The tracking on their shield bash is such that if I pre-dodge it always hits me, and so fast that I am not able to dodge on reaction. Their sweep gets me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I'm not even exaggerating here. I don't THINK this game does "I win" buttons, so there must be a way to deal with them. Any help would be appreciated.
Just dodge. Its literally an iwin button. There are no viable alternatives.
Its really not that hard. Practice.
Or just accept the fact that you wont be able to improve enough to be decent at for honor. Smack attacks in Dominion like half the population.
Not everything in life can be overcome by everyone.
Which Shield Bash?Originally Posted by DKHGames1138 Go to original post
There are 3 without a mixup combo, which there would be more with cancels and such. So before i try to explain and if i just said Go to Training wouldnt be much help at all
First sheild bash a player learns is the Charge / Hold Guard break + will Holding S. This one is were your question got confusing.
Second is a normal Chain to shield bash / Stun
Third is a a Shield Bash thats part of a Dodge/Counter , Valks get a Dodge bonus were they will ALWAYS Guard in the direction they are dodging, and it succeeds will not move much and open up counter options that will end with a guaranteed Bash / Stun
If its the long held charge your having issues with , Just back off
I know these facts because i picked Vikings as my faction and bought the game because it has many replayable stand alone Story modes / Offline
Valkyrie was something i used to be interested in, but had trouble Feinting until Remap
If it isn't the Long forward (slow) charge that just pushes a player around the map, your not going to dodge the stun bash ... any of them, because you pretty much showed everyone you can eat 2-5 regular combat moves and a Stun is a well deserved finisher to anyone that took that long to figure out they are getting hit lol
The charge does not follow a player , you can dodge immediately from the Charged Shoulder Bash. Shield bash is mostly a Stun thats short and a finisher. They call it a shield bash but really it works just like the Wardens Charge
Start with the Apprentice Trials , one of the first trials has a Valk spamming Charge and all you do is dodge around to complete it, then dodge and hit the BOT
Hope this helps, the game gets easier, trust me its not that complicated
