Not necessarily, it just helps that they don't have a strong defense. If they had a static guard like the other characters they really wouldn't have a weakness

You clearly don't know how to play this game. Assasins reflex guard simply doesnt matter anymore. On top tier they simply block all your hits with a HIGH chance of parry because of their fast and superior parry timeframe.

Lol what??? How does anything I just said mean I don't know how to play? Reflex guard does make a difference in 4v4. In duels not so much but them having reflex guard doesn't give them an edge.

Attack is way more important than defence right now especially in 4v4's.

Been saying this forever. Mentioned it many times. Not news to me. Complete garbage as is a number of other things in the game but they won’t change.

You already have to remember that poor management of stamina isn't always the case. Many characters in the game do stamina damage. Also, like I said, it's a trade off. Mobility for defense. I'm cool with removing that for static guard. That's totally fair. But what a lot of people fail to realize is you can sprint after dodging assassin's and they still have to guess if your gonna grab or attack the exact same way. So for now, until it's changed, I suggest people struggling with backdodge try sprinting the assassin's down. It works a lot of the time and I get a max punish

What YOU fail to realize is an assassins back dash distance combined with their recovery means literally nothing can punish them for back dash spamming. Any sprint attack will be blocked. and dodge attack will be avoided. and GB is too slow from sprint to GB them. If you're playing against a bad assassin or they happen to mess up their timing yes. sprint GB works. But it's no where near as reliable as you think it is.
