Remove Shield Stances From The Game. | Forums

It's a nonpunishable move that allows you to block in all directions, and lead up with a headbutt or vortex. You can counter gb when in the stance, and it costs little to no stamina. It is basically a powerful move with no consequence, thus making it OP.

Shields already stop combos, which is alone strong enough lol

It is not OP at all. Every character in the game can punish it with a signature move: warlord with headbut, lawbinger with long arm, warden with shoulder bash, shugoki with the demon grab etc. Not only this but you can also punish it with faint>GB.

Warlords are the only example there that's true. LB you can drop the stance backstep and punish with a heavy. Warden's bash is slower than headbutt so just use it when you hear "misaru". Shugoki you still have time drop guard and sidestep kill the shugoki dumb enough to throw out a naked embrace. Warlord is the strongest in the game no contest. Just go to warlord moveset and read everything he has including passives it's insane. I think warlord was supposed to be the unplayable boss character at the end of the story, but Ubisoft was running low on dev time and just threw him into the roster with no nerfs lol.
