[Goat_of_Vermund]

Pk is okay in 1v1 now (and will be better if the optionselects are nuked properly), but her 4v4 game is mediocre at best: she is a poor ganker, poor antiganker, has bad feats, no teamfight potential, and since getting guardbreaks in 4s is not as simple as it is in duels, her only actually broken feature can not work. Add a high recovery dodge attack, low range, no external pressure, bad renown gain and bleed cleanse to the mix, and you will have a truly bad choice.


Solution:

1. Change the guardbreak stab, from 38 damage to deal 1+3 for each light attack (3+9), and heal 4 hp for each (12 total heal). The healthswing would be 24, with 12 damage and 12 heal, plus it would lock the target down. It would still be a useful move this way, but for most of the time, the pk would go for the side heavy punish-this move would mainly help in ganks, or if prolonging is more important than dealing damage (or if the target is immune to damage, like in revenge).

2. Let pk instantly cancel her dodge attack recoveries on hit or miss, either with a dodge or an opener attack. It would not stop the otherwise very easy to parry attack to be reactable, but pk would get decent mobility.

3. Remove Conqueror, Thick skin, Pugno Mortis and Last Laugh. For T1, give her Fast Recovery. For T2, give her a throwing dagger that deals 15 bleed damage (animation available in an execution). For T3, give her a passive that makes her damage higher against opponent in low hp (10% under 75%, 25% under 30% hp. Many assassins in many games have similar skills). T4 should be Nailbomb.


4. Standard renown gain, no bleed cleanse.

I feel like one of the more major problems pk has is that she just isn't that great in group engagements. She obviously doesn't have any bashes or unblockables so she can't help confirm kills really.

Imo it would be neat if they made her top heavy opener soft feint into maybe a bash or ring the bell like move. Similar to ara or kensei. Especially since opener top heavies are missing an "option" with the heavy, and bleed cancel matching up in timing.

A bash, even a bad one, would definetely help a lot. Even if it does not guarantee damage.

Other weird idea. Make bleed cancel from specifically top unblockable. The idea of getting bled would cause a similar guess as if ara is doing a heavy opener. Plus not much actual work required to apply it in game.

you know I agree, pk needs fixes, but that feats sugestions, took me by surprise.

I use thick skin with mediocre results, but the others sure they can be erased, even if sometimes I use last laugh in breach your sugestions are actually real good, first feat specifically I didn´t think about it, Idk how I didn´t lol it makes a lot of sense since devs aparently don´t want to fix her stamina problem.

another good point is the new feat you propose so she can be a real assassin , and finish off already weakened opponents, real nice man.

it´s sad how I love her so much my underdog queen...but I actually have real fun with nuxia, to the point I think to switch mains constantly, lol I´m cheating her.

I think I would still prefer the other T1s. The executioner T2 and the Fiat Lux are somewhat tematic, with the former benefitting from my changes (and the latter hopefully getting a buff soon). That T3 would really help a lot, especially if we would combine it with Fear Itself or Nailbomb.

I would specifically remove thick skin because pk is a glass canon, this defensive is weak to actually help her, and bad T2 is a big reason she sucks. Just compare it to what Nuxia does when T2 is unlocked.

I tried her and she is horrible against Black Prior, hito and shugoki, so far.

My god you have all my respect PK mains, I tried my best but the difference in viability is big. I now hate Black Prior cause of her LMAO!

Pk is sort of a slower playstyle and takes some getting used to

Pk is extremely bad for 4v4, but for duels, she is actually quite decent. Just not at the level of Hito, shugo and bp. She is also quite bad against Lawbringer and hyperarmor characters.

However, she can demolish Wardens.
