    Advice on dodging headbutt and shoulder charge

    Does anyone have any solid advice on dodging these moves?

    All the warlord mains say just dodge headbutt, dodge to the side. For the life of me ive tried and tried and i cant seem to get it right. It feels like it might be a little to fast, unless they are considerably far away.

    As for warden, i personally can get a good dodge about 50% of the time when they arent physically touching me already, but the BIG problem is when they cancel to guard break. Obviously dodging gives them a free gb, so your choices are wait to see if they charge or if they gb. Personally when i wait i can stop the gb, but if they DO charge its too late to dodge.

    Alot of warden players tell me to usually just wait and eat the light attacks rather than eat a heavy off a gb, but the shoulder charge spam feels bad when they get like 6 light attacks off anyway from a chain.

    Against conquerors i can almost always dodge the shield bash, and if its a dodge into shield bash all you're getting is a light attack anyway, and no wall splat. That being said i do main conq and i hear alot of people complain about his shield bash, so if anyone has insight or advice, or maybe think some tweaks are needed i guess tell it here

    While wardens shoulder bash itself is maybe the easiest to avoid. A simple sidestep and you can punish the warden.

    The cancel into a gb is nasty though.

    If you dodge backwards, the warden cannot shoulder bash you OR grab you, it does require a bit of practice, but its viable to do and if you dodged it perfectly you can even get a free light in. You cant do this against a wall, but if you are not against one, you can always safley evade the vortex.
