Has anyone ever read Ubi For Honor description of Shugoki? Its wrong.

"The Shugoki are the disruptor Tank. They absorb a lot of hits thanks to their high health and passive uninterruptible stance which allows a bit more freedom while attacking. They’re excellent at dealing with crowds with his massive kanabo, but they’re very slow, both in movement and attack.
Difficulty: Easy
Disabler fighting style
Hard hitter
Special Capabilities
Passive uninterruptible stance
Charging heavy attacks
Light attacks not interruptible"


First: He doesn't have a large health pool. (large health pool + passive uninterruptible = false)
Seconded: He sucks at dealing with gank situations. Once his HA is down by one hit he becomes a really slow assassin.
Third: His light attacks are interruptible.

What it should say:
The Shugokis are glass cannons. They absorb one hit thanks to their passibe uniterruptible stand which allows a monicome of freedome while attacking except in gank situations where your tiny health pool and slow attacks will make you a prime target for a gang rape.
Difficulty: if you get good with him Ubi will debuff him some more.
Fighting Style: hope and pray technique
Special abilities:
1. Passive uniterruptible stance...unless you get guard broken.
2. Charged heavy attack...if you want to loose all your stamina via parry
3. Litght attacks that can be parryed easier than any other character

His weapon, the mighty kanabo, will gyrate over your dead carcass to show everyone just how useless you were in that team battle!

The light attacks are not interrupted on block, so they are uninterruptable. And if you have the revenge mode, you can deal with multiple gankers (if you knock down your main target, a side unblockable is safe to wind up, and anyone caught in it will take about 100 damage). If you are the ganker, your hug instakills targets, revenge or not (your team will beat your target to death during the hug).

That being said, he is extremely weak right now, and should be buffed some way (first, taking away the bonus damage against him, and the health loss on demon's embrace, but he needs far more than that).

Are you saying that his lights still do damaged when blocked?

I agree with everything else you said.

[Goat_of_Vermund]

They deal block damage, but only about 2 or 3. If they block the light attack, you can still follow it up with the heavy attack, since they can't stop your chains. It has advantages on paper, but they will parry it anyway, so that doesn't really matter in reality.

Shugo is pretty fine on gang, just block to get revenge then lock on enemy behind the line, let the unblockable heavy out, deal about max 97 ( i think ) damage. And all around u, r dead. In most maps , small lines which u can use ur charg. I see a lot of good shugos which make ur life very hard. No matter assassin or heavy or whatso ever. Its just he ,s not a harrasser , just a heavy slow assss fatman but can hit really hard. And u can abuse hype in 1v1 if u find out the right timing of grabs between attacks of chain! I dont say he does need a rework or changes but to say he is total trash naaah sry ! he ,s nt ! Some more chains , and he would do it well !

I am a pretty mediocre peacekeeper, had very bad connection today and faced two of them at the same time, and killed them both quite easily (the second one's last hp bar was taken by a team mate, but I had at least 4 bars and a full revenge, so I assume I could have kill him). If you look out for the hugs, he has nothing in ganks, and while he is like a cave troll if he gets a chance to hit into a group of enemies, he is very easy to flank. The best thing is, he doesn't even hit that hard, some vanguards and hybrids has about the same numbers on punishes (and the berserker beats it hands down of course). His hug deals less damage than the shaman's bite (excluding the instakill, but if you try to hug that low, a team mate or an enemy will probably kill you before you break that back).

Shugoki is not trash. But he is insanely underpowered. With the current mechanics of this game I would say he is by far the weakest hero.

I see thank you for the explanation. I agree that looks good on paper.
