The Kensei has an exploit where they are able to stun lock an opponent and do a powerful vertical attack while the opponent can do nothing about it, Kensei players would spam this. Knight faction feels weak compared to all the other factions. Warden class feels like it is lacking in any sort of unique combos or moves compared to others. The Conqueror class feels super weak, it lacks range, speed, and damage. Conqueror is really slow at attacking making it almost impossible to win a fight against an Orochi or Berserker. It's range is absolutely awful, allowing opponents to still hit you good while staying completely out of your reach. The damage is like hitting someone with a pillow, light attacks are a joke and heavy attacks don't even stand a chance at all compared to other classes. The defense aspect of the Conqueror is okay but I feel that at least one of those I said about the Conqueror above should be buffed or changed because it is the weakest class by far.
I went almost entirely undefeated in duels as the Conqueror, and felt great playing him. When fighting other Conqueror's I didn't feel they were unbalanced, they just take a careful approach to us effectively, that the AI and impatient players don't adjust well too. Damage, Defense and all around skills felt great, and I probably spent 75% of my time playing using him.
As a Conq main there were only two classes that I really didn't want to face.
1. Orochi - Because they are fast little buggers who won't stand still and allow me to kill them.
2. Other Conquerers - Because they take a punch like a brick wall and retaliates like a truck.
All other classes I felt like I could handle fairly well. That said I've been carried tenderly toward my doom by a number of Raiders, been three-shoted by the Kensei's heavy combo, been totally outmanoeuvred by the berserker and completely torn to shreds by the Warden.
Only when my opponent was Orochi or Conq did i have to stop and rethink my life choices.
The conqueror is not too weak. If you practice you defence and punishes, use your shield.. You'll curb-stomp people left, right and center. If you try to play conq like any other class you're in for a beating. Each class is different, use the strengths, not the weaknesses.
Kensei exploit? You know you can parry his chain finishers? I'm a conqueror main also, and like everyone stated, he is slow but hits hard. Charged heavy attack that can block & counter.. plus you can follow it up with unblockable shield charge for offensive mix-ups. Good conquerors can be tough to fight.Originally Posted by tyelee77 Go to original post
This doesn't work. Literally every class can block the heavy attack in time.Originally Posted by ShoNuff Kay Go to original post
If you have the attack already charged and release the button with the same timing you would Parry, you will guarantee a hit.Originally Posted by AliceTheSilent Go to original post
The Conqueror is not weak. I don't believe they're OP either, but they are very strong. I played Conq almost exclusively and only lost 2 Duels, and regularly won 1v2, 1v3, even 1v4 in Dominion.
