Can we talk about Highlander | Forums

[Faithly88]

Please tell me I am not the only one who thinks that High lander in his current form after the CCU is honestly ridiculous...

The speed of his lights, hyper armour, heavy damage and rotation between stances isn't rite at all....

Damn, even if we just talk about his lights surely they need to be slower than they currently are ....

You nerfed Orochi's lights into the ground then created an update CCU which essentially turned a few class's into light spammers : /

[Gaser.]

They need to work on the animation of the combo light, the rest is rather fine.



Also if anyone gets spammed by lights then they got no one to blame but themselves, the update has not changed any of that.

[Faithly88]

Well I disagree, the update has made HL lights much quicker. I want to say they are basically as fast as the orochi lights they removed.

Also with his jankie animations they are beyond stupid.

Slam highlander lights into youtube and see what comes up they are broken as hell.

Lol, yeah probably my own fault for the wack animations and stupid 400ms - 500ms 3 chain lights.

Agree with Gaser. They're not faster or anything compared to other 500ms lights. The animation just looks jank because they didn't include any frames to smoothen out the transition between key points in said animation. Raider had this issue too until they adjusted it some what. The CCU imo didn't do anything significant for him. Though the faster in chain light means he's more capable of punishing people who try to whiff punish him.

Though the L>L combo is busted at the moment. You're supposed to be able to dodge out of the combo like any other L>L chain but this isn't possible with HL. I'm assuming it has to be the hitstun of either his first or second light because IIRC they increased the branch in time already with the first hotfix. And while it's made it easier to block by a bit it didn't fix the issue. Hoping that will be addressed soon.

He's fine you just need to get gud quite frankly. His lights/heavies are generic same as everyone else since the CCU (30 dmg max for heavies, 500ms "normalized" light speed), so this so called "above and beyond" is literally in your imagination.

Nothing has changed except you no longer get a free light parry from his pre-CCU light speed. Some say his light animations look funny, but I still say they look better than Hito or Jorm's super janky light animations.

OF is literally the same thing and pretty much useless until you are out of stamina and can't roll away from him.

I'll just go " git gud " then

Ignore the 100s of youtube videos showing him being BS.... They'll never update his animations so I suppose this is life

500ms normalized lights... on the heavy class just leaves a bad taste... it did when they gave it to raider and it still does...

Highlanders Light are all 500ms as far as I’m aware, wacky animation is just the problem.

Making light attacks anything above 500ms will just make them useless, just saying.

[Faithly88]

Yeah kinda of agree... I duno what it is, they do not feel 500ms maybe it is the animations.

He’s not even a heavy he’s a hybrid. If his lights were any slower they’d get parried everytime he threw them out just like pre CCU. Get used to the speed, it’s just the animation.
