Suicide is now the best way to counter Spectral Blades
No joke, my buddy has a 5 year old son who is fascinated by Destiny. He was running crucible the other day, popped his Spectral Blades, and handed the controller to his son. Little dude got 3 kills just mashing away at the buttons. Skill-based pvp, lol? Currently, there exists no counter to Spectral Blades. None.
If you're ahead on points, best option is to just suicide yourself to preserve the win.
-
Suicide is never the answer.
-
I saw a man earlier get killed by the Warlock’s nova warp melee, yeah the melee that pushes you, dumb little Hunter got launched and smacked into a wall and died mid Spectral blades lol
-
1 RispondiGolden gun usually works for me.
-
6 RisposteSpectral is good and all but as a sentinel main I bully them, either suppress them, or I pop my super and block, they can't touch me, and if I get wardcliff they dead
-
6 Rispostecounters for spectral blades carry a tractor cannon and horde heavy, run golden gun or run middle tree sentinel
-
5 RisposteI just hate how hunters kill me with spectral blades on one side of the map [spoiler]just to kill me on the other side of the map the second I spawn[/spoiler]
-
1 RispondiMy best counter to spectral blades is the Lord of wolves shotgun paired with my attunement of grace warlock paired with the sanguine alchemy . pop an empowering rift, see through walls including invisible spectral blades thanks to sanguine alchemy, stand your ground and 2-3 burst the spectral blades into oblivion. This is my counter to all close range roaming supers. Hope people try it out because it's extremely satisfying. ✌

4 RisposteTeam shots , tether , stun grenades , Titan smash the list goes on .

I genuinely have no respect for people that jump off the map in order to not die from a super. If you have at least a sliver of skill then you should at least try to kill the super. You should try it, its not that hard
-
I think the main point is that a suicide costs the team nothing and the opponent gets no points. Seen a team today completely wipe to avoid getting killed and opponents getting points. The score was close and we had two zones with 30s left in competitive mode.
-
Thundercrash shuts things down pretty quickly. I run it in crucible because I love to just mess with people running roaming supers.
-
7 RisposteYes spectral is pretty op. But the one thing many of you don't admit is that you don't even bother to team shoot the spectral down. You just run. They can die easily if your team shoot them down.

8 RisposteModificato da Gonchin: 4/11/2019 2:52:15 AMBungie actually aknowledged that spectral is OP. It was hilarious how each class has different treatment. It was in their twab about arc week. It was very funny how Nova warp got completely destroyed overnight, no suggestions taken or given. Just splat, sht all over the carpet, drapes and ceiling. Meanwhile at the front of the bus, Hunters' completely overblown super got a paragraph along the lines of "We have seen done data, it seems Spectral is just a tiny bit strong (but likely due to crybaby Warlock and Titans bias). We are going to be extreeemeeely careful about how we touch spectral blades, as we collect more data about it."

2 RisposteModificato da Puma Kane: 4/11/2019 12:56:33 PMI just dont think it's as bad as people are making it to be. It's a pain, but what super isn't? Personally I hate the panic button Blade barrage more than I do the SB.
-
There are definitely counters. They are just impractical and usually not worth the risk. Nova is probably the best, but a good SBer will be able to zip zip zip zip right out of the way and leap 500 meters into the air to kill you after you miss.
-
I play hunter and even i'll admit Spectral Blades is broken.
-
5 RisposteLucky and Buttwipe (LAB) recently did a video where they would go up by a kill then repeatedly suicide until time ran out to win the game. They did it to show how broken it is and Bungie is 100% aware of the issue but not a single -blam!- is given.
-
6 RisposteHunters are like the starter class for people who have no idea how the game works. [spoiler]Change My Mind[/spoiler]
-
Wait for Revelry where you can get faster super cooldowns. Spectral aids is on your a** now.
-
I find the same vs most roaming supers tbh, e.g dawn blade
-
31 RisposteI get killed in my spectral blades all the time. It's so weak and needs a buff to compete with all the op titan and warlock supers. I am a hunter main with three hunters, which are the weakest class and take the most skill to use. I don't have a warlock of titan because I could never bring myself to use something so op. Please buff hunters. [spoiler]Just kidding, I typically get 3-6 kills with my spectral blades and the amount of supers I have shut down with it is insane. People who say it's fine are just people that don't want their crutch nerfed. [/spoiler]

6 RisposteSerious question, why are you complaining about a super you haven’t played against in over 3 months...
-
2 RispostePersonally, i just think supers damage reduction should be reduced across the board.
-
Most supers dont take skill to use in crucible due to 70% damage resistance... they made supers casual friendly and this is the end result. GG bungie.
-
There isn’t spectral blades in the ascendant realm! Checkmate hunters!
-
So when they nerf it are you going to go back to complaining about how OP Arkstrider is?? Or will it be Golden Gun or tether next time around? Asking for a friend...
