    Twin dive bomb question

    Sorry if this is the incorrect spot to post this.

    I have an issue with the Dive Bombs Twin has.
    I know people will say that "You see the green mark, move out of the pit. Simple"
    I am trying that but it feels like every time I move Twin turns to look at me THEN dive bombs hitting everyone from behind and into the middle. I guess I'm moving too early or something. I assumed you move as soon as you see the mark.

    So the question is that Am I moving too early? If so how long should I be waiting? I really am moving out of the pit as soon as I see it. Its really annoying cause I can't seem to get past the snakes cause everyone else seems to die due to the damage they already took from the dive bomb.

    You're correct to move as soon as you see it. EVERYONE needs to move with you, or they're prone to be hit. Timing can be tricky there, even if there's no lag or anything. But as the marked target, if you move too early or too late, or if you're not exactly up against the death wall without touching it), it will throw off her trajectory and people will get hit.

    You can do it. Keep trying

    You need to be moving BEFORE everybody else. You cannot rely on others on when to move because there's 1-2 sec sync delay between players.

    If you moving when you should, then the fault lies elsewhere. It's usually because someone wasn't close enough to the wall. Everybody needs to be packed in tight and move the instant you see and hear the marker.

    Easy way to tell if the problem is people standing too far up or people being too slow to move is to keep an eye on Twintania when she appears to do the divebomb. If she's facing towards the center of the arena then someone is too far up.

    Judging by the responses maybe someone was too far up. Probably me. T_T I usually put myself where everyone is cluttered. I'm kinda close to the wall. Perhaps the center of the pit? I just know that when the mark appeared I ran like normal, saw Twin turn around then hit everyone. Maybe I need to be closer to the wall. Ugh this is frustrating. I feel like I could beat him or get close if I could just make it past that without issues.

    Turns out that might have fixed my issue. I can make it to twisters now. Just gotta find a way to attack without losing my focus target on Twin. Thanks for the help folks. ^^

    You loose your focus target on twin? When does this happen? IIRC there is a time where it disappears but returns on its own. Your SHIFT+F shouldn't just go away though if you are targeted on the dread.

    To add to this, square on the controller brings up the context menu and you can select Focus Target from there if you are using gamepad.

    If you are already doing this Nep Nep, maybe you are just forgetting to re-do the Focus Target between attempts as it doesn't carry over when you wipe.

    Isn't focus target when you lock onto the enemy? Like on the controller just tab to them and hit X? *selects Focus Target from the square button menu on the controller* ...Ohhhhh! I never did this! I thought Focus was something else entirely! I feel like a noob for that. And I'm able to see Twin's twister casts from this? Wow this helps a ton. Thanks alot.
