Samurai, how do you deal with Peacekeepers? | Forums

[Rocterbox]

I'm wondering how such a noble and ancient order of elite warriors prefer to dispose of pesky Peacekeepers.

Do you have a specific game plan for when you see you are against one in a duel? Have you found a major weakness? How can I hurt them? How can I Kill them?

All advice and insults are welcome and appreciated.

Kensei side dash seems to get most PKs.

I main Shugoki , i time a r2 to then they side step, the swings wide enough to hit them, u can also trade with them easy due to Shugoki's passive

This. I find it a bit ironic that we can use the main tactic of all the Assassin classes to beat them out.

I've also found that a Kensei's light attacks beat out a PK's light attacks. When you both go for the light attack you will win out. If you happen upon a PK who doesn't know how to dodge winning can be as easy as just spamming light attacks on them.

It is quite weird. I think that Kensei;s side step attacks move them further away than the peacekeeper. And since Kensei has longer range, PK usually miss the swing and get hit instead.

Depends on PK play style.LT spamming type can be beaten by side step attacks but if you are against someone who knows what he is doing and mixes things up my best advice is being on offense since their attacks are too fast to effectively counter .

As i'm an Orochi main i can give you some Orochi specific advices as well . For one Riptide strike counters PK pretty hard since their atttack range is too short .You can also use a storm rush cancel to bait them into either a parry or side step attack which you can respond to with a parry of your own or top LT ...

But even with all these strategies i must admit they are a pain to deal with ...

Feints and parry destroy peacekeepers especially with kensei, 8/10 times I beat peacekeeper (I'm prestige 4 with kensei)
