    Need advice (Warden)

    Hi guys! I'm trying to main Warden but there are some that I'm having a lot of trouble fighting.

    Noboshi
    She's always out of reach and I don't know how to close the distance. Tried the sprinting + heavy for the running slash. Tried sprinting then rolling straight forward to avoid the first attack. Tried creeping closer and blocking everything. None has worked. Only thing I've had success with is getting an inexperienced player stuck against a wall.


    Oroshi + Berserker
    They're basically the same problem. They rush in, spam light attacks til out of stamina and then run away - or dash away. I can't interrupt their attacks because they attack faster then me. Tried blocking all their attacks til they're out of stamina but then I can't chase them once they dash out of reach. And I can't guard break as long as they're attacking. Sometimes I manage to land a light if they try to guard break. Otherwise the only thing that really works is the area attack but it takes half my stamina - so it's risky.


    Generally I thought maybe I should work on my parry and crushing top counter attack? But I'm having a hard time with the timing...


    Need all the advice I can get ^^

    Practice with Lvl 1 and 2 bots. Unfortunately you can't pick who you play against in bot practice but it helps with timing. Level 3 practice is Valkyrie who attacks pretty fast with good shield interrupts so that should also help.

    If you want to do what this guy suggested which is practice against bots, you're better of practicing against the characters you have trouble with. Go create a custom match, make a level 3 bot and choose nobushi, then practice against that. Use level 3 because they'll be using more of their move set like a real player would.

    Hi , im playing on Ps4 and only as Orochi , Im Level 2/15 on him .

    All nobushi is strong at is at her Range and poison so she will try keep u at distance where she loves it as u noticed , Myself i have no problem against her and i must admit i beat 95% of the nobushis if its 1vs1 , probably im a counter since im orochi . But what i do is Straight to the point rush forward near to her without trying to block anything since shes fast at attacking too . I just do it like that - I keep her marked " sword out " and go bit closer but still not that she can hit me , and if im getting soon closer in range to be hit i just rush forward with with my forward step " the same button u press to back up , It is 2x x at playstation , The button u use to roll if u press it once without guard up . As orochi i step forward than very fast and can throw light attacks very fast . In that position she is in stress trying to do something against u , U should just freaking annoy her at close range throw light attacks left right up not always same . It depends on charakter and skill too most but ye thats all i can say from my side , she never was problem for me , The problem i have at with orochi is enemies with shields , cause the ppl that block with shield can just attack me back and im pretty squishy or guard break me than. At Guard break is my main problem also , But iheard in next patch it gets changed =) what u need to do right now against guard break is the moment he Touches u u need click the button u guard break too . When u see the shield look when he touches u and click it immidietly , also if u keep throwing light attacks or strong he cant guard break u ,only if u shield , parry or stay still .

    Against orochi i would recomend to parry my first two or 3 attacks it is till u can use against me a light attack or guard break , I noticed after like 3 parrys he makes a short pause , So u shouldnt wait till his stamina is done fully , U should never use a heavy attack against a orochi since he side step and hit u , and many times he side steps always when u want throw attacks , but side steps need timing too . what i would recommend is parry 2 , 3 attacks and than try guard break him and hit him .
