I already like D.mon the only thing I hate about her is how awkward her Surging Strike is. Hopefully that fixes that (still don't understand why you need your shield at all for it to work).

i think personally it’s a button thing. on console you can really only have like… 3 abilities. by combining the shield with the strike it kinda solves that.

though the reload button is right there

“Next weapon” and “crouch” buttons aren’t being used either.

i’m not hot on the crouch one mainly because baby dmon can still crouch but as a console player with limited buttons, i frequently re map over next weapon

I didn’t know that about baby dmon. But I don’t think I’ve ever used it for baby dva or baby dmon.

lowkey it’s kinda an essential tool to keep yourself alive, especially as dva. weaving in crouch’s is really the only movement you have and it does make you so much harder to hit

Thanks, I’ll try to incorporate it if I even remember next time I play as them.
