They are just fine at dealing with anyone provided you don't spam heavy attacks and work with the tools you're given.Originally Posted by To_Obi Go to original post
No. That is correct.Originally Posted by darkbluenc Go to original post
Even though Raider heavies are the definition of devastation, their lights are pretty invaluable for punishes.
I can't see the "tools".. For me, Raider is lacking some sort of reliable offensive combo that could deal damage.
Heavy strikes are so slow and predictable that you can just use them for feinting and if you manage to "punish" your opponent all you can connect to is a light attack.
That feels just weak compared the others
The Raider's tools are throws, easy feint acces and chaining an unbloackable attack into every combo.
The 3xheavy combo is indeed slow, but you never use it against an enemy your're facing in 1v1. Doing a heavy - light - heavy is usually better because you can switch attack direction on the go with decent speed.
Youre in for a treat then. At first he seems slow and sluggish and it comes of as a major disadvantage. But once you learn to time his attacks, chain them and most importantly feint, he becomes a beast.Originally Posted by Rimfrostr Go to original post
I mained him in closed beta and it seems he remained untouched since then.
Really wellrounded class with some serious hard hits.
Dash forward or sideways (A) and then hit light attack (RB).Originally Posted by Aedum1 Go to original post
As of now, no, unless you just want to disrupt your opponent's rhythm. Noobs might panic if they get kneed but you're right, Raider is the only Vanguard that cannot get a free heavy off a stun or parry. This will hopefully get fixed soon.Originally Posted by Slyzorok Go to original post
