I think Sprint Smash -> Jump goes faster if you time it right, dodge jump probably is a bit slower but still faster than running. But both those just eat stamina, so I don't do either.

Vella's counters and dodges are going to take some getting used to...Coming from Fiona, I figured they'd be just like perfect guarding...
NOPE, it's an additional key press AND you can't cancel out of everything you do in order to get into your stance that takes half a second before you can actually do any countering.
So unlike Fiona where you can actually just kinda react to an enemy attack and guard, with Vella you need to think to yourself, "okay, I'm going to counter" and make an effort to NOT go on the offensive so you can do it >_>

My problem with Vella's counter is not the move itself but a bad habit I have of double pressing my dodge key to make sure it register. Slip away when you want to counter isn't so bad but yeah. It could get problematic in the future.

Honestly Vella's attack speed is good enough that I'm not having issues with getting into Cross Stance in time. Still adjusting to the timing, but it's really not too bad.
Though I've been running around in a Veteran Raiment set for way longer than I should be.

I've been having lots of fun while playing her! Although it's taking me awhile to get used to the controls... :(

Guys, make sure that you do not unintentionally press primary and secondary attack at the same time, that screwed me over on the CN server.

I don't get the Blade Heart thing. It's just weird, having a passive skill. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
I'm also really upset that ever other Vella I see has the same hair AND color that I picked. :I But man I love Vella. She's great~

That's since I'm pretty sure CN uses XE, and L+R is the XE attack input.
Not an issue in NA.
And Blade Heart/Pride of Sword is required to have your Cross Cut/Double Cross do anything. No passive Cross Cut is awful and has barely any invincibility. So make sure you whack the boss with a quick normal as soon as you can after Cross Cut/getting hit. It also boosts your damage, but from what I remember from solos: later bosses rarely let you whack them enough for you to get to Lv. 3 Pride, and you'll constantly be burning it around Lv.1/2 for Cross Cuts.

Does blade heart also boost the damage of thunderous squall like the tooltip says or it just affect cross cut?

I'd just assume the tool tip is right for now and that it does boost the damage of all skills that say they are boosted by Blade Heart. I haven't tested enough since my gear is constantly changing right now.

Well, I think I have to buy a premium character slot to try another character, so all the more reason to NOT PLAY THIS BITCH.
*still buys a character slot*

Or you could just make a second account. Seriously I don't understand everyone who bitch about the character slot issues.

That's pretty much what I was assuming. Unless I find out by myself that it doesn't or I see result from people who've done extensive testing I'll assume it to be true. Thanks for the input.

I have to wait another 5-6 days before I can play. (Had to free up a character slot from a mule character...)
I've never played Lann before, will I probably have a bit of trouble getting used to Vella, or is she by far different?
