It's such a fun game, IMO. This is like if Souls mixed with a fighting game, with every move requiring intent and there's always a counter for everything. Nidhogg had a somewhat similar philosophy with how to play mind games or go aggressive, but this is in 3D.Sorry to ask a question that's probably been asked a billion times but I just saw this is on sale on PSN and I've been looking for a new multiplayer game to play since I play so few of those. It's either this or Rocket League. If I like weighty, deliberate combat systems like Souls and Monster Hunter and something like Nidhogg, should I give this a go?
Rocket League and For Honor are all I play. They're like the best combo, fast flying cars and Vikings/Samurai/Knights showdown.
Patch 1.05 actually changed the Berserker super armor to 2 attacks, and those don't even have to land.Conq needs a big stamina reduction on his full block stance cancels. To make up for it (if necessary), the transition out of full block can be slower.
His light infinite should get uninterruptible status after four hits like the Beserker. Or better damage. Lights are only useful for going into short shoulder bash mixups right now. Conq mirror matches are also boring. Not sure what the solution is to that.
BERSERKER
Super Armor
Super Armor is now applied on all 2nd and later attacks in chains (used to be applied after 4th).
Note: Moveset page is not updated in this version.
Berserker no longer requires the preceding attack to hit or be blocked to count towards applying Super Armor.
Berserker no longer gets the Stamina cost reduction when Super Armor kicks in.
Developer comments: Berserkers identity is based on relentless attacking, but the requirement to land 4+ hits is too much in current competitive play. Putting the Super Armor buff on all of the 2nd attacks in the chains means that now Berserkers can access this reliably, and could be used to trade against reacting Shugokis and Warlords with their Super Armor. Weve removed the Stamina cost reduction to prevent the Berserker from using infinite chains for too long now that weve moved the Super Armor buff to 2 hits. Well keep an eye on that for further balancing.
