Hm, so what priority is it exactly? By the sound of it long range attacks would be key to stopping it, but it was able to stagger Squall through quite a few of his high priority attacks. All I can say at this point is that Ultimecia might be tough for me considering I mostly use Firion and Cloud mixed with other melee characters.

Hmm... unfortunately I haven't used uncharged enough for me to specify its priority, but charged has high priority I know that for sure. Not a lot of attacks can go through it.

I'm almost positive the uncharged lance has Magic Mid Priority, I've seen alot of Melee attacks go right through it. Maybe i just have bad luck, Cause i haven't been able to get through any Melee attacks with it when i've used her so far. xD

That being said it's pretty much only good as a GTFO move to Surprise the Opp, Cause if they suspect you're going to do it they can eat right through it with a melee attack.

Don't get me wrong i'm not saying it's a bad move, Just the priority of it kinda turned me off at first.

I always saw Uncharged Spear as a punisher for close range. You could also rush in and use a Charged Spear to make the enemy block, expecting a whiffed Uncharged Spear.

Great vid though Robo, definitely shows the greatness of Knight's Spear, and the Phantom Train stage

Have you worked on any EX Revenge techniques with her yet?

Dunno about uncharged Knight Spear's priority, but I know I've dashed right through it a couple times before. Maybe that helps?

this knights spear guard got some ridiculous priority and it doesnt get destroyed either and use I both of tifa's air hp attack and that thing actually hit me is mind blowing how gud this brv attack is

ultimecia just became a big threat to all characters is hard to get close to her thx to this brv and u do not want to be far from ultimecia where she can throw a barrage of magic axe and arrows u cant deflect

Learned first-hand a few days ago how you can get totally annihilated by an Ultimecia using KSG.
If you're in a small stage, think twice before rushing in to attack while she's charging one up. -shivers-

yeah im playing prologus and almost got pwn by a cpu Ultimecia in hard arcade mode
i rushed, she did like Assist > charged Knight Spear > apocalypse

This isnt super broken though since it can be hard to master the timing on it for every HP in the game. Its really a great way to save yourself after a bad dodge though. I've gotta play more Ulti online, Garland is too much fun in this game for me to really get into Ulti xD

I just got caught in a very unfortunate loop involving Knight's Spear... Coincidentally, I was in Ultimecia's Castle. She set the Knight's Spear in such a place that it knocked me up into a black hole- and I happened to teleport right back down to where the Spears were set up, so I just kept hitting the Spears and being knocked back into the hole for a while. VERY painful and unfortunate experience- couldn't seem to find a way out of it, either.
