YV the melee god

[Joe]

Anyone else love using melee weapons with YV? I feel like once I get long arms and trigger fingers I become a triangular juggernaut of death.

Shovel + Stress + Ultra A + Trigger Fingers = 3-Way Jackhammer.

I did that but without stress + trigger fingers. Id wish even with the YV firereate buff that ammo-less melee would be fast enough to just swing everything to death, like an everlasting ultra shovel.

If they ever nerf melee so it doesnt go through walls or they reduce the damage, i want the firerate for them shortened pronto

Trigger fingers on YV is definitely 100% necessary for effective melee. I'm always bummed when it's never offered to me on a YV run. If you have trigger fingers and long arms with a lightning hammer it can carry you through loops, provided you have a decent cannon to go along with it.

It's not, really. I Just made a ~7800 kill run with the ultra shovel, long arms and ultra A. Even without trigger fingers or stress it swings so fast that you become almost invincible as long as you don't run out of rads. (You do though if you go ham to much)
Some competent secondary weapon to stock back up on rads and you are golden. until you let two Big Bandits run straight into your face ;_;

Yes, ironically Y.V. is one of the best characters to use Melee with, especially the U-Shovel.

What you want to do is get the U-shovel, and a reliable weapon.

You cannot afford on using the U-shovel as your primary, it's only there so you can get through cheesy situations, Bosses, and bad spawns. The other weapon should be something reliable to use 50% of the time to get rid of the other enemies, something like a normal seeker pistol.

In fact, my best run (8400~ Kills) was with that combo. But that was before the UShovel got nerfed.

We'll see how effective the Ushovel is when melee universally gets it's bug fixed where you can slam through walls.

An interesting combo to try (which I yet have not done due to B being broken atm) is to take a reliable non-ultra melee which eats no ammo (lightning hammer..) and Ultra B with throne-butt and Trigger fingers. The use a very ammo intense-weapon (Seeker Shotgun/Cannons) and use it when you get to a cheesy situation to deal with giant masses. Your lightning hammer is there to get rid off the enemies in calm-situations.

So many challenge ideas... too bad I already have plans for Y.V.

[Joe]

Yeah, I agree that trigger fingers isn't necessary with the utlra shovel, but that melee weapon has a really decent fire rate to begin with on YV. With most other melees, I find that I really need trigger fingers to get through crowds effectively. And it makes his pop pop and brrrap so much better.

I can confirm that lightning hammer + seeker shotgun is pretty great. While I love seeker shotgun, I tend to take other weapons over it unless I have eagle eyes. When I try to use it without it, a lot of shots get wasted. SPC is obviously always fun and good, provided you have strong back.

(Basically, I love the lightning hammer on YV)

They even have animations for when melee swings hit a wall, c'mon.

Anyways, that's atleast what JW said ages ago, could be that he already changed his mind put I hope not.

JW has been clear on multiple streams that melee through walls has been deliberately left in even if it was initially a bug

read; feature

Will YV ever be able to use his active with melee weapons?
