This games combat suffers.

[Cooprent]

The same issues towards balance/counterplay still exist even months later. parrying being useless in 90% of encounters(since focus can be charged/released whenever), spam being dumb effective and juggling in trios outright killing you with no way to fight back or auto grappling being extremely toxic/ccing offering no room for escape unless you play the invisible character which still might not make a difference unless playing solo's.

I Dont know how anyone can defend the combat with animation canceling and other cheese tactics. Its no better the for honor which also has dumb stance/animations which make it completely un-enjoyable.

Balance just isn't there with most engagements being decided with whoever gets an opening combo off to break Armour/most health leaving you 2 swings to death making it a guessing game to light attack to break the flow/collide attacks(which costs some health) or parrying if you can guess when they release said focus attack or charge your own focus to potentially be killed doing so or get grappled with no way to fight back against a grapple since it cc/free attack unless they miss.
and most fights that you win play out just like that with the enemy getting cucked because he couldn't guess/time the 1 of 4-5 ways to retaliate and being unable to escape without said character ability.

The performance is better tho.

Just really depends also on the gear you got... 3 ppl ganked me and I thought I was dead but they all wearing white armor and I had purple.. wut are they thinking?! I killed all of them solo.. lol

aint entirely wrong but pretty much one longsword/greatsword combo will bust purple in most cases even with white gear. plus obviously gems like melee def/attk/health having an effect.

but the rng isn't what bugs me its the stunlock/combo system itself being just bad offering very little room to actually play against said combos/focus attacks so once something lands thats it you can't just magically dodge or parry or deflect you are cc'd. starts charging focus attack you parry, oh but the 0.2 sec delay (not including latency/input lag) makes your parry pointless so boom focus attack lands and your dead. i've actually died deflecting with light attacks because my health was so low but it was my only option to retaliate to light spam since dodge wont work half the time with how quick/wide and auto locking the attacks are.

Spam the huge autoaim grapple on players to perma stun them with your team with 0 counter plays possible . That's pretty much the gameplay in this game .

Don't even try to parry unless you're really good when getting ganked... your best bet is to escape using those pool rope thingies.... I survived many close calls spamming that when I'm in trouble.

Or it was just bots.

The best part starts when you know that you can hold mouse button instead of instantly realize it to prevent counterplay. Then the parrying counterplay will disappear completely. Or it will turn into a full random, when player A can hold the mouse button for 0-1 second, and player B must guess when it will be released and parry within... dunno, 0.3 second duration of parrying? Pure rng with 1\3 chance, hmmm...

NGL I was super hyped for this game. Still am TBH as a martial arts based battle royale sounds amazing.

But I have to agree with the OP based off of what I have been seeing. I hope this game gets the attention it needs but with other free options or seasoned BR's out there that are paid for, I don't see the playerbase sticking around. Which ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sucks.
