Since the release of the new characters, Conqueror is in a very bad state. After his previous nerfs, he was already one of the weakest characters in the game by comparison to others. Now Centurion is an unbearable match up for him because he can just bully Conq as he pleases. Shinobi is just as bad because he is too fast for Conq to catch let alone land a hit on. The Centurion seems to have replaced the Conq for his intended purpose. He does everything the the Conq does, bully opponents, control enemies stamina, only he does it better. Conq needs a buff if he is to survive in this game. He needs more HP so he can actually be tanky and lowered stamina costs so he's not exhausted after 3-4 moves.

Suggested buffs to the Conqueror:
1. Let him be able to charge up his shield bash. This ability is the most obvious. Simply holding down the bash button would allow him to charge it up and, at full charge, could knock his opponent to the ground. Tapping it would do a standard bash. (Similarly to Valks charged shield bash)
2. Give him the ability to deflect. I know this one seems odd, but it would actually make a lot of sense. Since you have to dash in order to perform a deflect, this would mean the Conq could not get a free GB after it, but instead would be a mix up into a shield bash and guaranteed light. This would make him force his enemies to be aware of their surrounding and give Conq a greater advantage to enviro/grav kills and even wall stuns.
3. Give him super armor and damage resistance on his shield bash. This is just to give Conq a better way to deal with faster characters. This means that when Conq shield bashes, he can't get interrupted by faster attacks. (Like from PK, Orochi, Kensei, etc.) He could still of course be knocked out of it by Shoves or unblockables and still be guard broken if he is dodged. He could still be hit during the bash, but standard attacks wouldn't interrupt the bash and the damage he'd receive would be reduced. (It would make sense considering he has his shield raised)
4. Give him a stunning tap after a GB. After Conq gets a GB, he would tap light attack to deliver a tap to the head of his opponent with his shield that would deal as much damage as a light attack and stun his target. It would also knock people down if they are exhausted.

These are just a few things that I believe would benefit the Conq to his play style. The Conq is supposed to be a bully who should not be fought in close spaces. He's a turtle who needs to able to be a wall for his team, so increased defensive qualities are desperately needed. I hope the balancing team at Ubi can see this and put it into consideration.
