    Gryphon is nice, but a bit strong

    No, its not his moveset. Its his damage and the hitbox. His Dodge Attack is so broken and His damage is to high. Also if you predict the kick and you dodge it, but gryphon makes the heavy, its gonna hit you. I think the finisher heavy should not follow u, after a Dodge. U got the light follower for that

    Change Idea:

    - Kick damage reduce from 28 to 24
    - Heavyfinisher should not hit after a dodge
    - Dodge Hitbox should get fixes

    And thats all. Gryphon is not to OP. These are the biggest reason, why players don't Like gryphon. This little change would not make gryphon to a weak charakter. We already have Shinobi

    I dunno I see his heavy finisher as kind of unique to him and its one of the most satisfying attacks to land when playing as him.

    I think it's still too early to go making any serious changes to him accept maybe adjusting numbers if need be. He's still relatively new and I've got a good amount of time played as him and players at least at my skill level have adapted quickly.

    Landing the kick is hardly certain as it felt for first few days and players seem to keep getting better reading him as days go by.

    He really is a pretty balanced new hero, especially when compared to other hero releases. Only things he has I would agree are clearly OP are related to feats, especially the crossbow. Heals, does nice damage and is practically instant. If someone dodges it, it was on accident.

    Its not the kick, which is the real problem. After His Second oombo, most of them try to Dodge His kick, but if gryphon makes his heavy then, it gives you a free hit. 90% of Gryphon players do this and the light would be pretty useless. If this gets nerfed, you can still Hit with a heavy after his second combo. How? U predict the dodge, feint the finisher heavy and guardbreak him in the dodge. It will cost more stamina, but it would be more balenced, cause u have to be more carefull. I also play him, hes super cool, but a bit to strong. This little changes would make him super balenced and he would still be a strong Charakter, If u Play him well

    Because he was born as a knight, but embraced other cultures as well. Also, he has many looks: Knight, Samurai, Viking, Roman, Chinese. He can wear many things.

    I don’t think that the dmg of the finisher bash heavy should be the same then the dmg of most neutral heavys.

    Completely butchers the risk and reward if you think about that the most use mix up parts give a heavy on right read.


    The second thing is a general gameplay thing.

    And the third I’m not really aware of.

    he is strong really , but not broken. maybe his stamina use can be tweaked a little bit, today my conqu was smashed by one gryphon 3-0, IDK how to use slow chars very well, but what I can see is that he can do his things over and over...and over. This person also killed my PK 3-2 with a zerk level 13 rep 0 with 6 deflects to lights even feinted ones, Is it always like this on pc? I mean really? rep 0 and doing deflects to any move of my asassin? when I was on console very few people can actually do that let alone a rep 0. but yeah his gryphon was real hard, unless of course this player is only smurfing every frickin day, since beta. or activating a script...like a warden did yesterday. Oh well still think his stamina cost relation is a lil cheap.

    Yeah, no. How about each faction stick with their own language and looks. Less is more.
