Warden's Zone attack | Forums

[Mangaroo]

Come on. It's a cheat button. I get that if you block it you get a free guard break, but the speed at which it comes out is insane. You can't do anything but keep your guard left. Any attack attempt and the zone comes out. Don't attack? Vortex into guard break.

Please ubi. Slow it down a tiny bit?

I can barely change my guard to block it. And this is as a Kensei.

Has no one else faced decent wardens?

you can't even attack because of this

My biggest gripe with the game.

decent wardens aren't going to waste their stam spamming a zone attack at you.

[Mangaroo]

Who said anything about spamming? It comes out when you initiate a move or if you don't have your guard on left.

Great options left for the person he's against.

Wardens needs a nerf more than any other change in the game. Just watch any high level player on twitch and they'll have the same complaints. Yet Ubisoft haven't mention it in the upcoming gameplay changes.

I'd rather see characters like the Kensei brought up to par, personally. If you nerf everyone down to Kensei level then nobody will ever be able to go aggressive with the current state of parries.

I get what you are saying...but I doubt they will do that, that would require buffing so many characters. And then you'll just have everyone doing easy moves making the game less about the mind games I think.

Heavy, feint it, immediately block left. If he takes the bait, you get a free guard-break. If not, you'll have him thinking about it and worried over risking it again.

thing is over all he is the most unrealisticly fast character in the game. for a "realistic" melee battle game. No knight cam move that fast on those armors. his speed should at least meet up (but actually should be slower than) the kensei.. not matched up with oroshi's speed.
Anyway, this makes him a high tier character alongside all the assassins. also he is the only character to have a "unrealistic" move! his shoulder bash.. he just... SLIDES really fast and hit you! all other characters that have a shoulder/shield bash do so by running and jumping.. and are slow as ****! easely dodgeble. just look at Valkyria, conqueror... you can only land those moves as counter and never to link/extend combos wich was their porpouse (since they don't do dmg).

Do not argue for realism.

Lawbringer has the single most powerful armour in the game - Less health than a fat man wearing wood plates.
Orochi Katana deals damage through solid plate and mail.
Warden longsword - Never used for thrusting.

Thanks for the tip. Haven't made much of use of the hard feints yet.

I'll probably get vortexed though :P
