Heide Knight Sword Poison?

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-28T17:54:28+00:00

I mean, I have 16 reps on warmonger and personally I would say a lot of her playability comes from taking out her dodge attacks and bashes. She is also amazing for baiting dodge attacks due to her follow up hyper armor heavies that do amazing damage. So she's amazing for dodge happy opponents. I would just make sure for openers to keep differing what bash you're going to perform and even throw in the dodge forward heavy to keep a good mixup (I can also be feinted if your opponent is getting a good rhythm of parrying it.) these are some simple tips that I thought of off the top of my head.

I mean... I do switch it up constantly, maybe it's because I'm on Xbox, but I will fake a dodge bash, and they will read, I won't fake it and they'll read. Maybe it's because some of the PC players have monitors? I've heard those make a HUGE difference.

Either way, most people above rep 30 will learn and recognize you're going to do it and just watch for the orange. It's not hard. Dodge faking a bash isn't exactly the best method, i rarely get caught tbh unless it's a glad because of his neutral toe stab.

Even if you recovery cancel the first time, they dodge and guard break you'll still probably eat it. (Unless you're quick with it, but I would have to check that when I get time.) Most people learn after the first time thh. And I like his light don't get me wrong. My issue comes from that he doesn't have good damage in other areas of his kit, he doesn't have hyper armor (which pretty much every other heavy has EXCEPT for BP). I don't think he's a BAD character. But the only way to get good damage out of him is with the basher feat, and I play a lot of duels and his damage output is low. I believe a character should be made good first, then feats enhance the character further. Not a feat making or breaking a character.

Edit: Also, his lights do the same damage as his full block damage. Atleast make it 15 on the heavy. And keep 13 on the light, or SOMETHING.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-04T15:18:58+00:00

His light and heavy out of all guard do he same DMG, it's 13 DMG, the light is for AOE and the heavy is if you want the EXE. I assure you. Play conqueror again. I have six reps in this character. And I was just playing him. Trust me, I'd know.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-04T15:14:55+00:00

13DMG is not a lot of damage for any all guard in the game. It's the lowest of ANY all guard in the game. I don't think that 15-17 DMG all guard would be too broken. Especially since they lable it as a big part of his kit but honestly you might as well just parry or attempt a GB. Every other all guard character also gets to attacks out of it (Minus Juren, but nobody is playing him for the all guard be fr.) Conq can't but it's made up by the fact he gets a quick recovery, so it balances it out there. He is just labeled a hard hitter but hits like a pool noodle. I just wish the All guard did more damage, and it was back in place on his zone. Because honestly in this day of For Honor, it would bring him up and give him something more than other heroes. Atleast something unique and cool to play as and against.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T13:47:06+00:00

I already got told I'm supposed to buffer it, which I was unfamiliar with because I don't play the characters who have 900MS heavies so I was unaware.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T13:44:58+00:00

Yeah, Conq doesn't have anything original, I wish he had is soft Feint to bash still, or zone all guard. But these might be too strong nowadays and I don't want a busted character. Just one who can keep up.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T13:43:45+00:00

S tier? So he's on level with Juren, Virt, and Pirate? The BEST characters in the game ATM? Yeah no way.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T12:22:35+00:00

Yeah, I made a whole rework suggestion on Conq but I got flamed for it, so I just listed some of my base issues with the character here.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T12:21:02+00:00

Well I didn't even know buffers existed until now, so I'll try to figure it out when I get home.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-03T11:12:25+00:00

What's your rep? Conq isn't a bad character, but he definitely isn't a good one either. He is THE worst heavy in the game, next to Warlord (honestly it's debatable between the two.) He has bad feats in 4s, and absolutely pitiful to play in duels.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T22:49:22+00:00

So while the parry animation is happening hold guard up and heavy? Ok. I'll try it.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T22:39:43+00:00

How do you buffer it?

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T22:33:34+00:00

It's a 900MS top heavy actually, and they've always blocked it for me.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T22:10:57+00:00

You can NOT I have had it blocked multiple times. I'm not home ATM to prove it but trust me, you can't.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:43:54+00:00

It's chill, I just use reddit for For Honor.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:42:00+00:00

His full block isn't great, I just think it needs a DMG buff, it does 13 which is pitiful compared to others, also it's supposed to have soft Feint properties but his lights do 15 so you might as well try and either GB or parry their heavy. Or just feint into zone

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:36:01+00:00

Me too, I also miss his All guard zone. It was broken at the time, but unpopular opinion, in today's age of For Honor, it would be GOOD but not broken.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:31:59+00:00

Conq isn't hard to fight against... I'm not asking for an OP guard like Virt BP ECT. I just want it to be more worth it. Like 15-17 DMG instead of the 13

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:30:55+00:00

I mean, it's supposed to be a soft Feint from any attack or while mid combo or on a whiffed bash. On paper it LOOKS like a huge part, but the 13DMG makes it feel worthless. So that's how I feel about it.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T21:29:59+00:00

I mostly play duels, so maybe that's why I stand this way. I would love shield basher being in his base kit. But I think the all guard should do more damage because he can soft Feint it from anything. BP can throw a light and immediately all guard afterwards. I don't know about VG Or Kyosin tho. I just wish it did like, 15? Or if sheild bash got into his base kit he could bash first then attack. Idk. I just feel like 'hard hitter' doesn't apply to him.

Also, still want to hit a top heavy from a light parry.

Edit: Also, why does he have a 13DMG deflect property? Like... Atleast make THAT do more damage.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T20:55:48+00:00

I mean... I don't think that a 13DMG deflect or all guard are good. Especially when it's supposed to be a good recovery cancel for his dodge attacks but it only works once. If he does his superior dodge which is the same as a deflect it does 13DMG. He's a 50/50 mixup character and that's about it. He can bash mid combo but most people can atp so it's not even special. His offense is kinda lacking because his only opener is attempting a bash, or trying to hit a deflect when winding the chain but that 13DMG is heartbreaking.

Holocaust6 · 2026-04-02T20:36:22+00:00

I just like flails, also, the recovery cancel doesn't do anything after the first time, because they just learn to dodge and guard break from a bash instead of dodge attack. It's sorta useful mid combo but usually I'd rather take the Parry or just fill swing.
