I would take special attack transforming heavy into overhead over cleave! Especially now that Chainaxe has it

This is the big one. I didn’t know if it was possible for them to do it, but now that it is it needs to be transferred to the Crucis ASAP

Crucis having this would be huge

The XV Evis hits nearly all of the Crucis’ one shot breakpoints and doesn’t stealth stun you for 9 years in an undodgeable state while additionally doing particularly high boss damage. Without thrust, it performs on par with the ironhelm on boss damage. That’s baloney.
It even gets to stun the damn things on it’s hit. Saw straight through a crusher overhead and hey if another crusher is ice skating instead of being stuck there you can dodge when it’s done.
That recoil has got to go or the immobility needs to be reduced. 0.5s to attack is fine. 3s to dodge, slide, or run is malarkey. The ironhelm gets to get around this due to a bug that will one day get patched out but the Crucis has access to no such thing and by design is more vulnerable due to not being able to cleave chaff when it goes for it’s surgical strike.
Empowered light attacks in particular are almost laughably weak and there’s no reason one of those things, which can’t even kill scab shooters in one hit, are locking movement for nearly 3s.
I primarily want thrust to go. To hit the breakpoints the weapon is clearly balanced around you need 2.5 seconds of charging the swing, 1s of empowering the weapon, 0.5 seconds of animation recoil and an additional 2.5s of immobility.
This is the longest interaction in this game.
I was fine with the state of the weapon balance before the XV Evis got dropped in. But seeing it do the same things the crucis does while having superior horde kill speed (not necessarily CC though), elite ball clear, hitting the same one shot breakpoints significantly more easily with less time spent is messed up. The only place it has issue in comparison is staggering armor balls. The crucis and ironhelm can still do that… If you slot in hammerblow.
Give it to the light attacks. Empowered light attacks are borderline unusably nonsense anyways. Just create a special profile that an empowered light is just a vertical heavy with a different input. Because there are times when I want to sidesweep into an elite versus an overhead.

It is kind of strange that the new shovel and chain swords can one shot priority targets much easier than a thunderhammer. I’m less weirded out when a chainsword kills a target in one shot than I am when a shovel does it though haha
