[Guide] A noob's guide to lawbringer so you can stop saying he is bad | Forums

Because the strongest mechanic in the game are parries and Lawbringer gets the most value out of parries.
Light attack parried -> 2 bars gone + blind that may result in another gb, so potentially 3 bars gone
Heavy attack parried -> 1 bar gone
Heavy attack parried that's out of range for a gb -> 1/2 bar gone

So if you are a god at parrying light attacks from all classes then yeah Lawbringer has a lot of power.
He is trash because he is depending on a risky mechanic.
Try parrying attacks from a pk that throws in some feints and you will soon notice how you are out of tools

Had a good laugh. Thanks.

I haven't dealt with it often, so I can't remember if Shove is beaten by other bash attacks. If it is...well, that's a problem. Shugoki's hyper armor allows him to ignore *all* attacks aside from GBs. Not even my LB's Long Arm works on him with his hyper armor active.

Lawbringer is just bad at everything except moving people. He is a counter attacker that can barely punish anyone for getting parried; the best he can do is a light attack 95% of the time. His attacks are extremely slow for everything except his top light attack so he is easy to BE PUNISHED. One thing to make him good is to give him hyper armor on his heavies, that way at least he needs to be parried instead of just interrupted. There are obviously better ways to make him good, but i cant recall any of them right now lol. The main reason why people play him at all is because he cools so awesome and he has an INTERESTING kit. But as of now, Lawbringer is definitely the worst class (tied with raider) in everything except 4v4's. He seriously needs a rework to make him better in 1v1 and 2v2's.

Like really? LB is one the strongest punisher when it comes to parry, he gets any light parry and that's it 3 of your bars of hp gone. Characters that rely heavily on light attacks like Nobushi, Orochi are easily punished for this. He's only weak in competitive play against the top tier characters like WL, Warden, Valk, PK, Conq, and they can pretty much beat any other classes if played well. Compare Raider to LB is a joke, a decent LB will beat a good Raider anytime of the day.

You can score good hits in fights against multiple opponents by switching your lock on to your opponent almost as soon as the move comes out, it swing around so fast it's damn difficult to parry.

But otherwise you are right. It's rare another Lawbringer will hit me with either the final attack of the three chain combo or the over head counter (as it's not often I throw out over head lights) because I know I can just parry that attack, and there is no point me throwing out one either because most people can just counter mine.

3 bars of your hp? It does 45 (not even 2 bars). To put that in perspective, a standard PK guard break does 41. If you're near a wall that can go up to 66 or 75.

He's garbage because his only option is to parry the opponent. Trying to attack himself just gets HIM parried since his attacks are so slow. On top of that his damage is ****.

I'm prestige 5 with LB, and I love him. My K/D is around 2.0 with him in almost all game types. Haters gonna hate. I was watching Tru3Talent wreck with him earlier today too.

[Derioth]

Prestige 10, and still most favorite character. Cmon, who dont want to be badass walking golem covered in full plate armor?. Its hard with him, but not impossible. Regarding to parry, he is best punisher, you can hit distant foes, very usefull against nobushi for example, and believe it or not, top heavy really works against certain enemies. I continue to believe that he will get buffed, and after that it will really great.
