Lulu's overdrive on keyboard?

[Hebitsukaiza]

So seriously how the hell are you supposed to do this?
I can only get it up to 2 at most, i got it to 3 once o:
Any help on this would be appreciated

Buy a controller.

Seriously, I'm using a keyboard right now and it's just not possible.

I always wondered how they'd handle that. Not well by all accounts...

[Hoeldin]

Just spam left and right, got to 6 at the Mi'Hen highroad.

I gotten to 5 with the left and right arrow

pfft I can't get more than 7 or 8 even with a controller and this is with holding it sideways and putting the right stick against my palm and just furiously doing circles with it.

My one gripe with the way Steam Controller handles this game is it's basically impossible to use Lulu's overdrive. I guess this makes up for the fact it can map all the F key functions onto various other buttons.

the solution is get good at mashing. using a keyboard and mashing the A and D keys, i get a minimum of 5 every single time.

Left and right arrow. Hammer them like a mad bastard. I get up to around 6 or 7 -ara spells with a Mag stat of about 35 with where I am in the game at the moment.

On the other hand I can't use the controller at all compared to the PS2/PS3 version. My right stick must be set up incorrectly or something.

This is questionable. Using a Razer Black Widow Chroma, i can macro the press/release and time between and have done so. There is something application-side that is very narrow or limiting.
Using 0.1 seconds or less interval with average tap macro on continuous yeilds 3 overdrives early in the game at Kil. Temple (this is faster than a person can tap left and right). Slowing the interval down to .4 was able to yeild 4 overdrives at the same path (next to Boss Orcha).

I conclude that the game itself (with keyboard input. i have steam controlers that ive not tested yet on account of very poor steam controler mapping options) only accepts X interval. which is a high enough interval that you can only get 3-4 at present for early game charcters (20 magic).

Only thing I can be sure about is that, via standard install, an very high rotation macro (32-45 left-right cycles in 3 seconds) netted 3 overdrives, but slowing that down to 20 cycles in 3 seconds netted 4 overdrives.

I this is Lulu with a magic stat of 20. Once i can increase to 35 as one post reported, ill try various rates again and report back if the findings are different (it would be nice and logical if higher magic upped the multiplier so you didnt have to try to squeeze water out of a walnut, so to speak, or are otherwise able to get decent results on the keys).

After more testing, i was able to get 5-6 on the keyboard with macros (possible i suppose with fingers, but your going to need to work it) and, with much greater effort, 6-7 with toggle stick on the steam controller.

Hard to compare the inputs (and ill update if i find where to edit this modifier or a means of doing so) but i think its safe to say the port just made it much harder for keyboard.

with the steam controller. just go into the controller configs. choose left thumb stick and in the corner youll see mode shifting. click that. then make it go for joystick move and right thumbstick.. then set the button for left grip. now whenever you press left grip it will make the left thumb stick become a right one.

just spam left and right.. ive gotten to 8 wwith it.. bout the best you can do.

One thing that most people forgot to mention: Fury produces castings based on 3 main details: Lulu's Magic stat, the spell being used, and how much rotation you input.

At least with controllers, you need to input enougn degrees of rotation to get a cast of the spell. Higher end spells, like Fira, Thundaga, Flare... all need more rotation. Raising Magic stat reduces the rotation needed.

By 255 Magic, Lulu can get something like 24 uses of the basic spells, like Fire, but still has issues getting beyond 5 to 8 casts of Flare and Ultima.

Using the left and right arrows on keyboard works in place of actual rotation, and could even permit higher casts than normal, but the mechanics are otherwise the same.
