    Shinobi health pool?

    Hello all, I have been a Glad main for quite some time now, and just recently expanded to PK, and I have been wanting to play shinobi, but how is his health pool? Is it just as bad as cent? I dont much care for being swatted like a fly if I **** up once lol.

    His health got a buff but still, don't make any mistakes. It's easy to be killed when you do while playing as a shinobi.

    Anytime mate. Oh forgot to mention, don't use his ranged atacks unless is garanteed (Like someone miss a GB or an atack because is too far away from you). Because it's very punishble, I guess you don't want to flip your back against the ground.

    With how janky Shinobi’s ranged options are lately, they probably could still punish you.

    Do yourself a favor and move to Shaman.

    Lol any of his range attacks barely get punished. By the time you recover from either parrying the range attacks or counter guard break the range grab and the dash towards s him you get a side heavy, sometimes that doesn't even work. Shinobi range attack the safest in the entire game.

    I take that you don't even know what are you talking about or just one more troll. Shinobi ranged atacks are very punishble that is why nobody uses it unless is garanteed. Just look for some youtuber shinobi main and you will see that he barely uses range atack.

    How is it punishable? Not trolling, genuine question. I've played against shinobi and while I have no trouble blocking his ranged attack, I've never been able to punish it effectively. What am I missing?

    Parrying or counter guardbreaking his ranged attacks puts him on the ground for 800ms, how don't you see how that's punishable? Also, if you're close and you block a ranged attack, you can get a free guardbreak.

    Yeah I definitely have noticed his range atk getting punished. Or dodged. Regardless, as Armored said, i will just give both shaman and shinobo a shot and see which better fits me. Seems like shaman has a far superior HP pool than shinobi. Could be just my pov though.
