers out there. And to the knifers as well I suppose.

(assuming you are looking at them!) Maken, it has been far too long since we teamed up. This must happen again. Not entirely true, I've seen what Nina Karne Clone did last build with those things. You can max your melee skill, max your catalyzers, and totally bumrush people when they see you. I had SEVERAL run-ins with that build before the reset, and it is VERY effective. Thus, my strategies for going up against a smart knifer.
