    Guard problem when being ganked

    I’m not sure if others experienced this. I play on PS4 and for example when I’m being ganked I lock on one guy on the left and keep my guard on the right side where other guy is. But when the guy on the right attacks ( one I’m not locked on) it goes through my guard. This isn’t even once or twice. I think I’m safe for that attack and it goes right through. I’m not playing assassin class and other guy is just doing normal attack

    Yeah, that is strange. I'd suggest getting some video footage of it and sending it in to the mods through the feedback channels.

    Video helps immensely with identifying the problem correctly so we can have meaningful fixes.

    Was the other guy a Kensei by any chance? The Kensei has a feat that gives their light attacks the unblockable trait.

    No it was Nobushi. She didn’t kick me or anything. I play Nobushi as main so I’m sure.

    If you end up with some video footage, definitely post it here. I'll send a mention over to the team either way, but examples of the issue will help a bunch. Thanks!

    Does this have anything to do with my problem?
    Fighting Shinobi, 50% of his attacks don't have red direction indicators. Especially when he throws his hook for a GB or heavy, so I don't know where to block.

    I don’t know about that. But I know I can never parry shinobi range attacks recently. Can’t even block most of the time. It goes through my block. That’s why I have to dodge every time.
