This game has a different inertia calculation than EDF 5. Because of this, EDF 6 Fencer is the fastest in EDF history.

All you have to do is release a max charge Force Axe at slightly after the apex of a jump.













Now you are faster than the fastest Ranger bike without even using dash boost. Force Axe weapons were buffed in EDF 6 so this is also viable for ground combat while being ultra fast.

You can also do this in EDF 5, but Flashing Spears were buffed in EDF 6 and there is a godly DLC Flashing Spear in both DLC 1 and 2 so it really helps learning this technique.

First, equip 2 of the same Flashing Spears. It has to be the same one. You can equip anything you like for the other 2 remaining weapons.

Second, once inside a mission, EMOTE anything while having the other 2 equipment out. "Handsign 3" is the shortest emote and is recommended.

Third, switch to your 2 Flashing Spears while the EMOTE is still active and hold both triggers to shoot both at the same time!

This technique makes Fencer's close quarters DPS as high as a Wing Diver's but with more range, accuracy and even penetration.

Fencer is GODLIKE in this game because I didn't even talk about support items.

You can use shield while Force Axe zooming or dual wield them while using a skeleton to reduce recoil and aim inertia to snipe without sacrificing speed, or buff your shield. Did I mention shields were buffed in this game? Because it was, and it's good. Especially the parrying ones.

You can dash boost and do the twin Flashing Spear trick while in the air to do more damage than the classic shotgun+jackhammer combo. You don't even need dash and boost cells since Fencer comes with 2 of each naturally now, but those add speed while dash boosting.

Don't get me started on Tiger skeleton and Radar skeleton combo (both are DLC items) since walk speed is multiplicative, just like in EDF 5.

I made it sound like EDF 6 is unbalanced but it's not. All but the Wing Diver were buffed significantly and no one is weak. It's just that the Fencer is GODLIKE using these secret techniques.

Have fun!
