Highlander too weak? | Forums

[ArchThrone666]

I feel like Highlander has like no health, he loses his health so fast its insane, feels too squishy, and he is that large and beefy guy.

And i really hate the fact that his caber toss is almost useless against assassins with side heavy dashes, and i find that highlander lights gets parried 50/50 all the time.


Just my opinion, feel free too disagree.

do not forget caber toss is part of a 3part combo. start with unblockable heavy instead since it can be hardfeinted, then you punish their dodgeattack with a parry, "superior block"-lights or dodge their attack so you can grab and wallsplat.
i dont play Highlander much anymore but i remember feinting unbl.heavy to bait them into my fancy lightattack block just to throw out another unbl.heavy and repeat it over and over again xD

[pimmas01]

yes, yes it does. that is why you start with the heavy instead of the kick. the full combo is unbl.heavy -> kick -> toss. start from the heavy instead of kick so you can hardfeint it

Yes. Highlander is weak. He is also the hardest character to be good with in my opinion.

He's the highest damaging character and of you get HP gear perks he is nearly unkillable you have to be smoking something

Play on PS4? want me to show you how easily I learned him and how fast I can chunk your HP Bar?

Highlander might need a bit of love in terms of tweaks but he is by no means weak. He hits like a bus and his feint mindgames are fast and frequent. Your lights are getting parried? Well yeah, you aren't supposed to throw them from neutral, your are supposed to use their crushing counterstrike property to counter moves. That's why his base form is called defensive stance you are supposed to be defensive

Obviously you haven't seen what I can do uneasily got over 1.00+ KDA in deathmatch, stuff like dominion I'm nearly at 2.00 KDA. I DON'T know who you fight but there not good. I always use light attacks and nearly superior block my way in to a death train. If any highlander can be light attacked out or dodged your fighting trash and should know the difference between them. But I do think he could use a wider guard mode light combo set.
