Tackling Nix's

b:chuckle Oh, you guys are funny. If you are charmed or not, if the veno knows what they're doing, they'll drop your bum before you can drop them. However, I would suggest ToP. I know it's been "nerfed" but I still find it annoying. It maximizes your HP and recovers a percentage of it. That can save your bum or just draw your death out a little more.

Nix - you can kite if you want. If you get around to killing it and the Veno doesn't run. They are probably pulling out another pet (this is a 3-6 second window of vulnerability). If they're not summoning a pet and are trying to ress, that is decidedly nubby of them. ~Or, run into a hill. The nix will get stuck in the ground and just squeak at you. To which the Veno can call it back to his/her side to come at you again.

Hood - stun lock if you can and try to get the pet in the aoe stun if you can. That is at least - what? - 7-8 seconds that the veno and the pet are out of comission. Yes, avoid hitting at all costs. You will gut yourself. It will hurt. It lasts 15 seconds. If the veno has a back up plan for when this ends, you might still be screwed. (Demon Bramble 75% deflect, lasts 15 minutes. b:victory)

As for the 9x and facing nixes, that's where the real skill comes in. The nix just helps out and if you're facing a pretty good veno, they have experience and use their pet like a tool. (Lob it at your head and hope to knock you out... kidding of course.) A pet is like an extra skill, especially the nix with stun and bleed. A lot can happen the 3 seconds pounce stuns you.

i know im 11 lelvel lower but ill throw in my peiceb:bye

(edit: this is important if the veno is a fox form wait till she's purged you to use sparks/positive buffs otherwise the'll be gona wasted and dead)

if veno trys to kites with nix just best think to do is just walk away but if your crazy and dont mind losing once in a while throw on alter maq and concentrate on nuking the veno chase her down Rotp this will take her and pet out for a few secs if hood is on stunlock the nix and nom some hp food this + your charm will keep the veno fro gettin ya once hood fades chase her down Rotp again and nuke her it helps to knock the pet away with atmos/meteor rush whenever it tryes to aoe if you can

against the ones who stand and fight:

if their LA (fox or human fox is a little trickier cause she'll purify you or amp probly both): if in human Rotp nuke her while stuning/knocking nix back

if heavy well if you have fists this is your moment to actually use your ultimate rotp set off your ulti and the veno will be dead before stun wears off i keep my fist ulti maxed just for this. the veno...ooooh a b easy pickins 5 secs later OH GOD WHY DOES PAIN HURT SO MUCH QQb:chuckle even better if you carry spark appoth pots just chain a hf into drakes breath bash

if not concentrate on the nix while using your aoes to keep the veno under a little pressure veno will probobly back out of your range and go human to heal at this point knock nix in oposite direction close FAST (leaps are good here) stunlock hit with everything you have(i recomend HF + Tstorm or HF + true emptyness in the air) and pray a little if they go human and hood just continue hackin nix apart till hood dies (or nix does) and do the same

NEVER attack into a hood in duels dont care if your a full vit axe who somehow has 10k + hp dont do it her maq + nix + hood = dead bmb:shocked

in pk i say dun do it cause with that deffence + its just a waste of time
and attacking nix will force veno to waste time healing it

(edit i do love the ha veno fear shown here lol)

as always if im wrong just let me know folks

Just triple spark and ninja her from above..... hey its PK if you want fair duel b:victory

Alright folks, I seriously need some pro advice. I would prefer I get it from people who are my level or higher.

Here's the question:

What do you think is the best way to tacke a Veno with a nix?

HA Veno?
LA Veno?
AA Veno?



So far my strategy has been:
1. Go, "AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" and then hit cauterize to stop bleed. Then I will'o'Bodhi and run away for a bit.

2. Nix follows me, I stun it when it is a bit away, then Run like mad toward the veno.

3. Try to DPS the hell out of the veno before Nix returns.

Sadly, this works for me only about 50% the timeb:sad I need a better Nix strategy.

just ignore nix it cant do ANYTHING to u except stun. set boddhi, magic mirror, and let the veno die in stunlock. if the veno is HA use tangling mire(str genie), if u want to go for 100% and easy way dragon + true emptiness(works on HA too if not on full health, and tanglined, like tangling drake(or aoe stun), dragon, highland (if u used aoe stun than smack), and press true emptiness at the same time with aelian blade(drakes ray) ). if ur dragon didnt miss that will kill enarly any veno.

most important, ignore the nix it cant do real dmg to u

U NEVER TRIPLE SPARK AS BM, AT LEAST NEARLY NEVER

lol how much have you spend on armor/gear hippie?

ya nix hurts otherwise why would every pk veno out there swear by them?

look at their forum no this is best no this is best arguments...nix trumps all pvp pets in terms of sheer damage

thats not saying it should be feared with good tactics you can win easy but if you ignore that burn bird completely your toast

i am a non cash shopper i got all i have ingame. i dotn have any event stuff or high refines. nix hurts but not the godd.amn HA users lol. or are u arcane bm?

i ignore it and i am rarely the toast... how much does a nix of ur level tick on u? 300? 400? 3 times in 9 seconds. thats a single shot from any decent veno on u

Stacked Bleed kills me....
and I usually use WoB to prevent stun.
I can fight non-nix venos easily.

nix bleed cant stack unless its more than one veno lol. the cooldown is longer than the dmg over time

thats maybe becouse non nix venos arent that good at pvp, respect for the exception

Not sure about "cant do real dmg to you " part but yeah ingore the nix... its a question of numbers.. veno + nix = 2 v 1 .... kill the nix and veno is still smacking you upside the head ... kill the veno and nix dies aswell.. so you decide which is the best option

Yes, we get a little vicious in the order the pets go for PvP.

Nix is No.1 all the time. It's a requirement for most TW factions as well.

In my opinion, the Kowlin cuts in at second place. It's fast. It has L4 Fleshream right off the bat. It comes with Physical and Magical defense debuffs. It can keep up with any BM no matter what sprints you use. Sadly, it's just as squishy as a BM. b:sad It's still one of my favorite land pets.

Herc fails as a PvP pet. It's slow and if the player facing the veno knows better, they won't hit it. It has high HP and good defenses. It does hit kinda hard, but a BM won't need to worry about that. I'd shake my head and laugh if a veno tried to use this in PK. (I tested it in duel.) It's my favorite grinding pet though.

b:victory Not many pets that are good for PvP anyway.

Yes, it's best to head for the Veno. If you can slow up the Nix any as well, dandy. Stun it and gun it for the veno or try to get it stuck in a hill or bump in the ground. It generally takes a couple seconds for the veno to get it turned around to go at you again and by then you could be ripping her apart. Unless she's pretty damn good, then you might still be screwed. If she's a true squishy it will only take a few hits for her to go down.

as a pole bm, just ignore the nix and spam your poleskills+aeolian on the veno...

i can't wait until i'm 80+ and beef up my poleweap path..
dragon->fissure->cleave->switch to pole->sprint->aeolian->meteor->farstrike->chipot->glacial

bad enough... but with demon dragon.. **** b:sin

Not all venos will drop in a stunlock combo. If it misses you're screwed. Even if you get your stuns off, you might not be able to drop the veno before the stun is gone and you've gotten another off on them. Don't be so cocky. Some venos are built better than BMs and can drop you faster than you can them.

If the bm and veno are the same lvl than that nix would take a pretty nice chuck out of ur hp even if u are heavy armor unless u alter marrow phy but than take a bigger chuck of damage from the magic nuking.
Im not sure for arcane venos but Bms fall pretty fast. Well the ones my lvl do.
I send nix and hit the bm with about 1-2 magic attacks than they die.
If they have a charm, its still pretty easy.
My fox form also give me close to HA phy def also and with my soul transfusion, metabolic boost and soon (i hope) bramble hood, its a hard combo to beat cuz i never die from a stunlock.
plus that 70% less accuarcy from befuddling mist maxed is super sexy

And i think if its a dragged out pk most ppl will start fighting in the air. Am i wrong?
So ur speed skills wont help. But i could be wrong cuz i am a lvl 5x noobie XD.
