>High rep roach uses revenge in a 1v4
>Entire team spills their spaghetti and dies to zone spam

>>174976129
It's probably because of his one death. Dominion retardedly used the same point boost killstreak system present in Skirmish, so the other players were getting something like 40 renown per kill by the end, whereas lawboy might have died halfway through his 10 kills and got his bonus reset.
Imho this shouldn't be in Dom, and removing it would make objective control more important and reduce snowballing.

>Roach parries me while doing the katana spin emote
I was never so conflicted between mad and not mad

>>174976527
the thing is, rep points don't add to your dominion score. Only your level up for feats. The killing system is fine on dom, you also gotta take the points or you're not levelling up or helping the game

>>174976527
Anon who posted the pic here. I killed that LB shortly before the match ended, so I think >>174976129 may've been right in that he just focused on murder rather than point capturing. I mean he was the only one willing to waste his time climbing on the ladder I was camping like five times before and after I killed him.

>>174978286
People are extremely butthurt about Shug. Against one guy I did a charge a single time because he was running away, didn't even follow up with heavy.
> "So glad shugoki charge gets nerfed :)"
>:)

I fucking hate Orochi, dumb fucking zone attack and his smug fucking playerbase with their le feint into le 500 damage top light

>>174978604

the only reasin I was worried about the charge nerf was I cant do my out of stam 50/50

but Ive been testing a new one

when they have no stam you run up and charge a heavy, since its unblockable they have to parry or get hit, works p well so far, nice little mind game for shug, so you can still dish out mad damage when they are out of stam

>>174978985
I tried this and they just dodged.

>>174978985
They can also dodge the unblockable instead of parry. So it's not really a true 50/50, more of a 33/33/33.

t. Raider main.

Hello /fhg/. I recently bought the game on PS4, and would like to gitgud, but it seems that Duel always has Low Activity and even If I do match up, it's against people who are much higher rep than me, and usually end up in crushing defeat for me. The only reason I sometime win is most likely due to luck than skill. Any tips on how to get better?
Oh and I looked for For Honor General in PS4 community but it only had 20 members, and I didn't saw TheSteroid386 in member list either, so was it some other group?

so raider counters a ton of bullsit and shugoki can counter the rest

why not just play these 2 herores?

>>174979612
Duels are the big-boy gamemode, and the only people that really play them will do anything for that W.

Consider brawls, instead. In my experience, Brawl players are consistently shittier than duel players.

I have both Kensei and Roachie boy at Rep 1, who should I grind to rep 3?

>>174979875
Kenpai

>>174979786
Countering is nice but you also have to get a hit in

I wonder if that second Centurion "leak" is real.

>>174979838
So I won't be finding many new casual players there?
I'd tried doing brawl but it just always turns into smaller elimination mode where you have to ledge the first guy ASAP and then gank the other one. Still, thank you. I guess I'll play Brawl more and hope to gitgud there!

>>174979612
That was probably the right community.

>how to get better
Duels usually have the better players in them, so it's probably the best way to get better, although you will suffer losses somewhat often. But that shouldn't matter, anyway.

Just like the other anon said, brawls tend to be filled with slightly worse players, but still better than 4v4s. It's a nice medium, and therefore, it's my favorite game mode. Playing brawls will still definitely teach you the game, rather than 4v4s.

Another suggestion would be to play a character that absolutely forces you to have good fundamentals to do well.

>>174980103
The moveset leak?

>>174980105
You could consider just taking brawl as 2 duels. Some people will get pissy at you for being an honorfag or whatever, but rushing a ledge kill and a 2v1 isn't how you improve.

>>174980236
That one is isn't real. I had one of the guys that went up to the community workshop confirm.

>>174979875
Kensei.

>>174980390
After reading that, I hope the leak is an actual leak. That all sounds swell.

Except all the fucking move names are awful. I cannot believe that these are the actual move names.

PATCH WHEN!?

>>174980671
n e v e r e v e r

>>174980175
I don't really care about losses as long as I get to learn stuff, but it seems against few people It just seems hopeless.
As for character that forces me to have good fundamentals, which one would that be? I've only tried Warden, Warlord and Nobushi.

>>174980253
Well hopefully people don't get too mad. I'll try to take it 1v1 on brawl. Though should I be interrupting someone's finisher? It feels cheap that I'm taking away their hard end win, but sometimes at same time if we're both on low health, I rather not have them enough health that they can potentially play aggressive and I've to play defensive.

HOLY SHIT UPDATING

Really, do whatever the fuck you want in Brawls: don't give a shit what other people think. In that context you're doing what you want to do and fighting the enemies one at a time, for practice. This doesn't mean you need to go full honorfag.

>>174980946

>>174980946
update this
*unzips shoulderbash nerfs*

>>174980798
Berserker and kensei would teach you how to mindfuck your opponent

Lawbringer relies on parries so it forces you to learn how (if you don't use the newly introduced 50/50)

Some people say raider is pretty good at forcing you to learn but I've never played him so I won't comment on him

Overall, you can still learn good fundamentals with any character, so it doesn't mean you have to play one of these, it's just that these characters rely on it while others usually have something else they can use

>>174981567

will oni charge knockdown if opponenet has no stam?

Let's rev up everybody's personal /OUR OPINION/ for the new patch (when it's out).

>S Tier: Warlord
After this newest patch bumps Warden and guts Shugouki, Warlord will be practically undisputed for king of 1v1.

>S- Tier: Peacekeeper
Even with the further light nerfs she'll probably have her instant zone and the best lights in the game.

>A Tier: Raider
Now that Raider's only two bad matchups are Warlord and Peacekeeper, he can practically stomp any other character in the game.

>A- Tier: Lawbringer
With the newest buff/bugfix his shove mixup will become that much more annoying. He'll still be mediocre against the top tier, but then again so is everyone else.

>B+ Tier: Warden
The nerf will make his shoulderbash mixups a lot less potent, but since stamina cost isn't lowered it's still very spammable in the neutral.

>B Tier: Valkyrie, Orochi, Shugouki, Berserker
Even though most people have learned how to deal with Valkyrie, she's still decent against slower characters. Orochi's deflect will give him much more incentive to use it, but his low health will make him better at trading. Shugouki is completely gutted without Oni Charge, but heal on Demon's Embrace and the armor to tank hits will keep him useful in some matchups. Berserker got the super armor buff, which in itself is minor. However now that people are learning how to be tricky dicky with him, his feint game is practically unrivaled and his top heavy still does nearly two bars.

>B- Tier: Kensei, Nobushi, Berserker
Kensei has gotten a lot of love with his buffs, but a lot of the mixups are still only useful against people who don't know how useless they are. Nobushi has gotten to the point where everybody knows how to parry her lights and everybody knows how to dodge her kicks. The only thing she can hope to do is out turtle or spam and hope something happens.

>C Tier: Conqueror
If you don't see why he's bottom tier I'll be happy to let you know how retarded you are in a separate post.

>>174981567
Conqueror vs. Raider.

>>174981826
Nah, Warden would probably be B tier. Before it wasn't good at high level play, now it's not good ad mid level play as you'll get lighted as soon as you do it. Warden's attacks are pretty retarded anyways, top light is able to be parried easily - even if in a different guard. Side light is the same thing. Nobody parries heavies high level. Keep guard left and Warden can't zone.

Orochi should be B+.

>>174980976
A'ight. Thank you. I'll just throw them and not give them free health.

>>174981246
Well, I have hard time blocking lights usually so I don't think I could parry with Lawbringer. Though heavies I can parry. Still, I guess I'll try Kensei or Berserker next.

>>174981407
I don't really know what Vortex Spam means. If you mean Light into Shoulder Bash, into 2 more lights. Yeah I do that. Basically Top Light, Bash, 2 Lights, Bash, 2 Lights, Grab. I do know that I can also turn bash into Top Heavy but it never worked for me. Also I don't like to charge it usually because most people just do Side-step attack, and feinting is kinda hard, since I've to keep swiftly move my left thumb on Right Stick ,Square and Circle.

>>174981826
I don't think warden should be below lawbringer.

Law's new mixup is pretty retarded, but warden's shoulder can still break a turtle, even post-nerf, can it not? The shove is easy to dodge, and the shove itself isn't the 50/50, it's what comes after it. Shoulder itself is the 50/50.

>>174982262
No, you can interrupt it with your fastest attack and you can't parry it because muh recovery frames on shoulder cancel.

Lawbringer vs shugoki

>matchmade with US
>salt everywhere and 50% wardens
>matchmade in EU

If wardens shoulder bash was really a 50/50 it would have been obsolete a long time ago.

>>174981826

>Conq in C


when will this meme end, most of the roster cant tech his nmissed bash, hes basically the same minusthe block from it

>>174982345
That's true. Are there certain characters that don't have a light fast enough to interrupt it though?

Also I feel as if you only have to watch out for two things when facing a law, the top light and shove. Just keep your guard top and be ready to dodge (and of course, react to any of his other attacks) and you probably won't get hit.

Warden has his top light and zone, along with his shoulder mixup (admittedly not as good as before, though), so I still believe that warden is slightly better than law. Not by much, though.

His armor was practically only useful against Warden when both people know what they're doing. Without it he's just a slow as fuck character with bad punishes if there's no wall.

>>174982813
It is unless your enemy is shit.

>>174982742
Nope, it was reduced so that all characters can interrupt it with their fastest attack.

Top light sucks, unless you mean crushing counter - in which case Orochi can parry and do a heavy attack for 5 less damage. Top light in itself is pointless because it will get parried easily. Zone attack is also useless because it's punished on whiff, block, or even if you're in a gank and someone is behind you. Free GB for them because recovery frames. His zone is trash.

>>174982965
Not to mention shugoki would just oni charge you to death until now.

Ah, good to know.

About top light, is it really that bad? Isn't it a decently fast attack? I can parry it pretty consistently, but I've never personally seen anyone else parry it before. Maybe it's because I'm on console, if that makes a difference.

The reason I mentioned zone is because of it's speed, but yeah, it's definitely trash compared to some other zones, due to the punishment potential.

>>174983075

not it wasnt, he can tank 1 hit from anything

ANYTHING, how do you not see how usefull that is? how do you open up a good shugoki? gb? enjoy getting light + headbutteed to oblivion

Shug is just bullshit with how he gets a confirmed demons embrace off a wallbang, because all he has to do is either turtle next to a wall for a parry, or just tank a hit to GB and wall bang. And on top of doing a good amount of damage he heals himself off it, which is absolute bullshit

Feint into gb if they parry fish. Shugokis can't feint fast enough to tech it. Where did this meme of shug being good in 1v1s withount oni charge come from?

Does riptide strike actually give any iframes or whatever? What's the point?

>>174985476
That's not even how you use 't.' Raiders are, with few exceptions, parrybait machines that are btfo by anyone expecting stunning tap. And until they nerf the bearhug or armor, Shug is still pretty decent.

>>174985731

If a Shugoki is in "critical status" Demon's Embrace instantly kills the other player.

Whiff punish. Orochi's entire kit is based around punishing bad attacks with a shitload of damage.

>>174985808
You use it when you want to show your opponent you strong will to kill yourself, they will promptly parry it and grant your deathwish

>>174985731
shug only gets intsta kill when <25. NOT =<25. I know this sounds annoying, but just letting a shug regen to 25 is better than risking an insta kill hug (if they are near a wall). My suggestion is to only use attacks that deal 25 or more when he's at one bar.

You can change stance for free during the parry animation: change to a side stance then instead of waiting for the parry to finish.

And there is no reason, really, Raider is just full of inconsistencies like that. GB confirms a zone, but not against assassins because they can parry it. Wallsplats confirm a side heavy, but only if the wall isn't too close to you. You can do a 90 damage exhaustion punish if you start with a left side heavy, but not a right side heavy.

Raider needs some tweaking.

>>174987162
Oh yeah, on console you have no actual way of trying to tell them to fucking stop besides spamming the help button, or taking time when you die to message them. And I've NEVER had an honorfag stop honorfagging on me, even when the enemy team is ganking and ledging nonstop.
I've shared this story before, but it's still the worst case of honorfagging I've ever seen

You parry as raider? ok, is it a heavy or a light parry? are you in range for a gb? are they an assassin? if near a wall you can't be too near a wall.
I quit raider after 10 levels

Don't care, she's about offensive light spamming.
A rapier and main gauche would be focused on baiting / feinting and counterattacks.
Very different playstyles.

shugo's punish vs bash is that he has infinite super armor and gets a free GB->homerun, or light->headbutt on you for every time you attempt to bash him

rep 16 conq here, shugo is a struggle even without the broken as fuck charge cheese. you are forced to fight him without bash, and any true opener he gets on you, he can punish at least twice as hard as you can do to him

>Fullblock gives him another avenue to protect himself
>His guardbreak throws are arguably the best in the game, since they carry you far in whatever direction he wants, allowing him to take advantage of the environment in a way not many characters can
>In 4v4, he has some of the best feats in the game; he's one of the few characters that can run a full passive build and become a force of nature
In short, Warlord has a lot of tools and features that can make him an oppressive opponent.

The stun time is longer when you parry a light.
If you parry a heavy, they recover in time to parry or dodge AD MORTEM, or Impaling Riposte. You can still usually get in a guard break and can always get in the nose boop though.

>>174992051

Gimme that fucking top mythic NAO

>>174993516
Let me put it another way, any potential thrusting sword-using character would be encroaching on mechanical space which is already staked out by valkyrie.

Also, if you reskinned valkyrie as a rapier user, you could use different animations with the same timing. So, the heavies could appear to be thrusts, and it would be mechanically identical so long as their parry window, damage, etc is the same. This is the reason that we won't get a character with a thrusting sword.

>>174993937
that happened to me today against a warlord

>>174992979

Our damage taken is basically fractional with the parry defense perk even before revenge defense.

He's certainly in a better place, but the block>shove really isn't good for the game, makes any blockable attack a bad proposition against him.
Agree with the guy who keeps saying the undodgeable shove should be after you hit him, not after he blocks.

>>174996225
This shit is the worst as a Raider. Enemy is turtling, and every time you do anything they just 500ms poke you. You can't feint fast enough to parry it, and if you turtle back no one does anything.

>>174996457
They should just give non-chain raider heavies armor. Maybe law too, one they nerf his block shove.

you don't, just spam top light and your flicker zone for instant KOs for every game

tru3talent says a 50% chip damage on blocked heavies and 20% chip damage on lights would "fix" this game. If you disagree please explain why.

>>174997751
it would encourage parry spam, thus actually making the turtle meta worse.

I'd rather chew my own fingers off than make the turtle meta worse

>>174997751
It'd certainly be progress, a strong incentive for people to parry instead of block - and would fix LB's block>shove cancer.
But I still think parries are too easy in general, they should lower the size of the window on heavies and slower lights.

>>174997567
No, it's Berserkers. They all play the exact same way. Random light, heavy, feint, guard break. ENDLESSLY

Is it weird that I don't even execute people in duels anymore? If I kill with a heavy, I just instantly unlock and let them flop to the ground. Executions seem indulgent.

>>174998639
Valkyrie isn't really that easy once you play competent people though. It's easy to block her shit, sweep is basically a free punish, and other than her lights nothing she has is that strong.

long for when you need more hp back from your kill

>>174999048
Yeah, I know, but in dom you don't really need it since you can just go cap a point and get to full in no time. And in elim/skirmish there's the health powerup. I just don't see it as a big deal I guess.

I don't know where else to look for a solution for this, so I'm asking here. I've looked in the community forums and google and i just cant seem to fix this, maybe one of you have run into it and have figured it out. I play on pc, and I use a wired xbox 360 controller (my old scuff). I have played this game for 180 hours and then took a two week break from it, work got super busy, who cares. I come back and my controls aren't working, specifically, i cannot block. Everything else works except initiating guard stance. I've used big picture mode on steam and tried different control profiles. I've used the only community fix ive found and unplugged all my usb except my controller. I've re-installed my controller drivers. Nothing has worked, and it still doesn't work. The button works though, I've tested it in skyrim and on my ps2 emulator. It even works in for honor not playing, like in the customize screen to look at your char without the overlay. Does anyone know something i haven't tried (aside from suicide) to get this to work, I just want to play again. Thanks in advanced.

I used to have an issue with my wireless controller where, randomly, I would be unable to do heavy attacks because the right trigger would become the lock-on button too. As far as I know, it was never fixed. I'd suggest you learn how to use mouse and keyboard, since it's more effective anyway.

>>175001403

Big picture fucked everything up for me from the start. . Had to reinstall my controller drivers, no idea why it did that, I'm using a normal 360 controller.
I just resided to using the official way and edited the controls in the config file of the game. A side effect of that is that I could no longer press the two trigger buttons at once (for whatever reason, I did not evne alter their function), so could no longer manually lock on and do a heavy at the same time, I just switched to toggle lock on then.

>The V1.06 patch on PC has been delayed and will not be released today as previously planned. We’re as eager to release this one as you are, but we want to make sure everything is in order before doing so. We’ll update you tomorrow with the new release day/time as soon as we have it locked.

Button remapping and the convenience of putting something on side mouse button or something.

>>175001947
Sad. Wanted to try roaches deflect.

now that's a sexy execution, really makes my dingus hard

>>175002310
Yeah, we've known about it for weeks.

>>175002183
I use the xbone elite controller and that has

Remap
Deadzone settings
Higher sticks

Feels pretty gud.

>>175002310
I hope they release it on next mainte, i want to push my crotch too close to nobushi's

>Button remapping and the convenience of putting something on side mouse button or something.
But I have remapping and I don't need any other buttons because I have everything in range (after remapping)

Baaaa! >:3

>>175002663
Well you're not using the objectively best flail head so there's that.

Can you even remap your buttons on shitbox?

>>175002381
>xbone elite controller
>wireless

Playing with a wireless mouse would be bad enough, but a wireless controller is fucking shit.

Someone talk me out of buying Warden's elite outfit solely for Ringmail.

>>174975078
Centurion will be the new one
screencap this

>>175002724

which is?

How much constant grinding would i take to hit rep3?

>>175002881

so the third and first are about as annoying as i intended, thats good to know

what pattern do you suggest for the middle one? i have a hard time deciding

>>175003048

Buy mythic for the fleur de lys paint pattern

>>175003241
What color is that on the first one? I don't remember ever seeing white/white/red

>>175003231
AFAIK you can easily get a rep a day from grinding 4v4 modes.

Reminder that Knights will win the last round so Ubisoft can stretch out the season for another round with a tiebreaker round.

>>175003048
save it for dlc characters, warden's a fag anyway

>>175003375
They have already confirmed that the tiebreaker is going to be war assets deployed in the final round.

>>175002310
You got any other webms?

>>175003375
They've already said it's not gonna work like that.

>>175001656
People who care about the game and would like to see the game improve in a good way unlike the rants the redditfags present.
>>175001950
Yes, it should be possible but ofc you'll get hit sometimes but if you know he's going to do it, it should be easy for you. The only thing I can say is to keep practising.

>>175003368
I used to get 2 a day from afk farming

>>175003341

theres some blue in it, its well hidden by the outfit tho. look at the ends of the tassles

I wonder when the executed state kicks in. If it's right on the stabthrough then it'll be as good as LBs Impale execution.

This probably got asked a shitton already but what's the best way to practice Orochi?
He's the only assassin that I have fun playing

>>175004020
Playing him

>it's another "cant even escape the faggotry of this game's multiplayer in an offline bot game because the bots run for buffs when low and have max revive speed" episode

why do my bots wait patiently while the enemy revives but bots will home in on me if i try to revive? Can't I just get my orders done quickly in a bot game?

>>175003938
Impale isn't even the best all purpose execution for LB

>>175003368
I'm assuming it doesn't take 24 hours of straight up 4v4s, so I'm asking about howw long would I have to play to get 1 rep.

Like, 6 hours?10?

>>175002310
this execution is erotic

>>175004108


All purpose, no, but it's the best at putting enemies into the executed state quickly, which is good when you're in a hurry.

>>175002719
I thought you were gone anon, I missed you and your cute sheeps

>>175004257
4v4 AFK farming would get you 2 reps a day.
I imagine if you were actually playing it would probably take 8-10 hours.

>>175004454
I'd gladly do 4v4 AFK farming, but I'd rather not get banned/suspended

>>175004020
Beat the campaign on realistic
