I use to hate the blade dancer but now that I use blink I have a little better time with them. Like the guy said before me go for the head and try and blink away from them. When you do hit them in the head a couple of times, switch to your shotgun and get the quick kill. I am a Warlock so my melee feels it has more range but I don't know that for a fact though. A lot of the people will spam it and swing and miss a lot and use that opportunity to your advantage. I now usually for 1 for 1 against them now.

Lol that's my favorite subclass but when we are blade dancing we aren't invincible. My advice is go for head shots or try and outmaneuver; there is a range at which we can't lunge. Also we are very susceptible to other supers, especially Fist of Havoc and Radiance, the Sunsinger one.

Outmaneuver my ass lol... some of these guys are spasticated and I see em coming after a couple kills and im like oh shit, bust out my shotty and don't seem to do enuf damage before they get me.. probably need to change specs to increase agility but iono. Im a long time cod player and battle field player trying to modify my style to this halo shooter... ps4life

Sorry not sure why I replied twice. And yes the usual bladedance build maxes agility and the super itself has a big boost to damage resistance. I've taken a lot of guys out even after taking a shotgun blast at point blank, they just don't have the fire rate but headshots still work fine. Also besides supers the thing that ends my bladedance most is heavy weapons so if you have a nice belt-fed that works.
