Okay, so this is going to be our little discussion on how to deal huh with Tank Chests across the cast. I’ve found a few characters that can make Tank chests trivial.
Riptor: Just mash heavy punch Primal linkers and it should build up really quick. Might need to use damage ender or some Shadow but she doesn’t need to work to hard to crack them.
Mira: Heavy Reaping makes this quick and easy. I’ve had mixed results as to whether the blood damage carries over, however.
TJ Combo: Open up with a flying knee and do a basic damage loop with the light knee linker and heavy doubles, be sure to throw out a Shadow Powerline for extra damage. Need to test if Auto Barrage helps.Shadow knee will whiff/cause a reset, so be cautious.
Will add more notes if I open them up with more characters. Also, don’t try any grabs/grab enders. It will whiff the chest.
If you’re getting a tank chest I think the game could at least refill your shadow (and maybe instinct) meters. Was quite annoying finishing an Ultra combo with hype beam only for a chest I could have used it on instead to show up.
Oh, sorry. I meant so it wouldn’t hurt to refill meters when a tank chest spawns. Obviously I know now to not extend ultras, but it’d be nice if we could just take on a tank chest at full power.
