Vanish Kick

[Rage]

I dont know if I am preforming Vanish Kicks wrong or something but whenever I vanish kick as a level 2 vs a level 3 raider it gets blocked and I get hit but when I am a raider at level 3, a level 2 is able to vanish kick me. Am I missing something? It just seems inconstisent, also close range I seem to preform ki blasts when I wanna strike attack, and idk I enjoy this game and have played since beta but theres justa few things I dont understand

Basically there is a timing where you can vanish kick a raider.
When they are about to do something like melee rushing or use an ability, if you managed to vanish at that exact moment, you'll stun the raider and kick them successfully.
Doesn't work against evasive though

Ya can also use a stun then vanish kick if ya want to combo it into a very quick super, or (if ya can time it) land a fake death then combo into a vanish kick (& also combo into a very quick super). Fake Death puts the raider in hitstun allowing em to get vanish kicked successfully even if a level above ya. If ya have Fake Death try using Practice mode to get a feel for the timing.

ah okay, so its just a tight timing, ill remember to be more careful when raider, and look for that oppertunity when a level lower when survivor

Ive seen people use the vanish kick super combo like stray and ironcane, seems abit difficult to pull off so pratice mode would def help, I have fake death but I just dont really know what I would replace for it, gotta think

you can only vanish kick as a lower level if the raider is trying to Melee you.
its very abusable
