10 Tips to Improve with New Lawbringer

[@ardaoguzhan8181]

Do longarm from neutral they'll never see it coming

[@KazumiyaEnthusiast]

They won't expect it the fourth time

[@Fangtherunner]

Only if it's against Jonny boi

[@j.d.4697]

Like I never see it coming when people spam heavies and lights into my full guard, so I actually get hit because I let go of full guard expecting people to actually react to my full guard.

[@manz7860]

Heres a few of my tips Backwards light attack is a relatively safe way to get into hyper armor heavy Throw heavy feint into light attack every so often Sprinting impale can catch people off guard if you can manage to get it off in the middle of your fight Pray your opponent is trash because lawbringer is playing the game on hard mode

[@tetatethourglass4871]

Last tip almost made me drop a lil tear 💧

[@BuffLawbro]

I hope lawbro gets his heavy parry impale back after a while like how glad got his knock down toe stab back. Over 60 reps in him and it hurts my soul to see warmonger, cent. Jj, afeera and so on get 30 or more damage on a heavy parry when lawbringer’s only did 25. Why Ubi decided to delete the usefulness of the move (except in the one scenario where there’s a ledge behind your opponent) instead of reducing its travel distance baffles me.

[@killjoix]

Wall splat off of Impale should stun. At least it wouldn't be useless anymore 🤷

[@rickplayzyt6277]

Warmonger should not have impale either.

[@YourLocalWarThunderFemboy]

[@birtunlow5280]

​@@YourLocalWarThunderFemboyyeah and at the same time warmonger has heavy parry impale. I believe that LB will be great again

[@concussionhead5164]

My problem with lawbringer, who I play faithfully, is that everyone and their mothers always manages to parry my heavy attack. I can throw out feints and mix it up, they still get the parry off.

[@Ghostvenxm420]

For me, I always parry attacks I can. Which means if it’s slow enough I’ll parry it, so feint get the parry if they fall for it ect

[@PikemanYT]

1 thing about the impale is that if u hit a wall and longarm, I'm fairly sure u can get a side light into a corfirmed top light, netting u 30 damage. It's only 1 more but still 🤷‍♂️

[@Jondaliner]

I tried that out, and it is not confirmed. Maybe if the opponent attempts to dodge, but not normally.

[@mrvalhalla6577]

​@Jondaliner if reflex guard was still a thing it would be 😂

[@renshiro_0]

I'm gonna miss old law so much man 😔

[@mylan4742]

Why? It’s not like they changed how you play him - just hyper armour and better combos.

[@iianmitchelldub]

I'm 7 months late to the party but I think when a rework happens (which is typically for the better) when people main that hero the muscle memory is SO ingrained i think it throws people off. A bad example for me was valk very first rework like years ago where you did the sweep from pulling backwards and using guardbreak. Then they changed it to just guardbreak button so it kinda tossed the 50 50 out the window cause I used to get 2 hits with valk then use a guardbreak instead of a sweep to catch people. Now I can't do that and its frustrating. Even tho the multiple reworks make the hero better it still messed with me. Especially with the all guard shield bash if it wiffed or someone dodged you could do a light attack and was mad effective. Can't do that anymore:(

[@Ombix77]

@@mylan4742fast forward and law bringer is one of the worst characters in the game

[@j.d.4697]

Also that heavy parry punish is genius for 4v4. I can see the devs clearly going for anti-gank viability with several of their LB changes.

[@Jondaliner]

For sure. He is a lot better defensively with some of these changes.

[@broheem9969]

I still hope the devs give him some more options as a “parry specialist” he’s not so special anymore in terms of the options he had available to him. Yet there is some good things that came with the rework. I just personally feel like the opportunity was wasted.

[@raffybifulco]

I hope Ubisoft does something for his top opener heavy; it was (and still is) meant to be used as a wallsplat punish, yet it always punishes the player for using it correctly.

[@ItsYaBoi123]

One tip i learned was use the ub top in duels and the ub side in ganks, the top can soft feint and is a good mixup because they always have to make a resd, while the sides have a good cleave for target swapping and externaling

[@Useless2319]

Also after the wallsplat they get a guaranteed light because you don’t have hyperarmor on the finisher and the second light doesn’t stun

[@shalashaskaseven4841]

Not if you long arm

[@Mr.Looooong]

That heavy parry + Zone got me winning more fights!

[@isaiahslaver2795]

We're on the same page when it comes to the wall: Only wallsplat if you plan to go for the longarm...which is anytime that you can do it. Some other things I found were that you can get a forward bash into side light after heavy parry for 13 damage instead of 12. Also, you can wallsplat to set up a guaranteed chain heavy by throwing forward, do backwards light and top heavy for 26 damage over 24. These were probably the tricks you mentioned already existed, but there is more incentive to use them now. RIP Guardbreak Longarm

[@JVoorhees1]

I really wish theyd just give the heavy parry impale back

[@robzilla8084]

For the impale. It can be useful for executing away from a fight

[@killjoix]

I feel like getting a successful impale to a wall should stun (similar to warmonger's impale inflicting bleed on a wall splat) It would at least make the move a little more useful.

[@manz7860]

Give lawbringer a charged unblockable hyperarmor feintable heavy. Just like shugoki, hito, and centurion

[@shalashaskaseven4841]

Why tho

[@JVoorhees1]

Or on heavy parry give me an animation like jiang jun where he grabs their throat then throw em

[@felismenari]

Impale is so bad now. Only way for it to be good again without reverting the nerf is to copy Raider's choo choo train move from GB. Just giving an opponent a ride on the spiky end of a polearm, instead of over the shoulder.

I’d love to see a roll catcher for lawbringer where he impales you and pins you so the ground for a free chain light. Or just make his roll catcher the pre-rework impale.

[@rei9990]

Thanks jon. I missed his dodge forward cancel cuz i just learn how to do that 😞

[@firedrake4260]

It be really cool if you could knock down your opponent with the impale if they were out of stamina, kinda like Warmonger, doing extra damage too.

[@WVLFKobe]

If you let go of them early before the impale reaches a wall you can get an extra move in and chain them all while knocking them to the wall still. Don’t sleep on it 😜

Wallsplats are now worth it I think with recent damage buffs

[@Wanderer-nw2so]

And they also nerve is damaged so much that I am probably losing more fights that I would’ve won because his damages so low that other characters heavys deal more damage than his even though we’re supposed to get our unblockables easier they don’t want to have us be too powerful. I just call that favoritism of others because you know the lawbringer mains aren’t a big part of the community and so you can get away with such a big nerf without much criticism.

[@ShamanThroatWarblers]

[@Monkey_Man0114]

He is damn near useless… a light attack from warlord does 20 damage…. And a top heavy from lawbringer does… 20

[@shalashaskaseven4841]

No light attack from warlord does 20 damage. His highest damage light, is a cc that does 17. Not to mention that 20 damage heavy gives a 4 damage light free, for 24. 24, average damage.

[@tristanlambert658]

Am I the only one who’s pissed they for some reason didn’t green light his light chain? They said the goal of his rework was to remove the clunky feeling of him and provide more flow to his kit, yet they didn’t let his light chain go to live so he’s still stuck throwing a neutral light and then… well that’s basically it. A neutral light is forced to follow up with a heavy which has little to no mix up potential. I hate that so much.

[@Jondaliner]

I wanted it too 😕

[@miguellopes9268]

@Jondaliner do you prefer the previous version or this version of lawbringer, i find this rework very lackluster and dont really like playing lawbro anymore

I like stuff from both. But if I had to choose, it would be previous LB. He was more viable for duels. But the new one feels better for 4s.

Scrub opinion here but none the less imo the rework is kinda lackluster I would like a double light chain, roll catcher and keep impale on heavy parry but lower the damage but that’s me

[@Emilespartanguy]

Impaling is good to save a teammate from a duo gank

[@miyrajewel6847]

Even though lb is my most played character with something like 32 days counted on the timer in game this rework almost made no difference to me the only thing I fell is my ability to enter my finisher is faster especially for pressure or just to be annoying especially in ganks but other then that I haven't really changed anything heck I almost think doing a second heavy instead of the quick tap light to catch panicked dodgers if you delay it is still more effective then anything else in his kit cause everyone through the 2nd light so when you throw a 2nd heavy instead they cease to function all together

[@jameslawn6159]

They should do something with impale after a parry it looks so trash and it will 100% of the time never land like wtf is that

[@manz7860]

Bring back heavy impale. Either nerf the range or change it so it works like raiders and warmonger wallsplat.

[@jameslawn6159]

@manz7860 like why even have it on heavy parry still its more useless then longarm now

[@nafereuskortex9055]

This might be my least favorite rework they have ever done. Its like typing with the pinky on your left hand backwards. Its not a a huge change, could work around it, everything is pretty much the same but it all feels just different enough to feel worse. I hate it more than if they just top to bottom reworked him.

[@cillblinton8181]

this video convinced me that new lawbringer isnt bad by any means (which was your goal), but poorly designed. He has less depth than before. Usecase diversity was destroyed for the parry punishes, with zone riposte being objectively better than light riposte, and impale riposte being moved to light parry. Same goes for the bash after heavy. Why do anything other than light combo? They straight up ruined this character, and despite constant rebuttal from the so called comp players, I actually enjoyed the "disabler, parry counter attacker" playstyle of the character. He was unique in that sense, but I cant win on the stun topic because apparently you guys have light sensitivities or chronic epilepsy or some shit idk.

[@manz7860]

I never understood why people's are mad about lawbringers stun in particular. If you dodge roll out of it he can't do anything about it.
