    Valkyries Annoying Spear Sweep

    So I'm just getting spammed to high hell by Spear Sweeps and I have a question...
    If I'm hit by a light attack just before her Sweep comes out, is it still possible to dodge the sweep?

    Sometimes she catches me in an endless loop of this and it feels like I can't dodge the sweep if I fail to avoid her light attacks.

    Yes, you can get away. It can be difficult, though.

    I regularly dodge out of reach of her sweep as a Lawbringer, you can dodge it even if she hits both her lights.

    I think every class can dodge before the sweep comes especially assassins. You cant escape the sweep combo in a corner or when you hit the wall.

    Its a 3 step combo

    Light atk
    Light atk or shield bash
    Leg sweep

    So you basical just need to dodge backwards, right after the second step.

    As a Valkyrie I found that skilled player can easily dodge Spear Sweep to side, resulting with free GB towards me. Days ago I played against conqueror and he was out of range only by holding S key (backward). So he getiing hits and moving back and when I trigger Spear Sweep, he was too far. ... ****ty gamemechanism
