Highlander and Squire questions

Hello folks!

Q1) Skull Swing really DESTROY the enemy’s shield? If I use it against a Rodelero:

a) His shield will be removed;
b) The durability goes to zero;
c) Just shield’s defense will be affected;
d) Just the character’s defense at all will be affected.

If the option c) is the right one, may Skull Swing doesn’t affect a two-handed sword Barbarian, for example?

Q2) Can arrest affect companions on PvP or only players?

Thank you!

This is actually a good question in relation to Skull Swing. I’ve been wondering this myself as well.

I also wonder how long it lasts. On the Skill Simulator, there’s no “debuff time”…but more interestingly is Vertical Slash has some tie in to Skull Swing and says “Deals additional damage to Medium and Large monsters according to how much defense they lost from Skull Swing”.

So does Skull Swing drop defense as well and prevent guards?

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii—…That reduces a RIDICULOUS amount of defense.

Guess that makes a lot of utility of going Highlander C3.

@FatePGN, how do you feel about this?

WTF!!! x.x that is some insane attack speed

Hmmm, that’s a lot more recent too. Definitely doesn’t look like they nerfed it.

That’s actually GREAT news - Completely reduces the need to go Rodelero for that defense reduction attack and makes Highlander C3 > Hoplite for shield and piercing attacks MUCH more viable.

Also, his Cartar Stroke hit a stupid amount of times.

Spoorek, his “attack speed” was his skill Moulinet.

Finally, a third Skull Swing usage for damage comparsion (between 00:00~0:40, monsters have a SS icon below theirs health): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3TZdVOPdec

In every boss battle she used too, but we can’t compare the damage

was highlander not as great before? because everyone seem to say they they “buffed” them

Yea, they have less defense than those hard-shell bosses she was fighting…Even still, it made her Cartar Stroke do stupid damage.

@spoorek Highlander was on point but they gave it 3 more attacks that do a LOT of damage. 2 more attacks: Cross Cut and Sky Liner at C2 which are both heavy 2-hit attacks and CAN ALSO OVERHEAT…AND they synergize with eachother…(Crosscut creates a debuff - Bleed, that makes Sky Liner hit harder). It also gets an add-on debuff synergy attack from Vertical Slash which is a quick and powerful downward AOE strike at C3.

@Excellence, Is really Vertical Slash an “AoE skill” too? I thought it has a limited range like Thrust.

Oh look, @GoldenCross is talking about Skull Swing here:

Well, for a while I’ve just question Nº 2 XD

Yes
Arrest can affect companion
for example, at pvp you can aim at companion and bind enemy players nearby

Thank you! Arrest would be too OP if it only affect players @@

Highlander is great, definitely one of the more amazing swordsman classes if you can manage to go 3 times with it!

Interesting, so the 50% damage attribute on Cartar is per pushing wave…which means it hit for a lot…

Well…now I’m feeling slightly conflicted…

I wanted to go Highlander 3->Squire/Cata(for the mount)->Centurion (the wing formation defense reduction…) partly to avoid the Barb bandwagon crowd…

But now it seems Highlander will be the next wagon…
