Lawbringer flip lock | Forums

[Shinimas]

Long Arm has a telegraphed animation, stupidly short range, and costs a good chunk of our already pathetic stamina pool. Here's a protip for you: sidestep. Long Arm successfully countered.

Fun fact: did you know that the victim of Long Arm recovers from it just as fast as the Lawbringer, making it impossible for said Lawbringer to actually follow it up with anything? That's right, even flipped onto your back, our attacks are SO DAMN SLOW that you can easily block any followup attack we may attempt.

This is why I only use this ability when an opponent activates Revenge. It's great for burning down your Revenge timer so you can't take advantage of your temporary god-mode.

You are guaranteed a light attack after Long Arm. This was one of the changes since the alpha.

Basically this^, stamina and speed, which the Lawbringer lacks entirely, prevent you being hit with Long Arm more than once and it not being entirely your own fault.

but... he's right. Lawbringer is currently the lowest tier character in the game. in a 1v1, nobody should ever lose to a lawbringer. that being said, if TC was flipped SEVEN TIMES, then he does need to learn how to play. he stayed in that fight for entirely too long when he should have been fleeing. oh... one other thing kid... you started the insults, not Gelo. i wouldn't suggest calling anyone a child in the future if you are going to act like one yourself in the same post.

I couldnt even get up off the ground man, I would agree with you otherwise, but he would flip me, I would begin to stand up, and then he would do it again. There was no chance for me to do anything tbh.

I have started to see this behavior more as of late. I normally will keep my distance whenever possible cuz they are looking to spam that move and if you get stuck against any surface they seem to be able to do it quite often. They bash and attack once and grab and attack then bash and its a pattern. I'm getting better at dealing with it. But not when Im outnumbered.

I learned about this only because of this thread being here. As a Lawbringer main, I was ashamed by how much fun I had making people rage doing this with my friends, but I do hope they patch it soon. It's not healthy for the game, but there's not a whole lot they can do to Long Arm's ability to be spammed without directly affecting Lawbringer's ability to act directly after (which is already very limited to a light attack and nothing else).

Is it broken and stupid? Yes. Is it worthless in any 1v1 fight? Yes. But is it funny as hell? You bet your twisted panties it was.

Here's hoping Ubi finds a way to fix it without making the Lawbringer even more of a handicapped hero than he already is. I'm just glad people suck at fighting against him.

People do know this is dashable right? The Ai just did it to me 5 times in a row.

It isn't an issue until it's a 2v1 fight and you're getting attacked by both the lawbringer and one of his teammates. Since you have zero control of your character they are free to just smack you over and over until you die, regardless of your revenge mode, you still can't act most of the time. And even if you do, you'll be out of stamina without being in revenge mode since Long Arm takes around half your stamina bar in one hit, so imagine being stuck in an infinite loop. With no stamina to roll and getting killed by a teammate before you can act.

It was fun as hell, but troll. Very effective however, basically makes characters who turtle completely worthless in a 2v1 since you can just negate their defenses. Suck it, warlords of the world.

You can say that about any move like nobushi's kick, warden's shoulder bash, conquerors shield bash etc etc. Hell shugoki's demon embrace is also deadly for this.

Typical 12 years old answer, go back to school child. Chelsea players would be ashamed of you.



OP: Yeah that spam can be quite problematic, hopefully not a lot of people spam it. Sadly I don't have any tips about that situation (I usually trash completly the Lawbringer in front of me.)

When he is tossing u over and over again do a doge multiple time as soon as u stand up on ground after being tossed and try to get out of his range

I'm pretty sure I've seen enemies dodge out of Long Arm spam, but don't quote me on that. Can't say for certain that it didn't happen due to delayed input for the Long Arm spam.
