Kensei dodge attacks > all | Forums

Anyone else notice this? It's like the safest move currently. Doesn't matter the AoE or range a hero's attack, it seems to pass right through the almighty Kensei and is immune to any kind of interruption.

Perhaps it's just me, but I've used every hero from LB to Zerk w/ hyper armor and nothing is able to counter or disrupt this. Thoughts anyone else?

They're just like any other dodge attack, bait and parry.

Well, as someone who decided to pick up Kensei, I'll say this much:
-If you throw out a light attack, Kensei's dodge attack trumps over your light attack like any other Assassin, except he can delay it quite awhile before starting it. This does mean, however, he is highly susceptible to being grabbed. Otherwise, try to limit how many light attacks you throw out against a Kensei with a hard-on for dodge attacks
-If you throw out a heavy attack, you can always feint and block, sometimes even parry the dodge attack. Kensei cannot feint his dodge attack, so if he goes through and you've feinted, you know you're in the clear to parry

The real issue is the travel path of the kensei dash attack. It's inconsistent and just takes a very awkward path. He almost circles around you sometimes. And the attack can also be delayed which can be very confusing. I think all dash attacks should be lights. They're too easy to use and they're fast as **** anyway. Should get a good punish off of it

It's the hitbox.
I have hit Berserkers, peacekeepers,Raiders,Gladiator as they are dodge attacking but Kensei's hit box is extremely awkward and is almost non existent.As a result of which,it makes it extremely safe.

Agreed. Its the safest move in the game. So many attacks just pass right through his body.
