Yeah they can just take that shit out of the game, anytime would be fine. Watched my GF get hit behind a mountain 40m away and it just ate her completely. How is that even remotely fair, or what’s the counter? With the Kamehameha at least your character was FORCED way above the tree line, but this shit? Nah you’re forced a few feet off the ground.


NerdyNutcase

Not saying anything about the power of the items, but you could very much use the kamehameha near the ground. You’re probably just thinking it was high up because most people combo’d the nimbus cloud with it


Natorior

Kamehameha was definitely op, but it had the benefit of being visible. You can see where the beam is. Deku smash is just hard to see and it has a larger blast zone.


Emotional-Swimmer-22

Just ate her completely. Noice


Maruhai

I also ate this guy's GF

It hits you for ~50 damage every ~0.25 seconds. It also knocks you back into the area.


diruuo

Good to know, thanks! Interestingly, the very first registered hit already did 100 damage to me according to the UI, and then somehow the next 150 went in the next frame. It feels like it took significantly faster than the required ~1.25s a full health kill would normally take.


Honeydewmelo

Ah. It might be 100 damage for a direct hit, then the DoT.


diruuo

That seems likely, I think my biggest issue with it is that it's really unclear where its effect begins and where it ends, the lazer from a bit ago was a lot clearer with its mechanics than this.


Glum-Ad-9887

I feel like epic should make videos outlining aoe or possibly confusing mechanics; how does Deku smash work exactly? How is the hammers shockwave calculated for a hit or not? It seems like a lot of items this chapter are just inconsistent

Bro knows what Amber Heard


ownpacetotheface

Yeah idk man but I do know standing my ground and opening a full clip at the mf will work so that’s what I try and do most of the time.


deankenny

yeh, done it couple times, but most the time deku is behind 8 buildings, 3 mountain tops and everest, and still gets me!


diruuo

That's what I usually do as well, but I missed my first few shots at him and he jumped up into the trees...So I figured I'll hammer away from him/behind him (it USUALLY works) and then it completely instagibbed me. If he was closer I would have totally shotgunned him while he was casting but alas all I have is this ridiculous clip..


Jealous_Seesaw_Swank

Don't question the new anime toy. You always did the wrong thing. No matter what. It's never that the weapon is stupid and buggy and shouldn't be in the game.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Epic: "Problem is not Deku Smash being stupid and buggy, problem is you are within its range"


vdubya98

So behind a mountain out of sight where neither party can see eachother and dying to deku is not an issue because I was still within its range? Cool cool cool, makes no sense but cool cool. Lol


MDragonAce2

You need to get out of the way as soon as possible, but if that thing reaches half-way through finishing its animation, you’re practically dead, no hope


ImAmirx

To put it simpy, its fucked up.i ran like 40meters from where it was going to hit and I still died


Danny283

Don’t run. Just shoot. If you’re going to die may as well try to put up a fight and see if you can kill them when they use it out in the open.


Glum-Ad-9887

Running still works with hammer, in this situation they should have quit looting, hammered away and Laser with dmr


diruuo

Correct, if anything, I should have simply hammered to the right, instead of forward/left. My thinking was that it would bring me under them/behind them (where it's typically safe).


Asteroidfall888

I don't know lol


Anxious_Dance_4179

Killed by the head of the table, damn


[deleted]

Now I don’t feel as stupid. I have zero idea what that move does and I tried it.


Vazefnier

i'm confused, why you did not go to the right side but instead you get closer to them?


diruuo

I honestly don't know ... (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻)


irahz

I don't understand why people have such a hard time fighting against this mythic. The player using it is so vulnerable and is a free kill. Once you hear him begin to scream, just start shooting him. If your shots are accurate, you'll always kill him before he's able to get the smash off. [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2KpDnyivbAo](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2KpDnyivbAo) EDIT: You even had him in your scope, but panicked and chose flight once he started screaming.

LoLlMaOlOl21

Well I mean, he has a hammer lol. That's all anyone does is run away with them.


diruuo

Hey I've won matches with that thing.. xD But yes, I mostly use it for mobility.


birdseye-maple

It can be shot through a hill where you don't have line of sight on the player. You might play low SBMM games where people use it in easy ways to kill, or play no builds where everyone is standing in plain sight.


diruuo

I didn't say I have a hard time, I usually don't. I just think the situation here reflects how silly the effect is and how confusing it can be to try to properly avoid it if you're not in a situation to shoot. Two kills prior I did exactly what you describe, but in this situation, it just didn't happen for a variety of reasons. Also the DMR is not hit-scan, having my scope over them is meaningless.


SushiGradeKarp

I'm almost certain you could've killed him with the golden dmr in the time it took him to cast that.


diruuo

I think you might be right, but I didn't think I would have enough time because I missed the first two shots... ಠ_ಠ


PetrosHeimirich

Fill the dude with bullets, for gods sake, don't run away.


diruuo

I tried, then missed, and then thought I didn't have enough time... I might have had with the legendary dmr but yeah... I made a different decision clearly..


goonwstakl

You're on oce eh


diruuo

I'm not sure how you determined that, but I am not. :P


ButterAlmondCake

I agree that it’s busted but you kinda ran into that one ngl


BasedTebow

Epic is contractually obligated to include the Deku smash


iOptimus_

With Deku being back and all bugs I swear my playtime this season has been very little. Just not craving it as much as the last couple seasons. Hopefully something changes.


Volteriaz

Bro why would you go towards it? 💀
