Why does Kensei have 125 hp? | Forums

[KitingFatKidsEZ]

I know i have been harping on the hitpoint discrepancy for a while now but..

WHY?

Tiandi Warden 130
Raider 140

How does this guy have 125? Where is the consistency?

Does he have some obscure major advantage over the others that im not seeing? I need those 5 hp pleaseeeee

I'm more puzzled at why he's slower than someone like BP when sprinting.

Speaking about slow Samurais, give my girl Nobushi some roller skates already! So stupid watching Lawbringers run me down when they are decked out in heavy armor along with a heavy weapon and I'm wearing bathrobes, carrying a stick with a blade attached to it..

hybrids seem to have a serious speed problem. lawbringers outrun centurion, black prior outruns centurion as well.

Kensei has less hp because he is an actual balanced character. Warden is slightly overdone, Raider is waaaay too much

Like the character needs something. At this point id rather play pk in every matchup.

His UB is literally unusable - it gets beaten by everything 500ms light, random zone. If you can bash you can literally bash when you see the ub coming and theres nothing Kensei can do. If you even try to feint late so this whole thing could actually be considered a mixup you will get hit before you even feint. And the mixup itself still gets beaten by dodge attacks unless you predict that and hard feint.

All of that on top of 500 ms light chains, a super expensive zone with more recovery than pre buff Valk. Nerfed top light as well because Lawbringer impale on heavy parry is fine (on a character with 150hp!) but 20 damage Kensei is just too much! Cant have that.

Ohhh and in 4s its not even a mixup, you can just lock onto someone else and side dodge and be out of range of both the gb and the UB easy everytime.

Also why is heavy hard feint on late timing into gb still worthless against people who just raw heavy on light timing.

The character is so poor. He really is zzz

given the kensei's reach and tracking his speed never mattered to me. even with a roll you cant escape the kensei

Arguably the most relevant mode in the game is 4v4 and yes, a fairly large amount of time in that game mode is spent running from A to B.

Speed matters quite a lot.

Hey!

Interesting topic of conversation. In your opinion, why do you think Kensei deserves more health?
