    Just made another thread outlining the only issue I see in the kit which is the downstance.

    With how many unblockables and bashes there are, I don't see it being too big of an issue. Unless however, the recovery time to dodge out of it is incredibly fast.

    Downstance just lasts too long. Too powerful as a defensive tool. The game is supposed to be going more towards offense and the rest of his kit is seeming to be that way, just the downstance is too strong from what I could see.

    Basically, I see myself using this hero and just ruining everybody and I specifically avoid heroes that give me easy wins because I enjoy a challenge. When it becomes too easy for me, that's when I decide a hero is too strong.

    I just think this hero is going to make fights simple and one sided but then again, so do most new heroes on release.

    I see nerfs coming pretty quick to this guy.

    Is this a speed run for calling for nerfs? The character was just shown and honestly doesn't seem godlike or anything.

    The first 3 feats shouldn't refresh on Superior Block, but other than that, I think that this new hero will be ok.

    Also, I hope that his full block/down stance is GB-able. If it's not, than the devs should make it so, and there will be no severe problems as far as I can tell.

    I didn't say he looks god like, nor am I saying he needs massive nerfs, just lower the duration of his downstance or have it consume big stamina.

    Everything else on him looks absolutely fantastic.

    As I said, I'm judging based on what I see myself able to do with the hero. I see that downstance giving me easy wins and easy wins are boring.

    Exactly. Feats are fine if they don't refresh like that and they have a cooldown after using them. Doesn't even need to be a long cooldown.

    He's okay. I don't see him being particularly strong in duels. Nor can I think of anything from his kit making him a strong team fighter. Depends on what kind of peel he might have.

    I hate his T4 conceptually. It directly buffs both warlord and goki. And it makes other T4's stronger. Other than that I don't think his T3 should be able to be refreshed.

    His T1 and T2 refresh on hit but only when his T3 is active Iirc. The fact that his T3 gives him his T1 and 2 without their conditionals is strong as is. Being able to refresh them to extend their duration while his T3 is up is even better. The ability to refresh his Y3 is just a little overkill.

    Not that his T1 and T2 are particularly strong to begin with. But having infinite uptime (in theory,) with 3 of your feats the moment you unlock your T3 is just absurd.

    To be honest his feats and movesets makes it feel like his place should be in 4v4s than 1v1s. I think he would be S+ for 4v4s due to his amazing superior block and feat resets and healing. But for 1v1s he would be probably a B+ or A-. I feel like he just has different forms of fighting
    where he building up damage and ongoing pressure but the other feels like a passive defensive counter.

    Basically he feels like a Offensive and Defensive Hero which is useful in 4v4s and what we need for more heros. But that's my opinion! Thoughts?
