What is an HMC and how do I do one?
HMC stands for Heavy Melee Cancel. HMC is a tech revolving around using certain active-items and abilities to cancel a heavy melee attack. To get an idea of what this looks like buy Fleetfoot and charge up a punch. Let go of the melee key as soon as a heavy melee has been channelled and any time during the swing activate Fleetfoot. If done correctly your character should instantly stop swinging and perform their active item animation, allowing you to instantly heavy melee again or perform other actions. Ivy can also perform an HMC using stone form, simply follow the steps above but replace Fleetfoot with Stone Form and you can replicate the same success. Not every active-item in Deadlock can HMC, only the following items can: ๐๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ๐๐ณ๐ผ๐ผ๐, ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฒ๐, ๐๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ, ๐๐ผ๐น๐ผ๐๐๐๐, ๐จ๐ป๐๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ and ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐บ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐.For more information I recommend reading this wiki article: ๐ต๐๐๐ฝ๐://๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ธ.๐๐ถ๐ธ๐ถ/๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐_๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ/๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐_๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐ฒ๐ฒ_๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐น Additionally, this video by Cyrus on youtube does an excellent job covering the subject for beginners: ๐ต๐๐๐ฝ๐://๐๐ผ๐๐๐.๐ฏ๐ฒ/๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฟ๐๐ฒ๐ต๐ช๐ณ๐ฒ๐ณ๐ฌ0 items
