Make a parry riposte move for pk | Forums

[Goat_of_Vermund]

Peacekeeper has the lowest heavy parry punish among all the assassins (with some clearly offense-based assassins like both Vikings getting 24/25 damage with a mixup followup), and the only hero in the game getting lower damage on a heavy parry is conqueror (and Valk and Raider gets the same, Valk has to zone, though she has a safe very damaging deflect). As far as I am aware, maybe you get the dagger cancel, which is still only 16 damage.

I think pk should get a dedicated light parry riposte, for 10 direct and 8 (2/second) bleed damage that starts chains.

numbers in ("") are values for TG.
the only riposte i could see for her that'll be confirmed on either parries would be some sort of lacerate or garrote, maybe a double knife strike into a twist.
anyway i'd imagine it dealing much more damage than 18, probably like 30(23).

like let's say you lacerate the target after any parry, it's 500ms, deals 20(13) and 10(10) 2/sec and counts as a chain starter but is guaranteed on heavy parries and light parries.

other stuff i could think off would be maybe a heart strike kinda thingy where she brutally pierces the enemy's chest with the short sword (animation would be like centurion's punches on guardbreak but with the blade facing downwards), being 700ms so it's only confirmed on light parries but it deals 32(22) and 10(10) 2/sec also counting as a chain starter.

but yeah, i think she should get one indeed.

Would giving PK an instant DC and making it a chain starter help? This would be instead of needing to soft-feint a heavy first.

It would kinda be like a dagger cancel that starts chains, after parrying an attack. Yes, it would help greatly getting a little pressure back after a parry, and others have far higher numbers. For example, zerker gets his free zone with a hyperarmor followup.

No. No. No no no no no no no.

PK IS NOT A DEFENSIVE CHARACTER. IF YOU WANT TO PARRY AND HAVE HIGH REWARDS, PICK A DEFENSIVE HERO, NOT AN ASSASSIN. HEROS ARE NOT BUILT TO SATISFY THE PLAYER. HEROES ARE BUILT TO SATISFY YOUR PLAY STYLE. IE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS WOUPD PICK OFFENSIVE HEROES. DO TOU GAURD OR PARRY ALOT? PLAY DEFENSIVE HEROES. DO BOTH? PICK A VANGAURD.

IF YOU WANT DO DAMAGE FOR A PARRY. PARRY A LIGHT, AND GET YOUR FREE HEAVY.

on the side. PK has a poison more lethal than that samurai chick (forgot name), has mix ups better than Gladiator. Has Dodge heavies that are the fastest in game, so you can punish almost anything. Has deflect. Has a poison gaurd break, and running gaurd break...

And now you want a riposte?

Lol, better mixups than gladiator? There goes all your credibility. The fastest dodge heavy part is pretty stupid as well, I guess you never played against a Shaman. Log in to the game, check pk's description. She is listed as a counterattacker, so she is a defensive character (at least partially). Is Berserker a defensive character? Because she gets 24 damage on a heavy parry. Shaman gets 25. Nuxia gets 20. Gladiator gets 20. Orochi gets 20. Pk gets 15.

Most of your comment is made of stupid assumption, some of them are clearly so false that anyone who played the game for three hours already knows. Anyway, thank you for bringing back this topic to the most recent!

Man, really??
She is FORCED to play on defensive...did you try to play with her in any way?

Yeah, playing defensive with an assassin is contraintuitive. Stupid some would say. But is the UNIQUE way to play with her and survive.

She is a counter attacker also but very weak at that. So unless you are on drugs...GTFO
We main her and if you don't know about her moves and capabilities stop making assumptions.

[iadvisoryi]

No way @dedprice isn't trolling. Zero chance he's serious. Even if I listed how nearly every point he made was wrong, I guarantee it wouldn't make a difference in their mind.

So to put it simply, PK IS HORRIBLE AND UN UNIQUE

[Goat_of_Vermund]

Honestly, I am a bit surprised. We always had noobs, lowskills and trolls saying stupid things (I loved the guy the most who was a conqueror main and *****ed about prebuff lawbringer being op, because he "spam parries"). But it is honestly surprising how many noobs flooded the forum lately who want some of the weakest heroes nerfed further because they are unable to block lights.

Well... uhhh.... she is literally tagged as a counter attacker.
