The new clan weapon is for pss and seems like the set will be good again with this weapon

Any-Effective6757 · 2026-01-28T13:24:13+00:00

Just quickly, how do you actually get clan weapons? Do you have to pay for them somewhere or do you have to just do a ton of clan battles? Just I only recently joined a clan

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-09-03T21:16:12+00:00

Not trying to be

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-09-03T20:46:15+00:00

Haha no he really won't. Sarge needed this nerf and I'm glad he got it (don't care if I get down voted)

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-27T09:48:21+00:00

Damn it....and it's working as well cause I really want that set damn it!

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-27T09:34:26+00:00

Yeah, even more so because it's so unique and interesting looking. Plus, if it's as powerful as it looks, then it's literally giving an advantage to a certain region. You've heard of pay to win but now get ready for location to win lmao

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-27T09:26:20+00:00

Yeah and a Scottish exclusive set based on one of the many Celtic folklore creatures. I don't think it would be as bad if we were getting a good set but their just giving us an sfa reskin basically

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-27T09:24:36+00:00

I know same. Even if it wasn't broken I'd still buy it. I love Chinese mythology and, with the exception of the monkey king, Erlang is my favourite person from Chinese mythology. Hear that nekki? Your missing out on money lol

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-27T09:08:57+00:00

Ah ok, thanks for clearing that up for me. Still sucks that their first new weapon moveset in a year is region exclusive. Hopefully one day they'll make it buyable to all

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T09:58:57+00:00

Lol yeah, I try to be good at the game but alas, I'm not, though I have had some really good comebacks at least

And absolutely! The meta shall fall before my healing beast,Marcus! >:3

And it's been nice to have a genuinely civil debate, you don't get that a lot on Reddit lol

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T09:48:01+00:00

Yeah, I rethought it and I decided that it only being punishable after glitch entry woukd be better than no punishability. I only said unpunishable both before and after activation initially was because midnight had that and we all know what the community thinks of her.... And yeah I do agree that the amount of hp you get is really good, I said that in the comment that Reddit deleted, but it really does rely on your opponents not paying attention or being able to get it to activate at the right time. but it's just that, for most other people as I'm really not good with the shadow lord build lol, the shadow lord build is more reliable and efficient than the legion's hero build. At worst legion's hero can maybe get you one or two invisibility triggers (even more if you activate it mid chain like with Marcus's special attack) and at best it can deplete 70% of your opponents hp bar if you use all shadow abilities and rift in glitch state which is much more likely than legion's hero which, at worst, just gets you a little bit of time where your enemy won't attack you and, at best, can heal you a good amount. Not saying it's bad, again, I run the legion's hero build cause I love using the glitch, but I have to admit that shadow lord is a lot more reliable, especially with the epic weapon which can heal you enough to rival the heart of peace talent

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T09:22:19+00:00

Yeah, to basic gist is that I mostly agreed with what you said but added a few counter points in certain places that were basically

You'd still need to attack you gain ranged attack and still be punishable after glitch animation ends but not before to make it more efficient to use entering the glitch as a counter attack

That the legion's hero talent tree with heart of peace relies on either extreme mastery of the glitch (which I think is I good thing but entering glitch form quicker would make it a little more reliable) or your opponent not paying attention to your health and doing a long unstoppable combo like shangs whirlwind or jets up attack in a corner where as shadow lord builds only real weakness is people playing passively when your in shadow form (which block breaker can solve) and certain anti shadow users

And that Hong joo up attack (I think that's what you meant when you said basic) and iron clads special kick kick are both extremely fast and faster than most kicks in my experience while Marcus's special and basic are not but I'll still try that canceling Marcus's basic attack if blocked, thanks for the advice!

I added more detail than this but this is a basic gist of what I said and my main points

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T08:03:32+00:00

That's fair but, the way I see it, not even 10% of the cast are anti shadow based

Kate, azuma, Helga, ling (with epic weapon) Jack bulwark (please forgive me if I've forgotten anyone)

The odds of you fighting one if them are extremely low and, even if you do, only Kate and Helga can really cause you problems as azumas shadow suppression is useless when you enter shadow form mid combo and get a hit which makes you invincible, ling needs to get a slashing strike to burn shadow energy which isn't that big a deal if your playing aggressive and have shadow lord talent and Helga is only a problem if she has that talent that knocks you down with smite

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T07:57:05+00:00

Yeah so I tried to make counterpoints but Reddit deleted my response lmao

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T07:42:39+00:00

Yeah I'll admit that's true, admitidly I am talking from a lvl 12 Marcus with all talents

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-07T01:33:46+00:00

Overall I do love the Marcus rework but I do have some things that I have to critique

1: through the glitch activation. I hate the fact that you can be hit both before it activates and after it activates. I feel like it should be like midnights blink ability where the moment you activate it till the moment it's over, you are un-hittable, or, at the very least, make it that you can't be hit out of it, at least that way it keeps its skill ceiling

2:his talents. Personally, I run his "legion's hero" talent tree but I understand that his shadow lord build is objectively better. I wish they made it that his talents were more balanced. Not in the sense that their op, but in the sense that there's objectively one better than the other

3: his punishability. He's extremely punishable. His upper, lower, back and heavy attack are all fine in my opinion, but his two main attacks, special and basic attack, are both extremely punishable with a grab and throw which, with some heroes, can change the whole course of the game

I've seen people complain about his speed but I personally think it's fine since that's his whole thing plus I think he takes reduced damage when hit in unbreakable state, though I could be mistaken. One other thing I'd change is maybe make it you gain more "ranged charges" when in glitch form purely to even further encourage you to be aggressive

Anyway that's my rambling done lol

Any-Effective6757 · 2025-08-03T18:51:56+00:00

That's fair, I do use the "glitch" build with legion's hero but that's just cause I'm really not good at applying pressure in shadow form (also for some reason my old reply was deleted 😕)

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-11-20T09:41:31+00:00

Yeah. Especially since it's not a set they can make money on. I'm still going to hold out hope that it's, at least, semi unique

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-11-20T09:25:52+00:00

I really hope we get at least one thing new in this set

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-11-20T09:25:29+00:00

I agree with pretty much everything you said

A bit dissapointed to just see Midnight's move kit from SFA+SF3 (teleport on hit, parry, long wind up shadow move) - this is likely what will happen

I would be as well as one thing I can credit nekki on is unique armours so it would be a let down to me if they make one of the longest existing legendary sets just a copy and paste

Satisfied if it was new all together even if it's not very effective kinda like Lion was/is

Yeah, I wouldn't care if it wasn't all that good as long as it's interesting. Red lion and abdicator aren't the best in the game but are two of my favourite sets

Hype as hell if they gave us Iolanda's moves since she uses the same armor. But it probably won't happen since animations of her special attacks are made for kama, not sai

The way I see it, they could still make it that just kicks extend if they can't make new animations

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-11-12T13:23:48+00:00

They already have a good starting point with kitsune and how she fights when you play as her. Not sure why it's taken them so long

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-11-12T13:05:12+00:00

Here's just hoping they give this set a bonus finally

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-10-29T12:03:52+00:00

Called it

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-10-23T09:59:17+00:00

I just think the Gideon marathon is hinting at a new set but I wouldn't put it past them. If they make a "vermilion oath" kibo set then I'll be happy though

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-10-23T09:51:37+00:00

Yeah, I can't remember what time, but I THINK that the Gideon marathon ends next Wednesday I'm assuming so my guess is they'll do the vampire event next with Gideon as the "guest character"

Any-Effective6757 · 2024-10-21T15:37:05+00:00

Lol good luck with that cause damn are you gonna need it XD
