  • In this video I talk about the recently unvaulted kinetic blade and if I think it is worth using in Fortnite Chapter 6. This is one of the most loved mobility items in Fortnite history but with how many other mobility items we have in Chapter 6 many players have decided to choose others instead. Let me know what you think of the kinetic blade down in the comments below!

    Hello jake, i just want to say that i improved a lot watching your videos. I started playing fortnite just this year so i naturally gravitated towards zb since building mechanics require a lot of learning i feel like. Ive hit elite in the avengers season but i was just cheesing with dashes auto turret and shield. This chapter i kinda struggled and mostly camped. After watching your videos though i became more confident in pushing people and initiating fights, turns out when youre initiating they arent so scary anymore! Today i got my first victory royale after countless second places and i think your endgame video really helped with this. Im close to champion now! Thanks jake im big fan all the best to you!

    I give the kinetic blade a pass. When you use it for movement you’re stuck in the animation and very vulnerable. Shockwaves or the typhoon are better. You can at least switch weapons in the air.

  • @musclehunter1853
    @musclehunter1853 Місяць тому +3

    Thanks Jake and agree, still feel shocks and mask are the way to go. IMO seems a bit pointless bring kinetic blade back when we have the typhone. Yes its a little different but not enough to warrent having 2 swords in the game. If they had introduced different swords that all have didferent abilities that would have been better/make more sense. Even though i rarely use the swords lol

    Why does epic games keep adding old items to the game that were NEVER OP... and NERFING THEM... they just about have a track record for this already... its ridicilous.... as Jake said kinetic blade is decent in everything but not outstanding in any 1 thing... it has a wind up animation and you are vulnerable, the reason it was so popular is because it was infinite uses and fun to use... and now they go and ruin that.... even with infinite uses people would prefer the void mask and shockwaves and yet they NERF it, what the heck?

    @medhue Місяць тому +1

    Having the Oni mask solves a ton of issues, especially in end game, so I would prefer to have 1, but outside of that, I'll take any combo. I still haven't really mastered shockwaves, hence why I don't prefer it. Plus, it is just fun using either of the swords. I'm considering making a UEFN BR Island where the swords are the main weapons, and no guns. Just bows and crossbows for long distance.

    Joking aside I think loadout depends on how game is going. Sometimes in a smaller circle or if the person has good long range, I'll pickup close range items and push... I've beaten cheaters this way as they don't expect mask, sword shotgun all to come out.

  • @olive0209
    @olive0209 Місяць тому +1

    Completely agree with your analysis. I was playing earlier and was using the kinetic blade to reposition from a third party. Since the Kinect blade needs a sort of charge before you execute the mobility. I got melted by the third party with the holo twister. 😂. I’m happy it’s back but I just think it’s not well suited for this season since the holo twister is just too busted.

  • @lordgrimoz6085
    @lordgrimoz6085 29 днів тому

    I run dual swords, Kinetic for travel and a great knock back defensive item. The other I use for movement, and follow up attack after kinetic knock back. You can also combo the kinetic and typhoon for fast controlled escape from third party. I have a clip of the use of both to take out two solos both tracking me rather than each other.

    Great video Jake. I was wondering if you thought the season would become more balanced if the spawn for the void mask and typhoon blade both went down and the kinetic blade spawn went up (I like the fact that you can push with it but the balance of you are exposed while traveling more than the void mask) or do you think this would just be like the jet pack in the previous season where if you didn't have the mask you were just severely at a disadvantage?

  • @ericzuellig8631
    @ericzuellig8631 Місяць тому +1

    I try to use shocks, but my ping goes crazy sometimes and I can't get the timing right, so when that happens I try to use the mask and the typhoon for mobility, along with cars. I like having a few shocks at endgame to send people flying into storm.

    You can use shockwaves against another player pushing them out of hiding. With the Oni Mask I've tricked players attacking me behind cover. I'd send a teleport near to where they are taking cover, to force them to move out of cover.

  • @mayasmayhem6449
    @mayasmayhem6449 Місяць тому

    Durability might be the solution to the "spamming the sword" problem whenever swords are in the game, if you could only eliminate a couple players with a sword before it breaks, and more cost to spamming it, players would have to at least think about using it strategically.
    I would adjust melee item durability so they can only bring a player from full shields and health down to nothing 2-4 times before breaking. I would also have different damage rates for what you hit. I'd quadruple how much durability the kinetic blade has now for mobility, adjust melee durability to be 2.5 players from full health+over shields before it breaks, make connecting with an object/wall one half of connecting with a player, and no cost for swinging and missing.
    Also every sword would have very interruptible animations, like getting knocked out of the sky when hit, and the attack being interrupted when hit. If you are spraying someone with a blade it should be in practice a 50/50 fight just as two shotguns are a 50/50.

  • @Da_Pizza_God
    @Da_Pizza_God Місяць тому

    Imo they should either make it so each dash only loses 3 or 2 durability(idk what the attack durability but they can just keep it the same) and if they want to make it on par with void or shocks, they should gove it 5 charges instead of 3. Even the durability change will really help this weapom

    I love the kinetic blade, even tho it has durability. I think my mobility this season is gonna be void mask and the kinetic blade bc imo the kinetic blade is better than shockwaves. Even with the charge up time, it’s never gotten me killed, not even in the higher ranks so it isn’t that bad. Plus, you don’t have to constantly go searching for another blade like you do for shockwaves, and there are many ways to be unpredictable with the kinetic blade just like with shockwaves. Imo, the tier list for mobility items this season are:
    1. Void mask (one of the best mobility of all time)
    2. Kinetic Blade
    3. Shockwaves
    4. Typhoon blade
