it doesn’t seem to be working out that way for me.
I usually trade.
Try charging.
No. Direct Sword vs Ball encounter, as well as Sword vs Hammer is a win for Ball when he carrier has full health and shields. But the sword is intended as the more effective tool for taking down the ball guy, with the hammer being more effective at taking out other Hammer or sword users. It also should be noted that Hammer usually beats sword in a direct clash. From my observations:
Direct Clash: (Assuming full health)
Hammer > Sword
Ball > Sword
Ball > Hammer
General Combat/Gameplay (Not specifically in direct clashes)
- Hammer is generally effective against all other players using sword and hammer
- Sword is intended to be the more effective way to deal with Ball Carriers, but can be very useful for getting opponents who think they’re a safe distance from you.
- Ball Carrier can win encounters with any other player if they play their cards right.
