    Opinions, deciding between Orochi or Beserker

    So i understand these two are the harder ones to master right? I can only afford to buy one of them because i have 600 steel saved up. Is one better than the other at the moment? I like both styles and how they look, so if i could get some opinions on both of them and maybe the differences between the two, that would be appreciated!

    No. Beserker is hard to master. Orochi is probably the strongest, and definitely the easiest, class in the game just now. Just picking him means your opponent will be constantly on the back foot and constantly under pressure, and the entire flow of the fight will be dictated by your. Orochi decide exactly when the other player can attack and must defend, constantly, with incredible stamina and sky-high damage. And some of the most unpredictable combos in the game.

    I vote Beserker, personally, only because the last thing this game needs is any more Orochi.

    If I can give some advice, try playing another character up to a good level before going to an Assassin. They're good characters, but they don't teach the fundamentals of the game quite as well as others do due to their reliance on dodge tactics IMO. Picking one up after working on guardbreak counters, parries and blocks with another, heavier class will lead you to be a much better Beserker player.

    Or don't. It's a game, do whatever you enjoy

    Beserker until they fix orochi

    Beserker until they fix orochi, beserker has a much better set of skills, orochi kinda sucks right now, <<<comming from an orchi primary.

    The Orochi is a solid pick. But it seems he falls to a good warden now.
    Berserker looks more powerful, but it also depends on your ability to be unpredictable and quick.

    I would say no to Berserker. They can't even attack atm without giving away a free grab/heavy. They can only defend. There are other characters with more defensive options around.

    I personally enjoy berserker, but you need to be unpreditable and good with reading your opponemt

    Definitely practice with the Vanguard classes first to get the fundamentals down though. A lot of newer players find the assassin classes to be frustrating to play because they are squishy and they haven't learned how to block and parry reliably. Once you have that and counter guardbreaks down, assassins become very powerful, though not, I would say, OP or even very difficult to kill as some might say.
