Conqueror block-all-attacks stance with a joypad. | Forums

[WhoDaresWins]

It's really, really, awkward to try and keep up your 'deflect all attacks'/defence stance/whatever it's called on a joypad. The reason for this is pretty simple. The width between the left and right stances is so narrow that unless you are perfectly and permanently holding the right-analogue akin to a statue it is very, very, likely that the game is going to put you into another stance. When you're taking blows left and right this can and will get you killed very, very, quickly.

It feels like every time I try and use it I'm fighting against the controller rather than enemy players.

Changing it so you toggle the ability by 'clicking' the analogue stick would probably work better.

I agree! It could be the click of the right stick, or a wider area in the bottom of the stick. Right now ik can only do it reliably in the heat of battle 2 out of 3 times. Wich is silly, because its intended to be a simple input. Its not a high skill level combo . And using it as a means of feiniting(as suggested in the advanced combat video) is way too hard right now.

Also agree on this as a lvl 16 Con I have the same issues

Haven't played Conqueror a lot, only lvl 5 with him, but I agree with this. It does feel kinda awkward and unreliable

Conqueror is BS at times. I just got done with a game where the guy would attack then instantly to a unblockable Armed / Unarmed, which is a shield bash knocking you backwards, and then attack again in that rotation like 6 or 7 times within the same stamina bar, pushing me back more and more until falling off something. That **** is broken. And it happened over and over again and i never had time to counter b/c i was still staggered from the unblockable. FIX THAT!

If you hold down on the stick as you click it in, it will register consistently.

yeah i noticed this happened to me a lot too, if you are even slightly off to the left or right it doesn't work.

Did anyone notice that there was a stance (lasting an instant) that blocks all, and a MODE that activates and continuously block all?

And both of them activate by downing the joystick.... not usefull at all !
