Aramusha disappointment | Forums

Hi Ubisoft

I am very disappointed with Aramusha my country samurai. I feel that he is as underpower as kensei. Not easy to use. Require feint. No unblockable opener. No mix up. His attack easy to parry and block. Gb no guaranteed heavy. No side dodge attack. Ubisoft please buff him.

Also any advice on how to use him well?

He is based on feint and light combos. To maximaze his full potential you have to dominate this tecnique. Feint are very powerfull, you could take a look on a lvl 3 aramusha bot fight style and train your self to do the same. I'm sure you will be very happy with him.

indeed the disappointment is real. there was no effert put into him. he does not even have a proper kit.
it once again makes clear that the guy responsible for the online balancing only favours the knights and vikings.

all he got is an attack chain and a full block. both wich have no benefit in using.

invinite chain has less damage than berserkers lacks the hyperarmor and is always top - side -top -side. he should be able to soft faent his regular heavys but he cant because that has been reserved for shaman.

fullblock only rewards 10 hp for the risk of a gb. less usefull than hiddenstance or the regular fullblocks.

rushing wind pales in comparison to celtic curse mix up. celtic cuse has hyperarmor ALL directions and dodge frames on side cancel.
rushing wind is predetermined by guard stance....

they said "tank hybrid" ... 120 hp is assasin at best... but he does not qualyfy as an asssain as well because he lacks dodges and dodge attacks.

its as if they had focused all the strengths towards shaman and all the weaknesses towards aramusha.

If a class does not oneshot with a combo is a disappointment for many.

Light combos its always the same, you just have to cover up and you cut the chain.. full block its so slow and ur combos are useless, since you can only hit them a light attack, only ONE.he is the only hero that after guardbreak cant heavy attack, heavy attack its SO SLOW that all classes can block it.

It is obvious that this character never tried it, they just left it..

Not sure if this is a troll post or what, but in the right hands, the Aramusha is a monster. He has a pretty high skill ceiling, so if you think he's garbage, that likely means that you haven't quite figured out how to use him. When I'm not ripped apart by squads of Shaman, I do fairly well with him against all classes...except maybe a skilled conqu, but that's not surprising.

could say the same about kensei or highlander... doesnt change the fact that his kit and stats are severly lacking

As I said, he is based on feint. Just don't go atk over and over, it won't work of course.

I can see why people would compare him to kensei but I feel he's much better than kensei. He's meant to counter attack and apply pressure. Kensei has neither of these and is forced to entirely mind game. He needs something more. Aramusha on the other hand doesn't really. He could be better with some minor changes. But overall I think once the parry+etc changes drop he'll be a lot stronger.

For tips the only one I feel comfortable with giving at this time is mixing heavies into his combo. And using normal feints occasionally.
Blade blockade needs to be approached with a different mindset. how you use it entirely depends on the situation.

Do you want just straight damage? top heavy if the person's guard is not there.
Do you want to go for extra damage and there is a surface near by? Or do you want to create distance to cut pressure off of you? press guard break after countering.
Do you want consistent damage with the potential to do more but there is no surface? Press light attack after countering.
Do you want to risk going for more damage? do left or right heavy after countering it and feint it.

Parrying and standard feint into GB have their uses for Aramusha. But they are not his main means for countering. So you should forget trying to force that and instead use blade blocade more.
