Is the Lawbringer really that bad?

[Plague]

The instant I bought this game I just wanted to main the Lawbringer, He seemed like a versatile heavy-counter attacker hybrid. I've done well until the high level play kicked in, everyone is saying that hes a weak character with no real use in dueling and needs to be buffed. Is this true? im starting to think so... and Im the one that wants to main him.

[Plague]

seems like everyone has had simular experiences with reocuring results, i'll keep playing the Lawbringer, but damn, the struggle is going to be real and Im going to feel quite cheap.

Lawbringer is insane, just got hhim to prestige 3. fun as hell. he is a steam train on steroids. :D

[Uimet]

Tried lawbringer and practice on valkyrie level 3 bot and oh boi shes fast as hell!

[No gf]

Before any changes, the lawbringer could definitely use a more manly voice.
It hurts when the heaviest knight groans like a teenager working out the first time.

He sounds like a neckbeard having a heart attack

Lawbringer is my main and i´ve usually got a K/D of 2 up to 3 or more. And I am very often MVP. But to start with the lawbringer is difficult since hes harder to master but definitly strong enough to prove his point

[Plague]

try fighting a high level warden, its like hell.

He feels fine for me. Just have to play a bit slower than other characters.

I know Peacekeeper fans will defend it but when spamming light heavy light over and over again is a viable option and easily kill your target there is an issue. Combining how fast peacekeeper is and how it's dmg is massive it's OP I would consider the speed alone to make them tanky. Can't have the best of all three worlds IMO. Very easy to make a fast hard hitting hero OP while slow characters have to double the effort to kill a peacekeeper.


I may seem salty maybe I am but its just what I think of the class. I mean I jumped on peacekeepr and didn't bother learning combos and went into duels and I did 10 to test and I won 9/10 of them and I was just spamming light heavy light over and over again and sometimes do a grab and stab. I fought a rep lvl 2 Orochi and he said peacekeeper is OP and I could tell he was good because he won and he said for someone who didn't look at the combos and just went in ( I explained to him what I was doing) was astoundingly stupid.

The problem in this game is that the big guys hit like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ little girls, while little girls like Peacekeeper and Orochi do similar damage to what the big guys do.

It's already hard to hit a good Peacekeeper, it should hurt bad when it happens. But then again, if it were like this, a lot of these kids wouldn't have bought the game.

I hope for some changes now that day 1 is gone, something like a buff on damage for classes like Shugoki and Lawbringer against the smaller classes.

Yeah he is that bad , im now prestige 4 with him , almost 5 and yet i can tell he is extremly bad

Slow attacks that deal ok but not-so-good damage, high risk moves that can decimate your stamina if blocked or parried) good at shove-pushing opponents around but does not have any followup after that.

His only "endgame" is mixing up attacks with shoves and guardbreaks or dashing forward to bait their dodge and guarbreak them.

so yeah, a lot of the LB's play revolves around shoves and guardbreaks I'd say, wich is why he isn't on a very good spot right now.

You could also try baiting parries with unblockables but you need to finish a chain (gl with not getting parried or deflected beforehand) or landing a parry yourself.

Learn to parry. Parry to a straight up heavy unblockable or impaling charge. Lawbringer is not a great duelist but he is strong team fighter.

Law Bringer is awful. I'm used to Kensei who isn't that good, either, but LB is an entirely different level of bad.

[Kulpado]

I am prestige 10 lawbringer and yes, he is bad at 1v1. His only effective way to get damage is from parry which is not easy because he has one of the slowest defense stance change in the game (which makes no sense for me since he is a counter-attack). So if you facing fast classes, like peacekeeper, nobushi, orochi, you kinda have to predict their actions because you are too slow to just react to it. And then if you are facing warden, warlord, conqueror, you dont have anything to get through their defense and again you have to deal with the headbutts, shieldbashs and shoulderbashs... Your only good matchups is vs other weak classes like kensei and raider. My win-rate in duels with lawbringer is 78%, very high for how bad he is. But most of the matchups is a disadvantage for lawbringer so you have to outplay almost everyone to win with him. Also i played alot on the betas so i won alot on my first matches. Now i just queue vs wardens, warlords... so every fight is a very hard fight. Basicly if you wanna play lawbringer you better be ready for hard fights. You are not gonna be carried by your class (hello warlord). The good thing is when he got buffed i will be called OP. I hope so, i think i deserve it lol
