    Punch Through doesn’t work on Valk

    I’m aware Punch through has been nerfed. But when I fight against a Valk my infinite chain just stops. What’s the point of this feat if it stops with one attack?

    They took combo stopping shield block from
    Conq and now they gave it to Valk. She isn’t even heavy. I’m appalled how they make things inconsistent and illogical in this game...

    Since when does punch through let you combo against anyone? I'm pretty sure it's only higher block damage

    The infinite chain was already brought up as a bug and one that was going to be removed. Now it works as intended, as a way to increase damage vs blocks.

    Man comon.

    You are raging everywhere on the forum about valk.

    But when someone show up and explain to you with true argue they are no problem with her, she is just viable now and good.

    Then you dont even answer.

    Punch through was a ****ing bug for a while and they fix it.
    Nothing to do with valk. Stop hating Valk with no reasons man.

    It was NOT a bug. The uninterruptible property of this feat was made permanent in a recent patch. Conquerors like me used the heck out of it because infinite uninterruptible light spam was a blast (in a broken OP way) and Ubisoft removed the uninterruptible property from light attacks.

    So now punch through is trash again and they nerfed shugoki and my best non-toxic skill got a new bug.

    As for Valkyrie, if her shield has something mine doesn't I'm going to be really mad, but I think you just didn't notice that they re-ruined punch through. Your light attacks won't chain after a block from anyone.

    Lol it's true! The uninterruptible thing was in the patch notes. It lasted I think less than a month, during which my (conqueror's) endless light chain was pretty cheesy. Ubisoft over-nerfed it for everybody in the last patch and I think that's causing the original poster's issue.

    Light attacks with punch-through used to be uninterruptible until you died, then it quit working.
    They fixed that bug, making it always uninterruptible. They said right in the notes that they were making it stay uninterruptible.
    They saw what terrible things my people were doing with punch through light spam and ruined it for everybody to stop the madness.

    And they bugged conqueror's full block to teach me a lesson. Grumble grumble....

    Okay I didn’t know it was considered a bug.

    Lets think about this right?

    Do you know any hero his or her combo stops because it’s blocked? Take Aramusha for example. Does his chain stop because you block him? It doesn’t stop does it? Take any other hero it’s the same.

    So why my combo stops because it’s being blocked?

    It so happens it does block damage. That’s the whole purpose of the feat. Aramusha does bleed damage on blocked attacks on his bleed feat.

    I think it just got nerfed because it’s just strong punch through and infinite chain.

    Block on heal was also useless.

    Thank you anyways.

    What? My combo chains are always stopped if I get blocked. If conqueror light attack gets blocked I don't get to do the fast chained one, and warden doesn't get to do the double light if the light got blocked. I assume that Aramusa works the same way but I don't know.

    As of this patch, punch through doesn't change that. It did for a short time, but that was not a bug.

    I don’t know which hero you are playing maybe Orochi?

    Maybe depends on the hero not sure

    Double light only works if you land first one. Just like Shaman Or Shinobi.
