[Blade & Soul NA] How to Counter Summoners (1V1 Arena PVP)

[@syldris]

Wow, this video really helps how to counter Summoners! I always wondered which I should kill first, the summoner or cat. Thank you for the video :D

[@bosjes123]

Thank you so much for this video! I was struggling against summoners for a really long time, but finally managed to hit plat due to this video!

[@hiroki_rinn]

This video! Much appreciated!

[@MakinaIcy]

Wow thank for doing this dude !

[@HollowAddiction]

By the way, if anyone is an independent artist and has some of their music they would be interested in having me upload and promote, you can send to [e-mail] and I'll check it out :) Include, song name, your name, the music, any of your social media etc to be linked to.

[@MikkiZHskDK]

yes yes yes! THANK YOU!!!!, as a kfm or blade master what do you suggest we do then, dont block much and rely more on Q-E?

[@Digimonworld4x]

Thank you so much for this video man, I really want to hit Diamond this season and I might be able to because of you :)

[@umpac123]

Great tips. What costume is that on ur Lyn?

[@ino145]

What is it that you're wearing at around 8:40 please, Looks so cool! (The red)

[@StudioSerinn]

Woo its my Anti Summoner PvP spec, feels good to see others using it also :) The anti snare on Vortex is so damn useful.

[@peaceleafz]

This was super helpfull thank you!

[@unknowncry2382]

hey. I am a blade dancer as well and just made it to low platinum and was wondering if you could just make a 30 min or so video of you just doing pvp? it would help me a lot by watching you play and see were I can improve.

[@HollowAddiction]

+kaleb allison I planned on making a video today of arena PVP with Blade Dancer against one of each class but for some reason my game is unplayable laggy today. Trying all day to figure out whats been going on :/

[@unknowncry2382]

+HollowAddiction thank you so much for doing this and don't worry take your time on making it.

[@Blarch]

Since you did a build for your Blade Dance it would be great if you showed us one for the Destroyer since you seem to play that class aswell. Cheers :D

[@johnnycortez1148]

Have you read the future buffs/nerfs? (I'm talking about lvl 50 rebalance.) Is BladeDancer still better than BladeMaster in PvP after those changes?

[@KokojaTheGreat]

Isn't heal on the "V" skill viable against summoner's as well? What do you think about it?

[@AkiraSan92]

Very helpful thanks alot. i have one sugestionm use the Icons layout to show the talents please, it's way less confusing...

[@HollowAddiction]

Leave a comment to request the next "How to Counter" video :)

[@breakies]

+HollowAddiction why are you always taking the right path on blitzblade? i mean you can drop their shield with the left cancel the dandelion etc, and the damage difference is minimal, also i dont think you HAVE to straight up delay the fighting also ur bodykick and anklebiter are basicly never used for no apperent reason?

[@MakinaIcy]

+RTenjo For BD -Tab lv3 on the right side to regain chi+movement speed every time you get off "snare"(frozen). They won't be able to run away from you with your speed buff. -Z right side upgrade for breaking their force choke. -I notice that I'm unable to do lighting draw combo when I have some kind of ice debuff on me. Whereas aerial combo still work just fine. For BM -I saw them doing guard-counter when they stuck in the ice. If it proc it will daze the FM. (Obviously they will try to freeze you right after they got out their silly ice coffins so use your I-frame skill firsts before attacking.)

[@machine1223]

+RTenjo Force master is super easy to kill

[@Cocorobert35p]

+HollowAddiction How to counter assasin :3

[@machine1223]

hasbul SilverHasbul He has a video on that already ^.^

[@tweezytbabyful]

Thank you for the Vid bro I shouted you in region arena chat(Several Clouds) great tips as always dude, I only found that Summoner and Destroyers were giving me a problem(Ani-Cancel Damage) but now really good KFMs and their stunlock seems to be an issue any tips?

[@hakublank849]

Nioce Nioce !! Now woops some summoner ass !! -Frolic \0.0/

[@emmpai1]

great video, would be a good playlist if you did how to counter destroyers, sins and so on

[@theledge86]

nice vid, thanks

[@LostInForeverForest]

you've made a mistake saying summoners can spec their attacks to pierce parry. Only the lmb skill rosethorn is able to pierce when specced. I noticed you took damage from that summoners sunflower when spinning in your match against him, had you specced for deflect he would have been stunned when he did that. Having said that, petal storm prevents status defects so summoners can range attack you from that without getting the stun from deflect.

[@Sheriff_K]

Against Summoners should your target switching/sticking sensitivity be higher or lower?

[@DieKao]

+Sheriff K Higher. Helps with staying on the target you want to attack.

[@oonagi4103]

1:25 how long is the stun resist duration? daze doesnt work either?

[@LucasColleone]

Hey bro, how fight with friends in Arena 1v1?

[@distrancelll8815]

And how does one counter cancer dancers?

[@ameliachamberlain6901]

Can you do an assassin build, if you have a sin that is, my brother just gave me his account after he got angry over an incident ~not to important~ but I just got dumped with a level 43 assassin and I don't know how to make the build cos it reset 😭 great vid by the way, very informative 😋

[@luiscarvalho5934]

my tatic to kill summ is to burst down the cat. Im at gold almost plat ( dunno if this work at higher elo) I use my grip combo on him followed with my electric stance combo while using the Z and its done after that .

[@mopokrawr707]

I need to find a guy like you who does vids for blade masters. Tempted to start a blade dancer from your vids

[@alilsneaky]

At the fight near the end you trigger his counter (the dandelion ) like 20 times and still win.. you trigger it immediately after backstepping out of his root as well, many times. If literally any other class does this against summoner they get wrecked.

[@zenkreyfeathers540]

"whatchu sayin bb girl"

[@Sheriff_K]

A Summoner told me that you can't bring the Cat back from Unconscious unless the Summoner is Knocked Down (he tested Beckon spec'd in multiple things, it couldn't get it out of Unconscious.)

[@akanyanful]

he can do beckon while cat is flying by being thrown away, not when it is already unconscious lol

[@ianhancock9045]

Once the cat has hit the ground the only way to recall it is using the 30(?) second version of their recall spell. However, while the cat is in the air after being thrown you can recall it to cancel the sleep.

[@Sheriff_K]

+Ian Hancock Apparently the only way to recall using the 30+sec version is if the SUMMONER is CC'd, not the Cat. But when the Cat is being thrown, BEFORE it lands/sleeps, it can be recalled... So if the Summoner is prepared/fast enough, sleeping the cat is pointless.. :(

[@Marduk625]

U should go blade master. Lyn blade cancer and scummoners are just to much of a simple easy concept besides my rant great informational video

[@SirKrisX]

How to counter Destroyers/Kung Fu Masters. All I see are resist resist resist.

[@NattsumeT]

+KuyaKris Do the same with this build you can be resist and resist and wait for a critical moment :)

[@captpoop22]

7:56 , BLITZBlade !! put it on the left side guys, don't use it on ARIALS, USE IT when he does the little thing ( flower over his head, to go invis ) it's the only thing that can cancel it !!!!!

[@ryndym]

what combo do you mean when you say choke combo?

[@StudioSerinn]

+rndm 4-2-LB-RB-LB-F-LB-LB-3 or for summoners 4-2-LB-RB-F-3 (since you usually don't get the full choke combo off and its better to take what you can)

[@ryndym]

+StudioSerinn okay thanks, that's what i thought but had to make sure there wasn't something i've missed.

[@zenkreyfeathers540]

+StudioSerinn elaborate more D: i didnt get it

[@IDioTsWhiTNoFuTure]

How can u burst if he would heal himself to 100% >.>

[@Rewyn09]

+S. Vlad Did you even watch the vid? You play for time, just staying alive and dealing more damage than the opponent. It doesn't matter how much you heal yourself, if you did less dmg.

[@IDioTsWhiTNoFuTure]

Rew K, go back to wow. We don't need u here. peace

[@Rewyn09]

S. Vlad Then why ask something, which has been said in the video? Seems like you *do* need someone to explain it to you after all.

[@IDioTsWhiTNoFuTure]

+Rew Oh sorry, i tought it was another comment.

[@Rewyn09]

S. Vlad lel. No worries then.

[@toryarashi4185]

I always get rekt by force masters because my dash skills are disabled and they tend to be really annoying with the roots and stuff, i have a bit of experience fighting them but for the sake of those and myself i would like a build specificly to Use the FORCE against them (heh star wars) my build is similar to yours from before i watched the video but i made a few changes, also the build for lyn summoner pretty much works against destroyers except you can spec into the blitzblade to cancel and block thier shield animation (also the blitzblade works against the summoner either way and the one spec i find is better since it recovers chi and prevents them from danilioning for 6 seconds but i know is kinda pointless tho since they have an 8 sec cooldown but the chi is good maybe if you catch them at the end of thier danilion you could prevent them from dandilioning for like 1 sec but im not sure havent tested it) I only have like 5 weeks of experience but yeah it would be nice to recieve a build for fm

[@toryarashi4185]

+Tory Arashi you can basicly just I frame through all the destroyers bullshiz and i can post a video or something for you to work with o-o this will be my first video tho

[@ROLLEN52]

how to counter destroyers plz!! the spin/stunlock hurtsss

[@VoidsentVivi]

+ROLLEN52 Dont try to facetank the spin.

[@OdiIon616]

+DeusInsania Don't mash tab either. Depending on your class, most classes have tab break, and backdash to avoid CC. Make sure you're recovery-rolling DAZES as well as KNOCKDOWNS. Destros only have 2 stuns, the rest are daze or knock-downs and they're all roll-recoverable. Also ground counter.

[@MakinaIcy]

Hit&run tactic. CC and do your combo then get out so that the spin won't reach you. They will then attempt to jump/stun so prepare to parry/counter them. Most of them rely on grabbing. Grab breaking skill is a must and that breaking time is when you can punish them. You can cc when they miss the spin since parry last 0.5s after the first spin

[@NattsumeT]

+icyterror they inmue to stun after that 0.5 so the only way is grab :3 skill 4 from BD

[@DieKao]

+ROLLEN52 backstep out of the spin ASAP. get ready to counter their gapcloser and then combo them. Don't get stunned EVER, or good destros will animation cancel you to death.

[@euclydesc.oliveira32]

How to counter destroyer, pls

[@Animepianorocks]

how to counter warlocks pleae!

[@Biobliter]

Scummoners are a pain in the ass. As a blademaster, I find them irritating as fuck. They go invisible. Ok...

[@AnonymityIx]

What happens when the most annoying class faces off against the second most annoying class

[@xPatrick2301x]

How to counter kung fu mastter pleasee

[@NattsumeT]

After testing this build is relly good against summoner i just change my strategy + your skills what i do is this start the game and i go invu with z or maelstrom to avoid cc and the pet first attack then i grab the pet and put him to sleep after that i instantly cc him make him in the air (normal combo + c) and then i go out in a corner and he return to his pet the i wait for grab cd and he wait for his pet to wake up and repeat the process is silly but works after 9 battles against summoner i just lost 1 cause i failed the grab at the start xD

[@akaziehl]

How to counter KFM, they just fcking block each one of my attacks :(

[@charltonsoliano3461]

I bet the 2 down votes are summoners.

[@zerodyne5333]

How to counter assassins... Step 1) Level LBD Step 2) Start up arenas Step 3) ? Step 4) Profit

[@jolt187]

+Zerodyne forgot the important step of "only face awful assassins"

[@captpoop22]

+big mouth prick assassins are easy to counter.

[@TheShybun]

These vids need subs cause that volume is just..ugh

[@user-mm4uk5bq3x]

well.. i'm usually more afraid of kfm burst combo.. when i fight summoners i just tray to keep the cat close to the summoner.. so i can dmg both with AoE attacks and spin to win :P

[@SerdomaGaming]

Terrible strategy btw.

[@user-mm4uk5bq3x]

Serdoma gaming well.. i'm not a pro.. i just have like 20 pvp's on my record.. BUT the only 4 loses i got were against KFM.. may be i haven't fought a pro summoner.. but i like to be able to send both to the air or knock them out with a single skill.. also is easier to me to stun the cat and quickly attack the summoner without having to move my camera ALSO if you use the AoE tree from flicker u can make some dmg to both of them

[@Silvergrooves42]

+Serdoma gaming Terrible constructive feedback btw

[@SerdomaGaming]

Wasn't supposed to be constructive

[@nonochunachinach6101]

teach me senpai how to counter kfm's

[@arlyna7126]

+Chugichuu Attack them while they're countering and immediately tab, they'll get stunned, if you're not plat and above that always works because they keep wasting their escapes on the parry stuns xD

[@dmitriyking1998]

+Stackt X Take away the cat and you have just described every class in the game

[@diegovinicius4186]

ye i have tried, he can put it on Def Mode, or can heal him, and while u trying to kill the cat he can just Sunflower Burst u, 4k ea hit '-'

[@MFKmuckman]

BD Tab is such cancer :(

[@Theanh23]

yeah good idea counter an imba class with another broken class lol

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

Lol how ping matter you make newbie mistakes and still top tier player i dont hit counters and stuff but cant go up becouse in lag, f, i frames dont work, and my ccs last less time and stay stuned,dazed for longer time.

[@W4hrH31t]

mmm summoner isnt that bad but...destroyers is retarded sometimes

[@brandonmowery6885]

so basically summoners are garbage as fuck and need a nerf?

[@captpoop22]

+Brandon Mowery yup, Garbage class... needs ZERO skills to play them, OP as fuck,

[@Raydr62]

False. The class does take skill to play, just most people don't see it. Summoners are about health management. They do a shitton of damage if you don't know what you are doing, yet arnt all classes like that? Summoners can go down in three hard hitting combo's. It really does seem like they rely on no skill, but they go down faster then a assassin who just stands still. I main a summoner, I get called scum and shit, but it really is hard to play. Summoners are the easiest counterable class in the game.

[@arlyna7126]

+Alongname “Thelongname” Verylongname Listen, summoner has the lowest skillcap of all classes that are currently in-game. It's easy to pick up and wreck with. If a new player picks up a summoner, he can get to gold pretty easily just by mashing buttons. If a new player picks up KFM or BM for example, they will eat shit and will be stuck in silver for a long time. Yeah, in higher tiers, every class needs skill to be played. But if you want to go full on with the ratings, summoners have the lowest skillcap and highest reward, plus you don't get your mistakes punished very harshly unless the enemy knows what they're doing.

[@Raydr62]

Mato Kuroi True. The only thing bad about summoners is they fall short once players hit platinum and above. I

[@brandonmowery6885]

Alongname Verylongname you say that while there are so many plat and diamond sums.............................dotdotdot
