High level Peacekeepers, how do stand up to you? | Forums

[Rocterbox]

I'm still having a lot of trouble with peacekeepers that just light attack until I die and those seem to be the bad ones. I don't usually even touch good peacekeepers.

I'm looking for some kind of weakness I can take advantage of or some tips on how to keep my arm just a little longer.


All advice and insults are welcome and appreciated.

Peacekeepers are very soft. All you have to do is manhandle them, parry/block, or force hit trades with them.

You don't have to kill every time, victory can be had in forcing them to flee.

If they start light attack spamming and changing guard direction with each attack, that's the mark of a peacekeeper who's truly desperate to deal some hits and has exhausted every other option.

I'm a high level max gear peacekeeper and the comment above is exactly what to do, parry and block and manhandle us to the point where we cant hit you, because once we get one hit off normally there's another 4-5 where that came from, just wait to parry and kick us in with a few heavies, us PK's don't like getting hit.

mhm.. block and parry... easy to say.

Yeah, just block and parry... Easy...

If you can't parry... At least block. If you can't block, then the problem lies with you.

pk light spam is broken and needs nerfed. 12 frame attacks dealing more damage than 18 frame lights from other classes is bad balance and not skill. pretty much impossible to deal with on these garbo pier 2 pier servers where frames are missing constantly

how ubi released the game like this is unnerving

"Loosing" vs lightspam sounds noobish, but peacekeepers light mixups are realy tough to handle, everyone is complaining about Wardens high light & Zoneattack pokes, but pks version is safe on block and faster as well. It is in fact the fastest and safest in the game. Imo every high lvl peacekeeper relies heavy on the lights and her tools.
Despite that some people might tell you to just parry these lights i am telling you to block these at first is the only option to survive vs a stronger pk. You just have to do this to get a read how good your opponent is. The reason is simple, pks got 3 options to handle parries: feint->light, feint->zone, and fake indicator zone into cancel. If you would try to parry one of these, you probably wont be able to handle the follow up, just because it is to fast.
If you get the read that you are facing an average pk, you can start to abuse the weakness and greed. Try to provoke a whiff and punish this. Keep some distance and hold your guard on the right side...the average potatoekeeper will go for the jumping high heavy, an easy parry.

I'm so sick of hearing this ignorant statement. Light attacks are all we have left right now. Ubi nerfed everything else. And all you have to do is block the light attack and you get a free grab or hit. PK's are so underpowered right now. I am Rep 4, been playing PK since Alpha. PK is severely handicapped right now against any class or player that can block or parry. We have literally no stamina, we get exhausted so easily. Our guard break counter is hard to pull off. If we get blocked we're open for a grab or heavy or whatever you want to throw at us. When we miss a dodge/stab we are vulnerable for a very long time to anything before we can even move again. Our heavy attacks are among the easiest in the game to parry since they are so slow. Our bleeds have been nerfed to uselessness now, and our grab stab is bugged and doesn't even work right. And our blocks are almost not even worth using, because there is a delay in us getting our block up. We can't change block position quickly either because of the stupid delay/reaction time. I can't even hold a block up for more than 2 seconds.

Peacekeepers are not even competitive against other classes unless the player doesn't know how to block or parry and just rage attacks, then we can still win. But a smart player who blocks is going to beat a PK everytime. Don't even get me started on the bridges and ledges. It is so easy to grab throw a PK.

PK has been nerfed to where they are now broken and unable to compete against skilled players playing other classes.
