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: 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁, 𝗙𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘀𝘀𝘂𝘀, 𝗨𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 and 𝗩𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝘀𝘁.For more information I recommend reading this wiki article: 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸.𝘄𝗶𝗸𝗶/𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆_𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗲/𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆_𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗲_𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹 Additionally, this video by Cyrus on youtube does an excellent job covering the subject for beginners: 𝗵𝘁𝘁𝗽𝘀://𝘆𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘂.𝗯𝗲/𝟭𝟬𝗿𝘁𝟲𝗵𝗪𝗳𝟲𝗳𝗬0 items
