How do you counter Warden bash spam or bash feint and guard break?

Light attack or rolling.

[LuNi]

Dodge backwards instead of dodging to the sides.

[GrayHound]

Easier than Warlord's headbutt spam.

If playing as an assassin sidestep and light attack, it cancels the GB and will hit them if they dash. :)

1. Play as a class with fast light attacks, and light attack.
   
2. Play as Shugoki.
   
3. Warlord Headbutt to Victory.
   
4. Assassins (and maybe Kensei and Valkyrie and maaaaaybe Nobushi?) can do their side-dodging attack. Once they're in their attack animation, the GB attempt will just bounce off them.
   
5. Catapult.

Get grabbed

I wouldn't recomment any dodging attack. Many wardens will feint most of the time against characters who have it and get a parry. Just roll away.

I've yet to meet a warden with this much presence of mind, but certainly if one does meet such a warden, dodge attacks would be even worse than just staying in the vortex.

The good news is that every class with a dodging attack (except maybe Nobushi?) has a fast light attack option, so they don't even have to dodge. Just slap that Warden.

Edit: Exception — Conquerors, Lawbringers, and other Wardens can do a sidestep unblockable bash/shove attack, so that's still on the table.

bash feint has long delay, if you cancel the vortex and the other guy throw a light you will not have time to parry it.

Nobushi dodge heavy its really fast.

Rolling is alright but it takes a lot of stamina if you plan to do it all the time. I suggest trying to read the guy.

Most of the Wardens bash the first time and GB the second. Most of the time, if they GB the first time, they'll try to GB all the time. If they realize you're CGBing alright, they will try to bash one, and then GB again the next.

Try to read what he's gonna do next is my tip.

This coming from a Warden player.

Sure.

It doesn't hurt having in mind what I said tho. It's impressive how 99% of them fight alike.

its safe, if you get caught in a vortex canceling bash will take too much time to parry the light.
