Is Nerfed NASTY PLOT DARKRAI still a Huge Problem?! | Pokemon Unite

[@ReorgeOfTheRungle]

Darkrai's damage has significantly dropped but his CC is still problematic

[@MewEnjoyer]

Darkrai is still a menace tbh with sleep

[@piercemat331]

Can he do that to Sableye special and Dragonite melee?

[@gudrunlourinho4688]

Still broken, just not as broken.

[@UnhelpfulEngineer]

I still find it funny how legendary pokemon just decide to participate in this game of defeating enemies and scoring balls of energy

[@ToBadNoSad]

They nerf the wrong part of its kit, it wasn’t really the damage that was the problem it was its cc and survivability that was the main issue. They should’ve made more glassier and gave it huge amount of less cc

[@BaileBirds]

Honestly it feels bearable now but definitely still top tier

[@モモンガー様]

Still my favorite moment when the leaf archer bird & spionase water lizard got beat up in darkrai's domain expansion

[@yahata5699]

I hate that they made dark void that hit multiple targets made a point and click move.

[@GxEnjoyer]

Still broken They need to nerf so many things in Darkrai to have him balanced Have Dark Void be a 5s cd skill or not make it a freaking point and click AOE skill with a stun Nasty plot charges should replenish slower, like Ceruledge's Flame Charge Sleep effect is ok, that's the idea of the mon, but lower the damage or increase the cd Make unite move have a longer cd, even tanks can be koed easily if they get targeted

[@Sohamparkhe24]

I agree abt unite though but I don’t think damage should be nerfed cuz he will be useless they can make him squishy so it will be balanced ig

[@GxEnjoyer]

@@Sohamparkhe24 he is already squishy but you don't feel it because either he bursts you before you can get close or he keeps dodging and ccing you to death So either have damage and stun, have damage and mobility, have damage and be easy to play but not all of them together

[@MedhaosFEH]

I don’t think the cooldown is necessarily the issue - it’s more the debuff duration. It’s a 4s cooldown that applies marks for 5s. This means that with Blue buff alone and Lv 10, you get Dark Void’s cooldown massively which makes it really easy to use Dark Void to sleep someone again. Darkrai should only mark you for like 3s. This will force Darkrai to be much more aggressive and make it inherently riskier to play, because right now, it can play hit and run like a mage - which is dumb

[@GxEnjoyer]

@@MedhaosFEH that's another good option Yet again timi devs and Randumbs think a 0.5s higher cd on DV made Darkrai balanced lol

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

@@GxEnjoyerI suggest you look at Darkrai’s stats compared to other speedsters and then come back and call him squishy. In fact, compare Darkrai to an all-Arounder like Charizard.

[@srikarpb2041]

it's still annoying to deal with

[@piercemat331]

Dakrai gets the Venusaur treatment.

[@CM_684]

Today I tried shadow claw darkrai after the patch, and its still shit

[@UltimateRaven]

Yeah, the damage is there but now it needs a cast time reduction

[@JTtheOctoling]

You need to be able to cast it while moving

[@nova1153]

The first cast needs way more range. It's a single stick and if you fail the first , there goes your cooldown

[@yashu_gamer_18]

What's problem Cris? 🙂

[@T.O-Officiel]

Darkrai was, is, and will be the best 4ever !!

[@Pika_hunter]

"Was" Cap

[@GxEnjoyer]

Na that's Zacian

[@Quagsire-e3w]

Darkrai is best but Playerbase isn't

[@yashrajsharma440]

That sleep is what makes this pokemon fking torture for no reason and he will stay like top pokemon forever for that even nerfed to the ground

[@atharvaguptaix-c7210]

even decreasing his damage the main problem is the cc he still can alt+f4 you in his unite can constantly put you in sleep his dark pulse + claw is still not viable in late game

[@MasterSmuth-s4y]

Darkrai unite move scares me

[@thetwinsuns4375]

but i think its not as broken as everyone says. you can get it cancelled, so theres counterplay. the person you unite is basically dead but after u unite the enemies are ready to kill u, so its pretty fair imo

[@MasterSmuth-s4y]

@thetwinsuns4375 yeah but once i literally killed the darkrai in his unite move with cindrace unite🤣

[@MasterSmuth-s4y]

@thetwinsuns4375 i've never played darkrai btw , so i dont know his kit completely

[@fyrex7797]

I love how they nerfed only 1 half of the problem and left the other half untouched. You know, the infinite stun that makes you want to jump off a cliff?

[@WorldSlash-zy5ch]

I think after these damage nerfs, its far more punishable than it was. Now it can't straight away oneshot, so we need to chain our attacks. Overall, now its fine.....

[@stormwind937]

can we see a nasty plot shadow claw build

[@RickGamingIndia]

Hey cris what held item should I max out? Special specs or curse incense

[@IsjsbsLsksbsb]

Specs

[@liquidglitch1244]

Curse incense is so situational, I recommend leveling that last in terms of Sp Atk items

[@kinggamer4831]

I hate darkrai🙂

[@Misfire333]

The nerf schould be dark void not dealing damage on contact

[@bensonbone]

Even though I did not want nerfs at all, these are pretty reasonable

[@chito6724]

he does feel pretty shit right now ngl, kinda curious on how shadow claw fares rn

[@williejackson7686]

Things i think will never change. Glaceon is annoying, the owl needs to die on sight , mimi is annoying and CC is everybody's enemy in unite.

[@TheWaterGuy-]

Glaceon was level 8 because bottom path and fat farming

[@tigertanzy]

Somewhere around 8 or 9 deaths 1st game. Darkrai balanced now?

[@D_Sable]

Good part of darkray is the sleep, dont care too much with the dmg nerf

[@Vatenkeist]

Not as oppressive as before. The real question is why the fake Pikachu's rough play is nerf free

[@量子糾纏-p6f]

How is the shadow claw?

[@RicksterLPs]

That glaceon was so scary early game 0.0

[@MedhaosFEH]

Darkrai main here. Yes, he’s still broken. Yes, he still needs more nerfs. Yes, I actually want more nerfs.

[@naturet4026]

Thanks you for the Info

[@DukeshwarNishad]

Please try nasty plot+ shadow claw

[@fxg_agentgeno5549]

carried me to master along with psyducj

[@dragonlord8525]

Will you test the buffed shadow claw? if yes I twitted u a combo that I think works best I’d love if you consider it ❤

[@CricketWorld-v4b]

We need more videos of you going to India on your dlc channel 😅

[@Cheethagamer121]

you know what darkrai still looks really annoying but i think it was nerfed enough

[@liquidglitch1244]

As much as I love Darkrai as a Pokémon, I hate this iteration of him he’s so lame

[@ItzMiKeKirbY]

What do you mean? He played the exact same way in the main series games and got nerfed into the ground.

[@liquidglitch1244]

@ well as a kid I didn’t understand that I don’t really see things in terms of competitiveness in Pokémon I’ve always thought it to be silly, I just meant like in terms of media how he is portrayed in the movies and stuff, like his lore and abilities sound cool but in unite he just puts you in a cutscene till you die

[@pranavkadam6818]

Pathetic design that's it 😢

[@Mick4yD0nald]

This is why i chose the holowear first then wait until darkrai cost aeos coins

[@davidlam2991]

Sleep time still too long

[@k.k356]

They didnt nerf its cooldown so yes, its still broken.

[@dragonlord8525]

They did nerf dark void cd by half a second but the ease of putting someone to sleep for 2 sec is what really makes this thing insufferable

[@lolabcd1234]

Yeah being able to put for sleep 2s with a move with cd of 3s is pain, Darkrai did have huge damage but the main issue is still the sleep​@@dragonlord8525

[@MASTER-8918]

gg

[@SidhantPrajapati-yo5vv]

Worst pokemon they have ever made in game after mimikyu
