How do you counter him as an assassin if he hits you with a light

The timing to block it is very specific, theres no guaranteed counter, also depends on what kind of ara you're talking about. If he is light spamming, then you just gotta time your block out of it because if you mistime it, youll get hit, your guard will drop and you have to attempt blocking again...

Though if the Ara is... Feinting, side L - top L - top H finisher (Feinted) - into a side light, youd want to double dodge into a kick as soon as you see that top heavy... though if you play another assassin, I cant give much tips aside from try rolling out when you see that top heavy finisher and see if you can play around deflecting the start of his chains. (it will take practice, but ive seen it done, consistently)

You dont counter it if you play on console, yes many People Will say block top or deflect top but its not working IMO. Best chance to get Out Of the spam is unfortunatly praying that arasmusha going to feint instead Of spamming. Have no problem dealing with aramusha when play non assassins but play assassins Class staggered to death by lightspam.

Have you tried to light them when they do deadly feint this works for me i seem to do better playing aggressive against them then defensive if there spamming light try to get them into the leap attack and go for a deflect/parry try to cover there aoe guard then you know there gun and try to light in the other two guard stances

You quit the game until you find 1 with no aramusha.. he was a king spammer ,and with the new buffs now and with some faints any idiot can kill anyone with this class.. my 2c..devs will see what mistake they did.. i bet they will re work him within a month till they gather more data.. I had domnion matches with prestije 0 Aramusha and zero gear wanking on 3 players.. and good decent players..

tbh i am pretty sure they made aramusha and shaman op on purpose to sell more steel and then nerf them later like they Did with shinobi and centurion.

I've never been good against the aramusha but now I might as well put the controller down. Even when I'm playing a non assassin I can't stop his spam for ****. Makes the pk look like the Highlander

Agreed. I move the stick to block every attack and im lucky if the game processes half the blocks. When the feint spam begins forget about it. Just stand there and die.

Don't block, dodge. If he starts with a side, dodge forward, if it's a top hit, dodge to the side. Blocking is more difficult and isn't as reliable against musha. Dodging is not only easier, but leads to an almost guaranteed deflect since he can't feint light spam.
If he is feinting, just hit him with a fast light or zone.

I used to have trouble against blocking his attacks as pk. But now i have no problem one thing to never do ( at least on console) is to parry his attacks in his light combo. Usually when he starts I just block and keep my eye open for a potential deflect. The best way to learn to beat Aramusha is to practice against him (level 3 bot) and learn all the best ways to be able to escape the combo with as less damage taken as possible. (Dodging may be your best escape as Alustar stated)
