LOLavenger is linear, and you have to stand / jump far away to use it, if you punch anything, you can't spam Avenger. Because of it's slow speed, it's incredibly difficult for a NL to do this PQ. Jump-Avengering helps a bit, but it only attacks a small amount of monsters, depending on how far they are, as well as the monster's hit-box size. I'll have to retry again, but on my Bishop next time..
Sure we NLs suck in there, but only a nibskull would use avenger instead of taunt.
edit: Of course being 133 probably means no points on it.

Now imagine if I weren't capped at 4 mobs on my first attack, I had Final Charge/Toss/Blow for more Range after a Triple, a higher level Body Pressure so it could get me kills and I didn't have to constantly recast it, I didn't keep casting Booster over my -4 Speed Bonus, and I didn't have to pot so damn often. Soon enough, Kaida, I shall be on top! <insert maniacal laugher here>
Turning combos finally have some form of convenient use! Hooray!

You just.. answered your own question. It was either that, or Triple Throw. You pick, bro. Sorry if I can't use skills that I don't any SP allocated into. That and I know 0 NLs that has more than 'lv 1' Taunt before lv 140.
Secondly. Taunt's damage, even when maxed, is such a joke. I'm surprised you implied people actually use Taunt as an actual attack. Then again, it would OHKO those monsters anyways. But I doubt you'll get past 3000 spamming Taunt. <_< It takes a couple seconds to use it, because of the 'animation'. GL2that, bro.

the problem was that the button that nexon put up for the pyramid to be use is up + down + ctrl whereas the real combination is up + down + attack

I don't get it ._. how do you kill 800+ more than I can. Even when I ignore the yetis entirely and just kill whatever I want, I'm not even getting to 4000.

At this point I want to blame lag for a lot of my double/triples actually hitting the same monsters.
I dunno about Body Pressure, I've never seen it hit anything except yetis. Generally the stuff near me is not a problem to kill.

Having near perfect server response time helps a lot for this PQ. If monsters don't die immediately after you aran's attack they will be hit twice and waste time =P
Yay for living in brazil, far away from the server...

Taunts damage is of little to no interest in the pyramid. I never implied people used taunt as an actual attack and u sure as hell wont get more kills trying to use avenger. You fire off 1 taunt per second as compared to 2 avengers, which most likely gonna be a poke because an enemy is hugging you anyway. Finally, I most certainly aint no bro. What I am is a lvl 18X Night lord that got there by playing, not sucking ulti spammers, so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to using my character. I was just trying to help you make your NL less useless in there, not to lecture you..

There's two methods I use. One is Double Only. The other is Smash.
Double Only consists of me Jump Shooting + Double Swing (Yes there is a difference). I use Combat Step to travel, and take advantage of the slight height from the small steps to dash forward. Usually two Doubles on each side and switch, sometimes just one. I find it more efficient than just Triple + Attack. Less messy, more control available. I have the Yetis follow behind me and jump over them.
Smash is the same thing except I jump into the center and Smash to the side I'm not ploughing. I usually just camp right spawn, jump to middle after I get 30, Smash and get 10 Combo, Attack + Double Swing gets me back to 30, if not Attack and maybe Double again, repeat. Body Pressure helps gain the extra hit some times for Smash. I jump over the Yetis again to make sure I don't waste too much of my Smash on missing.
Triples are rarely ever used except on stage 1 where it's just a spam fest, no Smash unless you really want to catch anything that may happen to swagger past behind you. I usually don't.
I save my Pyramid attack for Final Stage/Second Last to kill some Double Yetis that bother me. Otherwise, I usually have one left over for the final second.

As far as I could tell the Pyramid attacks don't even count for kills? I only used them in stage 5 because the Yetis are more annoying.
My kill count goes something like this
Stage 1 - 800
Stage 2 - 870
Stage 3 - 900
Stage 4 - 950
Stage 5 - 820

The big problem in stage 5 is that I lag disproportionate to the number I can kill. In stage 3/4 I can pretty much fill up my 30 with one Triple if I cast it right as they respawn, in 5 it always takes 2 Triples, sometimes a 3rd. Double/Triple also seem to fail more in the 5th stage, which I think is cause the number of spawn makes my computer laggy.
Correct me if I'm wrong but attack+double = max of 16 hits, so how do you do a Combo Smash with 26? I think I would notice if my normal attacks hit more than 4 targets.

My bad. I do two Doubles I guess. Depending on the situation, a single Triple can fill it after a Smash, though if I do do that, it's only in stage 2.
Pyramid Attack gets you kills as well as Combo.

Been so busy lately I couldn't do the PQ. Not a godly amount of kills like you all because I'm using godly SLASH BLAST, but I had an awesome time doing the PQ. I got a Dagger Attack 60 too.

KaidaTan Wrote:I still have no idea how Cool is obtained.
I don't know about spawn, but Ice and Fire are a cool 540ms per cast and 6 monsters each with no minimum range. Combine that with the mobility of Recoil and I'm doing pretty well. I'm tempted to try a set where I totally ignore the stupid yetis and just miss a lot. I've only gotten to go in twice because the damn thing is always full >.<
Are you talking about ice splitter and flamethrower? they seem to be awefully slow to me, am i missing something here? it can't be 540ms per cast. Torpedo seem to be casting at a better speed than ice splitter or flamethrower for me.
4528 was highest for me on ice/lightning arch mage.
32xx on BM, maybe i'll try again with the puppet trick on the yeti.
35xx on corsair with torpedo lol, crazy speed with -4 booster.
I love the Blizzard speed on my AM with the -4 booster too xD

My score should speak for itself. Next goal: Beat Rei's score (haven't tried yet).
