Lawbringer heavy heavy combo maybe | Forums

[KSI_TheMadKing]

I have played other characters that have this mix up, and I can absolutely vouch for its effectiveness. It is one of the easiest ways of breaking down an opponent after getting guaranteed damage off GB. How effect it is for LB depends on how fast the follow up heavy is and how readable it is. But regardless, all heavies except maybe centurions are extremely easy to react to. So as for the beginning opener, it won't help.

I'm not asking for an opener, I'm asking for more if a kit for him to use him in a fight. Most of his combos are not that effective and he relies mainly on his shove. I'm find myself using heavy faint into light. The only time I use an actual combo is Swift Justice finisher. That doesn't always connect 100% of the time. I also use judge jury executioner. Mainly for a ground punish (some people do others I know that) It's just not a lot.

I'm a rep 40 LB, and as it happens the worlds first rep 40 period. I have played some of the most high level games and believe me, in this case PK is a bad match up against LB. An easy tactic for PK is simply back dash on reading a light and then wait for the follow up heavy to be either executed/feinted and then dodge attack. Even if it's feinted into GB, PK will gain immunity granting a free hit. The only option after the first light for LB is to do nothing and then block for shove for a light/GB that can both be avoided using dodge attack. A light light combo will allow for LB to trick a PK to land inside the attack forcing PK to then actually use her kit and then a mind game of good reads and guess work can presume. But really, all heroes with a dodge attack can be used in this way against LB.

Ok so like first off how do you judge you the first rep 40 ever. Like I could buy a lot of things but not that. If that is the case and I'm wrong get job or something. I have played the top player on Xbox and believe me PK while hard to fight against at high lvl I do not think it's a bad match up. Conc is the worst to fight against. But that can very per person.You can always throw out a heavy any have the Dodge attack and get that easy Perry off.

I don't play LB but one thing I have noticed is that LBs don't have much variety in what they could do. Kinda boring to watch and fight. Something new for him would be great. LB has my favorite aesthetic in the game, I would like to see a little more flair in his fighting style as someone who fights them. With him being so big its real weird watching him win with lights and shoves. I want to fight something scary, like the old Cent or a real good Shugoki.

I know you weren't asking for an opener. But he can rely of his feint game pretty effectively, he's at his worst when he actually commits to his heavies. Which is why adding more heavies will go unnoticed to most LBs that use him.

Also, I'm self employed, I choose my own hours of work. But thanks for caring about my finical situation so dearingly. Personally I don't believe the argument of authority is a valid one, I've never accepted it and don't believe that it could even apply to a game like for honor where a game of this kind has only existed for less than a year. However I can say that you're absolutely wrong about me in every way.

However, back to the topic at hand. Throwing out heavy against a PK is asking for trouble, even if you're trying to deliberately make her land inside the attack as you described. I have had many assassins (Not just PKs) who have evaded the attack on landing using deflect for free GB. And that's not an uncommon counter solution. Pretty much any assassin worth their salt can do that consistently.

I would hope to see somewhen a Lawbringer attack/ability where he uses his halberd more as a pike then an axe ... like a defensive stance where he can swiftly thrust and use it as a hook to mix up his enemies

AND/OR

An unblockable swing to his oponents legs, which causes him to fall down and deals nice damage.

Both are authentic ways to use a halberd/poleaxe, which where applied in medieval ages!


But just a simple heavy --> heavy attack wouldn't help at all, because LB heavies get parried MOST TIMES ... or you add a mechanic where some heroes can just parry heroes of their own "weight class", which would reduce that parry risk a lot for LB
