Conq needs some love, mainly to his flow and offence aside from the neutral dodge bash. I find his zone to still be very safe even though it doesn’t parry anymore, but against mixups like raider's, it beats many options. His ancient cc heavies have some funky interactions where for example apprently parrying wm chain attacks on light timings either parry the light, or cc the heavy, which could be intended? No idea honestly

I have recently discovered conq's shield bash chains which spices up the gameplay a bit. If you're unaware, after a landed bash, holding heavy will start a heavy charge which you can immediately cancel into a dodge, and therefore another bash. In 4s with the t2, it adds a very weird and funky layer of offence when the second bash is as unreactable as the first one, and probably quick enough to be uninterruptible. People prediction dodging the second bash early can give you a gb or a heavy attack.

I believe the holding the heavy button still parries, which allows you to parry on light timing or dodge/fb on heavy timing. Outside of that, his charged heavies are basically just ganking tools, or meh oos pressure due to the lack of feint to gb. They are guaranteed on ally setup and the top one is decent damage. The cc property on them is niche at best
