General thoughts how to#

Knowing when to use which special action is important. You can't really accomplish anything on your own. Generally you feel useless playing as MCH. You tend to forget they're there but their limit break meter generation is pretty good.

Decent damage and can take a hit but their real value is in inflicting hysteria (forced CC ignores guard which can lead to devastating combos). If carefully pulled off, a good Zantetsuken CAN turn the tide but it tended not to do anything but upset an individual player in my games. Kuzushi is very annoying but honestly, it's usually your own fault if you get instantly killed by Zantetsuken after hitting them and getting the debuff. Their ability to bind, stun, and gap close often makes them scary for picking off targets. Kinda reminds me of pre-nerf dead ringer spy in TF2.Īnnoying, but only two things of note. They can take advantage of the chaos of frontline. Getting resets with Seiton Tenchu to instantly kill a player below 50% HP along with the utility at their disposal makes them a big threat, and once their battle high level gets high enough they are VERY hard to kill and become very dangerous. Knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each class benefits them greatly. Elusive Jump makes them very annoying to finish off.Ī good Ninja will always be flying around the map with maxed out battle high. If they DO know what they're doing, you'll remember. If they don't know what they're doing you tend to forget they're even there. Can change the tide of fights with properly timed Sky Shatters. Almost essential on OH, very annoying in fields of glory (more later).Ĭan accomplish a lot with precise timing. Very durable and benefit from venturing off on your own for picks and taking points. I'm sure they're useful with coordination, but in chaotic settings you could probably accomplish more by playing a class more dedicated to a specific role. They feel like a melee DPS without the actual kill threat. Throughout all my games I'm still not entirely sure what they do. I'm sorry but I generally ignore their existence. Undeath is countered by DOT and MCH Wildfire. Reducing healing with Shadowbringer is OK but you tend not to really notice it unless you're already in a situation where you put yourself in a bad position. Salted Earth can be useful because of the pull-in effect but it tends not to accomplish much. Disabling guard can be a problem but I rarely saw it be a game changer.

On the other hand, frontline can be pretty chaotic compared to 5v5 so even pulling a target may not always guarantee a kill. Understandably hard to kill, but also have a good amount of utility with their AOE stun and their ability to pick off single targets. However, they're a SEVERE problem in Onsal Hakair (I'll get into that later.) I've seen teams legitimately lose because they focused too much on a single Paladin being a nuisance. Generally unremarkable, and exist to waste time by distracting players for extended periods of time. This will be a summary of my personal experiences playing these matches, so it may not line up with everyone else's (and I want to emphasize that that's okay and I'm even curious to see what you all think!): It varies wildly depending on the game mode, though some classes will generally see a lot more use than others. My response was this (this is going to be a 2 part post).

Hi there! I'm kinda new to posting on Reddit, so please bear with me here.
