assassins need a slight side dash nerf | Forums

[xilixer]

side dashing for assassins is too strong. if used they can dodge most if not all attacks with little to no thought on top of them being able to use side dashes WHILE IN RECOVERY. meaning if you have properly punished an assassin accordingly and try to continue pressure while the assassin is staggered they can side dash and counter you instantly. this shouldnt be an option in the game. the best fix for this would be to tighten the window for them to dodge with the side dash. as it is its way too easy to side dash attacks and punish.

I totally agree. assasins in this game dominate anyone.
The dash needs to be lowered and stamina usage higher.
also orochi parry hit needs to be gone.

idk about the parry hit being gone now. but yes, the next best suggestion is to increase the stamina for the side dash so that there is a cost to using such a skill. they can balance it to where everyone has increased stamina cost in dashes to make it more balanced. although i realize that dashing is an important mechanic for assassins it shouldn't be such a easy to use move. there needs to be a cost to using it in much the same way it costs the warlord to enter full blocking stance.
