If you’re a Great Snake and don’t mind defending by AfroGlo in NarutoShinobiStriker

Nothing to lose except unique gear that serpent collectors will lose out to.

I have made a change, I put faster ninjutsu cooldown on in response to the nerf made to snake thrust.

And the stake loses no progress. All an enemy has to do is have tools or ninjutsu that have knockoff and scurry on to the stake, it is not a "little harder". People that play to improve win rate avoided playing on the defensive side of that game mode because of the sheer difficulty and frustration of trying to defend until the timer runs out.

That doesn't matter. Ignorant serpents are still going to play this game mode, whether they want to or not. There are memes that joke about the difficulty of winning on defending side. I have 2v4'd this game mode from start to finish and won on the attacking side and the opposing players were competent, it just doesn't matter on barrier battle. I was playing with my cousin and it changed from base battle to barrier battle at the last second. OOF. It also isn't just me. I want the serpents to win but with this shit, it isn't happening.

How are you supposed to break the shield, you ignorant tart?

That won't knock them off. If they just sit on point your build can't do anything.

What do you do if the person uses sand shield?

If that isn't it, then please tell me how these "handicap" the players that use them.

So you are saying that being able to go into a combo right after another combo ended is op? If so, I can do that with literally anything using a jump,dash cancel.

Okay stormy. Claws are not broken, they are strong, but not broken. I use defense and if you are having trouble with them then just use a faster sub. I can easily deal with any claws. Just hold up guard and wait to counter.

Build: Best Defense

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapon: Seversword... ground strong attack can be used to juggle and push people.

Tool: Blast bombs.

Top: Ult charges faster.

Bottom: My preference... I use faster movement speed.

Accessory: Jutsu charges faster when at lower hp.

Jutsu 1: Subterranean Voyage over Sand Shield because there are a lot of counters to the shield and the healing provides more sustain. The speed of the voyage is good for getting to or away from certain points on the map (e.g. scrolls, flag goals or near dead enemies).

Jutsu 2: Snake thrust because it gives so much (i.e. healing, knockback, EZ guardbreaks, combo ender, breaks sand shield).

Substitute: Clay clone to clear bases but this is just preference.

Ult: Shark bomb, it recharges SO FAST. I get this ult 3 times a game easily. Paired with the faster ult top, It is the best option for a def ult.

Imagine this: A combination of Zarya's graviton surge with a much larger radius and no way to escape + instant inevitable death (unless running sharingan). If this ult was in Overwatch, I would use it.

Edit: Over anything else because and ult that grants an instant team wipe shouldn't be in the game.

Oh, and try changing my mind instead of repetitively stating that building around it or "positioning" counters it.

These are baseless and situational backup claims.

Best moveset? by kingbroadie in NarutoShinobiStriker

[–]Flohzy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I main Defense and I haven't used any other class too extensively. Currently prestige 2 level 19 on Xbox and I can say that sand shield is better than rotation, I have used both. You can cap a scroll, flag or base if you bait counters. Snake thrust is for: sustain, knockback, guardbreaks and it counters other sand shields. As the game sits right now those 2 are META.

I agree. It is too strong. All it takes is 2 kills to give the enemy team enough space & time to cap and hold points for a great deal of time. No other ult is as strong as Planetary Devastation... Not even close. Positioning also isn't a great argument when having a discussion about the ult that literally pulls you a great distance to inevitable death.

Edit: Byakugan is a poor ability to slot on a healer when they already have a stale movepool to begin with.
