    Fixnig Nuboshi at high level of play

    hey Ubisoft,

    1) Can you please fix the slowguard stance of Nuboshi and the other 2 handers , thus we can keep up with assassins light spam , thank you
    2) Make all upper light attack same speed as the sides light attack
    3) Make light attack coming out of hidden stance 100-100ms faster , thus it can be blocked and not parried
    4) kick is not being used , cause it's very easy to dodge it and her recovery time is very slow after the kick , she will be punished hard

    i really feel bad that most of her light attack is being parried , and she has no way to open up a defender , i even feint light into hidden stance and into another light and that also get parried

    hope you will consider some of my ideas

    thanks for reading , let the flame begin with Nuboshi is op

    That's a nice list off buffs. I agree with all those changes except for #3. I don't think speeding up the lights out of hidden stance is the way to go, but I'm fine with speeding up the top light to match the side lights. I'd also like to see:

    1) Hidden Stance stamina penalty reduced. HS is a what makes her unique, it's a shame it's so costly to use when Nobushi has so little stamina.

    2) Kick is carried through dodges. I think it was during the Open Beta that this was stealth patched. Basically, it was a bug that allowed you to use sidewinder then dodge and then kick. I think it would be nice if this was brought back to give little Nobu some better zoning potential since her range is her greatest strength

    I think with all those changes, Nobushi would be perfect.

    Right now devs believe (and i totally agree) that the nobu is one onf the most balanced (if not the most) chararcter of the game. The tyniest change on her must be very carefully studied and planed otherwise you will break her.

    As a rep 8 Nobu player, o dont agree with your buffs.

    u know even from skill 17 rating which medium to high not super high like 21-24 , Nuboshi cannot land one light without getting parried

    but i'am on pc so console is different , no offence on the low level comment , but they should only balance the game at high skill rating , if they focus on low tier , all characters are unbalanced

    Reputation is not the thing that specify your skill level. Not directly. OP is clearly stating that when top players are fighting there issues with Nobushi that could be addressed.
    I play mostly as Nobushi but I don't consider myself as a top tier. Medium at best. But I find that parring light attacks happens often and kicks are often dodged when someone know what Nobushi can do. I don't know if this deserve buff in any way but I think at least devs should monitor situation.

    I really like the idea of kick being possible after combo: sidewinder, dodge, kick. But I think this could to much.

    Edit:

    That depends on their focus. Lower-medium level is where the majority is and if it also generate income then...

    Nobushi really need buff to her light attacks because in duel exp player can easy parry all her Light/heavy attacks.They need buff her light top attack to same speed as LB top light

    i dont know if you say that because of my coment, anyway i totatally agree with you. But only to let things clear here: Acorcing to TRN FH tracker network, im on the #447 - Top 0.1% and on the top 2% with the nobu witch os not even my main character.

    The problem with her is that ppl just try to spam so in the end it becomes so easy to parry her, but thats not because of the hero, thats because of ppl who dosnt know how toreally play with her. I can sure you that a good nobu player is almost untouchable not even with a pk.

    Top 22? For sure?
    Are you this guy?
    k/d: 098
    Win ratio:50%
    Score: 20 519
    top:0.05

    If so i find it funny you even try to talk about high lv play.

    But coming back to the subject: As i see you only play with the nobu i dont understan how cant you not know tha t she has some few cute mechanics to let you land unespected kicks (i am not talking about hidden stance btw). Ofcourse you can not spam them, but they still a very usefull tool at high lv. But i play on ps4 with its 30 frames. Maybe on pc is diferent so who knows.

    check again and this is only for pc

    look very carefully at the leaderboard and my winrate is bad because i have 6 heroes who i have bad ratio with them , focus on Nubo

    and we are speaking about pc balancing , if u have the game on pc feel free to add me and we can play few rounds , i will show u the difference between playing on pc and ps4 30fpsvs165fps

    believe me u will even reconsider that u said she is good at high level =))
