I wish everyone had a spamable emote like Lawbringer or Conqueror do, S tier stuff right there
Is the Warden any good?
Just got noticed of this game and he looks amazing.
Yep
team knight if u want to be spared when lord jesus resurrects
Stop hiding from my blade, Nick.
i like when kenseis realize dodge+light won’t work.
lawbringer shove is great.
more characters need things like shove and nobushi backdash on block to encourage blocking instead of just parrying. making parrying harder isn’t a solution really.
the solution is to make block and parry distinct options with their own advantages. since you don’t need to guess for a parry there’s really not much danger to it unless the game lags.
I think parrying is fine how it is. You’ll get blown up at higher levels for just attempting to parry, because people will just bait it, feint, and punish you.
I wonder how you fix the game devolving into parry fishing
Though I guess it is that way because your defensive options are really just "don’t get hit"
No reason to risk attacking if you’ll just lose half of your life bar for it and then get put into a vortex depending on the character
If the game needs more safe normals than it needs some kind of burst mechanic so one mistake doesn’t kill you
reminder there’s a parry/feint OS so if you get baited, you’d feint otherwise.
So far my answer to the OS is feint into a light attack
Yup. That’s why I like to switch things up as much as possible.
Feint x Parry
Feint x Top Light
Feint x Guard Break
Feint x Side Dodge Light/Heavy/Guard Break/Zone (Depending on the character)
The mind games get crazy real quick and it becomes a game of Chicken… Who’s gonna commit first?
It’s been a nice couple of weeks, but I’m probably giving up on the game until there’s a big update. The lack of proper ranked/competitive modes, even the most rudimentary balancing and the extremely shallow gameplay just means I can’t justify playing it over SFV, KI or Rev2.
I taught one of my best friends pals who was new to the game and wanted to play Warden how to vortex and ZAFC yesterday.
I felt my soul slowly leave my body.
Oh lol the Conqueror speaks Latin like everyone else. Well at least the mystery is solved.
How does parry work xactly
You press heavy+the right direction when the red arrow flashes right before the hit.
Dodge shoudl cost stamina
I’ve been playing more and more Dominion strangely enough
It’s not balanced at all but my gear score is getting pretty high so I can deal with the bs
For Honor v1.03 patch notes – General
[details=Spoiler]Feats
Shugoki
Fixed a bug that caused players to lose the “Hard to Kill “ Feat upon death.
Orochi & Berserker
Addressed bugs with their area of effect (AOE) ground Feats not working if the player stopped moving
The Orochi’s Nail Bomb & the Berserkers Stun Trap Feats now apply their damage effects correctly to characters who trigger the trap, but stop moving towards the trap, as it was intended.
Valkyrie
The Valkyrie Bloodlust Feat is now triggered on all types of kills as it was intended.
Berserker, Warlord, & Valkyrie
Tweaked the “Rush” Feat animation transition bug from idle to sprint animations
Fight
All Fighters
We reverted the Guardbreak mechanics to the Beta behavior in order to have it be a more usable skill. Guardbreak is no longer un-counterable if you’re Guardbroken during Guardbreak startup.
Attacks that cannot be blocked because they are too fast no longer display the Unblockable Attack feedback.
Fixed camera clipping issues with walls on executions
Peacekeeper
Some tweaking was made on the Peacekeeper during the Beta, which caused some bugs and unintended changes. We are changing some of her moves to behave as designed.
Fixed the Peacekeeper Guardbreak and Bleed stacking bug
Stab 1 applies 2 dmg + 15 Bleed dmg over 10 sec
Stab 2 applies 2 dmg + 12 Bleed dmg over 8 sec
Stab 3 applies 2 dmg + 9 Bleed dmg over 6 sec
Bleed damage now stacks up for a total of 36 dmg, in the Beta this total was higher (45dmg) but has been reduced for balancing along with the accompanied bug fix
Increased the range of the Peacekeeper Stab Attack to fix issues with missed stabs and therefore not applying Bleed
Stab range increased from 1 m to 2 m
Changed the range distance of the Peacekeeper Light Attack. She can now connect a Light Attack after a parry.
Normal Light Attacks had their range increased by 0.25 m; from 2.75 m to 3 m
Berserker & Conqueror
Light Attack recoveries decreased to prevent free Guardbreak on Block. This was never the intended behavior.
Berserker’s Light Attacks and chained Light Attacks recoveries on Block reduced from 900 ms to 700 ms
Conqueror’s Light Attacks and chained Light Attacks recoveries on Block reduced from 900 ms to 700 ms
Valkyrie
Overall Valkyrie gameplay update/buff. We found that the changes we made during our latest Technical Test were impacting too much the dueling abilities of the Valkyrie. She has gone from the 1st place in Win/Loss in Duel to the last spot. We’ve made some of her moves a little faster and we’ve added some mix-ups.
Pouncing Thrust & Hunter’s Strike damage increased from 12 dmg to 17 dmg
Pouncing Thrust & Hunter’s Strike can link into Light Chain faster: from 400 ms – 900 ms to 200 ms – 500 ms
Light Attacks recoveries reduced by 100 ms
Light Attack Miss Recovery 900 ms to 800 ms
Light Attack Hit Recovery 700 ms to 600 ms
Light Attack Interrupt Block Recovery 800 ms to 700 ms
Light Attack Regular Block Recovery 700 ms to 600 ms
Light Chain second Attack Startup reduced by 100 ms, recoveries reduced by 100ms
Light Chain second Attack Startup 600 ms to 500 ms
Light Chain second Attack Miss Recovery 800 ms to 700 ms
Light Chain second Attack Hit Recovery 600 to 500 ms
Light Chain second Attack Interrupt Block Recovery 700 ms to 600 ms
Light Chain second Attack Regular Block Recovery 600 ms to 500 ms
Shield Crush can now be chained into Light Chain
After 400 ms into Hit Recovery
After 500 ms into Miss Recovery
Hunter’s Rush Recoveries shortened by 200 ms
Miss recovery 1000 ms to 800 ms
Hit recovery 800 ms to 600 ms
Interrupt Block recovery 900 ms to 700 ms
Regular Block recovery 800 ms to 600 ms
Orochi
Increased the dodge back on the Orochi’s “Riptide Strike”
Increased the backward displacement from 1.75 m to 2 m

Conqueror getting buff on light attacks it looks like. I’ve been doing well with him regardless. Infinite light chains mixed with heavy, shield smash and guard break seems to give people a hard time.
Also someone posted a vid on reddit of conqueror putting the opponent into a stagger state. He was charging his chain and hit the feint button as the other guy tried to guard break and it sent him staggering backwards as the conqueror moved in for his own guard break.
It isn’t a buff, it’s a fix. You could guard break both the Berserker and Conqueror after blocking their light attacks
Are you guys ready for the peacekeeper army
