On a scale of 1 to PeaceKeeper how good is Kensei right now? | Forums

[CoyoteXStarrk]

Because its his turn for me to level him to Prestige one and I am consistently wrecking people with the same 2 combos.



Am I getting lucky?


Is Kensei just that good?


Or are people just that bad at dealing with him?

It depends.. his great in dominion but falls short compared to most other classses in duels. That's because he doesn't have much openers and most of his attacks are slow and predictable and is risky to open up with an attack. You will get parried. So u would usually use him as a feinter or counter attacker. But your usually screwed if you go up against a good player using a defensive class like conqueror on 1v1.

He's solid in middle tier.

Almost rep 10 Kensei and it's hit or miss. Kensei's are either garbage or really good. There seems to be no in between. And fighting a kensei you're either really good or get wrecked. Again not much in between. If the person you are fighting is really offensive Kensei can be deadly. If they are defensive more than likely it turns into a hit once back away and never combo cause you'll just get parried all the time.

2v2 or 4v4, then side dash heavy over and over and over to hit everything in a nine mile arc. If they're giving you trouble, build revenge first so you can't be interrupted while doing it. It's what every other Kensei does XD

I prefer not to be cheap and exploit known issues so I don't build revenge

Against opponents who are good at parry he comes short. Otherwise he is pretty decent. Dodge+forward+LA, LA , Top HA > whatever you want is pretty decent.

Also keep your distance bait an unblockable (shield bash/shoulder/headbutt) and side dodge+LA is pretty decent since it follows into top combo same way.

i have a rep 3 kensei and i think he is great even at high level plays, super fast dodging, very fast blocking and great range

Kensei is one class I don't enjoy fighting as my Zerker.

For once we agree.

The fact his spin to win beats the zerkers is a source of infinite rage for me.
