Serious talk: Conqueror most broken class ingame | Forums

[Aarpian2]

Yall really need to Check the damn Tier list.
Conqueror is a B-Tier in every damn Mode.
Literrally the worst character along side Raider.

That tier list is absolute garbage.

There is no such thing as a tier list at this current state of the game. Its only been 3 days since the game released. Now the Conqueror is my absolutely favorite hero out of the rest of the cast, and there is nothing that is broken about him. I would rather not talk how my playstyle of him works but otherwise hes fine. REP 1/ LVL 19. 91.6% on Duels and 4.79 KDA, just to show im not biased.

Because??
Saving strats for Evo or what. Sharing tech is the only way everybody improves, including yourself. That's a narrow mindset to have.

Very lovely Video.
Also they Adress the whats really broken about the conqueror. You cant Charge up your heavy and counter a break. Which Ruins the whole Aspect of conquerors strongest attack.... if you charge ur heavy all the enemy has to do is get up Close and press the damn square Button and nothing you can do about it. And this gets you raging mad against damn peacekeepers. This needs really to be changed.

Also as of Late im getting so many attacks getting trough my block, You block, but you still get hit. Or sit in your autoblock and get Hit... So annoying... anyone else?

This has actually been happening to me a lot, specifically against peacekeepers. Straight through resting block with no attempt from me to parry.

I main conq and really my only real complaint is you can't counter guard-break while charging up your heavy. That's the only thing I think is broken about the class. If you're charging up your heavy literally all the enemy has to do is tap GB and you're ****ed, you have literally no defense against it. I don't think enemies should be given a guaranteed "I-Win" button just because you're using one of your skills. I don't see anything wrong with letting Conq counter guard-break while charging up, it still breaks his charge and still requires timing to counter it, but for some reason he can't.

Yep, Peacekeepers and nobushi are the ones that can hit you WHILE you're blocking their direction.

Peacekeeper is the worst offender because they get their free hit, and THEN get the "blocked" hitstun animation, which they just dash out of, or spam click through.

I always notice it on their left light stab, (where we block right side).

The nobushi get their right quick stab through, (where we block left), unfortunately due to their character mechanics, they don't even get the after "blocked" hitstun, so it is less noticeable.

I'll try to get a shadowplay of the PK getting a freestab then being blocked anim after, today.

The shield bash is absolutely worthless. It is beaten by any attack every time.

Conqueror was awesome in the beta and it's gimped now. Period.

[GereinathHunter]

Dodge shield bash can be followed by an unstoppable light attack if they end up in range, which they usually do.

Every fight I've ever had with a Conqueror has been shoulder charge -> light attack -> shoulder charge -> light attack -> shoulder charge -> light attack, just in an endless loop where you can't do anything if they start it when you're below half stamina because it depletes it and continues depleting it through exhaustion, causing you to always be knocked down in a permastun. It has range enough to go through a back dodge and the recovery time after being hit by the light attack is too long to get in a side dodge, even then it homes in on you, so unless you get in a lucky break of them forgetting to push buttons you're stunlocked to death every single time. The few times I managed to not get locked down I got hit by the charge and dodged back because the enemy delayed, then their light attack makes them warp forward to me to land it anyways, causing the whole thing to start over again.

Conqueror is only broken in that their dominant strategy is a cheesy shoulder charge combo. Reminds me of crap like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FZfxNs4EXM

Not necessarily because of that. My playstyle revolves around utilizing his kit as much as possible i.e shield bash/charged heavy cancels etc. I also use the environment ALOT to get a ton of heavies. For that playstyle I in turn receive alot of salt.

EDIT: Theres alot of mixed opinions here, with some saying shield bash is not very good whilst others compare it to as the most broken skill in the game.

I played Conqueror since closed Beta, it's my favorite but getting more worse every day. He's really getting nerfed dead. The fast fighters are getting better and more skilled every day and against speed the Conqueror is useless. Moving his shield from one side to the other takes way too long, for a heavy class he has too less life, damage output and speed is absolute crap, and so on... So i still love the way he is played but it's less fun every day. He could need at least one more moveset. For now i stop playin him and take a try with the berserker, getting more easy kills is more fun. At least at higher skilled fights, there is no land for the conqueror.
