#NOBUSHI FOR HONOR HOW TO#

So, you Hidden Stance a heavy attack, you can then just follow up with a safe double light attack for damage and bleed due to them being in a recovery state for missing an attack. It goes without saying that Hidden Stance can be used to dodge any Heavy or Light attack your opponent can throw out, (though personally I’d recommend not doing it to lights as the follow up attack will most definitely hit you, you’re better off parrying or just blocking). So, knowing this we can then use Hidden Stance to its fullest and use it at its most optimal times against each class it allows. This forces Nobushi into a defensive play style and a reactionary play style over an aggressive one. Nobushi has no opener, and is arguably the least safe character to attack with due to how telegraphed it is (At least IMHO), she also has one of the slowest guard changes in the game (Equal with Shugoki and only a single frame faster than Raiders), so we can’t even rotate our guard around for a sudden light from a quick direction change despite having one of the fastest light attacks in the game. This allows Nobushi to dodge every single attack and ability in the game (With the exception of the Shugoki’s ‘Charge of the Oni), regardless of guard location or position on the map (Like trying to dodge a Conqueror’s ‘Shield Bash’ while in a corner, there is no room to move away from its hit box) Not only that but it dodges attacks entirely regardless of attack direction (To explain this with an example: If a Raider does their zone attack, you can dodge at the deflect timing into the direction the attack is coming from and because of the hit box of the attack you dodge it entirely, however if you dodge backward or in the direction the attack is going, you will get hit, this is the same with many other attacks as well (Valkyrie sweep)).

We Nobushi have one thing that uniquely makes us qualified to counter most of the unique abilities of other characters to allow us to punish them for using it.īefore we begin let me preface with this Īs any semi-decent Nobushi is already aware Hidden Stance start up has a dodge aspect to it, but not just any normal dodge, a superior dodge, one which cannot be GB punished allowing us to CGB during its start up. However that is not the point of this post, the point of this post is for me to put out my thoughts on when best to utilise her unique ability which is Hidden Stance… Not the aggressive attack feint side to it, the defensive side. Nobushi is my pride and joy, I love playing her despite her glaring flaws and will continue to play her until either the game dies entirely or I stop playing.

I have always felt that the unique abilities of each class is what makes them special and their play style should reflect this… What I mean by this is that the strongest way to play these classes is to use these abilities to their fullest (Warden Shoulder Bash, Valkyrie Heavy cancels and sweeps, Raider Stunning Tap cancels, Lawbringer Shoves and parry’s’ etc.) to get the best results, which is why I believe utilising Hidden Stance is the very core of how to play Nobushi well.
