If you macro Leap Tornado, you can double cast it in a single jump, and execute it immediately after Rolling Moonsault. If you're really good, you can use it immediately after an Acrobatic Jump and travel just as fast across the map while attacking. You can also use Leap Tornado after using Stylish Move up a rope, but you can also press the macro while you're climbing and the second you get to the top, you'll Leap Tornado without jumping. There are some maps with ramps that you can spam Leap Tornado on without needing to jump. I recall an area at Blue Dragon Turtles on the right, on the thorned branch, and in El Nath at the Yeti/Lycanthrope maps I was able to do it on the bridges.
Gust Drive is important to be used immediately after this Leap Tornado or after Rolling Moonsault to maintain 100% invincibility frames. I don't know if it's just me but I can't use Charge Drive after Gust Drive if I have it on a macro. It won't autoexecute after landing, and I can't spam the key to activate it either.
Ok here's a few question regarding your macro'ing tactic, and hope you can help me a out a little here pal. So yea as you said I need to macro the skill Leap Tornado and Gust Drive, how exactly do you mean to macro them? Do you put the skill Leap Tornado twice in the macro button? Like Leap Tornado, Leap Tornado as a macro? Or you have to fill them 3 up with all Leap Tornado in one macro? Thats the confusing part. And also what about the Gust Drive macro, how exactly do i need to lay it out? Can you explain or take a SS of your Macro window so I know what to put exactly to use these skills efficiently. Thanks!
JoeTang Wrote:Yes, it requires Booster.
After Gust Drive, you have to spam Charge Drive for it to activate correctly and it doesn't allow me to do this with a macro hotkey for some reason. Otherwise, you get a huge delay if you try and don't activate Charge Drive correctly. You can push the Gust Drive macro immediately after jumping, and it will activate when you reach the required height, but macros tend not to work if you're pushing any other button at the same time, so try not to hold down the arrow keys while you're jumping, or if you are, spam the pomegranate out of the Gust Drive macro.
After Rolling Moonsault/Leap Tornado, if you hold down left or right, and spam Gust Drive's macro, you can change directions in midair.
Gust Drive also links into Lightning Edge, and Lightning Edge links into Charge Drive, and they should execute faster because of this. I haven't researched how much delay is cut out though, but I'm looking into it. I didn't actually know this until a few minutes ago and I'll try it out on KMS to see if it's anything special.
So after the rolling moonsault and leap tornado combo, is it still possible to activate the gust drive macro? Do we have that much air time to perform all those? And also how did the Gust Drive>Lightning Edge> Charge Drive links work out for you? I hope you can share all your knowledge so far with me so I can enjoy my mercedes at her best
