Its crazy that people think hes gonna get a nerf lmao, his entire kit is to build up to the instakill, if that gets nerfed he'll be one of the worst heroes in the game lmao
I think it’s sick at, but I can’t lie, I can see them nerfing the damage and buffing the rest of his damage to kind of flatten it out if that makes sense. Don’t want them to do that because I think it’d be way more boring.
I think it's really cool they're trying to make heroes centered around new "mechanics" like this, if they nerfed his instakill and buffed his normals then he would be just like any generic release. this brings a smell of fresh air to the game, hopefully they'll make more heroes like this
In the few hours that I’ve played the new character I can tell he’s not as strong as the community had thought. not being able to chain your lights and heavies makes him very predictable and is heavy having extremely slow wind up and no hyper armour make it so that he can be lighted out of any heavy attack. I hope that he has looked into further and possibly given some quality of life changes. But as of right now, I’m gonna get them to rep one and then I’m done playing with them
The only reason people said that he would be strong af is because they saw the 95 DMG move, but in practice is not that easy to get all the stacks + he slow as hell Imo he needs some buffs but he's really fun hero to play
From my experience after playing a character that I really have to focus on made realize all the little annoyances I’ve subconsciously ignored in this game whilst turning my brain off. Now that my brain is turned on I lowkey hate this game. I’m going to still play lol
Ubisoft doesnt consider less than 150 ping as lagging so we'll never get a system that detects network manipulation to stop the high ping warriors unfortunately
dude valk is allowed to deal so much damage light spamming and people think this character is gonna be broken. he has to fish for GB and land the attack. he’s got a pretty similar play style to lawbringer now that i think about it that’s probably why they did the worst buff ever to lawbringer.
Always will be my favorite for honor TH-camr I still got the red eye black yoshi emblem but I barely play anymore still cool to see ypu going crazy on this game
Look at this new hero it reminds me of old Jorm. You're just working towards that max punish instead of playing the game. I'm starting to realize maybe all of Jorms changes were valid.
@@Alyrael absolutely everything? his damage output is absolutely trash and he is way to reliant on the one shot which is easy to counter if ur good at the game. Any good player will counter gb, any good player will also dodge the one shot because its also REALLY easy to dodge it. His entire kit NEEDS a buff, for a heavy his damage output is HORRIBLE
@@ixavdacityIt's horrible for the sake of balance. He just needs more versatile chains, his damage is fine. I like that they made a hero that actually stands out from the rest.
@@ixavdacityhe doesn’t need more damage tbh, you should be perfectly fine with having to hit people just that much more if you have the capability to hit them with 95dmg off a punish
I personally think he need a slight buff in his opening heavy’s and zone speed. Entirely too slow for most and both are super readable. I understand heavy’s being readable but the zone is ridiculously obvious if you’re gonna throw it or not. Just my humble opinion. I’m only diamond ranked so it’ll probably be diff for higher tier players. 🤷🏾♂️ what yall think?!?
Your gbs should always be the heavy one because the lights are so much easier to land his heavies are extremely slow so I'd start with them then anything else can be be a light finisher & get u the souls u need. But I'm not an expert player I honestly watch for tips to be better
I havnt played this game since december 2022. Would this game be worth getting back into? This is the first time ive seen gameplay since ive played honestly.
Worried about this dude tbh but will wait to see how he does in the community. Played him a bit already and i think his kit makes him inherently predictable. If you cant pull off the 1hitTKO cause your opponent is watching for it he will struggle to take down other characters with his low damage
Not having a heavy/light or light/heavy chain kinda hurts, I feel besides that they should up the damage of his light finishers and parry riposte from 6 to 8 or 9, 6 damage is just way to low I feel, some heavy attacks chip for the same or more than that depending on the setup
I’m genuinely surprised, I won’t lie I was in the group of players that were convinced he was gonna be OP but after a while of using him in duels and doms he really isn’t what I thought he was going to be. I honestly think when I saw that big 95 damage I was convinced he was going to be S tier but honestly he feels very balanced if anything on the lower side of balanced but he’s not outright trash but he’s not astounding either. I enjoy how he plays and though he can be rather predictable without a light, heavy or heavy, light chain and even though his heavies don’t get no hyper armor and majorly of the time I find myself getting lighted out of them he does seem pretty fun to play and he does seem like a breath of fresh air the devs did good with him imho. Now changes wise I think he should be left as is, that 95 damage is a good trade off for the below average kit but if they do change it they will likely just lower that 95 and bring up all the other Dmg and make something faster or give him hyper armor so he’s going to end up like any other generic character 🤷♂️
Anyone else experiencing the Huntsman’s glitch? I play ocelotl a lot. Today during a breach match I got killed, but I came back as a ghost,But the difference was I was able to attack and deal damage to opponents. You can’t go into guard mode. I hope it’s a glitch that can be fixed.
Funniest part about it is that weapon is on Naraka Bladepoint the one dude can turn into a general with his ULT and had this same spear like weapon and on that game he had the same Skewer move that would one shot and now it’s on for honor doing the same shit 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So in order to stack u must use the weapons on his back but when do u use the weapons?.. after a command grab?… and also one once lit for the one shot ?
Yes, each weapon represents a light and heavy atk for each side, a gb gives you all three of the light or heavy depending on your input and once you have all 6 you get the insta kill
in duels its not as big of a problem because the character relies on it for damage. however... I can reliably say at the level of competative I currently am at. that I can still reliably get attacks in rather easily. You would not beleive how easy it is to feint a heavy or just throw the light chains, then immediately go into the heavy out of nowhere and people fall for it hoping for a light parry. This character's greatest strength is feint into guardbreaks. Most people. at least right now, rely heavily on flinch dodge attacking the unblockable indicators. All you need is 2 guardbreaks and you have access to the move that can instantly kill his opponents. Again, once people realize letting his unblockables hit you is more worth it than risking him getting free buildup on his chains for the bash 95, the more clear it will be that he is managable in duels. As it comes to dominion though? Nah man. he's a walking nightmare. 2 guardbreaks is all he needs. with focus on teamates being easy to deal with, all he has to do is get 2 guardbreaks to get that massive spike. and let me tell you. after fighting off 2 people. winning that fight, and having 60% of your health left to instantly be killed by him as he shows up on the spot... thats, going to need some tweaking. Only major thing i'd say is, have it overtime degrade the souls so he doesn't more or less have a revenge mode stack just sitting on his body to just wander in and instakill someone after he's healed to full health somewhere else. and remove the guardbreak 3 hit light soul buildup. leave the heavy one of course, but the lights are far easier to get off than the heavy attacks. at least give them some needed effort to earn it than 2 guardbreaks then KO. If you have a teammate that is competent enough to know how to stunlock you in place. then his attack is always more or less guaranteed. He's a hero that manages ok on his own due to his high health pool allowing him to manage the trading in duels. but full and foremost, he is The banked instant kill on the team. If he has a teammate fighting you alongside him, more than likely you are going to die. as that bash is rather easy to pull off with it's speed once you are distracted for even half a second. and his guardbreak is fully designed of course to give him an advantage, but also hold you in place for his teammates to get just 2 heavies needed to make that bash stab an easy win. or at least a tool to help you instantly kill any opposition that wanders in after.
He's absolutely trash in 4s against anyone with a brain. He can't anti gank because he can't do damage for shit. I have yet to play more than 3 games where a sohei went positive in my lobbies. Its just way to easy to just block and wait for the gb and then interrupt the slow ass light start up. In a gank he is good if he has his souls but geeting them mid gang is a fruitless effort. Character is definitely F tier rn. He needs a rework and its been 1 day
@@6ix782 honestly if they made it to be light -> heavy or vice versa without having to keep doing zone would make him soooooooo much more viable in 4s since he is locked into light light or heavy heavy and people who know what they are doing with turtle way too good to do anything even the bash is slow and everyone just pokes you out of everything so he can ONLY 1v1 at the moment nothing more.
his f tier in dominion. duals is forsure high tier but man not being able to go light -> heavy makes it really hard to do anything, the first heavy comes out super slow so you get poked out of it and even if you faint it to gb it only works less than 50% of the time. the light light works fine but having to keep using zone over n over to mix it up yet the zone has no threat since its not unblockable so it only works half the time as well since every one does a dodge attack they get away for free, honestly he is too much work just to build his 95 dmg move, if you think getting gbs are easy in 4v4's then you must always get good teammates that dont knock you out of it or get ganked by more than 1 person.
@@xsvenny2495 I mean, yeah, if you play with randoms that don't hold back or you know, don't communicate with people that you're going to do it, he is going to get obliterated by his own teammates or enemies. your teammates can actively interrupt your stab as well, and if they interrupt it at the right moment, it removes the souls. This is the common situation with any attack that stuns for a duration and then deals a chunk of damage though, shaman, shoulin, valkrie trips etc. As it goes from light into heavy, it took me a moment to adjust as well, i was a bit confused and frustrated, but once I realized that hyperarmor zone counts as a heavy attack, it started clicking with me. Its a hyperarmor heavy, that can be softfeinted into a guardbreak that can give you 3 hits towards your 95 stab, this on demand attack due to the lights having uninterruptable chain on blocks, forces your opponent to guess on if you're going to go into the guardbreak or let it fly. He is entirely designed to fearmonger the feint into guardbreak. this one move gives you 3 options. let it fly with hyperarmor and hit multiple opponents around you at the damage of a heavy attack while also potentially getting an execution, softfeint guardbreak to get the three hits on half the 95 attack buildup, or, hard feint when they try to counter both methods with a dodge attack or fullblock retaliation. at the same time if your opponent is turtling you can feint it into a forward dash that gives either the light start chain or heavy start chain. He takes a bit of dexterity to access his full kit. And may lord have mercy on you for having to play the game with people who parry lights frequently. I only run into those every now and then. but I still manage with a bit more effort.
Sohei is like a version of the Warden. Same low kit variety, but more combos complex to get your atom bomb. Cool looking character, but hard to get that bomb. Also, I'd want his voice to be deeper; sounds too much like an anime protag.
i really love his high risk high reward play style. really low damage for a heavy and you gotta fish for those GBs. i think he’ll probably sit in mid tier for high level play. casuals will probably lose to him a lot tho.
Can someone please tell Ubisoft that Warden's hero skin, the first one we got, the armor's messed up on the waist I have no way of doing it myself. I'm on PS5. thank you!
i think balancing him is very easy tbh. if you just dial his damage back to like 70 it’ll still be scary but not insane and I think his base damage is fine for how gimmicky and fun he can be edit: aii bro i get it 😭 ion think he necessarily needs any crazy nerfing my point is that 95 damage off of a bash becomes very annoying to deal with especially in 4v4s. if anything i js think it should be slightly altered so its more so a ganking tool cs you don’t even see it in 1s or 2s for the most part but yall lmk what you think
@SoulsProexactly been playing him all the way up to rep 1 and it’s definitely not as easy to pull off you gotta really focus on what your pressing and not mess up since you can get punished if you whiff it can’t get too desperate to land it plus his damage is already low as it is compared to other characters he’s balanced he doesn’t need a nerf and he’s definitely not as easy to play you can’t just pick him up and mash light and heavies he is more strategical if anything and that’s good
Yeah he is fine, he actually hard to play, you have to focus and get fake outs, he is easy to parry, really have to take your time and dial in with this character. But now they brought this in they need to let big Sho his death hug again
I think if they gave the new hero a light heavy combo, up his dmg a little and make his special attack deal 35dmg treating it more like shamans bite would balance him pretty well.
35 damage is way too low for how long it takes to build up, shamans bite is one bleed attack and a lunge, his instakill takes long to get to especially in 4v4, I have so far only gone negative in dominion while playing him all day. I think nerf it to 80 and then give him light heavy mixups, and he’ll be set, only being able to light light or heavy heavy is bad imo. It limits his moveset by a lot, I tried to get used to it but every other character has mixups. It’s like when conqueror couldn’t feint his heavies, then they allow him to now so that it’s smooth. If they ever think to drop the damage down to 35 or 40 then they should make his special attack take only one guard break in order to set it up. Because doing all that work has to have a big payout. You pay for what you get
@@MasterGhostyGames I get ya. The only reason I suggest the special do 35 was bc of giving increase dmg to his attacks and having the light heavy combo or heavy light combo which would let him build up souls easier.
u couldve beat that first valk if u learned from ur mistakes, every time u side dodged on reaction of her full gaurd you got punished. gb or bash on reaction. mix it up
You know what i was originally on the wall with this hero but the more ive been playing the more i dont want his shit too get nerfed He is built around that instakill move hes like a game of Russian roulette in a sense except with him you can see the bullets in the chamber (souls) If yall have an issue with him A) delete the game B) quit you're bitchen C) Get good D) OR MAYBE LEARN THE CHARACTER
he does have an infinite chain, you do light or heavy then do zone into light or heavy, you can do that over n over but no one ever does more than 1 loop of it since its super predictable and not that threatening to deal with
@@xsvenny2495 I know that I was saying that I wish his combos were more using the other weapons in a sequence instead of having a whole intermission with that slow ass spear swing in between attacks
sohei has NO anti gank AT ALL in dominion, cant do light into heavy or vice versa so mix ups are slim to none, the zone has no threat since its not unblockable so it only works on people who moves alot or likes to parry but 4v4 is the worst with him, i wish it didnt take 10 years to load into a 1v1 or 2v2 and gave more xp then i wouldnt rip my hair out forcably playing dominion to lvl him up.
@@DiegoRamos-zm1nn I think what they’re trying to say is that they want a hero wielding a sickle or a scythe, which would be cool, but those are farming tools
This guy is only good in duels or brawls not for dom his kit is not that great for ganking at all with his slow heavy and not being able to chain it with any attack
@@Xiu83 he IS hard to play. His damage is trash and he is WAY to reliant on one single ability which is the one shot. And getting the one shot can also be painful to even obtain because every good player KNOWS how to counter gb and they WONT let u get the gbs off. His entire kit is in desperate need of a buff
The problem i see to sohei are they heavies, te don't represent a real treath except maybe forcthe up guard cuz, the most probably they gonna do break guard, so simply don't try to parry his second heavy and is ready(apart if they try to do the heavy from a side gonna be best eat the attack, cuz they gonna charge just a soul instead of 3)
Vale soy idiota, no me di cuenta que sus segundos ataques pesados son imbloqueables, pero mi punto aún se mantiene,es mejor que cargue una alma que tres
They are gonna nerf it but I think if you get ALL your stacks if you miss an initial bash you should at least lose 2 stacks as a way to balance him out there should be a down side if he is allowed such an op move
Definitely a boring a character he's unique yh but guess what once you get all your stacks just be patient wait for a parry or a gb then boom you win he'll be nerfed in a month or so of launch it promotes the patient gameplay style which no one likes literally stand wait for an attack I've had one game we're my opponent refused to attack until he could parry that's all he did it's so boring like this character but I'm glad your having fun with the character he's not op until he gets his stacks and there not really hard to get just play passive simple you win 🤣
its a lot harder than you think, in 1v1 sure if the opponent likes to parry or dodge alot but in 4v4's and against players that know what they are doing you wont be getting the one shot hardly ever ina match and even if you do you're most likely going to be at low health and die trying to get it off.
@xsvenny2495 yea especially since his dmg is so bad any player is Gonn fight him defensively and just block everything since he doesn't have hyper armor on anything if I'm playing against him I'm not throwing anything that can give a guarantee gb in any way
@@dillonsparks115 exactly, the only thing that has hyper armor is his zone when used after a light or heavy, but it isnt unblockable so you have no reason to try to parry it and just wait for the gb. he definitely needs atleast a change to his zone or make it so he can do light -> heavy without having to rely on the zone 90% of the time to do chain attacks that lead to almost nothing. only light light works most of the time
saw the first fight and now im ready too dont play the gaem untill it dont makes taht much damage its kinda unfair too every other class and its a kick so conquer or other fullgards cant even block it lokks like lot of bullshit but the ubisoft logo looks kinda poop from up so i dont know
Gotta be one of the worst takes i've seen. I'm happy these devs seem passionate and are still working hard at making new content and promo material for an old Ubisoft game. It's one of the best games of its kind and I think the devs are awesome, certainly not "lazy". You're also the only person who thinks this character plays like Ocelot so honestly thats really a you problem and not a reflection of the team
Honestly is the most boring character. I would much prefer him using shigoki weapon in a different way with dual saw edge katanas for bleeding with his main weapon and the back square into a spin attack to the other weapon. Doing the gb all game is not it.
Long time for honor player...it needs to be nerfed when youre in domion getting ganked its really fucking annoying...in needs to be nerfed to atleat half of your hp...shouldn't be a one shot unless youre at or below half hp...its really broken.
Sorry Kenzo, but this is NOT the hero for you. The amount of times you could have gotten your souls by heavying instead of lights when you GB'd someone, or just switched which heavy or light you could have thrown was INFURIATING.

his f tier in dominion. duals is forsure high tier but man not being able to go light -> heavy makes it really hard to do anything, the first heavy comes out super slow so you get poked out of it and even if you faint it to gb it only works less than 50% of the time. the light light works fine but having to keep using zone over n over to mix it up yet the zone has no threat since its not unblockable so it only works half the time as well since every one does a dodge attack they get away for free, honestly he is too much work just to build his 95 dmg move, if you think getting gbs are easy in 4v4's then you must always get good teammates that dont knock you out of it or get ganked by more than 1 person.
@@xsvenny2495 I mean, yeah, if you play with randoms that don't hold back or you know, don't communicate with people that you're going to do it, he is going to get obliterated by his own teammates or enemies. your teammates can actively interrupt your stab as well, and if they interrupt it at the right moment, it removes the souls. This is the common situation with any attack that stuns for a duration and then deals a chunk of damage though, shaman, shoulin, valkrie trips etc.
As it goes from light into heavy, it took me a moment to adjust as well, i was a bit confused and frustrated, but once I realized that hyperarmor zone counts as a heavy attack, it started clicking with me. Its a hyperarmor heavy, that can be softfeinted into a guardbreak that can give you 3 hits towards your 95 stab, this on demand attack due to the lights having uninterruptable chain on blocks, forces your opponent to guess on if you're going to go into the guardbreak or let it fly. He is entirely designed to fearmonger the feint into guardbreak. this one move gives you 3 options. let it fly with hyperarmor and hit multiple opponents around you at the damage of a heavy attack while also potentially getting an execution, softfeint guardbreak to get the three hits on half the 95 attack buildup, or, hard feint when they try to counter both methods with a dodge attack or fullblock retaliation. at the same time if your opponent is turtling you can feint it into a forward dash that gives either the light start chain or heavy start chain. He takes a bit of dexterity to access his full kit.
And may lord have mercy on you for having to play the game with people who parry lights frequently. I only run into those every now and then. but I still manage with a bit more effort.
this character is everything i loved about old jorm
And probably the reason he’s not gonna last like old jorm, he’s too reliant on his one punish and that’s it
Getting satisfaction from an OP attack. Good for you.
Sohei is like a version of the Warden. Same low kit variety, but more combos complex to get your atom bomb.
Cool looking character, but hard to get that bomb. Also, I'd want his voice to be deeper; sounds too much like an anime protag.
This is not punish anymore it's the wrath of God 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
i really love his high risk high reward play style. really low damage for a heavy and you gotta fish for those GBs. i think he’ll probably sit in mid tier for high level play. casuals will probably lose to him a lot tho.
in duals he is up their on the tier list but in dominion he is f tier, if you played him enough times in dominion you'll know why i say that
@@xsvenny2495 ik but duels he’s still mid tier bcz his damage sucks and he gets overwhelmed by chain pressure
@@rage_tv4493 yeah true
I can already see this character getting a rework. It's giving me old Jorm vibes where all you have is your gimmick move.
I was thinking that exact same thing
Sohei and old jorm have the exact same playstyle
Bro I can’t wait to get this character
Fighting the saame dude after finishing him completely istg 💀
He's too slow and ineffective, I feel. Needs at least a little hyper armor or some, he's kinda ass too me.
Man kenzo promise me you’ll stay safe ? This world getting worse and worse
Can someone please tell Ubisoft that Warden's hero skin, the first one we got, the armor's messed up on the waist I have no way of doing it myself. I'm on PS5. thank you!
why dont you do it yourself? no hate just wondering
Wait, you get a heavy off of heavy parries?
they said its a bug rn and will get fixed
@joaquinmendoza8754 why its only 18 or 20 dmg
@@br2nd his damage is 25% less overall than all the other hero to compensate for the 95 dmg move
he looks so badass i like it
nasty work
Heihachi??😟
nothing like a 95 damage bash attack
Ngl he reminds me of vanilla goki and highlander just really bad
Can we bring back death hug goki at least?
i think balancing him is very easy tbh. if you just dial his damage back to like 70 it’ll still be scary but not insane and I think his base damage is fine for how gimmicky and fun he can be
edit: aii bro i get it 😭 ion think he necessarily needs any crazy nerfing my point is that 95 damage off of a bash becomes very annoying to deal with especially in 4v4s. if anything i js think it should be slightly altered so its more so a ganking tool cs you don’t even see it in 1s or 2s for the most part but yall lmk what you think
I dont think he needs nerf
@SoulsProexactly been playing him all the way up to rep 1 and it’s definitely not as easy to pull off you gotta really focus on what your pressing and not mess up since you can get punished if you whiff it can’t get too desperate to land it plus his damage is already low as it is compared to other characters he’s balanced he doesn’t need a nerf and he’s definitely not as easy to play you can’t just pick him up and mash light and heavies he is more strategical if anything and that’s good
He doesnt need nerfs
Yeah he is fine, he actually hard to play, you have to focus and get fake outs, he is easy to parry, really have to take your time and dial in with this character. But now they brought this in they need to let big Sho his death hug again
@@davelledraper4976no way bro if they do i am quitting
VonRueden Lakes
I think if they gave the new hero a light heavy combo, up his dmg a little and make his special attack deal 35dmg treating it more like shamans bite would balance him pretty well.
35 damage is way too low for how long it takes to build up, shamans bite is one bleed attack and a lunge, his instakill takes long to get to especially in 4v4, I have so far only gone negative in dominion while playing him all day. I think nerf it to 80 and then give him light heavy mixups, and he’ll be set, only being able to light light or heavy heavy is bad imo. It limits his moveset by a lot, I tried to get used to it but every other character has mixups. It’s like when conqueror couldn’t feint his heavies, then they allow him to now so that it’s smooth. If they ever think to drop the damage down to 35 or 40 then they should make his special attack take only one guard break in order to set it up. Because doing all that work has to have a big payout. You pay for what you get
@@MasterGhostyGames I get ya. The only reason I suggest the special do 35 was bc of giving increase dmg to his attacks and having the light heavy combo or heavy light combo which would let him build up souls easier.
Zanny is not going to like this update 💀
he’s pretty weak outside of the 95 dmg attack which is what is as afraid of
u couldve beat that first valk if u learned from ur mistakes, every time u side dodged on reaction of her full gaurd you got punished. gb or bash on reaction. mix it up
You know what i was originally on the wall with this hero but the more ive been playing the more i dont want his shit too get nerfed He is built around that instakill move hes like a game of Russian roulette in a sense except with him you can see the bullets in the chamber (souls) If yall have an issue with him
A) delete the game
B) quit you're bitchen
C) Get good
D) OR MAYBE LEARN THE CHARACTER
MORE BLADES!!!!
Idk he's not bad maybe a c or b teir character tbh
Wish he was a real weapons master with an effective alternating infinite chain or something like that instead of whatever this is
he does have an infinite chain, you do light or heavy then do zone into light or heavy, you can do that over n over but no one ever does more than 1 loop of it since its super predictable and not that threatening to deal with
@@xsvenny2495 I know that I was saying that I wish his combos were more using the other weapons in a sequence instead of having a whole intermission with that slow ass spear swing in between attacks
@@michaelpierce5343 yeah i get you, the only time he uses different weapons is for a light or heavy finisher on different directions
Enjoy before that nerf.
He will get buff not nerf 😂
Bro he is weak af
@@Micha-ds5vy I'm talking about the 95damage it will get nerfed probably.
@@Miistrra No because his DMG is trash, he need to have one good attack xD
If they nerf this 95 Bash DMG they need to buffs his every other attack xD
sohei has NO anti gank AT ALL in dominion, cant do light into heavy or vice versa so mix ups are slim to none, the zone has no threat since its not unblockable so it only works on people who moves alot or likes to parry but 4v4 is the worst with him, i wish it didnt take 10 years to load into a 1v1 or 2v2 and gave more xp then i wouldnt rip my hair out forcably playing dominion to lvl him up.
Benkeeeei
I dont get why his light heavy weapon are not left right, white n black
Why black white it confuses my head
Reading all these comments about nerfing him and I cant help but wonder when games dtopped being about having fun.
It's so crazy
Bro to be honest this hero is balance 😅
I love the konzept of the new Hero, but I would love to see something like the Death, like a reaper
The death isn’t a warrior in history
You delusional?
@@DiegoRamos-zm1nn I think what they’re trying to say is that they want a hero wielding a sickle or a scythe, which would be cool, but those are farming tools
@@beaneyguy3815 yess, a scythe, i forgot what it was called, english isnt my native language.
@@DiegoRamos-zm1nn sorry for just imagening a cool looking concept
For me is enough ubisoft for my entire life
This guy is only good in duels or brawls not for dom his kit is not that great for ganking at all with his slow heavy and not being able to chain it with any attack
Its time, I can't wait to play him 😂
Two guard breaks a parry and you're dead 😂😂😂😂
He is really hard to play if he gets nerfed he is going to be unplayable cus he would be to bad
@@dino-un9ru he's not hard to play, learn how to fight
@@Xiu83have you played him?
@@dino-un9ru my apologies, I shouldn't have snapped on you like that, I'm excited xD
@@Xiu83 he IS hard to play. His damage is trash and he is WAY to reliant on one single ability which is the one shot. And getting the one shot can also be painful to even obtain because every good player KNOWS how to counter gb and they WONT let u get the gbs off. His entire kit is in desperate need of a buff
It's funny how he's lowkey ass in 4s
The problem i see to sohei are they heavies, te don't represent a real treath except maybe forcthe up guard cuz, the most probably they gonna do break guard, so simply don't try to parry his second heavy and is ready(apart if they try to do the heavy from a side gonna be best eat the attack, cuz they gonna charge just a soul instead of 3)
Vale soy idiota, no me di cuenta que sus segundos ataques pesados son imbloqueables, pero mi punto aún se mantiene,es mejor que cargue una alma que tres
How fkin tall is this character wtf?
Taller than shugo
Biggest in game
Theres a 95 damage parry punish thats fucking insane
They are gonna nerf it but I think if you get ALL your stacks if you miss an initial bash you should at least lose 2 stacks as a way to balance him out there should be a down side if he is allowed such an op move
So he’s a beast in 4v4 but not so great in duels. Waiting for the next one
nah if the new hero misses the one shot grab the stacks should disappear
No
Hes ight definitely a mid Hero
Take Shugoki insta kill away to give it to him is crazy
Yo! 95 damage is just nasty! But this is For Honor, so everything is filthy.
95 damage is insane, and it’s not even that difficult to get all the souls
Definitely a boring a character he's unique yh but guess what once you get all your stacks just be patient wait for a parry or a gb then boom you win he'll be nerfed in a month or so of launch it promotes the patient gameplay style which no one likes literally stand wait for an attack I've had one game we're my opponent refused to attack until he could parry that's all he did it's so boring like this character but I'm glad your having fun with the character he's not op until he gets his stacks and there not really hard to get just play passive simple you win 🤣
bro wtf.. im done playing this game.
first ong
this hero seams both terrible and also unfun to play against at the same time, very impressive keep it up ubi
First🤝🏾
All you need it two guard breaks and you get a chance at insta kill. Kinda lame tbh
its a lot harder than you think, in 1v1 sure if the opponent likes to parry or dodge alot but in 4v4's and against players that know what they are doing you wont be getting the one shot hardly ever ina match and even if you do you're most likely going to be at low health and die trying to get it off.
@xsvenny2495 yea especially since his dmg is so bad any player is Gonn fight him defensively and just block everything since he doesn't have hyper armor on anything if I'm playing against him I'm not throwing anything that can give a guarantee gb in any way
@@dillonsparks115 exactly, the only thing that has hyper armor is his zone when used after a light or heavy, but it isnt unblockable so you have no reason to try to parry it and just wait for the gb. he definitely needs atleast a change to his zone or make it so he can do light -> heavy without having to rely on the zone 90% of the time to do chain attacks that lead to almost nothing. only light light works most of the time
saw the first fight and now im ready too dont play the gaem untill it dont makes taht much damage its kinda unfair too every other class and its a kick so conquer or other fullgards cant even block it lokks like lot of bullshit but the ubisoft logo looks kinda poop from up so i dont know
Dude in 4s he is so weak it is insane. Takes forever to build up and the rest of his dmg and kit is so limited and low he is a joke.
What lazy developers just a reskin of ocelot
Gotta be one of the worst takes i've seen. I'm happy these devs seem passionate and are still working hard at making new content and promo material for an old Ubisoft game. It's one of the best games of its kind and I think the devs are awesome, certainly not "lazy". You're also the only person who thinks this character plays like Ocelot so honestly thats really a you problem and not a reflection of the team
@@CCriddy50 too bad they couldn’t fix the actual game guess that’s why it’s 2 stars in the store. Stop livin your life as a yes man
This games still going ? It still getting characters ? Wow haven’t played in like 3-4 years.
the hero sucks it’s repedative working toward only one action to win and all the while stomping grunting chopping. boring
Honestly is the most boring character. I would much prefer him using shigoki weapon in a different way with dual saw edge katanas for bleeding with his main weapon and the back square into a spin attack to the other weapon. Doing the gb all game is not it.
Long time for honor player...it needs to be nerfed when youre in domion getting ganked its really fucking annoying...in needs to be nerfed to atleat half of your hp...shouldn't be a one shot unless youre at or below half hp...its really broken.
Can’t wait for till they nerf this character I’m gonna love it and so you are Kenzo . Enjoy that 95 while it last 😊
You know they will give him buff not nerf 😂
Sorry Kenzo, but this is NOT the hero for you. The amount of times you could have gotten your souls by heavying instead of lights when you GB'd someone, or just switched which heavy or light you could have thrown was INFURIATING.
its day 1 relax
Such an elitist weird nerd comment, the hero is literally brand new. "This is NOT the hero for you"... Smelliest comment
I think the game is trying to kill itself. 👎🏻
I mean, people almost universally think the character is really cool. Not sure how that's equivalent to suicide.
