So Highlander has a Crushing Counter in all sides?

[DW]

*sad music starts playing*
*putting noose around my neck*

... Here I fought that duels would be fun again after the defense changes and cancer would be gone. Goodbye lads

Lights can't be feinted, just like Warden, using crushing counter will be a risk.

Have no idea what you're talking about.

Highlander has the unblockable parry-ish move in all directions that seems to deal around 40 damage

It deals 30 damage (Warden's Crushing Counterstrike does 40). It works the same say on principle as Crushing Counterstrike, though.

If you're fighting a counter-happy Highlander, you will probably be able to feint to bait the counterstrike and then parry it. Just like baiting CCS and parrying that, it will be a light parry punish, and since Highlander's lights are slower than Warden's top-light they should be easier to bait-and-parry and anyway.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but a Kensei will absolutely eat a counter-happy Highlander for lunch.

Werent they changing the light parries to have the same timing as heavy parries too? Good lord have mercy on our meta

I think they are delaying the parry punish changes. If i remember well, they said it needs more testing.
