    Marching Fire Characters Incredibly Strong

    Okay, I don't know if it's just me but the characters in the Wu Lan clan feel superior to any other character in the game. And whilst these characters are available to those with the season pass for two weeks, the game is starting to feel like Pay to Win for 2 weeks, atleast in gank situations. 1v1s are okay, just takes some getting used to the new moves and the very strong new movesets. But you try play dominion or breach, and the team has one or more Nuxias on it that don't have a broken light attack button from overuse yet? There's no point even playing. The light spam you receive from not only the Nuxias, but every other enemy, is enough to make you throw your Xbox and controllers batteries included out the window.

    My point is that the characters feel very unbalanced compared to every other character.

    Why? Balancing team? Is there a balancing team? You sure?

    Not going to lie. I am waiting until the second for when I can use steel to begin buying Wu Lin heroes.

    That said, I don't really feel like they are that unbalanced The one I have the most trouble with in siege is big JJ, but even then I can usually draw even with the enemy when I am playing on my cent or conq.

    Really, it's just a matter of having an idea of how to rumble with them, and adjusting accordingly. I personally went into fights with them expecting to get nuked and played accordingly. As a result, most fights I enjoy against them typically swing either way.

    I have actually. Nuxia really isn't that bad. I just face off with them expecting the same cheese I expect from Orochis. Moment I land a GB with my cent, it's essentially gg.

    You're right, they are all strong, but none of them unbalanced, bad, or broken. I'm a rep 5 tiandi, I've played at least 30+ matches of breach, along with duals against the new hero's.

    Nuxia is semi annoying with the lights but she has a low health pool so it's not too bad fighting her, just go into training and practice against her.

    She isn't a bad character but I will say she is the worst in comparison to the other wulin, Shaolin being the best, Jiang Jun second best tiandi 3rd. I suggest practicing against all of them.

    The game isn't pay to win lol. It's 2 week exclusivity, compared to the one week exclusivity for season pass holders of last season. And they're not broken. They're strong.

    All of the Wu Lin heroes were tuned up after the Test to varying degrees, as the feedback we got at the time was that they were not strong. We'll continue to monitor your feedback. You're not the first person I've seen mention light spam concerns with the new heroes, so I'll make sure to report this to the team.

    Don't agree at all. The most annoying to fight so far for me is Tiandi. He is a vanguard spamer.. He can litteraly spam his bash and second lights which almost always works. Nuxia is frustrating for the same reasons as Roch... Looks like their is something difficult to understand in "400ms attacks are too fast for Console" ..

    JJ is really strong too but at least nothing too fast to react to.

    And i really don't feel Shaolin is the best. He is just good but once people gonna use to his kit not that much. And we would not see so many Shaolin real players in the future i think as he is too skilled for most of players.

    JJ and Shaolin are the skills char, Tiandi and Nuixa are noobs pleasant and their kit is easier to use to.

    That's not something new.

    Everyone was already complaining about PK lights -> we've got Roch 400 ms lights chain
    Everyone complain about roch lights -> We've got Valk 400ms lights (but only from the TOp so that's okay it's fine)
    But then, we've got Nuxia 400ms lights.... it just feels like their are no concern for console players

    You need more practive against them. A zerker is still superior to any of the wu lin hero just with his 400 ms light after a feint.
