🧐👍 yeah it's always something to learn about bouncer in different ways. I'm thankful for the update. Hopefully more to come.

[@zqkku]

I have been playing only sb bouncer since it came out in ngs, so getting used to these changes are gonna be hard. Also, do you still recommend abusing double counters or should i just only WA now since it resets?

[@AzariusR]

I think it's much easier to just utilize BAPS when doing PAs, and only double tap for counter if ONLY you need to close gaps or you are heading into a Multi-hit situations where you need to change to Step Dodge Counter. Just like how Krono had stated, activating BAPS like Ultra Instinct by just playing it.

I love the SB changes! it feels like i can customize my playstyle more also the weapon is way less clunkly. i like to harrier->pheasant for stationery DPS, harrier->raving for chasing dps, raving->harrier for long range. the weapon action is great for strafing inbetween PAs as well especially at long range. Just have to get used to not sneaking in that in between WA after PAs now since it causes me to get launched off my position unexpectedly like 90% of the time lol

[@kadjaft]

Fanatic Blade and Pinion Blade are the 2 best changes overall imo. Huge QoL improvements that mesh well with the weapon.
Second to the counter changes. They feel super good too!

[@Brown95P]

Who knew simple changes like turning the wep action into a dodge, making fanatic blade work on PAs and pinion, pinion itself giving PP back and arts parry resetting on successful parry could make soaring blades so much better.
Maybe l should be looking forward to these class expansions despite the disaster that was ngs gunblade.

[@asterisk606]

I'm with you about the Soaring Blade changes. My two wishes are also for BAPS to have been removed, and for the new weapon action to be able to cancel into another weapon action without dropping (small height decrease is fine). You showed the normal attack trick to retain height, but it still would've been nice to chain the weapon action like ranger can.

[@lapisfengari2428]

I really hope the vertical tracking on Pheasant gets fixed because I had one instance of being taken extremely high above Solus when it was downed and I accidentally pressed the Pheasant for the first half instead of the second and it was one time too many

[@raevenent751]

I'm loving the current Soaring Blade changes

[@megataizack4531]

Yeah, type 3 rampaging harrier does make both PA between SA & JB feel faster.

[@CRXII]

Just upgraded to tisah on bouncer and liking the update now I feel like baby etolie a lil but I like it much more now I went to play slayer heavy because of how bouncer was

[@crmzntears]

Bouncer is so sick now

[@spark9189]

the 4 things that i want changed from here are 1) remove baps, 2) make hybrid better (this one is much bigger than the others), 3) make photon blades restore more pp like in base, and 4) bring back soaring blades tackle

[@AzariusR]

Those can be streamlined in the future sure.

[@AzariusR]

I think everything is pretty nice except maybe the weird Pheasant sending you away to nowhere, but that can be useful to home into targets higher than you (just make sure you are not too close to them or you'll end up under their platform lol). BAPS requires skill but with how they make WA auto dodges yourself back or left/right, it is much more accessible now and encourages more usage instead of standing still FB doing nothing. Though yeah we missed yhe coolness that was standing and firing constant blades, at least now it is more active.

[@user-jv5zm4zq7i]

Should I be using grand dread keeper for bouncer using bo/sl? Or am I fine goin straight pot

[@spark9189]

oh god the pheasant bug is armored core 6 laser sword all over again

[@masterforte4590]

What is this camo? 😍 is it tradeable?

[@darionkendall6167]

I feel like I’m the only one who’s worried his weapon camp cause I need that

[@OKSEIN_EDEN]

[@nDVSTRY]

You looking like a keyblade weilder now lol

[@AzariusR]

Well a waifu keyblade wielder yes 😂

[@vegitohaze2081]

Delete multiweapon, I dont wanna use type 2 harrier instead of JI. Jet Boots deluxe relying on SB is the one thing I wanted to change for boots, nothing more. Both weapons should be max dps on their own without relying on another weapon. Idc if SB does more damage, but I don’t want to use them when im playing boots.

[@spark9189]

back in my day (base pso2) you had to switch between boots and blades every 60 seconds to have max dps
