I feel like it kinda ruins the spirit of “Swords” by having a Grappleshot in Ninja Slayer FFA.
Sword clashes rarely last more than 2 clashes before your grapple sworded from behind. My first thought would be to give everyone Repulsors, and have a Grappleshot as a map pickup.
If the Grappleshot isn’t going anywhere then at least give a larger radar radius. By the time an enemy blips they already have you hooked in the back.
I feel like I’m constantly locked in mid-range engagements due to the range of the equipment.
With Repulsors, you could have sword clashes and be able to better react to approaching enemies, including the option to repulse your current opponent.
Thrusters would be another good option. I just feel I get enough of the GrapplexSword combo in Fiesta, it’s a go-to that people will swap out for.
