Strike vs Ki for PvE

[Moglom]

It seems ki builds are much stronger in PvE
Not just that it's easy to spam. But they also do more damage
I'm trying out a strike build for my newest character but it feels very much weaker
Am I just bad at the game? :)

Depends on the attacks. Strike ults are generally weaker than Ki blast ults.

However, a Strike super build is perfectly feasible. Try these:

- Super Dragon Flight > Second input of Savage Strike
- Critical Upper > Super Dragon Fist
- Critical Upper > Super Dragon Flight > Second input of Savage Strike

Another thing is that Ki ults feel like they are more likely to be canceled by the AI heavy attacks. Or at least the higher difficulty AI almost always try to counter my attempts if I just sit there and spam it while they are targeting my character.

What is second input of savage strike?
Thaks for the advise. I'm already using Critical Upper. It's a great :)

I've never used ultimate attacks that much. Mostly Bending kamehameha with the super souls "now this is a real kamehameha". And sometimes another blast while the buff lasts

What ultimates would you recommend? (both for damage or just cool factor) I see a lot o people using Emperors Death Beam

Getting into the later part of the game Striking feels terrible :( The enemies get knocked back by Com or other players, giving a massive down time on your ability to deal damage.
Does anyone have tips for this part? (I know you can chose to not bring partners is parallel quests)

Many are finishers but there are several strike skills that group very well together. Ill post screen caps of some of my presets tonight and explain how I decided on them

Ults aren't meant to be spammed apart from a select few. You need to set them up if you don't want the AI to punish.

You tap the button for it twice. It'll do an Instant Transmission to your target and punch them downwards.

As for pve ults, it kinda depends on the CaC you're using. Super Kame, Final Flash and Special Beam Cannon are good for male Saiyans because they hit after several of their combos. Justice Combination is a safe option for most CaC's and has the added benefit of combing with some supers afterwards. Emperor's Death Beam is the bread and butter of pve but its Ki expensive for the damage.

dragon fist is probably the coolest looking attack in the game and it does a ton of strike damage, but you will need to know how to comfortably combo into stamina breaks.
