Storm's Edge: no counters?
I'm trying not to be "Omg Pls Nerf" here but what exactly is the counter to something like this? It practically murders everyone and you can't damage the player using it fast enough to stop them.

1 ReplyThrow a suppressor grenade at your feet or snipe the super before teleportation, there’s a wind up animation that leaves them hanging for a good second.

Jump over them towards the direction they are coming from and hope the knife doesn't directly hit you or below you. You can snipe it now I think, and they are vulnerable between throws. Realistically its biggest downside is it's long cooldown.

My counter for storm edge hunters: just jump before they activate the next arc knife throw. I did this alot, being a hunter main and all. One time I actually made an enemy player use near the edge on Meltdown. Funny and didn't expected him to use the last super to get back in the map. Lol It's all about the timing when you counter a storm edge Hunter. For me, I just simply jump and anticipate it.

1 ReplyWhen it was Iron Banner week, i remember killing a Storm Edge Hunter right as it killed me while i was using Winter’s Wrath. They have definitely slowed down that super for PvP.

1 ReplyEdited by DuplexGorilla53: 12/24/2024 1:05:52 PMLet’s be honest all three of the new supers are similar in this regard. The titan axes not only give free unavailable kills but then go on to give others a chance at a free bonus kill as well and the warlock is go walk around and get some kills while immune to damage. At least with the connection quality in this game most of this isn’t well supported

2 RepliesFor real, its a super. Run or die!

You serious? Nah, just kiddin right

Blink is hilariously easy to dodge it. But it requires you to be on blink lol

2 RepliesI still can’t figure this super out. Kills though walls, kills while you’re outside of its radius, kills whether you’re in the air or on a boat in the middle of the ocean, sometimes they just throw the knife and that kills you. It’s easily one of the most obnoxious supers in the game.

blink is the only counter i know of, lol -
1 ReplyIt’s still really jank but your best bet is swap to a vorpal rose and teamshoot them while they are doing the throw animation

4 RepliesJump over the blade swing. Hard to get the timing right though.

It’s a get out of jail free super. However, at least they increased its cool down time, so Bungie did something right.

God these freaking bugs. With storm's edge there's really no counter and any hunter that uses it is pretty much indestructible and becomes entitled to at least 5 kills. There's simply no way around it so I wouldn't even try. There is a way to get yours to work worse by going in control and capturing a lot of zones though. If you want to try that. That will lead to less global hunter super dominance. The power is in your hands.
