S5/Nobushi Feedback (Also bugged? outfit report) | Forums

[BTTrinity]

First off, let me start by saying that S5 is by far the best state that For Honor has been in and I do very much appreciate everything that you've brought to us. Reworks are pretty good, at the very least a step in the right direction I'm enjoying Kensei a lot today.

However, Im a bit upset about Nobushi and am not enjoying her after 8+ hours of playing her since her rebalance, she does not feel good. Her nerfs definitely overshadow her buffs.

-Her zone nerf was needed, but considering its 600ms does it need to deal the same amount of low damage that 400-500ms zones deal? I feel like the slower the attack, the harder they should hit, right? Its range hardly matters anymore since everything Nobushi throws is now punishable due to the parry range nerf. I think it could go up to 25 damage to make it more rewarding considering how its become standard to parry 500-600ms attacks.

-Her light damage nerf out of HS is 100% unnecessary considering her lights are some of the most easily-read and telegraphed lights in the game, the speed buff from one direction is not enough to make up for it.... So to justify the nerfing of the already worst lights in the game, make it so she gets 500ms lights out of Hidden Stance from ALL directions.

-Additionally, remove Hidden Stances stamina regeneration delay. (She might not have such a bad stamina problem outside of 4v4's if she could actually regenerate stamina.)

- Make her dodge attacks actual dodge attacks (Make it so you can use them a bit later into the dodge)

Lastly, her new event outfit Death Gasp seems to be pretty bugged out. The arm holes are sticking off the side of the coat a few inches and going through her arms to quite a noticeable degree. Ill link a few pictures to show what Im talking about.

Bump

(Idk if bumping is against this forums rules, but I wanna make sure at least the outfit being bugged gets acknowledged.)

well all she got was a kick buff / if the kick land she can do damage if not she's pretty crap still , they really need to give her options like kensei

Pretty much. Her HS feints arent really worth the risk anymore considering it takes over half your stamina and prevent stamina regen for 2-3 seconds to only deal 34 dmg, thats if the person tries to parry your light.... anyone with half a brain knows to only parry the lights that come out of HS.

I dont think her kit needs more options like Kensei, her kit has the potential to be strong but they're being to cautious with her... now shes nerfed into obscurity with the parry range nerf, light damage nerf, zone nerf..... If they're gonna keep these damage values, she needs to be buffed in other areas.

I think the 4 buffs listed in the original post are those areas that shes lacking in.

they really dislike the samurai or something

i'll be brief .

Knight Warden/Conqueror/Lawbringer/pk/glad/Cent all good when it comes to mixup - cent as he becoming very predictable and yes lawbringer has tons of mixup and he is a good
Vikings Valk/Shaman/Raider/Beserker/Lord all good - valkries
Samurai Nobushi/kens/shugoki/orochi/Shinobi all bad - Kensei and shinobi . see the trend

Rework Needed Shugoki/orochi/Nobushi/Cent/Pk

And we will have a great game.

good work on s5 the best that came in a long time.

Normally, I would shrug at the whole "Ubi hates the Samurai" but ever since Shaman got released and the devs refusing to give her any sort of drawback... (she has literally the best everything in the game that isnt range, whatever one character does Shaman does better) all of Romans favorites take 2 seasons for a proper nerf but when people find out that a Samurai or Viking is good they get nerfed into obscurity nearly immediately then proceed to be ignored for longer than necessary.

I think Nobushi can get by with some balance changes, her kit does have potential.

Orochi, Warden, and Valk need reworks the most.

Followed by Shugoki, PK, and Raider.

Yes, indeed thank you Ubi for such a great update.
