Tech i forgot to add: - You can Slidehop while in Block to circumvent the walk speed limit. Tech i learned about since upload: - Best Method to keep basic Dash Speed is to Dash and then jump into a slide. This jump also let's you tap-strafe out of the dash - You can block in Deathbox with toggle ads - You can cancel the Limit Break animation by interacting with a Zipline + other activations/interactrions

Imagine if the sword is a test for Ash's rework, like a temporary high mobility berserk mode where she gets to use her blade.

The movement you can do with this freaking weapon is insane Thank you for this Mokey

They need to make this ashes ult bruh, have ash like pull out the sword and get it for 15 with "limit break" already active

you can also animation cancel the limit break animation by activating revenants ultimate or by taking a zipline, there's also a bunch of other interactions

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but when you use dash near doors, you'll get stopped by them and doors will be destroyed, but it works even if you are dashing in parallel to wall so when you want to rush someone near wall with dash, you have to keep that in mind you could be stopped even if you don't see that doors :D

7:49 is just cloud getting fed up chasing someone and reverting to his days as a grunt

They need to keep event items like this in the firing range

This is such a fire video!!! I can’t wait to use this movement in game!!!🔥🔥🔥❤️

Been waiting on this 🙌🏼

So they pretty much took Ronin’s kit and put it into apex. Awesome

The horizon Q discipline at last clip was insane. i would've died by Q up and dash once into the broad space

i was waiting for this video

Kudos to the editor, that subscribe button slice in half was dope

I honestly think it was a really smart move to be able to leverage putting a lot of work into a limited-time weapon by selling it as an Heirloom. It's just, y'know, how it's fuckin' sold, like always.

we are so fkn back

3:42 THATS MY BOY

You have no idea how long I have been waiting to hear this from you.

I have been waiting for this

Kind of want a legend with a big ass sword like this as their tactical and Ultimate abilities. Movement and Melee monster? that's main material right there.

Thank you respawn for giving us something op and super fun

Man I wish so badly this insanely cool and fun movement and update was in ANY other game than Apex / a battle royale. I'd absolutely kill for this type of huge gameplay updates to be added to Titanfall 2 (or just include a pilot with a huge sword in Titanfall 3)

Ronin, my beloved. How I've longed to see your reawakening 🛐

im trying to do something like this in VR too lol Good to see theres a game where player feelings about getting combo'd dmc style is up for testing

Totally irrelevant, but the little feature that KZfaq added that lights up the “Subscribe” button when someone in a video says subscribe is so nifty

The sword of shame

Its amazing how many things the devs dont think of when they make a new weapon like this. Like these are basic things to check for to prevent op tech like this....

MOVEMENT TECH RAHHH

Thanks Respawn. I hate it. Hope everyone else has fun

with stacking octane stim and limit break and super glide you go further and faster :)

Mokey if you didn’t know that if you go into firing range and activate sword ultimate and jump off the map and respawn you keep the speed boost from sword ultimate as long as you keep it out of

great explanation 👍👍

love you mokey

probably testing new ult for ash, coz its her all ronin abilites

Another thing, dashing while on the floor lets you keep more of the momentum from the dash. And when used on a downward slope will send you flying!

Really hope Ash gets a rework which basically makes her into this. Even if the values are slightly tweaked to make the block, block less. Like say 75% instead of 85-95%, since that basically makes shooting a sword guy literally useless. And in the ultimate version of the sword, perhaps there's a way to buff the ult so that you can phase dash instead of normal dash, giving you invinsibility whilst you dash. Perhaps your ult builds up on a timer, simular to a vantage sniper, and you can expend sections of your timer to give you an invulnerable phase dash in exchange for less time in the ult (though it can be extended further with kills). Expending even more time will give you the limit break modifier essentially, but you MUST kill someone quick to make use of this overpowered state. You don't get much time in it at all, but if you kill, the time extension is the same as normal, making you really scary if you secure that first kill in "limit break" form. I could imagine the ult has 3 levels. 1 - slightly worse than current buster sword with a weaker block and shorter dash to the sword Max ult time: 25s 2 - added Phase Dash and dash distance in general is increased. Phase Dashes also generate a portal that allows a one way travel from other players also. Swing speed slightly increased by 5%. Ult time reduced by: 5s 3 - block power increased to 90% damage reduction. Swing speed increased by a further 10%. Ash can also launch enemies into the air now, which previously she didn't have access to. Can chain 2 phase dashes together which creates a portal with essentially double distance. The second dash can go any direction instead of only forward. Ult time reduced by an additional 10s Kills add and additional 10s onto the timer. The phase dash benefit means even as a movement tool, it still gets the benefit of her old ult, though she can only have up to 1 portal at level 2, and 2 at level 3, meaning if she spams dashes, it will keep closing portals. If someone is in a portal when she dashes again, they'll be thrown out wherever they stand, making it crazy for baiting people into potentially killing themselves if they're stupid enough to follow you in risky locations. Not even just over the edge of the map. You could zip over an entirely seperate gunfight below you and just drop the enemy into it or something equally creative.

Okay that subscribe button slash edit at around 4:20 was so cool

nice guide, ty

Wow this looks really fun to fight against 🙂 can’t wait to boot up apex and run into someone with it 🤪

Do you have a guide to do the Horizon trick with grav cannons where you can go off of it like you can with Pathfinder. I've been trying to do it but I can figure out exactly where to put her Q to make it.

Movement go brrrrrrrrrrrr

Im actually surprised you havent spoken about the buster sword being both the FIRST universal airloom AND a LTE item that will most likely not come back as far as we are aware.

Thank you for that

This is literally ronin. The dash is just like the titan one

Ive wanted a sword legend for so long

Don't care for apex or gaming content but had to leave a like for the edits. Nice

What’s the best weapon to use against the sword?

Cloud would be proud

If they half the block damage reduction this could be a nice care package weapon!

Gotta love that they made the sword core from tf2 again

limit break is just ronin's sword core. Highkey might play apex for this 👀

Ash needs to be remapped to skirmisher and reworked just like rev, either she is given revs old tactical ie traps enemy and stunns them including disabling tactical fir like 10 secs and maintaining her ult or give her the buster sword dash to any height and her portal tactical

Mauga; you need a bigger sword Genji; this one, i need ths

Ledge boosting with the dash is crazy.

that feels weirdly familiar.... reminds me of the supposed kit of forge

It seems op to lift them up and get several light slashes but if you play final fantasy than it makes perfect sense.

I found a speed glitch with my friend in the firing range. You need to have the sword at max the activate it then jump off the map don’t slam because it bugs your character and then when you respawn you will be faster. But you can’t activate it again but if you were to pick up another sword only the sword you did it with is glitched.

Never expect i will see an Omnislash in first person mode

THIS IS LIKE EAGER EDGE SWORD FROM DESTINY, IT LUNGES YOU IN GREAT DISTANCE AND YOU CAN DO WELL SKATE WITH IT

Can you Arkstar someone blocking with the buster sword, is it an effective tactic?

The buster sword is so busted ahah 🤣

Can't wait to play my good buddy Ronin after so long

You should try valks moon boots with the dash mechanic

i played 1 match, took it, tried to kill someone and died fast because i thought you can only do normal attacks (the technically heavy attack but with left click which to me is the normal/light attack) then watch this video and learn that you can do actual light attacks, block, dash, and well, i knew about the upwards jump attack and the attack from the air to the ground but no more things, so i instantly thought it was a shitty weapon but fun to have because looks cool. So im wrong, its actually god, you still can die but its hard

This should become the new Ash ult when this event ends, nerf it a bit and it's perfect and fun

I hope they add a melee weapon in the game that functions like this sort but its permanent

This basically is demoknight tf2, Even include insane sword swing hit reg jank. Aerial knock also sounds insanely busted

Btw if you are on a slope and you dash the second you hit the ground it sends you flying

Rev and the Buster sword movement is fuckin crazy

5:48 But if you wanna still use limit break you will have to sacrifice a gun for another sword meaning the first sword that you swapped when holding that you will keep the 40% speed boost but cannot use limit break and the other sword which was the original sword when you hold that you can use limit break holding it doesn't have permanent speed boost. In short you can have permanent speed boost and can still use limit break but no guns unless you play Ballistic.

I'm so happy they made a final fantasy weapon something good. I hope the gamers that never played final fantasy love it.

Lowkey, apex really should just have carepackage melee weapon. it would be so cool and fun.

this is good. apex needed a fun mechanic like this for a while. shits gotten way too esportsy with all the new season changes being nothing. hope they make that as a character ult just toned down a bit

I love ur vids bro, but im so sad that theres no new techs u can explain for us(

the apex community yearns for the ronin broadsword

俺たちローニンに乗るパイロットについに出番が来た

what a fair weapon lol

please upload more movement 🙏

Bro i wanna see your solo gameplay with sword

If you have toggle ads, you can block while in a deathbox, i recommend having an extra bind set to it

Quit playing apex like 2 years ago and I'm glad I did but the sword doing a good amount of damage and being a different weapon type makes apex look so much more fun and refreshing. You'd almost get to use movement even more fluidly if you were able to use melee weapons alongside firearms.

No way respawn aint gonna nerf this busted sword after the event - this is stupidly OP w/ all the perks you can get with it. I just hope we can spam melee with all the heirloom we have right now and it should be in the game since the first heirlom was released

I would like to bring attention to beast of the hunt and limit break together. I have never felt such power in Apex other than that.

now it's "Apex may cry"

because of the buster sword I came back to apex, they better make it permanent or have it be part of a LTM schedule

yuh

this is dumb and fun i hope they keep this in the game in some form

So can I super-heavy-jumpto fling myself across a large gap while on my way to kill a taken Hive god inas little timeas possible?

i think we can all agree that this sword is the most fun apex has ever been

I only know of cloud from smash so seeing his kit in a first person 3d environment is so weird

Ohhhh, so that is how I dash.

can't wait for the event to be over....

Stack a superglide stim limit break? What the speed?

How do you have this info in your gameplay? the text up left...

My question is, does it one shot reinforced doors by a catalyst?

“This is just a cosmetic”

Holy shit they added demoknight to apex

Ronin mains are having flashbacks rn

How do you switch guns while in limit break?

looks like old doomfist + new doomfist
