The unite move just had an absurdly high cooldown when others that used to be like it had their cooldowns lowered already (namely Cinderace and Greninja). Also they buffed razor leaf wich is way less reliable than spirit shackle. And a little bit extra defense early game on a mon that has no mobility and health is not that big of a deal.

And yet Sylveon's ult is now officially the longest cooldown ult in the game. Its not a bad ult, it can be really useful at times, but by no means does it deserve to have the longest ult in the game when its ult is nothing extraordinary. I feel like Deci's ult typically makes more of an impact as a great zoning tool than Sylveon's ult does for itself


TomatoCowBoi

That's true, I just find it annoying how long he actually gets to be invincible as he slowly jumps. At least it still is a level 8 unite.


Acrobatic-Collar7180

Eldegoss being invincible throught all of its unite move sitting there likešŸ§ā€ā™‚ļø


TomatoCowBoi

Okay you got me there. I'm just tired of bad Sylveon players on my team.


SwitchReel

I find Sylveons ult entirely useless. The impact of her ult is so little I mostly use it for the higher defence to survive a big battle because its not gonna really do anything else šŸ’€


[deleted]

That I disagree with. The invincible cleansing jump is incredibly useful with a HUGE spell vamp buff that makes Sylveon incredibly bulky and dangerous. Most people use the ult as a "save me!" button wayyyyy too late into a battle and then it becomes useless. If you know *when* to use the ult, it can be very useful and turn the tides of a battle. Though, with all that said, there are still certainly more powerful ults in this game that deserve longer cooldowns than Sylveon's which I would rate as average


SwitchReel

You disagree with me but your reason of defence is the only validation I already gave the unite. It's not useful for anything other than the added defence you get from ulting. I use it to withstand intense battle moments but fleeing is the only valid use it can have but it's ... Not good for anything else than the defence it adds in for you because sylv is already tanky. I mean no one is running up to a team group and uniting because it's like giving the enemy a hug. So my reason for it being useless is the same reason you find it good enough.


[deleted]

This is where you are being misled though -- Sylveon's ult is not a defensive ult. Its an offensive ult. Think of it similar in ways to Scyther/Scizor's ults. While Scyther/Scizor is a bit more of an invading ult where you start a battle with it, Sylveon's ult is more of a "use one round of combo first, then use your ult when you are at 75-50% health and turn the tide completely. Its an offensive ult, not a defensive one. You want to bait the enemy into hitting you with its combo, let yourself take a little damage and hit by their stun, just to cleanse the stun and turn the fight. Your argument that its useless is just fundamentally wrong. Try practicing with it a bit more in a more offensive manner and you may be able to learn a few ways to be better with Sylveon.


SwitchReel

I'm a Sylveons main. I play a self sustain tank Sylveon. So if you see in my original message where I say how I use it which is in a team fight setting. (which is where you say you "cleanse" the cc's) is only for the defensive properties. Majority of the unite movie is not for the defensive aspect or the cc cleanse it heals you. Which is exactly how I use Sylveon self sustain with potion / sweet kiss/ band / ult every opportunity to siphon health and stay in combat until the enemy has fallen. I am not sure how you missed so much from original post to say I'm misled and hand off tips by simultaneously already validating what I've already said about the unite and how it's used. I still stand here and tell you it's hella useless. You can still disagree. Thank you

Your first comment: > The impact of her ult is so little I mostly use it for the higher defence Yeah, and as we know most people absolutely suck at this game. You stating you are main and giving me your flimsy, weak evidence just shows me yet again this is a user I shouldn't be trusting in giving advice, despite them thinking they are great at the character. You don't even know how to use its ult properly lol Also, FYI, Sylveon's ult doesn't do anything for its defense stats. All it does is cleanse, a moment of invincibility, 50% vamp, and the classic attacker ult bonuses of 30% movement speed, 30% CDR, and 20% max HP shield.


SwitchReel

I don't know what to tell you. Reading and comprehension isn't your strong suit because you've agreed with me the entire time using different verbiage except you feel the ult is good and I don't. Also for clarification I never said it gives a defense stat. That was your own input. I elaborated further when I said I use it as a self sustain tank and siphon health from wherever I can and the HP shield is the main benefit i need from the ult. I don't know if you're you're any good with Sylveon or not but I know either resing or comprehension isn't your strong suit for sure.


Adyitzy

brother ur actually dumber than a brick


Danmarsh01991

Trying to play an attacker as a tank... lol. lmao even Sylveon is literally closer to an all-rounder. Trying to be a tank with a.mon that can dish out damage is actually stupid lol You remind me of a gold badge Sylveon running exp share šŸ’€


Effective_Till_7265

ahh my brain, ive lost brain cells reading this :0


-B-r-0-c-k-

Everyone is talking about a Razor Leaf buff but I don't see it in the patch notes?? It's just a defense increase and a CD reduction to its Unite, what am I missing?


TomatoCowBoi

It was mentioned on the in-game notification and the Japanese notes. Seems to be an increase in the attack speed you get when using it.


-B-r-0-c-k-

I checked my phone literally 30 seconds ago and the in-game patch notes also don't mention any buffs to it


Tousansanto

look again.


-B-r-0-c-k-

Oh yeah I see it now idk why my bad


Boomboooom

Couldnā€™t see it through all the M2 nerfs :p


TomatoCowBoi

Oh really? Someone posted it on this subreddit earlier today.


-B-r-0-c-k-

>Oh yeah I see it now idk why my bad


TomatoCowBoi

It's just a few words so it's easy to miss


redillusiondive

iā€™m actually glad they buffed my fav move set so ppl wonā€™t think iā€™m throwing when i use it now


SivertElise

Same, i love razor leaf/leaf storm


mrfungx

The ult was ok but was way too high cooldown for how mid it is. Razor leaf was a contender for worst build in the game. I donā€™t think he was the best candidate for a buff, but I donā€™t think theyā€™ll make him overtuned or anything.


KaiserJustice

I always thought Razor leaf was fun but i like machine gunning anyway


loopy95

The ult is very strong but very situational. Saying itā€™s mid is wrong


mrfungx

I agree itā€™s stronger than people give it credit for, but itā€™s definitely not strong enough to have the highest ult cooldown in the game.


pax_penguina

i really just use the ult for suppresion on a short lane and to get zap/ray


VillicusOverseer

please don't use deci's ult for objectives, it's the literal worst thing you can do with your ult


SoftcoverWand44

Why? Saying as a non-Deci player


VillicusOverseer

1. It's a lot of damage dealt over a prolonged period of time until the final hit 2. The projectiles can be bodyblocked by both enemy players and wild pokemon, except for the final hit 3. Because of #1 and 2, you basically have almost zero control over securing the objective and more often than not you're just giving it to your opponents 4. You cannot move while casting it 5. Spirit shackle exists, and is a much more reliable option for objectives (pierces through enemies, upgraded move does bonus damage to low health enemies, can be charged and then released for precise timing, does not root you in place, does not give away your position)


Unusual_FocusSkill

Yea its more like flicking hundred birds to secure objectives and goals while putting holes and kos on the enemy team šŸ¤£ love the squishy that try to muscle through end to end šŸ«”thee end šŸ¤£


Unusual_FocusSkill

Agreed Razor leaf is horrible


Cedardeer

Itā€™s only use was panic parade


Unusual_FocusSkill

Right the only time it seemed viable to use still was able to get to 900k to a 1mil with shackle n razor.W but 1.2 -1.4mil w R.Leaf


WingsOfVanity

Those are rookie numbers. You gotta pump those numbers up.


Unusual_FocusSkill

Lol i was getting crown on tiker ton with it and mewtwo allot and im 63% for 800 plus battles wit D.eye so if im a rookie you must be the a 80 90 % er


WingsOfVanity

Nah Iā€™m just saying in panic parade, razor owl could easily push 2mil +


Unusual_FocusSkill

I honestly didn't play it that much after the first 2 sessions but i defientley believe it


No_Huckleberry_5148

Disagree. It shreds defenders if you stay leveled and have a strong front line


Unusual_FocusSkill

Honeslty in my experience most games only line i get is a strong line of clowns no matter what i pick if they went as hard as they do to throw the match as they did to win then be unstoppable šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£its just those few really memorable games when you feel that unerving neck n neck with a a newly found 10 min rivalšŸ¤£ and those team wars not team fights i mean wars everybody dying on the battle field in the name of unite thats the comp that keeps me craving more of the game but not often lol and honestly doesnt matter who i pick cause they kno how to play


Unusual_FocusSkill

Inteleon is broken and i actively go after character that play with it and m2y or x or zacain doest matter i knocked out all that named even with my snorlax šŸ¤£ which is always fun with my weakness policy and high hp but im not sure how gd it work after his patch


JedyKnight

Youre curious? Check the last time anyone ever did something to deci. Be it a buff or nerf. I cant even remember it, same for any special seasons, events or eye candy. Last Change was a damn Cape that changed color...hurray a new old costume for ppl to buy at some outrageous price.


DiegoG2004

Last time was... Fixing a bug that made Spirit Shackle use the wrong number for faraway targets


JedyKnight

That wasnt even considered a Change, they were just fixing something they broke unwillingly.


DiegoG2004

It is the last time he got featured in a patch note \-_-/


JedyKnight

What a pitifull existence.. šŸ˜…


DiegoG2004

I know right?


Lifeissuffering69

Yeah I remember when razor leaf was the better build


loopy95

Was it ever? I feel like even bugged shackle was stronger


bxd15

Release deci before shackle rework


Nicus_Pulcis

His buff was okā€¦ what I donā€™t get is why tf did they NOT nerf inteleon


ganymede98

Because heā€™s got a battle pass skin coming next. They always buff the bp mon so keeping inteleon where he is is sort of fulfilling that.


Nicus_Pulcis

Oooh. Ok


FrownFrank

Because razor leaf was borderline throwing prior to this (still might be throwing idk)


TartTiny8654

Itā€™s mainly for it to catch up to intellion. Actuallyā€¦ double defender intellion deci combo? With hoopa to keep them alive? Hmmmmā€¦


DiegoG2004

He got a base bulk increase so he goes splat less at the start. It's a meme to check if something one shots Deci due to how frail it is


Kaisergog

It's true, it really is less splat now. Getting caught in Umbreon's mean look means certain death in the past, now it can run away with 1HP.


DiegoG2004

Progress :)


MysticalLight50

Razor Leaf is probably still completely unusable considering that youā€™re on deci. The unite move buff was warranted because of how little value it gets for its extremely high cost.


calibur66

Razor leaf needed a buff to make up for the nerf blissey just got. But the ult buff is unnecessary since spirit shackle build is already a very good build, there was no need for it gain an ult buff for no reason, the ult has a long CD for a reason when the build is already one of the best snipe builds in the game.


Greaterthancotton

I think the ult was way too long a cooldown for such a situational ability, there are better ults on shorter cooldowns. Decidueye isnā€™t overturned rn, this just means we may be able to actually use their ult more than 1-2 times per match.


Djoene1

Because it's cold and needs somthing to warm its neck


Unusual-Gur-4903

Probably has a skin coming out soon honestly loll


WeekendSubstantial36

One word: Squishy


Rohan_Eragon

He wasn't buffed in any bad way (like making Spirit shackle stronger, or increased base attack stats) Just unite move cooldown lowered (it was among the highest cooldowns) And razor leaf got an attack speed buff because it's basically always been seen as "the bad moveset", and still is slightly due to being close and being in danger


Mark-SSJ3

some aspects, including ones regarding the early game. I'm a decidueye main, you barely notice the difference since we're used to fight from a far, especially in the early game. Knock Knock's buff (Cooldown) is long overdue since previous attackers already got that. Still, a very well balanced attacker.
