i feel like at the moment, nokk is just a worse version of dokkaebi in every single way other than being able to use her gadget longer. Nokk only disables herself being visible on cams while walking, but dokkaebi disables all cams from the defender side, thus making her whole team not visible while her call is active on top of revealing every enemy location with sound queues, and even more, being able to hack into defender cams

[@esheep8697]

Not true I'd say nokk is a worse cav I wouldn't even compare her to dok. Dok can hack cams call defenders and use a dmr with a machine pistol secondary. Nokk has one of the worst smgs with a deagle and an ability that only allows her to slow clear a building and with this nerf it'll take her even longer. Yeah her gadget works for 30 seconds now but you also have to sit and wait 30 seconds for it to recharge. Waiting in 1 spot for 30 seconds compared to 20 seconds opens you up to being discovered even easier than before. Without silent step she's basically useless becuase if you move while someone is on cams while you're waiting for your skill to recharge then your whole sneaking around didn't matter in the first place. Reduce her sound by 50% or something and then maybe she'll be a playable character again. Cavs sound is reduced by like 80% so I think 50 would be fine.

Amazing video keep it up! One thing I do want to point out is that guard break is the animation where your shield goes off to the side. An example would be getting hit with an Ella mine. This change makes it so that even if they barely hit you with the impact grenade you're still going to throw your shield to the side!

Guard break is when the shield is knocked away as if you've melee'd it. When you're hit by fire or an impact the shield gets knocked back giving an opening to shoot them, that is Guard Break. Suppression is still the sprint denial via bullet.

[@aviol8067]

"Guard break" does NOT refer suppression, rather, it refers to the animation shield operators undergo when the shield is knocked to the side, revealing their legs to be shot. This occurs with melees and explosions. The patch was intended to, and does, allow impacts to still cause shields to undergo this animation despite their lower damage.

[@Dominic102402]

Lesion losing impacts is krazy he was a good counter to shields

[@drjamaymay405]

he still is. the counter is the gu mines, impacts were just a bonus.

[@drjamaymay405]

@@Dominic102402 lesion is the 3rd most played defender. Either shields are giga broken or you are not properly evaluating their power level.

[@Alecfisher01]

Guard break is when the shield for a brief period gets knocked away from the front of a shield op, it happens when being meleed or from being damaged by explosives.

[@Miruq]

I’m pretty sure guard break is the amount of damage from explosions that the shield user needs to take to have that “guard break” animation. so if an impact grenade hits for 20 nothing will happen, but if it hits for 30 then the animation will play, exposing their body

[@ClipCrew]

If guard break is not referring to suppression, it could mean the amount of damage that causes the shield to go to the side, when it looks like you’re about to throw it at the ememy.

[@tmoney1487]

Guard break just means how far back the shield operator recoils when you melee them or explode them. So like when you melee clash and her shield goes back so you can shoot her legs, thats a guard break.

[@collinfant5146]

Gaurd break is when the shielder throws the shield to the side which allows you to shoot them. It's only caused by gadgets, explosives and meleeing a shielder who's been suppressed.

[@CafeSora]

guard break is when your shield flys up and to the side giving people an opening to shoot your body, the more explosive dmg the larger the opening is

[@tacgenesis2356]

I think guard break is when a shield reacts to explosives and melee damage received. I think an impact will have a higher effect on the shields flinch (guard) similar to that ofna c4 or Kali round.

[@user-lm1hn1oe3t]

The guard break effect is when the shield gets hit to the side. Like when you knife them

[@mmkanashiro]

idk how nokk cooldown works now but if i understood this right it wasn't a nerf at the cooldown, you can activate and deactivate hel anytime, if you use all the 30 secs you could use it again after a few seconds even if only recharged a bit of the total time, it only buffed the time limit, the recharge wasn't changed

[@drjamaymay405]

minor buff yeah.

[@fbdi]

They should give her emps but keep her flashes

[@ParagonQuille]

13:00 i believe the Guard Break refers to the way that the shield swings to the side. because their guard is being broken

[@The.Kenway]

I remember Pirate Software talking about balancing & bringing the worst things up rather than crushing down the best & it rings whenever Ubi bring out patch notes

[@jawndoekck]

Most of the operators on PC are within plus or minus two percent win rate. Honestly Ubi might want to chill on the nerfs. Honestly it's frustrating that their nerf/buff decisions are based on the popularity of operators when their win loss ratio shows that are not OP. It's like Ubi doesn't want anybody to actually have fun.

[@user-ol4oc1zq6d]

I agree, at the end of the day theyre all gonna be rubish and not fun to use

[@YMan-zo5kg]

Yea lesion isn’t anything crazy, he’s just a super flexible pick that can fill multiple roles which is great for solo queue. The only defender gadgets that are an actual problem are fenrir and solis. Also the only attacker gadgets that are an actual problem are jackal dokk and ying. Edit: actually Monty and blitz after shield rework might be too much also.

[@Nightfeather94]

Guard break is when an explosion force your sheild away from you similar to an operator melee attack.

[@mainlookalike2247]

I feel a good Iana change would be make her kind of like Mirage from Apex. Instead of taking control of the clone it would just mimic the last action done. The clone could also "shoot" a tracker if a defender shoots it face to face. Clone can be set like an Alibi as well to make a defender think your leaning on an angle.

[@acola]

I was so used to looking for the cloaked lesion mines I never see the uncloaked ones. When they were cloaked they stuck out like a sore thumb.

[@justincarrington4157]

Guard break is when your shield opens up after getting Melle'd or blown up. I also think Fenrir should be like a reloadable Ella or something

[@ItzViscy]

5:35 Honestly with how the AI bots work in firing range and in the training game mode I wonder if we could see Iana’s rework to be like how Mirage from Apex Legends holograms are where you ping and they move to that location but having them be able to at least jump over obstacles and when shot give you a enemy ping similar to Alibi. I feel like this rework would be really interesting for her and would make a lot of sense. They could have it to where you can choose to control her Hologram or let it follow a set ping course.

[@alexm6715]

I feel like the last option is the best. I think the mirage concept is cool but you cannot sacrifice giving away Iana’s ability to control the hologram because the game is already so defender based attacking ops can’t afford to lose more drone alternatives

[@drjamaymay405]

infinite drones is fine. it's not super interesting, but i think its fine. she wont be meta ever (becasue of her ability), but that's okay.

[@hbgaming3315]

12:20, they're talking about the sway effect on the shield when you take an Impact head on. It had an effect of pushing your shield to the side as though you were melee'd, of course ignoring Monty when full extended. They had to turn down the number as the impact grenades would no longer be able to even meet the threshold to guard break a shield operator.

[@hbgaming3315]

This also implies that a single EED can full swing a shield. I wonder if Zofia's explosive rounds would guard break Clash.

[@viablezombie9419]

nokk needs one of 2 things to be worth playing, 1.give her back her version of silent step (made her quiet but not as much as cav) 2.make her IMMUNE to all electrical gadgets with her ability (sensors,cams,traps) we don't have a sneak option on attack and if feels wrong, why play nokk when i can play iq,twitch,brava or dok and get rid of cams or steal them entirely. nokk cant be seen by cams WHEN WALKING iq can see all electronic devices and ping them for the team brava can steal any electronic device twitch is safer brava (trades the steal for more range and not needing to be near, also silent and can destroy non electric devices like gu's and mirras, i say this as a brava main and i think brava is the better pick in most cases but i love playing twitch as well) dok restricts all cam sight and makes a sound que on all defense ops while being able to let attack use all defense cams with all that in mind why play nokk?

[@KimiHeBaStTSBS]

Nøkk’s Hel needs to be proximity resistant (Kapkan, Ela, Melusi etc) + silent step, now that would be the perfect buff for her. And make it 20 seconds again and 30 cooldown, whatever.. Just make her viable, not situational.

[@drjamaymay405]

playing against a nokk is painful, i don't know if her being viable is healthy. at least vigil gives a warning, nokk completely fools any camera. as long as her ability is relatively unchanged, i don't see how she can be buffed.

[@CompleteRandomness-ne9nn]

@@drjamaymay405 The problem isnt that she herself is weak-- it's that she is inferior to Dokk in nearly every way, and is thus weak in comparison. She needs a gadget that separates her from Dokk, without becoming overpowered.

@@CompleteRandomness-ne9nn I don't understand. Dokk is an info op, nokk is more of an entry. They both interact with cams but I wouldn't say they overlap in play style. Dokk is more similar to a roam clearer like lion or jackal. Nokk feels closer to iana or ash.

[@CompleteRandomness-ne9nn]

@@drjamaymay405 Still, both interact with cams to make it so you could enter a room unnoticed.

[@Somethinginmycomputer]

Imma go full Reddit on this one I "think"- NO, I """""think"""""" the purpose of making Nøkk's gadget longer is to force her to slow down. Since You use the silent step to approach on a consistent speed + avoiding cameras, You mainly feed from flanks and her work is to quietly flank defenders but quicker than others, now that silent step is gone, You need to crouch to make less noise while using HEL to make the same you did before but slower. Is so dumb that they nerfed the stealth in a stealth character so my new stealth go-to is Maverick.

[@erodoujinshilover2811]

Here are my opinions At first I didliked the Iana change but than after hearing from Kudos I changed my mind because mute is like one of the best defenders right now. Lesion hits are great, I dont know why people think lesion is not super powerful when he is one of the best defenders he has so much he can do and his gun is crazy good. Oryx is not buffed enough there is no reason for his dashes through walls to damage to him or daze him. For one you dont have your gun up for a full half a second and you make such a large sound que but on top of that they want to make you unable to see anything and make you take five damage, it is way too much for the little roll he can play especially in high rank when you arent trolling. I absolutely agree that Nokk isnt being picked because of her gadget, for one it is so solo focused if you want to deny cameras just play IQ, Twitch, or brava. You can't know when there is cameras except for the points you get and you have to pay so much attention to your time you cant take gun fights, plus no one talks about how bad her gun is in long range gun fights especially with Acog, her SMG is already mediocre compared to others. Nokk has literally nothing and that is why no one plays her. Azami changes are fine and still make her kibas considerable shotting them was kinda out of the question for a lot of guns but now you can do it, it will just make you vunerable and take time but will be more feasible. Upset about no Solis or Fenrir hits. Jackal should stop being bannedbas much in ranked especially when you take into account his downsides. And Sens's gadget is still clunky and needs its own individual outline of where it will go for its whole route. Also can we make Iq's gadget less clunky

[@sonysdad4709]

I wonder if because they lowered the radius of impacts that it’ll make it impossible to make walk through rotates with one impact

Guard break is when your shield moves to the side for a sec because impacts have less damage they wouldn’t have done that anymore now they do

[@micjmic277]

The reason wamai is so high is because the combination of the acog/gun/and 2speed on controller it's alot harder to recover if u miss a shot to the head, wamai's speed makes it impossible 2 recover in time especially three armored attackers and I'm pretty sure hes glitched bc I've died from completely missed shots a foot away from my head.

[@krillissueonshrimpment]

Wamai has good guns, and is all around a decent pick when used right. But I prefer either a 590 pump or .357 with my new black ice The guard break thing is when they hit you with a bomb and it swings the shield out since you did kinda get hit with a bomb, and it lets you get shot.

Personally, I think it’s stupid that they nerfed impact grenades at all, but I suppose it would be wrong of me to complain about defense getting a nerf, especially when it directly helps me even though it wasn’t necessarily intended to.

[@General_Vaderz]

Well cav is still around so...

[@bryanshirkhanloo4554]

I think people gravitated to wamai after warden lost his 1.5, mostly because both weapons are headshot machines. Literally everyone who played warden now picks Wamai or Melusi because you’d rarely see melusi prior to her having a scope.

[@Chill_Lynx]

As a Nøkk main A Oryx main And trying to main sens Nøkk changes are good and not at the same time, I'll definitely be able to benefit from this change but the cool down should NOT have been touched, plus they need to make her not get detected by prox alarms PLEASE Oryx change... is a change, im not gonna get like any value off this... Sens... thank you

[@michaelblevins1651]

I think him breaking talon shields is great Means that OSA can be punished for stupid shit

[@Chill_Lynx]

@michaelblevins1651 that is true,it just seems a bit risky to hard rush osa shields... but who knows, I'll try it out and it might be good, we'll have to see 🤷‍♂️

[@drjamaymay405]

perhaps you misunderstood the nokk change. 30 seconds of use time, meaning if you use it all it takes 30 seconds to refill. the rate of use and rate of recharge are the same.

[@fino9568]

I play wamai on ps5 because of his gun (2.5 op) and you can make holes with his secondary , plus impacts/ magnet for stuns

[@jameswade4816]

Wamai on console with extended barrel on mp5k = 0 recoil + magnified A along with the 2 speed 2 armor pretty decent to roam with

[@Theesaladshooter69]

guard break is when the shield moves exposing the body I assume

[@grantmarsh327]

They didn’t “miss the mark” on Nøkk, as they’re fully aware her gadget sucks rn. They’ve stated it in the past, while reffering to the grenade rework as a “nail in the coffin”. They even stated that they are working on a better change for her gadget, this is just a short term change so she isn’t as shit in the meantime. As for the “guard break”, this refers to when a shield is hit with explosion damage or melee’d, and the shield is pushed back and to the side- hence “breaking their guard” the historical term for getting past an opponents shield in battle. Maybe you just missed the mark there idk

[@jashiinobadii]

Sens getting one more ROU is a change I need! I like playing Sens and three ROUs felt lacking.

[@bradychapman5645]

As someone who’s been playing blitz and Monty since I started the game over a year ago, I’m happy to see these impact nade and lesion changes, even if it doesn’t end up being healthy for the game, I don’t really care, it makes blitz not instantly die to 2 impacts, and that’s a good change in my book. But Nokk needs her silent step back, her gadget just needs to go back to 12 sec duration with that silent step like she used to be.

[@solarplagu6023]

As per usual kudos uploads another banger keep up the good work my man

[@justinh4411]

Surprised azami isn’t high up in use feel like everyone uses her shotgun

[@DJ_GrimDark]

I think guard break is when the shield pops to the side

[@rafa1355]

Keep it up man

[@williamheath7058]

"seems that they are getting the hang of operator changes" Reads NOKK patch notes: -_-

[@pekka5832]

iana loosing flashes for emps is a pretty bad nerf imo, rn she is great for gaining control by first getting info then using flashes to play of that info, i also have a hard time seeing her gadget synergycing with the emp since you mostly need info from the otherside of the wall to use effectivly, and for it helping her against mute the short duration of the emps would mean she has to be close and thus be really vunerable when sending in the gemini

[@Ncomyn8]

Guard break is when the shield swings out of the way

[@antzeballa]

I main iana I don’t know how I feel about this change cuz I like stuns but emp nades r nice

[@malikthemaster8264]

The lesion nerf was not needed with all the buffs to shields he was incredible counter, plus now solis is not only losing her prep drone hunt she’s getting nerfed on the diffuser denial from below if the person has more than 80 health they won’t even die from the nades and then if someone else picks up the diffuser it’ll be way harder

[@alexmaurice4274]

I’m glad the lesion didn’t get completely destroyed. Him doing damage with the Gus immediately is the only time I enjoy using him. Those two or three or so years of him not doing damage upon stepping on the gu I didn’t enjoy him much

[@korbanquinn4490]

nokk needs her silent step back and let her sneak by kapkan traps and proxy mines

[@splatclan907]

I wonder what they could do to make Oryx a more viable pick… maybe if he could reinforce hatches from below that would be sick lol

[@thegreatpapyrus2306]

That would actually kinda be crazy. Like, imagine being able to reinforce roof hatches.

[@spartusvng]

I thought guard break is when you melee the shield and force it off to the side so you have a small window to shoot the shield op? I couldbe wrong though

[@rowanc51]

Guard break isnt suppression. Guard break is the animation where the shield user flinches, exposing feet.

[@spencerwasson5877]

XIM for console is the reason why Wamai is the most picked and Jackal is the most banned. The MP5K Acog gives them the easiest time to bean heads and they ban Jackal because he is the most viable counterplay.

[@spoopysun]

Wamai being top on console is because his gun is just so good this season that I even play him quite a bit but also I’ve noticed a lot of not most xim players I encounter love to run him as they have mobility plus a gun that absolutely lasers so they can just roll people so quickly

[@alaskatlf99]

Just rework nokk to have a localized mute effect, say somewhere between 5-10 meters gadgets are disabled and then have the same reactivation cooldown as normal once she either leaves the area or her gadget expires.

[@grimanima]

Horrible idea. That'd make her better than Thatcher at counter wall denial, especially if the wall is outside that you are trying to breach

[@alaskatlf99]

@@grimanima valid, completely spaced that.😅

[@rexss90]

9:18 Oryx going through reinforced walls would the most insane buff ever and I'm yet I'd be down with that for like an april fools joke or something one year 😂

[@grapeR6]

As someone who plays Montagne I was definitely excited to see a nerf to impacts

[@GTSViperman]

Only explosions break the guard and weapons only suppress right?

[@luga4460]

still no update on mozzie, my fav op last season and now he has a disadvantage in every gun fight

[@RSavv0]

main reason wamai is so high on the console list is first his gun has no recoil second he has a great ability and last but not least hes a 2 speed with impacts and hes viable on every map and site

[@vermi9162]

How to fix nokk= make her immune to sensors and stolas while using her ability it will be nice since you can use her ability while droning

[@MrCar-Landon]

Imagine if Oryx could charge through re-enforced walls

[@YMan-zo5kg]

That could grief your team so hard

[@korbanquinn4490]

do you think a good buff to oryx would be to let him rush through reinforced walls but make him take 50 damage doing so and he can only do it once so you cant just doc every time you run through. if he was able to do so he could completely retake site in a plant scenario.

[@jgd5ygdyhcr6]

Whens the update releasing?
