Skating

Titan
Use Strafe Lift and Lion Rampant for the best outcome.
Jump into the air, pull out your sword and swing, and swap back. Zoom.

Hunter
Use Triple Jump and Stompies to go the fast..
Same thing as titan. Jump, swap and swing.

To go even faster, equip shatterdive.
While running off a ledge, swap to your sword and swing it WITH THE HEAVY ATTACK , jump, and shatterdive very quickly. Must be done within a few frames.

Warlock
Use Burst Glide and Transversive Steps.
Once again you should jump into the air and swap to your sword and swing it.
To go faster, use icarus dashes after each sword swing.

The fastest way to use this sword is with the Well of Radiance super.
It's the same way as shatterdive skating, except instead of pressing the shatterdive button you use your super. So while running off a ledge, you would swap and swing with the heavy attack, jump, and pop your super all within a few frames.

The most important thing to do during skating is to STAY OFF THE GROUND.
If you stay off the ground you will continue your momentum. Otherwise you will crash and burn.

Update on needleskating: You don't neseccairly need lightning surge, Needlestorm and Eager edge do just fine. Swap to sword, heavy attack, within a few frames use needlestorm

Needleskating is also a thing on Warlock using prismatic Needlestorm and Lighting surge. Basically you use your Lighting surge (slide melee) and cast your super almost immediately after. Timing is hard to get down but its easier to learn for players because you can do it without eager edge. I think there is a way to go even faster using eager edge and blink but I'm not really sure on how to do that

Dont use a written guide if you cant read

TurtleneckPants [author] 12 Jun, 2023 @ 11:26am

No, because you obviously didn't read the wellskate/shatter skate part. You read the normal swings. Sorry I do not have the crayons to explain it to you like the thousand destiny youtubers out there.

Is that why I followed this and it didn't work (because starting with a jump isn't how you do it), but I looked up a guide made by a not r***** and it worked first try?

TurtleneckPants [author] 12 Jun, 2023 @ 6:12am

The steps are "press 3 buttons"

Elkstone 12 Jun, 2023 @ 5:24am

So this is missing a ton of steps to make this actually function

You can skate on a titan using bubble, works the same way as wellskate and shatterskate, but way harder timing

@Bossloaf Its to fast i keep hitting wall and die cause it so fast esspecialy with stomp ees

also, for some reason, if you start a swipe on the ground, you can swipe twice under the effect of eager edge
might be a glitch, might be animations
