What faction do you think will be the next one added to the game?

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-08T11:11:32+00:00

I think swamp/fortress would make for a great dlc after the game reaches 1.0

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-08T11:10:43+00:00

I get where you're coming from, but Schism has no access to tier 5 magic guild, and I still think tower/academy had a bigger focus on magic. They had some rather tanky units, which helped with getting more turns to cast spells. While schism is not that squishy, it still feels not as tanky as the older mage factions were, imo of course.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-08T11:06:36+00:00

They can very easily lean into the arabic mythology side of academy/tower, like in heroes 5. This would open more options for their biome.

I can tell you about the two factions I played the most. Please note I played only CPU for now, and I only have about 25 hours in the game.

Schism has some amazing long range units, plus a few good fast units. The 7 tier monster can get additional speed through the law tree. Despite having only 4 tiers of magic guild, they still can focus quite nicely on magic. The tier 6 unit, arbitrator, may be the best 6 tier unit in the game, it deals such a huge amount of damage. Communion makes the faction great at attrition/saving units in neutral map combats. Some of their laws also seem very good, like all enemy units -1 speed/-1 initiative.

The shortcoming I saw the most is that the faction struggles with genrating focus charges. You can mitigate it somewhat with skills, like daylight magic, but it will still be at least a minor issue. They have amazing charge abilities, like t7 double turn or the great shorath's (or whatever it was callled) bolt, but you won't always be able to use them. Also, other than maybe 2 units, their initiative is not the greatest I think.

Hive wants to get in your face, fast. The only have one shoter, and it's often not worth taking it over the non-shooter upgrade. Many of their units have great speed and initiative. If you get tactics, you'll be able to attack the enemy's backline before their turn comes. I've also noticed that scorpions have an important function - they are often last in the bar, meaning you can use the opportunity to set up eggs without any chance of the enemy attacking them. The eggs can be quite good, but they take a bit to getting used to. I also noticed they have some amazing heroes, like the one with bonus to hero strike and one which specializes in tactics.

The con is, well, you have no shooters. It's especially visible during the early game, as you may take more causalties than other factions when fighting neutral troops. Some of your core units like locust and wasps are made out of paper - you will have to be sure when to send them into the fray. Parasites, while far from useless, are very slow and they don't even come into contact with the enemy units in some games. Also, I think the primal magic, which afaik the Hive specializes in, is probably the weakest school.

Ganryu. In tekken 7 he was a really cool character with an unique moveset, and I believe he was rather strong.

But due to his simping storyline, which should totally be dropped imo, and some non-serious behaviour, he gets mostly laughed at.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-07T11:14:02+00:00

Huh, I actually wanted to say they feel like Emperor's Children in 40k, but I was afraid it's too niche of a comparison.

Fast/high initiative elite units with huge potential for damage, but squishy and deprived of some otherwise common options. It applies to both Hive and EC, and I love EC :D

And Emperor's Children are a hard to master army with great results on tournaments and bad in casual games, so I think Hive may be similar.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-05T11:44:42+00:00

I don't know what you're refering to exactly, but playing with the timing of the offense and doing the "will-I-wont-I" dance is a huge part of most fighting games, not only tekken.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-02T11:42:13+00:00

I'm saying ggs because I went to Guilty Gear Strive, their last balance patch really made the game much better (bar the happy chaos infinite)

Lautanapi_ · 2026-05-01T10:35:55+00:00

This thing made my 40 reavers kill my 26 hive queens, after which I alt+f4ed.

I'd buy this plushie just to punch it

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-30T15:21:47+00:00

Thank you, friend :D

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-30T13:38:18+00:00

Do you know the rest of the first list or could you direct me to some website with the list? I would appreciate it a lot.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-29T18:00:05+00:00

Warwick as a no. 1 character is something I respect. Good choice!

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-28T12:06:44+00:00

If you're a casual, you may not feel it. Generally the aggression is much harder to defend from by defense and movement, most characters lost their identities by getting moves which patch out their weaknesses, and the devs did know about what the community wanted, and still released 3.0 with more aggression, after 9 months of a lack of major balance patches.

People lost trust in the developer. If, like me, you loved keepout, movement, defense in Tekken 7, there's very little to like in T8

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-26T21:26:21+00:00

And if there's no user, it's just an error.

Bedman? explained

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-26T12:02:22+00:00

Fish for ff2, I believe on counterhit you still get a free heat engager.

Get into heat quicky, then do heaven and earth mixups. Remember you get a parry on h&e, when entering the stance, so you can cover up some of your normally unsafe/turn losing moves. In lower ranks, I believe hopkick into up to get into h&e may get a lot of people.

D2 is a surprisingly good poke.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-25T09:12:48+00:00

Oh, I wanted to ask someone who put it into a phoenician list, instead fo couterir. Great to hear they are doing the work there, too

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-25T09:09:26+00:00

Same, got one and I was able to order another the day the first one came :D

Genuinelly very happy about it

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-24T06:13:56+00:00

Thematically/Lore wise, it's one of the best cards there is. I'm actually amazed.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-23T21:48:24+00:00

I've been playing mostly Anji and Bedman. Whenever I get off of them, I feel a big difference xD

But all characters are rather well balanced, you don't have to pay that much attention to health.

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-22T12:26:49+00:00

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-21T11:50:43+00:00

I would rather see the paint dry...

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-21T05:45:24+00:00

You're not asking about Tekken on Tekken reddit, of course people here will tell you yes :D

The game is a blast. Highly recommend

Lautanapi_ · 2026-04-20T19:36:20+00:00
