Thing things, I have to say about Vikings. Shoving holy **** the carry throw is insane. Every time I'm in a match with them they carry throw from behind and it I game over. 2 the warlord has auto revive ya no get that out of the game I can't count the number of time now I have killed a warlord and he shows up 10 seconds later and picks me up from behind and ****ing shoves me of a cliff or edge. And finally the shields on all shield guys get that block all off of them hole ****ing **** that is o ****ing p. **** **** ****ing ****

I feel like the Raider fails to do what he's supposed to excel at and the risk/reward isnt even in his favor at a high level where people are teching guard breaks consistently.. seeing as your left with only doing light attacks after successful parries, forward throws, and stunning taps. Ideally if the Raider were to be adjusted, all I would want is guaranteed guard breaks after parries and 1 guarenteed heavy attack after both a guard break and a forward throw where you chuck the opponent to the ground (not when you stun them against a wall).

I already posted a thread talking about this class, but the biggest thing it's the headbutt. It's too fast and it's hitbox and aim is too large. It needs toning down so it can be avoided. With how good you balanced all the classes I can't believe this slipped by. And it has become more apparent because of the good class balance.

I think the berserker needs an heavy nerf. He has 3 hyper armored moves, and two abilities that together are simply too good. He should NOT be able to do an infinite serie of unblockable attacks. He should see removed OR the possibility to infinitely attack with almost no stamina cost, OR to see the unblockable thing removed. Honestly, what counts most is to remove his possibility to attack forever. That's what makes him too good in 1v1.

Everybody else is fine in the vikings.

The only thing too strong about the berserker is its ability to side dodge into an attack. You should be able to dodge back and be completely safe but instead the berserker lunges forward in a lock on animation with no way to dodge. This should be changed to the same mechanic the orochi has. If you side dodge and attack you should just do the attack and not lunge forward. Either all classes should have a forward lunge or no classes at all.

Dude, you seen high level play in this game? I main Beserker (I would say I'm above average at it) and I'm telling you every heavy attack that I don't feint and try to trick the opponent with gets parried against good players. We have good damage and yes we have the uninterruptable leap attacks but again, guess what, that **** is so easily parried that its harder to starve to death in a supermarket!

We have no unblockables by the way, all our attacks can be blocked/parried. Our infinite chain attacks don't count for **** when its against a good player. I watched loads of youtubers/streamers and none chain attack often with the Beserker as its easily parried. And to top it off if you manage to block our light attack then you get a free guard break!!

I can only judge from reading your post that you haven't put enough hours into the game. Don't cry for the nerf bat when the Beserker is anything but OP. At high level it could well be one of the weakest but that's only a guess as I'm not at that level yet.

Yeah thats like not exclusive to the berserker. Dodging back once really isn't good for anything in this game right now.

[Seifer_Firehart]

Yeah, people complaining about Berserker can be just ignored, they clearly haven't learned how to play yet. Or people saying Raider is underpowered.. yeah sure. Grab 2 Win character.

Warlord is still ****ed i told u nerf it in closed beta u slapped it on the wrist now when the people say nerf it we mean smash him good compare him to the conqueror and he is leagues above him he has a massive stamina pool where as the conqueror has a tiny one compared to him compare them make it fair it will ruin the game if everyone just picks this one stupid broken op class. also i belive the warlord is to fast no one cant block his upper heavy attack when stun locked and he carrys you to the ends of the earth really dev team really ?

[Miadous]

As someone mainly using Berserker through these betas, he needs some help. Most classes have more tools and are just more effective. It's hard to do any damage to someone that knows what a parry is. Your only hope is to try feints or play completely defensive to counter so you at least get a light attack to connect after your deflect.
