Do certain characters have natural advantages against others? | Forums

I am wondering though if certain characters have a natural advantage towards others? I like to play an Orochi and each time I deflect a blow from a Berserker and go for my follow up attack they seem to attack right through it to where my light attack doesn't even land because their second light attack stagger me. It has come down to me no longer trying to deflect blows from them.

the Berserker seems very fast compared to others and the fact that they have two axes. Such as the Viking Raider and the Kensei have much more range.

Quite simply put, yes they do.

However while they may have an advantage against one type, they will have a disadvantage to balance it.

The Orochi is being called OP and people want it nerfed, but as you say, it can be countered. Each class has benefits, but pays for them. Try being a Conqueror chasing down a Berserker when they are the last enemy. One on one, the Conqueror is better armoured and armed. Run around a bit and they lose stamina then get a face full of axe.

You don't loose stamina from running.
And in 1vs1 are assassins op because of their defelct and the following special move. And they hit faster than the other heroes and do the same damage. But they have a much harder harder time against multiple opponents than the other heroes. In Dominion assassins are balanced, but in duel and brawl they are better than other heroes.

To my mind there are no characters who have a natural advantages against others. There are only characters who are generally stronger in 1vs1 than others.

Berserkers attack much faster imo.

Berserker is an assassin :P.

I feel like Conq has a natural advantage against Kensei since they rely on combos and the superior block from the Conq shield forces them to restart the combo. Not an insurmountable advantage, but I'm sure it's annoying for the Kensei.

Yeah you right .

Yeah, they do and they also have disadvantages.

And each class should be played as their own class (which may take some practice and getting used to if you've been maining a single class). You don't simply jump from orochi to conq or raider and expect to succeed with the same approach to the class as you would've with you orochi.
