Quote from TLCBonaparte;1232445:
How do you apply pedal mark? So far the only way I know is to do the fish tail move, normal smash doesn't seem to apply pedal mark for five fingers of death.
Fishtail Pole, Drunk Mantis, and Flying Guillotine are the smash attacks that can apply swift assassins to the enemy. The 2nd smash on each of those are the ones that apply them. After rank C for all of those you can delay the 2nd smash for a very short time and apply a zhen swift assassin to the enemy that has 20% more damage dealt when they are detonated. You can stack up to 10 swift assassins (which can be a mix or zhen or non zhen) which will guarantee a flinch on mobs that can be flinched by specific attacks and will give increased damage bonus.
Other attacks that can land swift assassins to the opponent are Golden Arm (which is ur dodge>smash>smash), Active: Long Armed Devil (an SP move that can stack up to 3 swift assassins if you use the smash button 2 times after usage of the skill). Golden Arm can only put normal Swift Assassins on the opponent while Long Armed Devil can put zhen swift assassins on the opponent if you are in ur special active mode Jade Fox.
Five Finger Death is only meant to do a normal swift assassin detonate on the opponent that already has at least one swift assassin applied to them. Active: Flying Snow can also detonate swift assassins that are stacked on the opponent as long as one hit from Flying snow hits the opponent.
There is a lot more depth I could go into on how lynn works with these types of attacks, but I'm not sure you want to hear them. If you would like me to go into more depth on Lynn then just say so.
