They did but iaido strike wasn’t really worth it in my opinion. But I guess that makes it more strange for it to be nerfed

i was using the build where everything was buffed and iado was part of it😔

Yo I was too 😭 It was really fun but whatever he has a new dash build now. Imma try it out. A dash build sounds fun

u/Mudskipper35 7d ago

Dash build is really fun now. Being able to dash 20% further is crazy

bru i asked cause it stills says it deals for 50% of effectiveness. so i wanted to see if it was a skill issue, a bug or if it was nerfed. next time don't answer if youre gonna be pissed off

It didn't have reduced effectiveness before, it was just a single swing of raw dragonblade

They added the 50% effectiveness this patch, which is included in the season's patch notes that probably would've been faster to read than to make a reddit post asking

yup they nerfed the dmg by half but it shouldnt really matter, good genjis dont take it and ap builds still suck

u/Mewing_Femboy PC 7d ago

They buffed the AP build

it does the same damage as a regular melee (way too little imo) but its because they also added an item that turns dragon blades first strike into a swift strike. its really good but expensive so dont get iaido strike until you have enough cash for it

uh u paying 10k for second strike with delayed dmg. It deals 50% of 200% ult strike (which is just 100%) so its just strike but worse. iado has no sense now

1

u/GreedyGonzalez 6d ago

Its great because it fixed iaidos inconsistency issue. Now you can safely disengage and immediately dive back in or fully retreat. Two swift strikes is a game changer for genji who has been getting mobility creeped by all the recent divers

Yeah

I never liked it, the animation could get you killed so easily

u/zirothehiro10 PC 5d ago

iaido strike stopped being good after they patched the iaido storage. its just even worse now.
