Backhand Blade dash Ash of War is so scummy

[Little Guy]

That ♥♥♥♥ needs to get nerfed into the ground. Dashes through you then leaves a Waterfowl-esc flash at the end, both attacks will shatter any poise you have, and it seems free as hell for casting. How the hell are you supposed to beat people that just spam that ♥♥♥♥? It's unreal.

you can only hope to counter it with certain hyperarmor set ups (hope for it because it relies on the swift slash user being brain dead and just mashing)

-endure allows you to trade with it, so with a hard hitting build you might be able to outdamage them

-hyper armor to trade with it is also a choice UGS are the best option for this, and there is another broken ugs from the dlc

-you can actually parry the charge, so you can gamble on parrying it if you think its coming but since its so fast reacting to it might be imposible

sadly none of this are really counters, is a strategy to defeat the spam but the moment your oponent has some skill its over since they posses an ''i win key''... again...

I definitely seeing backhand getting nerfed in pvp at least and the lighting perfumer bottle getting nuked from orbit.

I use black flame ritual against it, any kind of zone of dmg I think is good
