Guard break no. Attack only if his hyper armor is down. I actually got insta killed by the back breaker because even though he started the attack at half health, my heavy took him down to almost nothing but didn't phase him due to his hyperarmor. They really should change it to only work if you START the attack in the red zone.

What does this fantasy effect mythic armor look like, I thought they were going for a sort of realistic aesthetic, not flaming wings and crackling electricity armor.

I tried googling, but all it returned was world of warcraft.

You can actually model your character in all the outfits in the customization menu, even if you don't have them unlocked. Just click on them in the appropriate tab.

But the short answer would be "not great" in my opinion. They're your typical over-elaborate dlc suits that people buy to look big and tough right out of the gate.

Thanks to the magic of ~gear stats~ you can engineer builds that reliably and frequently pop revenge even when fighting a single combatant. It's usually a weaker revenge in some way but you get the health and poise no matter what so it's still hella broken.

Don't hate the player though, hate the game. Like seriously it's Ubisoft's fault.

The armor still looks like regular armor, there's just an effect applied to it, from what I can tell, when you execute someone? I saw a knight with the flaming wings thing and they activated when he executed me

There are idle, execution and emote versions of the armor effects I think, samurai can get cherry blossoms!

I'm loving this so far even though I suck rear end, been really enjoying playing shugoki. As others have said demon's embrace is really great if you can catch someone unawares with it.

Also dude has an execution where he sits on his opponent, I feel like that makes him the best character by default.

How do I stop the game doing the god drat "Territory Recap" screen every time I come back to the game after a few hours break? It's so annoying having to sit through it as it shows me faction warfare that I really don't give a poo poo about.

That's what I like about Valkyrie. It's only the first day but I imagine after lab ratting her for a week she won't be that difficult to know what situations you use what.

Weird, I've found it to be the complete opposite. Most level 3 bots are monsters, but the Lawbringer ones are utterly toothless.

It's kind of a shame, I really wanted to like poleaxe man but his moveset is just so slow and predictable. The only chain I can reliably get is GB -> Light and his hits are just so, so weak. Everything else is just parry fodder.

Can somebody who is good at the game tell me how you escape the conquerer vortex (shield bash into side attack indefinitely) as a warden if they're good enough to reflex tech every guard break

so far it seems if i ever get shield bashed i'm going to get hit until they run out of stamina

Parrying the attack or dodging the bash most likely. I only had it happen to me a couple of times, though I did it plenty to others, and nobody seemed to ever get out. I think those moves just need adjusted TBH. More recovery time after the shield bash or increasing the stamina cost. Really anything to take it down a notch. There isn't much of a response window once you're backed into a corner by it.

The first option is literally impossible (the post-bash attack comes faster than your recovery), the second should work in theory but is confounded by the incredible tracking of the move.

Something should really be adjusted about it.

Yeah, I suspected that was the case on the parry side. Other than, you know, the first attack, assuming they don't dodge into the bash to open up. The tracking on "charge" moves is indeed a problem. Probably the best place to start is removing that - makes dodging a legitimate counter to those moves in general, and it eliminates an "I win" combo. I freely admit that during open beta I went straight to this combo whenever someone pissed me off, and I did not lose those engagements. It's straight up bullshit.

For me it feels like the mechanics are set up for one style of gameplay (1v1 or 2v2 duels) while the actual gameplay is set up for another (4v4/dota-lite) and they clash real bad.

A pointless single player campaign that's only there as a check mark on the back of the box. 1v1/2v2 duels sounds like it would get old really fast when there isn't anything else to do. 4v4 just sounds like a poo poo show.

Siege was an ok game and a terrible Rainbow Six. It felt nothing like previous Rainbow games it had no single player content (that bullshit doesn't count). The multiplayer was alright but the settings made no sense. Why are national teams of spec ops fighting each other? I guess it's too spooky to have actual legitimate terrorist/hostage situations with bad guys so instead you're fighting anime-esque SWAT guys from Germany or wherever.
