Goofy face emblems are the best.



Another Valk problem; her emblem is on her shoulder instead of the shield. How can you miss such an obvious placement for it?

The thing is that making them stamina starved doesn't really do anything. Even when they're out of stamina they can block, parry and dodge your slow attacks, charges and long arm.

I'm sorry but you're just wrong here. Being out of stamina sucks and makes you very vulnerable.

Not saying the fix to her is to give her more bleeds.

She actually did have bleed in one of the Tech Tests.

She still has a bleed. It just requires you to pull off an impossible deflect. So she basically doesn't have one.

Fun fact: This can be blocked. I'm not sure how, but I actually managed to land the deflect and strong attack combo and the guy blocked it anyways.

Its a fun way to gently caress around but its easily the least serious and balanced format. But the salt that flows from it is immense. I dunno why people select 4v4 if they want 1v1 honor duels.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Well valkyrie dodge counter isn't the best, but turns out you can option select it so that's handy. Dodge and hit light and heavy attack at same time, if you got the counter goes right into bleed attack, if you missed the window but still dodged you go into the dodge-light attack.

Being out of stamina sucks but it doesn't make you as vulnerable as you'd expect. You can still defend almost as effectively as with stamina. It only really stops you from being offensive. Lawbringer is still so slow that he can't really capitalise on the enemy being out of stamina unless the enemy is bad. A good player is just going to tech your GB every time stamina or not.

Not if you properly feint into a guardbreak. Yeah, good players are gonna counter the gimmies every time, and you eventually have to get smart with how you work in attacks.

Something to be aware of if you're streaming this game, if someone recognizes you they can potentially work out what your public facing IP is if you're in the same game. For that matter so could some butt hurt rear end in a top hat who just so happens to really hold a grudge.

Yeah I think I'm done with Valk until she either gets changed or someone posts some amazing video that enlightens me on how to combo with her. Every time I try her I can't do any damage because she can't combo off her disruptions and when I try to chain my light attacks I get blocked or worse, parried. Its frustrating.

Yeah but feinting doesn't guarantee a GB. You can catch people out sometimes but for the most part as Lawbringer your successes rely on the enemy loving up, not you doing something well :ohdear:

You get blue gear drops after you prestige and it starts at level 7. Epics maybe 2/3? Not sure. I don't think there's really any tips for feinting other than just practice. You gotta hit it almost straight away after the heavy :shobon:

Fair, that might be true for Lawbringer, but Warden at least has some really nasty mixups to get a good guardbreak in (particularly, his dash->hit->dash->feint->gb combo). I'm sure most other characters have tricky ways to get them in as well.

Probably isn't a lot available at the moment, but also watching youtubes or streams/vods of other good players playing to figure out how they use feints to get into the heads of people. A lot of the better players explain why they are doing things as they do them as well.

Oh for sure I've had a guy quit after I 50/50'd them to death from full HP. A good warden is almost unstoppable.

It really has nothing to do with playing perfectly, and I said nothing about that anyway. Unless you have a particularly bad round, exhaustion is not that bad. Yeah, you're right, SOMETIMES you get caught out or aren't quick enough. This doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of the time you can work around it without much trouble. I get that having thick skulls makes this difficult to understand, but something happening sometimes doesn't make it particularly relevant.

Man you are trying way too hard to be an edgelord and you're just coming off as a moronic jackass. No one thinks you're clever for attaching unfunny insults to each of your posts. Don't speak in stupid absolutes if you don't want to get called out; there are obviously situations where someone can seriously punish you if you're stamina is drained.

I was playing just fine yesterday and earlier today, but suddenly the game takes forever to start, and when it does, it freezes for like 30 seconds to a minute at a time. I'd blame it on updating my nvidia drivers, but I played just fine for awhile after installing them before this problem cropped up.

Yeah as she stands, as someone who plays kensei/raider/nobushi mostly in the beta, valk has to work twice as hard as everyone else for the same results. The expanded repertoire is nice and all but damage too low, stam costs too high.

the only situations where being out of stamina matters is when you are on the offense while starved for stamina, which, surprise, you should not do, not least of all because defense is massively favored to offense.
