Is this game by design? | Forums

Even with full revenge attack, damage, way of the shark and the damage power up, Nobushi can't do 100 damage in one hit.

Well the full revenge attack + almost full attack stat gave me like +50% total damage increase on the strong revenge attack (from 1.5 bars to about 2.2), but even so, this "4-bar nobushi hit" would've been a 2.7-bar one. One way or another, it's still a lot. I don't see a point in complaining about it when you're undergeared. Gear stats are supposed to mean something, or else why are they there at all?

I went after him multiple times because I thought hey the first time must've been a fluke he couldn't be pulling that damage.
Went after him and also friends with after him multiple times yeah no fluke.
Considering the Devs had the great idea to make the guard break almost impossible to counter... yeah I don't see good game design decisions.

[Starcanum]

It's definitely not impossible AND they're fixing the inconsistency in its behaviour when two guardbreaks are used at the same time.

So I was fighting a Nobushi who was reputation 5 that with one heavy attack take down four bars of health.
No one in the match could beat her because we don't have the time to play all day to get to reputation 5.
One, wtf is this matchmaking and two if you're gonna include higher level reps you might want to tone down the power difference.
Who tested this game?

I've fought characters on rep 3 with 73 armor and I still beat them. The game is based on skill and I actually like that. I just wish they would make the shield warriors lose chunks of stamina so they dont spam the **** out of the shield or, the law bringers spamming their stupid spear rush.
