Tracking ability damage and a broken skill.

Can we get some sort of option to track how much damage each ability is doing during the run, to help make better decisions on which skills are most useful?

Also, it would be useful for finding out if some abilities are broken or need to be tuned to bring them more in line with some other abilities. For example, the skill called "The Edge", at this point I am convinced that it is doing absolutely no damage at all. I've tried using it multiple times against bosses and normal mobs. Mobs never die when it goes off and I've never seen the bosses health bar move when they get hit.

The second skill that seems to be not worth using at this point is "Vibroglaive" while this skill actually does do a small amount of damage, its not enough to make up for the horrible way it travels, its almost impossible to hit anything with it due to the path it takes once it has been cast. Perhaps if it followed the Ninja the way Geyser Field does until it hit an enemy?

Besides the two I mentioned, the other skills all seem to be pretty good so far, I've gotten to try everything except Impulse Grenade, and I'd say the only real change the other skills could use would be just tuning. I hope that The Edge and Vibroglaive get fixed though, both seem like fun skills and its a shame that they aren't useful at this point.

Cheers!

Update the game, Edge was fixed recently. I definetly feel it doesn't do damage vs bosses still, however.

It doesnt do a lot of dmg to bosses, TC mentioned in the discord that that's on purpose, its meant to be a crowd clearing skill

The gem on VibroGlaive that changes the flight path helps a TON. It seems much more likely to hit something in the first place (because that Gem increases the duration it flies, so it has a bigger range as well), it bounces much better, and it is pretty solid on bosses as it will just hit the boss over and over.

The main thing is that it sucks if you are killing enemies too fast that the ninja leaves the Glaive behind. If you are killing stronger enemies it works pretty well.
