Shugoki hug is broken and you know it | Forums

[Spinna1993]

Fair enough that im a noob. I dont spend a dozen of hours a day in for honor to be good enough. The thing is matching a decent Shugoki to me means always a LOSS... How can that fat dude hug you and heal himself, recover full stamina and make such a quick animation? Breaking his stamina is also pointless because when he falls down he recovers damn quickly. Its just not possible. Thats not punishing a dude for low reaction time. This is just broken

I know the feeling. Know way too many Shugokis that pressure pressure pressure, hug or pressure pressure grab throw hug. Rinse and repeat and its almost as bad as someone who is fluent with the Shaman chain, pretty much you get hit once or grabbed, you are screwed for half your health.

Has anyone of you guys ever spend 10min at the training arena, before spreading such stuff?

Try playing as Shugoki...it will help you see how to beat him.

I believe dodging/rolling backwards (not sideways) from the hug is considered the counter. Illyrian_King is right that you can practice the timing in Training. I believe you'll want to do it a short moment after he hunches over for the DE.

I do find it funny that Goki can use DE on every pikeman in breach...not just on the officers.

His ability to track people around walls and objects needs tuned down, just like they did with Shaman's pounce. Also, dodge rolling backwards seems like it usually doesn't get you far enough away. The range might need to be a bit shorter. I don't think the timing and when you dodge is too strict though. Dodge right when he ducks down to grab and you escape. Like with Shaman, I do hate that he gets full stamina recovery. I wish it were more like half for both if them.

Bash him and the hug doesnt happen. Side dodge works as well but like slow heavy attacks you have to time it.

As you said, you're a NOOB, get over it, he's super balanced, if not needs more buffs to his recovery

To be fair, I too do struggle against Shugoki since his rework. Probably just need more time adapting to the timings.
