Both valk and lawbringer feel weak. I would say lawbringer is the weakest as there are some mechanical issues with him. His combo's dont work... as in there are some moves that are designed to work together in a way... but the timing is off, so the enemy can block / dodge away. Same with valk... has a shield charge and stuff, but cant actually get a lot out of it. Feels really strange.

Shugoki for having a "high health pool" dies near instantly once you purge him of his uninterruptible stance. He easily has the lowest health of all the tanks when accounting for that.
And he just doesn't have enough options to play defensively, especially given how incredibly slow he is and how powerful guardbreak is.
His only saving grace is that his Demon's Embrace throw is great against noobs because then you can heal back some of the inevitable damage you've sustained.
So I vote Shugoki as being weakest followed by Valkyrie. I think that Lawbringer, while also weak, has more options in melee than Shugoki (people complain that LB only has 2 confirmed chains, while shugoki has 0 for example).

Valkyrie. Mained her since the game released and she is lackluster in all fields except trolling. While it's true that she has some cool disables, they're really gimmicky and dependent on hits landing. She's slow as ****, range is deceptively short (considering she has a spear and doesn't move toward her target when attacking, but rather stays in place), and super squishy. She's like all the worst things of every class rolled into one and then given a fancy "can knock people down" sticker, except that sticker has the added caveat that her disables can be dodged very easily.
I think the worst offender thus far is the dependence on her ability to Guard-Dodge and it only working some of the time. I plan on recording a video of it, but I swear I've seen instances where the enemy's weapon will just phase through her guard-dodge like a normal dodge and she's left trying to do a heavy attack rather than Shoulder Pin. It's really frustrating. By far though, her biggest weakness is that she stumbles -CONSTANTLY-, I swear she has the worst footing out of all the characters. I refuse to go anywhere near NPCs in Dominion just because their little stabs can knock her off balance and interrupt her attacks making her super vulnerable to anyone she's attacking.

Valkryie is horrible. Her dodge/block mechanic means that if you don't have perfect timing, you eat a hit. With her low HP pool its a very punishing hit. Its like they tried to make her a high risk/high reward hero and forgot to add the reward. Her moves are risky or easy to dodge and they don't really hit that hard. Going in I thought she would be a glass cannon, but shes like a glass slingshot. She is quite frustrating to play.

Yeah I'm prestige 1 with her currently. Absolutely horrible. Unaware of the state of the other new characters though.Originally Posted by Nickyfazzo Go to original post

Omg, lawbringer and valks sucks so must....
With Lawbringer you can touche anyoneEvery move is so easilly countered, it's terrible...
His combos, move, mechanics, everything is broken with him....
Valks need just a little more damage. And the evade blocking (left or right) isn't working at all (maybe 1 time / 10)...
They are my two favorites character's skins and they are totally wasted...
Please fix it.
