I spent 10 hours playing Sohei in For Honor to prove he's perfectly balanced

if they nerf sohei’s gimmick a bit and change the damage of his normal attacks, i hope they do one little thing: they should add stun to his top heavy finisher with the hammer- his other heavies have properties, and for god’s sake he’s smacking you in the head with a mallet, wouldn’t that daze someone??

[@ImCallMeLeo]

Sohei is bad there’s no disputing that, not every character should be good EVERYWHERE but every character should be a viable pick in every situation specifically they should be able to succeed through enough effort. I personally feel Sohei should focus more around his souls rather than his seven force strike his base damage with that specific weapon could increase with the gathering of a soul

[@precursoryt]

I think he’s still playable in 4s just requires a lot of effort. I like the idea of his damage increasing with how many souls he has, could definitely be a feat if nothing else

[@ryuhadouken2722]

He in my opinion needs more hyper armor. His damage input overall is decent. I would say what they should’ve done is have what centurion has which is a heavy, charged heavy, and charged heavy unblockable. All 3 heavies can be soft fiented into a GB which is this characters strongest ability.

[@JackPustak]

Let's hope they'll keep on adding characters with unique gameplay or gimmicks like him.

[@precursoryt]

Definitely, can’t fault the creativity on this one

[@chandlergomez1190]

God those changes for him would be so amazing, I love sohei so much but fuck he isn’t viable at all in 4s, so the ability to access seven force strike with any amount of soul charges and buffing his damage a bit would be such a great change for him

[@mr.goochthethird1222]

Give him light heavy chain, and tweak his gb to only 2 weapons on guard break rather than 3, I want to enjoy more landing heavy rather than light spamming after one gb heavy

[@ChangedCauseYT-HateFoxNames]

Let's be honest with ourselves her. The gb part and stacks gained from it isn't the problem. The 90 damage attack that is easily accessible AND once gained, never decays is *THE* MAJOR problem. Why should I be *heavily* punished for my teammates blunder 5m prior? It takes just *one* heavy parry, just *one* hit stun or a guardbreak and I might as well jump off the cliff with my 5 left over health because at that point I might as well just be in the respawn menu.

[@precursoryt]

Idk I think light heavy would be tricky if the heavy was unblockable

[@mr.goochthethird1222]

@@precursoryt the damage values are low enough to land more often than other unblocakable characters, so he would have more of an excuse to let them fly, in turn giving him pressure without ruining his kit 👍

His most optimal gamemode is defintely brawls in 1v1 1v1 situations, you get rewarded for your skillful kill if you get at least a few flames and killing your first opponent and if you have a bad teammate it makes it an easier carry and leaves people toxic haha (i get carried by my friend who plays sohei) but other then that he is a pain to play but i like underdogs, but your rebalance idea seems as a great idea!

[@precursoryt]

I think brawls is probably the mode where he has the most potential. Thinking of it he would be terrible in 1v1v1 if they bring it back

The 'weapon master' with seven weapons that primarily uses a single weapon, even down to his executions.

I was extremely disappointed when none of his executions involved any of his other weapons

[@davidwilkinson4634]

He still uses them most of the time... what??

[@rbirdhurst]

@davidwilkinson4634 He uses them for his light light, heavy heavy, GB, and zone finishers, which I am personally fine with. I was more disappointed that they didn't implement any of them into his executions

[@A13_Mk1]

​@@rbirdhurst i agree, i hope that hero fests will give some cool and unique executions, they could definetly make some really brutally cool stuff with all of sohei's weaponry.

[@precursoryt]

I think how they implemented it was fairly impressive for how old and restrictive the game is.

[@welshcrusade9837]

One thing I don't like is how slow his opener heavies are. They're all 900ms, with a very late feint. Either speed them up to 800, or my preffered change, very late hyperarmour on heavy openers, kinda like what Jiang Jun's got

[@precursoryt]

I definitely catch people out occasionally with how slow the wind up is

[@cestlavie5063]

I know Ubi said they couldn't program it well, but I do wish we could've had soul scaling for the impale and the 2nd/3rd feats. Impale would be 5 + 15 per soul, to keep the 95 damage, 2 could've been 25 per soul (one pip of health per soul), and I don't know the math on the 3 to detail how it'd work.

Finally back at for honor

[@Bedbro23]

The dr disrespect image was wild

[@Hazza385]

I think he should stick with awful damage and keep the one shot how it is cuz of the 3rd feat. You can have normal damage just by not using the one shot and I think it’s fair. His second feat should change imo. It should heal for the amount of souls u have instead of needing all 6. This means that if he doesn’t have all of them he can survive getting ganked a bit longer. He has 6 bars of health so they should make it that 1 soul heals 1 bar

[@precursoryt]

Not a bad idea tbf

That is a nice boulder

[@Lucas-st1xq]

just allow mixing heavy with light and maybe some extra damage to his strong finishers and he's good to go. Access the seven force strike before the 7 souls seems good on paper but then people will rarelly fill it up to 7. And maybe 2 points of extra damage to his GB hits

[@precursoryt]

I would keep the ‘uncharged’ damage low to incentivise building the one shot up

I dont know what it is but i find sohei so fun. I feel like he forces me to play better because hes not great in a lot of situations

[@theinsane833]

His chain needs to be better, allow him to chain any spear attack into soul attack, aka if he throws heavy into soul heavy he can heavy again into a spear heavy that can be charged up but unlike hito and Shugoki it would be a short charge kinda like cents and gain armor once fully charged, his in chain spear lights would be slashes with somewhat of a hitbox kinda like bps but no CC and they are slower then his soul lights with no properties but are enhanced

I think Sohei is balanced because he deals very little damage normally, he doesn't have great defense, his heavies are slow, but if you play that weak character well enough, you can one shot after building up your souls.

[@Papa_Guacamole]

Sohei is so gimmicky that it made me wish for him being standarized. Now that I think about it, I should just get good.

Why the faq cant sohei get a 7 point strike off a wallsplat. Makes 0 fking sence. Edit; And i was also thinking about how maybe you can get a 7point off on lower requirements for much lower damage but lower the speed of the bash by 100ms so its not constant. Then give him a light heavy so he can actually do mixups without being so predictable.

[@overloadedninja4208]

@@precursoryt I thought the same as literally everyone else who’s played him. He’s slow, clunky, low damage, but he’s actually not. He has an infinite chain like Shaolin or medjay and it’s fast and faintable, as long as you get 1 guard break just use the heavy chain cuz it’s harder to hit all his heavies. He’s a high skill character like lawbringer so get used to parrying and you won’t have to solely rely on gaurdbreaks and honestly it’s not hard to get his 1 shot. I genuinely don’t think he needs a chain. He struggles in some aspects but the character isn’t bad you’re not really supposed to be good in every aspect, that’s the recipe for a broken character. He’s actually fine especially I put time into this character and I’m actually good at the game so I don’t rely on cheap gimmicks to win a fight. I see him as a cool new character and I think people shouldn’t complain that he’s bad. He’s not even hard to fight against. If you can beat a turtle lawbringer or shugoki it’s the same thing. Fighting as him just takes some time and practice and I’ll keep preaching that

Hello there 👋

[@pjadtron9415]

If you have 2 sohei's on your team then you know you're gonna lose, he's just so dog shit and if a new player is on him it's just nothing but pain when fighting over hero's. I myself enjoy playing sohei, but frankly you're handicapping yourself big time when playing him compared to if someone picked Hito or orochi per example.

[@precursoryt]

I guess it depends on what you like, if everyone played hito and Orochi we’d be in trouble

[@QuaversYT]

For one of the first times, A new character isn’t the best character in the game for a few weeks. If anything Sohei needs a buff. Lower the damage of his gimmick to an acceptable level like 30 to 50 and increase his base heavy damage and allow him to combo lights into heavies and heavies into lights.
