[Choosing a Main] Which one is right for me?

[( * )]

Hi everyone,


I played a lot since the game launched and still can't find my Main Character.
Problem is most of my time is spent looking at all the characters, trying again and again their moves, comparing their strengths and weaknesses, etc.

Help me choose one (or two) please. :)


Here's what I'm looking for in my Main char:

- Offense Hero : I want to attack, to initiate the fight, not wait behind my shield to parry and counter.
For example, I enjoy the Raider : charging into my ennemies, roaring like a beast, not a lot of time spent waiting for them to attack.

- Fast moves : I want to be able to run and attack fast, not wait 3 seconds for each attack animation.
The Berserker felt smooth in this area, the Conqueror didn't.

- Abilities turned towards attacking ennemies, not helping team mates.
Fast Revive is cool, but if I'm dead I won't be able to use it.
Being able to send a large bomb to burn a whole area, killing my ennemy, will make me win my fight, then revive my team mates, in that order.
(I play mostly Dominion and 4V4)

- Doesn't need to have top notch reflexes, in order to be efficient.
I must admit I've got BAD reflexes, very bad even.
It's nice to be able to counter someone with the Orochi's dodge...but I just can't.
I trained with bots during hours, but once on the battlefield I can't stay focused enough to do it.

- Has COOL looking moves
The Valkyrie with her lance can make spectacular moves, same for the Raider and his axe.
The peacekeeper has much more subtile animations, don't really enjoy it, not VIOLENT enough ;).


TL;DR : I'm looking for a character who's playstyle is Offensive, Fast Paced, has damaging abilities, doesn't require Pro Level reflexes and has cool violent animations.
Which one is right for me?


Thanks for taking the time to read me, have a great day. :)

so you want a fast agile aggressive char that doesnt require good reflexes? i got bad news for you. one goes hand in hand with the other.

[Brave and Fearless Sir Shiba]

You keep mentioning liking vikings in general from what I see. So why not 1-2 of them?

[Saint Landwalker]

Have you given a try to the Warlord? I'm not familiar with his feats, but he has respectable defenses without requiring assassin-level dodging. Although he's a counterattacker, he's got some good offense-initiating abilities. He isn't super-fast, but he's no Shugoki.

I might also suggest Kensei or Warden for you.

[Catpuppy]

Berserker.

[Slamadam]

my tips:
berserker is aggresive, fast and can be rly strong, but he takes alot of practice and yo need to do more than other chars to be successful.
oroshi is the baseline fast guy. dodgehits, fast overheads, deflect. but people gonna get salty cause reddit decided for some reason that he is to strong.
peacekeeper is fast, has a strong grab(once fixed, the grab bleed is bugged and sux atm) and fast hits.
valkyrie is considered to be weak, but you can make her work if you rly enjoy her. fast stabs, stylish combos, good defense. and you can practice deflectin on her, too , to get better with the assassins

I was thinking of Nobushi until you stated you don't want team-oriented feats.

You basically want an assassin, but not the subtle-animated one and not reflex-based one. That's not possible.
Perhaps the closest to it could be the berserker.

Well, I was half expecting it, damn...

I indeed really like the vikings.
I raised each to level 10, then thought "what if an other Hero does is even more enjoyable? There's this and that which could be better."
And here I am. :p

Didn't try the Warlord, ok I put it on my todo list.
The Kensei and Warden felt "meh" to me, but I didn't play them more than 2 hours each.
They felt like hybrids, not slow, not fast, not bad looking moves, but not cool looking either.
I'll raise them to evel 10, see how they feel after that. :)

warlord is one of the slowest characters in the game.

I know I post this guy's videos a lot, but it's because he's both a good player and educational:

I'd take a look at that and see what your Kensei thoughts are afterwards. Unfortunately he doesn't have any when he's playing for Warden or Warlord. (He has a sort of "Warden basic video," but not any like this one.)

My highest level at the moment (12 :p), really enjoy him.
So you think he might be The One, I take not, thanks.

Berserker too? Ok, it seems he could fit me, from reading my wish list.
I can't play the Orochi, I just suck hard with him (level 11, so I need to train), I still put it on my list of Heroes to look at.
I understand what you say about the Valkyrie, will look at her.

I just checked, she also has some good offense in the later levels.
Her playstyle is really cool to watch.
I barely touched her (level 7), so I'll test her more, to see where it leads me.


Edit : can't answer for the next 40 minutes. Be back soon.

You're basically asking for an overpowered hereo because you don't have good reflexes.

[JBM]

Well, if you like Nobushi's aesthetics, she might suit you. She is fast and agile and at the same time requires less reflexes to play as than the assassin classes.
She relies on poking and maintaining distance, though, if you want constant pressure, I'd say berserker is perhaps the most "non-reflex" assassin (though there's basically no such thing) out there and he has pressuring chains and I'd assume he also has "cool animations" - I mean, I don't know what you mean by this, but I somehow gathered you want them to be gritty and powerful, in which case berserker does seem like a pretty ovewhelming class when you look at them fight. Then again, if you like Nobushi's aesthetics and animations, then I don't know, since Nobushi is basically the "darling of the cast" and certainly the most graceful and feminine in her animations.

Orochi and berserker might fit you, but everything in this game requires good reflex tbh

[The Kurgan]

pick one of the starting Character it says there easy for a reason master them and just keep to it

About cool animation: THIS. IS: VELKENHEIM! Execution is just so satisfying. I play Berserker and i think he got a buff since open beta. So far i've not seen many as my aspect of choosing this class was that there were barely any being played. His playstyle revolves around guardbreak lot. Altough i actually do the deflect guard break and barely the normal one.
