I want some community opinions is the cricket bat so much better then the other melees?
? Because imo its waaay better then the normal melees
i personally really enjoy bashing people’s heads with it (such a satisfying sound)

If they hadn’t nerfed the Stiletto and messed up with right click attacks, the bat wouldn’t be that much better. It does have a lower movespeed to balance it though.

I like the Beckhill the best.

bat is bad cause you dont have a method to finish people off quickly

The bat has a super weird hit location on its left click which annoys me alot, although its damage is that good.
I personally take consistency over damage but it’s all about personal preference.

Slower than running with a knife, and a slower attack, for what? A teensy range advantage? Not worth it IMO.

Melee weapons are as follows

[center]Beckhill Combat Knife: 40 damage a light attack, 80 a heavy. 100% speed modifier

Stilnotto Stiletto, 35 damage a light attack, 85 a heavy. 100% speed modifier

Cricket bat, 55 damage a light attack, 80 a heavy. 97.5% speed modifier

Kukri, 55 damage a light attack, 85 a heavy. 97.5% speed modifier

Katana, 60 a light, 90 a heavy. 97.5% speed modifier
[/center]

The cricket bat has the same range of the two knives.

It’s light attacks do more damage than the both knives.

It has a slower attack speed per attack

It’s heavy attack is just like the Beckhill.

The main negative effect being that you run slightly slower than a knife.

If I’m not mistaken, the hit location starts from one side of the screen to the other, where the bat head is going with each attack

The main positive of a cricket bat is that it has a ton of active frames on the light swing combined with the damage. So you can swing it earlier than you would a knife and connect while dodging if you were in a 1v1 knife fight. I’ve had a few setup melee fights with people and if I have a bat and they have a knife I pretty much never lose.

To me Cricket is deft the best melee weapon.

  1. speed penalty is okay
  2. speed of swing is fast much like that of a knife
  3. hit box or hit animation or just in general is very easy to hit compare to the UNREALISTICALLY slow ninjato and the weird hit box of the the curve knife thing Red Eye has.
  4. the most important thing is that out of all the melee weapons there are, bat is the least broken and it actually works most of the time >.>.
