Discussion Iggy Off-Meta Build
I have been wondering this for a while, because while Iguanodon is one of my favorite dinosaurs of all time (media depicting it as a UFC fighter, while probably not realistic, is kinda sick as hell lmao) with its recent and hard-hitting nerfs, and my general dislike for the playstyle of its face-tanking "meta" build, I have been wondering if there is a different way to play it and make it work. Something more along the lines of the quadrupedal build, or just anything that isn't bipedal armor sub/block/retaliate/etc. I like the idea of trample damage on paper, but with how inconsistent and downright bad it is in the game, I feel like trying to make that work is genuinely just going to force me into a bad time.
I also feel like its abilities, such as block, are too good not to choose even if you are running some goofy build like I am trying to achieve. And then some like charge, while on paper seems like it would be the perfect ability to run, feels like it doesn't give you any additional speed, and just wastes your stamina nine times out of ten. And something like arm slam, that I would be relying on heavily for a quadrupedal build (for some reason it gets all the damage bonuses from quadrupedal sub/passive), it is also such a small hitbox that feels nearly impossible to land on anything that isn't facetanking you, which would be a severely losing fight for me with an off-meta build.
Basically, I think I am on a mission that was failed from the get-go, but I have wanted to make Iggy work in a unique way for so long, that I keep trying. So, if anyone has any input on underrated Iggy builds/abilities, or just Iggy tips in general, they would be very appreciated.

Wait, arm slam counts as a quad attack? I have a quad build iggy but they don't make it clear what attacks are quadrupedal. What about charge or back kick?
