Anyone got information on knocking fist

any information regarding it would be nice. IIRC it has lightning like effects?

is that the one where you put all your energy into one part

yeah the naruto thing

That’s Impact Fist. Knocking Fist is built around Berserkers being the rushdown play style, with a high amount of hits in quick succession paralyzing players.

so like

is knocking/water gonna be any different from sailor/lightning or

Probably won’t be as efficient since the status is only implied to be active after getting enough hits.

it’s either going to be incredibly busted or totally useless place your bets

  • Busted, meta-changing
  • Actually garbage on release
  • Incredibly busted and nerfed day 1

hmmm

calling it now

knocking fist + crystal becomes some sort of meta

Depends if knocking can proc lightning synergies or if the lighting-like effects are just visual

somewhat related but is thermo/water any different than fire/sailor?

thermo/water can inflict both steamed and seared while fire/sailor can only inflict steamed

I wanna assume at some point thermo/water was better but because of how badly they ruined thermo fire/sailor is technically the better option

It would be better or at least equal if thermo didn’t receive 50 billion nerfs prior to the introduction of seared

Vetex said it’s not being added anymore

where did he say that though?
it seems like a relatively interesting fighting style, it would be pretty unfortunate to just throw that away

I can understand karate, since it would just be like basic combat but gets better damage on grabs and stuff.
knocking fist sounds quite on par with the other elemental fighting styles in terms of gimmicks

it could be like the counterpart to iron leg, where it’s faster but has less damage, but also doesn’t have to rely on a resource bar

Ah yes, because the ideas behind other styles aren’t basic

Yeah but they are the first fighting styles so of course they are gonna be basic. Vetex likely wants the higher level fs to be more complex and interesting

If that’s the case, Karate could probably give some passive Resistance because of it having some focus on stances. As for Knocking Fist, it could probably be changed to focus around always landing hits, since it’s current concept is Thermo Fist but better.
