I dont know how thi wasnt adressed sooner but kensei is serious need of control, he is able to side step and heavy attack at the speed of a light, do massive damage, and its completly undodgeable, that is where i draw the line, he needs either a stamina cost increase for this move or make it dodgeable. At least that way anyone against it has a fair chance with reaction time or decrease his range, so that if you jump baxkwards your clear of the attack like all other characters
There are a number of players that might disagree with you. Some believe that the Kensei is one of the more underpowered classes in the game and that he is in dire need of a buff. As someone that has also struggled against Kensei, I can sympathize with your difficulties against him. He has some rather odd timings in order to dodge his attacks. Dodging a bit later than you usually would for a talk often allows you to escape his attack without taking damage. With practice, you should be able to reliably start dodging many of his moves.
Agree with Ubi here. I have rep 8 kensei myself and against skilled players there is almost no way to open him up. But he (kensei) can be quite decieving in good hands.
Most of my dodge attacks (which are light not heavy) are parried at instant. Feints are his most reliable tool. Looking forward to rework and hope that we will be positively suprised 🍀
And please Ubi next line of reworks must be orochi..please ⏩
