    And b4 it's said I played orochi for 2 hrs 1v1 2v2 and killed it just pecking away at my opponents hit move hit move dash attack and sneak in a heavy hit for ****'s and giggles when it looked good imo maybe a slight adjustment to damage

    I agree, Orochi are pretty OP. It's all I ever run into in Duels and about 8 times now in Dominion I've run into full Orochi enemy teams; which is actually really funny. My friend whom I gave an alpha key to just continues to make fun of them for being weebs and fotm bandwagoners but that aside... it really is about patience fighting against them. Most of the ones I fought just spam their little OP move and dodge, and now I kind of am getting used to it and am able to time a heavy attack to hit them right when they do it.

    They work like little robots basically. Just memorize their moves and what they do. Granted some of them get lucky with their class and will kill you anyway. Sucks, but it's Alpha. Hopefully the Devs will balance them out later.

    looks like many ppl got "Orochi" pest problem playing as conqueror 1vs1 today and facing like 6 Orochi and i only lose once (and instantly got a 3-0 comeback at 2nd round). I believe their signature attack comes from top (non stanced attack) and right side (Iai and normal light attack) which all of them relies on speed. If you can manage to read their pattern, you'll do just fine.

    As a Conqueror main, I've had no problem killing anyone in this game since our shield stop all combo's once we block. We are the counter to assassin classes. Out of the 20 or so duels I did yesterday, only an Kensai managed to kill me twice (and he was the only one to kill me twice out of all my duels. Damn guard breaks), but I still won the game overall. So far my Conqueror is undefeated in Duel. Kensai are the ones that give me problems, but Orochi are push overs once I stop their combo's. Also my reflexes are pretty good for blocking.

    Don't Know bout that, I only use the Kensei and went up against a Warden, and he couldn't touch me, course I don't go rushing in, i wait for them to attack

    Just fought several duels vs an orochi as a warden. Basically, don't ever attack first because their dodge+attack+gaurdbreak+attack is ********.

    I am now playing as an orochi, and this is so broken. Once you get a combo going you can easily do 75% dmg every time.

    Yeah, that's how I play too. If they get used to the sidestep dodge counter, I get close to throw them off and guard break, heavy attack.

    I find the Orochi, Kensei and Raider the most played characters since they can literally destroy the other classes
