The noobs qqing about aramusha light spam | Forums

1. I understand it's not too easy to block the spam as I play assassin myself, but it's HIGHLY doable as ara is very easy to predict and his soft feints from heavy to light are very slow.

2. The main issue it's hard to block which Mostly only seems to a problem on consoles goes to show it's not the character himself causing the problem, we have others like the Valk and the PK with pretty fast lights that are hard to block on console. It's the shtty way the game is ran on console and time snap being disabled, so balancing a character based off shtty connection issues is definitely not the way to go.

3. When if he's spamming go for a deflect, as soon as that top or side hits u just dodge in the next direction, deflect is more reliable then parrying in that kind of situation.

This!!! Even if you are freaking out and dodge spamming when getting hit you have a 50/50 chance of defecting a hit. Calm down and watch the indicator. It is seriously not hard. I've deflected on accident just as much a I've deflected on purpose.

The Aramusha can interrupt a deflect from the Orochi with a light spam, even the Hyper Armor one. Not sure if this applies to other assassins or not though. I deflect regularly.

Downfall of deflect being underwhelming

Agreed! Deflect should instantly stagger the opponent just like parry does.

I was just saying I do not think it is supposed to be able to. As far as I can tell, the other heroes can’t interrupt just the new ones.

because of the speed of the combo. Others used to do it until they balanced the deflects which they will have to do again.
