[@fkkfreeze]

Two things I forgot to add: - Nuxia's traps do not get triggered by the Bulwark Counter, and the counter does not flip the trap. Both just whiff. - It's literal immunity while in the flip move. I should've emphasized that more.

[@SteakOSaurier]

very interesting!

[@VAfurious7]

Did you try using a black prior to flip a black prior's 360 unblockable after a successful flip? I never thought I would have to type such a sentence

[@AlexHyena1]

but- Nuxia's traps, as much as I hate the bloody things, counter block attempts; BP is blocking.

[@JeromeShitposter]

You forgot about is pre Tiandi nerf oos pressure, where he can just light into bash into light you to death while you are oos :))))) Edit: Also the attack after the flip is automatic. So if you do the move, and go oos because of it. The attack will still come out. And the flip ledges :))))

[@alfamari7675]

So I see the title of the video and think to myself "It's an all block counter that beats unblockable moves and melee attacks, what's there to explain?" But then I think to myself "But this is freeze we are talking about... there's NO chance I'm not gonna learn something even if it's a game mechanic that's so basic everyone should already know everything about it (you would think anyway)." What do you know, you can counter "guaranteed" moves like deflects and nobushi kick AND you have total damage immunity, I learned something new. Just another reason on why I should watch freeze videos in the future. You see a lot of comments where people say "you deserve more subscribers" when I think to myself "no he doesn't, this is a stupid channel, he probably deserves less". Freeze is a good example of a channel that really deserves more. All the testing, frame data, all the testing, mechanic interactions, all the testing, optimizations, testing, information, oh and did I mention the amount of time this guy spends testing shit out for us and the benefit of the community? The shit this guy tests out and finds valuable information on, I wouldn't have even thought of testing.

This is an example of a pretty powerful character without 400 ms lights. Great job Ubi, you pleased the mid ranks

You mean like how Conqueror, Warden and Warlord all have no 400ms lights?

[@jamielivingston6919]

@@captainnyet9855 to Black Priors credit, what makes him as strong as he is, is simply the stance. He has shield bashes, but they're far more reactable than conqs (from what I've seen and heard be said), good damage and no stupid 400 ms lights. If you removed the stance, I reckon he'd effectively be a mix of Warden and Warlod (quite literally)

@Pimpster Pidgeon Like all full blocks except for Ara, people with good reaction times will react to your GB attempt and exit Bulwark on time to CGB you or simply light you out of your GB. This is possible due to the exit of Bulwark having almost no recovery If you’re facing someone with good reactions, Bulwark will be virtually unpunishable.

[@punkm0nk3y2]

Rip everyone who dedicated countless hours to mastering the deflect

[@L3derk0]

I don't really like the damage immunity during the flip-unblockable combo

[@valibrave]

Nut Protector it’s because the bulwark stance and counter are designed to be anti- gank

[@sneakly2051]

Valentin Tanase that’s understandable. But I believe a few things will undoubtedly get fixed. 1. Flipped opponents will get damage reduction 2. Prior will not be invincible 3. Won’t work on deflects.

[@valibrave]

But if he’s not invincible the rest of the team could just gank/feat him while he’s in the flip animation

[@drewestelle5694]

A simple fix is instead of him being immune, he just has damage reduction. So he can't be feated/ganked to death while in the animation. Those who get hit with it should get a damage reduction too, so they too can't be essentially instakilled while stuck in the animation.

[@eewweeppkk]

@@sneakly2051 Disagree. Everybody is posting videos about everything that bulwark can do but nobody seems to understand that all of this is in a controlled environment getting thrown at people expecting the attacks. I dare you to react to somebody deflecting your attack without knowing that they will until its too late. If you go into bulwark after throwing every attack just in case, guess what? They could just guardbreak for free damage instead. A lot of people are missing the fact that bulwark doesn't just delete the enemies moves. The purpose as explained by the devs is in a gank or multi-fight scenario where people will throw out attacks without focusing on every opponent. If conquerer goes into full guard too often he will get guardbroken almost every time by their opponent adapting, and BP will be no different. Good luck bulwarking everything your opponent throws if they can just feint and get guaranteed damage on you instead.

[@bavier6355]

In the "mythbuster" video it just showed how ridiculous it is. They bulwark countered jump attacks and since the counter literally makes you invulnerable they survived catapults.

[@Mr.Ford3350]

"Flip the World" video coming soon, no doubt

[@jamesleliveld9957]

It’s not really ridiculous considering rolling away from a jump attack is far better bc at the least put ur opponent to like 2 hp.

[@afterpasthours7504]

As for the external blocking shenanigans, this also applies to Conq’s full block and any wide sweeping characters, if the attack hits your shield you get your unblockable counter regardless of whether it’s aiming for you.

[@tendericed2749]

So it’s a great tool to punish mindless spam. I have found a new main. Consoleplayer btw.

[@fashionsuckman4652]

Oh ya

[@captainnyet9855]

"It's a great tool to counter basically every hero that relies on bashes" ftfy. Basically they took the second best offense in the game (Conqueror) buffed it (13 to 20dmg confirm) and combined it with the best anti-bash defense in the game as well as the best crushing counters in the game and the best dodges in the game (0ms startup on dodge-block)

[@abualborz]

Yes, for console maybe. BUT high lvl pc, there is no spam , mindless or not, u will get parry. This mechanic will destroy the hole game as its now anyways, all turtling around , becaus the punishes r just too heavy, and NOW u will have extra reason to turtle , becaus no matter what u do, light, heavy ,bash u will get punish .

[@tendericed2749]

Mini 83 I think different about this. If you choose to turtle against BP you probably just get bashed to death. This hero should encourage people to start thinking and planning as they play against him. High level clearly will be different, because they know what they do, whenever they fight.

[@abualborz]

@@tendericed2749 Well, me when i see conq, if i have raider, i play the fast dodge to gb and i can puniish the shield bash of conq very easy. If i ,m orochi I have NOTHING to do. So i will turtle and hope to not get a person which only shieldbash+light all time, so i can parry his light or deflect . If you think its the problem of the game mechanic. In everyfight game, u have something which u can punish with somethingelse. IF you actually think , you can stay there and shield +light bash everyone if you can block and parry and react to attacks of enemy The same with zone of glad, ok people dodge it, but stay there and do it 20 times, u will be successful at least 10 time and if you play vs a orochi , u can win just by doing 1 thing . Its the reason why conq. is first place in .DATA . People just try to not be an ASS and enjoy the game while they play a lit bit fair. BUT there r kids which only want to win and the game give them what they want. Reason why the game exist , its just the fact of having fun ( not turtling and do the same one thing to bring the HP of opponent to 0 ) If u see the game itself, its just broken . And as we go further , get broken more. At this point i have to add that i have 350 rep and about 2000h gameplay on pc. What i,m talking is just about people i play with and myself. Not console, and not players which play with brain off, pressing Light, heavy all time.Anyways i preordered and will play the shit of the new hero, but it doensmean that this mechanic will give turtles 1 more reason to turtle more.

So this is why i kept failing getting into the stance and why i kept getting interrupted. I had to block so it was faster.

[@turbaecarissimus9752]

Damn, this hero is actually really cool! I might love it, with my only gripe being how quickly he can activate the counter. It seems really fast, but if he is vulnerable after the counter, like on a miss for example, then maybe it will be balanced in that way. Actually, thinking about it now, I may have a problem with the 100% damage reduction during the flip as well as the follow up punish. That seems like a bit much. Those points withstanding, this is one of the more fleshed out introductions of a new mechanic that I've seen yet. If the Nuxia's traps had been this well thought out and executing it would have been amazing.

[@AlexHyena1]

I think the lack of recovery on regularly exiting is a bit much because unless the attack applies immediate pressure to flip, BP can just exit and counter any gb feint or just block.

I'm super excited for this character even more than I was already. I've wanted a sword and shield knight for so long, and I'm glad that not only is he not another Conqueror or light spammy character, but that he has unique mechanics that can really make him stand out in team fights.

[@doritoman2593]

500 ms bash that confirms 20 dmg and is delayable. Also has low recovery. It is functionally identical to Conqueror's, except it even does more dmg.

[@alessandragonzales8190]

Bort's bash is stronger than Conq's and according to Mege, can be delayed the exact same way. It can't be dodge GB punished if the opponent is tagged by a light, and his OOS pressure is on par with or even better than Conq's and Warden's. It's brutal. Ironically, despite having a bigger shield, BP's not as strong defensively as Conq or Warden lacking side-dodge bash punishes and having a weaker O/S parry (and lacking Conq's other O/S options) but offensively BP seems to be on their level or greater, especially once the opponent's OOS.

One question remains for me, as I cannot really tell it from the footage: If you get attacked when u preform a bulwark counter, do you skip the animation of the first one, starting a new, and restart the auto counter and invulnerable frames, like how u auto parry attack when u get hit in parry animation, or the first counter animation plays out no matter what and external attackas, just get flipped "magically" without animation?

I’m kinda worried about the Bulwark stance transition tbh. That simple flip will make any type of follow up (minus Guard Break of course) super risky. I really hope this dude doesn’t end up forcing all match-ups to only use single attacks and never follow up in fear of the death flip.

[@edwardspence8946]

This is really helpful thank you, but could one bp flip another bp, then could the 30dmg swipe be flipped by another bp positioned somewhere else?

[@fkkfreeze]

yes to all of those

[@iagam3r]

can we just look at something real fast in a freeze frame? tough as nails, yet as a heavy, only possesses 6 1/2 bars of health. thats like shugoki health pre-rework. this boi moves like LB hits like JJ but has less health than shugoki with the best defensive option in the game? da flying fubbernuck is this?

[@NightingaleBrawlhalla]

Black prior is probably going to be belittled with nerf requests guaranteed within 2 hours of it releasing they're gonna be people who want him nerfed. He seems amazing especially in 4v4.

[@Dad-EE]

So your telling me that I can finally do something about getting ganked? And not just wait to die while my team clears B or is off just emote spamming the enemy?

[@Lovelykochi]

Won’t getting full block after a normal block be really Annoying to deal with in 4v4?

[@br2nd]

That's where gb reads come in he is hero literally designed to beat spam and ganks all this guy will need to do is block 1 attack in a spam happy gank bashes or not with the flip It give zero ability to punshed in any way people will have to think to win now

[@spicketspaghet7773]

@@br2nd Yeah, but what if it's a team of these guys. You couldn't touch em. If you gb one the other will just get a free bash or heavy on you.

[@ElliotTPham]

Perfect. He looks cool, he’s something we all wanted, and he’s tailor made for every singles thing I find annoying. I’m playing him a lot.

[@NightingaleBrawlhalla]

Wait would it be possible to counter OOL (Out of lock) attacks say if someones chasing you and they hit an attack usually they can land 2 hits on you.. but if he goes into bullwark stance could he counter that second hit?

[@avery0307]

Can you Bulwark counter an enemy Black Prior's Bulwark counter attack? Let's say players red1 and red2 versus blue1. red1 attacks blue1 blule1 catches red1 with Bulwark counter During blue1's attack for Bulwark counter, red2 activates Bulwark counter. What will happen?

[@rocco6960]

This move is too op... I hate the new black prior Turtle Meta

[@wyvern5890]

Fuck off with your bitching

[@bobdabuilder6618]

Omg you didn't explain shit about how to use the new counter

[@kadiboudacz5500]

Exactly

[@Ty-mu2on]

Finally I won't have to deal with orochi, berserker, and Wu Lin light spam on console anymore. I've almost quit multiple times just because of Glad's defense and how bad his offense is now compared to the new heroes and reworked heroes. I finally found a character I'm interested in and will most likely main until Glad gets his rework years from now.

[@ToelixLP]

I hear everybody crying : Thats OP!! But i think when people learn how the counter works it`ll be treated like an aramusha all guard. The Mains will do fine and it's not a spam = win move.

[@wererobo]

I attempted to do the Bulwark counter and got hit twice by Cent's heavy full charge, twice. Even when I'm already in Bulwark stance, I hit light button as soon as the indicator flicked, and as Cent flying toward me, and still got hit. Is there a vulnerable window or is there something I misunderstand?

[@thatdidact7893]

I’m just worried he’s going to be really unfun to fight against. His bulwark counter isn’t necessarily OP, but almost his entire kit centers around it, which seems like it’s going to make him pretty bland.

[@bolomono89]

I still thinking that they should sllow the Bulwark stance and counter for the heavy shielded ones, I mean, its a question of technique to flip your opponent with your shield (I have done that with a round viking shield) so, they should have that with a variation (a stab finisher for Warlord and a flail bash for conqueror).

[@Zracon]

Don't know why but I can't seem to interrupt players combos with bulwark or counter. I can't do it quick enough. Dunno what I'm doing wrong. I just keep getting attacked.

[@AdMortey]

He really shouldn’t be able to flip off of clips. Imagine throwing a zone during a gank, having a bp to your right flip you, and then taking full damage from the counter and at least one other person’s heavy.

[@alexxswx]

In the video shmolty did about black prior there was a moment where he flipped a guy but didn't get the damage

[@flipsietheflippingdogofdoo480]

What if while you're flipping someone and with the sweeping punish after you hit another vortiger in full block. Will you get flipped from your punish? You said if you can get hit, you can flip them.

[@reespect6058]

God you nerf warriors are just garbage at the game. This looks like the most balanced character coming out so far. Sure he's a little rough around the edges and some things will need fixing, but overall he's really balanced

[@BeyonDeath78]

does this work against warlords and warden's bashes? dumb question probably but yeh

[@sicklyaura]

I randomly stumbled upon this. I obviously was going to watch, as I'm a black prior main. So this gives me other things to do as black prior.

[@Batyrai]

Another superior European Knight.. Ahahaha just fuckin delete this game already.. isnt it obvious ?

[@hhgreg100]

Been playing BP and I think that post flip/ sweep attack there’s a lag before going back to neutral. I’ve been taking on a couple players and they’ve gotten an execution on me after the flip sweep

[@Ithmari]

Can't wait to try him out in doms man keep up the great content! :)

[@kisfexy]

100% dmg reduction during bulwark counter and counter attack? Come on Ubi, don't say it is balanced...

[@rahstarfighter]

Fun fact, bulwark counter works on enemies and corpses that have been launched. From executed corpses to shugoki ball. Limits so far seem to be that it must be an enemy and it needs to be something that would hit you in some manner, even if all it does is stagger.

[@manray5140]

I still don't understand what triggers when he will flip you. Will he flip me if I attack him during his bulwark stance or does he have to do something special

[@gavinhunt4024]

I think it’ll be a better tool in 4s rather than duels or 1v1s in general fucking rip the target switching zone spamming raiders who just sit there collecting revenge until it’s time to spam 50 damage attacks and not being able to counter it

[@danielmeyer3847]

So what characters all have 100% damage reduction on their bread and butter moves? Just him? Oh sounds good I guess.

[@UziGameGP]

Can you bullwark counter Law's shove after block?
