    What can a Lawbringer do vs a Conqueror?

    I literally don't have a clue.

    Nothing, really, unless you're into complete turtling with Shove on block. Even then, you'll have to dodge the forward SB's and that's really annoying to do if he decides to just use that.

    If you're OOS, though, you might as well throw the towel. Conq's OOS game is ridiculous.

    My guess is that this is concerning how to counter forward shield bash? You didn't bother to give any details.

    For that, your best bet is to go for a shove after a side dodge. Now obviously, Conqueror can get out of the pseudo 50/50 between a light and guard break a lot easier than most classes, however Conqueror does still have a limited window to do that dodge to block the light in time. So go for a feigned heavy instead of a light, the Conqueror will most likely dodge thinking it is a light and go for a shield bash, when you see the side dodge, dodge backwards.

    A side dodge shield bash has a lower range and takes longer to start than a forward bash, thus the conqueror will whiff the shield bash in front of you and will be able to branch into a guard break at 800ms while Conqueror is still in the miss recovery.

    Alternatively, if the Conqueror only does a side dodge, they will be too far away to catch you with a guard break since you both dodged in different directions. If Conqueror tends to only do side dodges without a shield bash, then you simply wait after the feigned heavy and guard break the dodge.

    You can get a top light instead of going for a backwards dodge after the heavy feign, it'll hit before the side shield bash can.
