Samurai = Weakest Hero faction | Forums

[PokePokeBleed]

Title. Outside fattys team fight cheese, I'd say overall they represent the weakest heros in game that need the most attention.

Orochi = Noob killer thats easily dealt with at higher tiers, every one is looking to parry the top lights, or even zones, and ready for gb heavy attempts. Doesn't have much outside of those.

Nobushi- Plagued by a multitude of issues and only really good at picking on people who can't block/parry or sidedodge to punish her.

Kensai- Nuff said.

Fatty= Havent played him much but overall I'd say he is the best of the faction just of his team fight cheese. Nothing says FU more then his backbreaker and getting clobbered but multiple heavies in it, or his wind up unblockables in the middle of chaos

Thoughts?

Hm, I dunno, no one looks good up against the knights. They have Conq, Warden, and PK who are all pretty strong. Warlord is obviously great, but I'm not sure yet whether the buffed Valk is strong or if I'm just not used to fighting one. The Raider might be so bad that he brings the whole average of the vikings down though.

Nah, vikings are the worst. Raider is the worst vg and zerker is the worst assassin.

It's more like everyone looks bad against the knights.
Kensei is the only samurai who's "bad." and that's really only because of how much he relies on the feint game. his damage output, flexibility, and speed on some attacks shouldn't be scoffed at.
orochi while is predictable on paper is still more than viable in top tier. you just have to be really patient.
Nobushi is actually amazing. her one downside is her guard switch time. I really don't think many have tapped into her potential. especially since I barely see anyone use hidden stance.
And shugoki is borderline broken in either 1v1 or team fights. The only reason why he's struggling at all is because some match ups are REALLY awful for him. and his guard switch time.

IMO vikings have it the worst. raider is a joke despite what players like truetalent can do with him.
even after being fixed the zerker is still too hard to use against defensive people.
Valk is much better. has a lot of potential. but is still far from being really good. and that's mainly due to how unsafe she is.
warlord is the only notable hero. and he's the best hero in the game.
