[@GabeHowardd]

[@HoneyDog]

I'm almost rep 80 on Zhanhu, and they've been my main for a few years. I think for me personally, what is most frustrating about playing them, is that it feels like every tool Zhanhu has is just a worse version of things other characters have. Then they put all these worse versions together to create a character that is just really mediocre. The thing that annoys me the most is that most good characters in this game now can force 33/33/33's on their opponents when reading 50/50's, but Zhanhu cant. Orochi, Varangian, Shugoki, Shinobi, Hitokiri, Afeera, Ocelotl, can all dodge attack quicker than Zhanhu can soft feint a heavy, meaning everytime you throw a heavy you're making a 33/33/33 (dodge/parry, dodge attack, do nothing) against your own 50/50 (feint or don't feint). That wouldn't be so bad, if Zhanhu wasn't literally incapable of dodging quick enough to do the same thing. The GB vulnerability on Zhanhu is so great that countless time's I have heard my Zhanhu literally speak the words for dodge attacks, and then it doesn't go through. I have been guard broken out of my forward bashes, AFTER SEEING THE ORANGE UNBLOCKABLE APPEAR. They are a dodge attack specalist, with, in my opinion, the worst dodge attacks in the game (for the purpose that they're supposedly made for). Their startup is just, attrocious, and you will constantly be reminded of that fact when fighting 80% of the other heroes that have dodge attacks. No hyperarmor, at all, even on your finisher heavy, really hurts as well, and I would trade Zhanhu's unblockable light finisher in an instant for unreactable triple light chains, like valk or nuxia. But I genuinely don't think the Devs care, like, at all about Zhanhu.

[@dallasjonpaulgrove547]

(Just an Opinion, everyone has their own), I just hate how much Orochi has been given for being an assassin Hero. He basically plays like a Vanguard without the Hyper armor. People who weren't good with him kept complaining about a lack of options on the hero, I admit the Heavy unblockable isn't far fetched and is indeed a usable kit that all other assassins have in some capacity. The fast opener kick, the insane dodge attack recovery cancels feel a little undeserved for the hero, because a large majority of the Assassin players that tended to pick him, instead of learning his strengths and weaknesses they just demanded he be made stronger. Zhanhu was fun right out the get go, the flow feels nice but it's slow. If we're gonna have heroes like Shinobi, Orochi, Afeera, and Pirate all immediately dodging out of whiff recovery, then why can't Zhanhu do it too? As soon as the hero launched their gimmick was made out and they fell off pretty hard. Getting 1 or 2 buffs and then hardly being touched again. The most they've done for the hero was the bash opener being removed off their forward dodge superior block and being added as a standard dodge forward option. Otherwise, I haven't seen any significant changes to the Hero or what they can do. 4 things I'd do for Zhanhu, 1- Feintable zone; BP has his feintable chain heavy, HL and Jorm have feintable Zones on startup, Glad can feint his zone after whiffing the bash, it'd be a fair implementation. 2- Faster dodge recovery cancel; Stated previously, Shinobi, Orochi, Afeera, and Pirate all hold that ability, it'd be no worse to put in on a hero that relies on dodge recovery to preform a good percentage of their kit. 3- give them another combo/chain option other than dodge attack or area, the kit while it feels okay, is lacking. I'd add a Chain bash or maybe even a hyper armor option for teamfights. 4- Smoother camera transitioning, but I feel that can be said for most teamfights in For Honor. The game was initially designed around 1v1's, which is why the unlock and locking of the camera feels janky and uncontrollable at time. It definitely affects Zhanhu the absolute most with their already lacking kit.

The frustrating thing about zhanhu is that their hit boxes are super inconsistent imo, it's a problem a lot of heroes that rely on externals suffer from, not to ignore zhanhu's terrible dodge cancel timings meaning you can't constantly rely on them like orochi can in a big fight. Zhanhu does have powerful pressure that orochi can't match sometimes, but their wonky hit boxes (for instance, the side unblockable lights being able to external on one side but not the other for no reason other than hitbox errors) and her finisher unblockable heavies having tons of range yet constantly hitting thin air even if there's someone right in front of you making it exceptionally frustrating. If they fixed zhanhu's attacks to better external with and buffed their dodge cancel timings just a tiny bit, zhanhu would fit the niche of being the best of both worlds when it comes to jj or orochi who both do their most important jobs better

The UB light is basically useless against new gen players and a free light parry against pc players. Dash forward light is too slow and not enhanced, so another useless move. The CC property on their dodge attack rarely comes into play. Really this character just spams UB heavies, thats all they have, and an undodgeable zone, but thats a free parry from neutral and is only really useful in team fights. Despite all this, Zhanhu is still a strong dom pick thanks to his feats and hitboxes, they just arent crazy strong.

[@HoneyDog]

I honestly don't see any reason to use any other T3 feat than Nukkabei, or whatever the feat is called that gives you stamina back on hits. Honestly, Zhanhu really can't emit too much pressure without it. I think Zhanhu can do three chain feints before running out of stam (heavy attack, heavy feint, heavy attack, heavy feint etc), where as a hero like Hito can do around a dozen or so heavies. At least with the stam back you can usually get people down to near one shot with proper reads.

[@theinsane833]

@@HoneyDog I use longbow to pair with fiery tusk, and as a feint option when I faint my heavy unblockable. I use the gear perk endurance for stamina but for hito I use fast recover since her tier 3 spirit shroud is a permanent bastion that gives 20% def instead of 10% my gear perks for hito are Bulk-up, vengeful, and shields up, only shields up so when I leave revenge my vengeful has more shield. Another good tier 3 option for hito is heal on block but using it with bulk-up isn’t very worth it since that extra heal will be better suited for last stand cause that 4 hp goes a long way when you have vengeful and 40% defense boost, but back to the main point of never using Fiery breath, making it deal fire damage like sharpen blade is mostly about making it pair well with his other fire feats, and making it actual viable option kinda like orochi and hit option to get longbow, slip through or sharpens blade, longbow and slip through are clearly better but having the option of a extra damage in bleed is always nice especially when bleed damage stacks was better, also a amazing build to melt people and the breach commander/guardian/event commander, use Aramusha with sharpen blade, deadly, juggernaut, and fear itself, that is the highest possible DPS in the game out of any character, since aramusha himself already has the highest chain DPS with 30 damage every side heavy that are 700 ms in chain

Orochi only get a slight damage nerf is an insult to the player base he’s gotta get a harder slap on the wrist

[@cherrycola4476]

They need to make his zone damage back to 14 and make it so he doesn't get dodge cancels on whiffed dodge attack

[@yopoxikeweapescai9066]

damn, the addiction to for honor is coming back. Good that my graphic card can not run it smoothly anymore and i dont want to waste so much mmoney on a new one lol

[@Doburesu]

Hearing the phrase “good orochi” is exactly why I know this game will never be good. In fact, hearing complaints about other characters while the shaman is still the same as always reminds me why this game is just an outright failure overall.

[@obamasoe9392]

Let me fact check something. I’m pretty sure Zhanhu’s zone is a 360 hit box

[@TheCarrionKing27]

Look man ima keep it real, this was more about how Orochi is a skilless character, and i do agree with you but you should TELL people on how to deal with it too, the more people that learn how to deal with him the better. If people want I'll leave a massive comment with details on how to deal with skilless Orochis and tricks for the rare few that do know what to do.

[@SolidSol69]

I dont think he is skilless. I said he can have a high skill curve, but also a really low skill floor making him very good at all tiers of play. There's definitely some counterplay to him, but he is S tier for a reason because you need to play perfectly against him especially without the most coordinated team.

[@TheCarrionKing27]

@SolidSol69 saying he has a low skill floor is pretty much the same as just saying he's skilless but I get your point, regardless of that I still think you should mention how to deal with him or at least how to deal with those at the lower end of said skill floor, for example if he's just hitting the storm spam a cheeky light or zone can help ward him off. And in regards to his bash mix up you can keep your guard to the left or right and as soon as you see his guard dissappear hit a light, you will either trade and reset to neutral or straight up interrupt and put him in your chain pressure. Further more If you're in neutral keep your guard to your right and you've cut off his zone doing direct damage and can potentially get an easier parry. In a team fight just either ignore him via externally blocking him and occasionally swapping to hit him when he gets greedy with an unblock. Ironically I love my LB when dealing with oro in a gank, go bash someone else then lock onto orochi and slap him with the hyper armor heavy. I'm not here to argue with you or anything I just want to help people that deal with orochi spam, especially in the lower tiers of play where I've had several friends get mad after getting newb crushed by a spamming oro.

[@frostblasts]

Orochi backstep into light is too much for me.

[@TheCarrionKing27]

@frostblasts you must be new friend, if your orochis are just doing it when ever you attack I reccomend you throw a heavy and feint it, now I don't know how good you are at parrying hut you have 3 choices here, you can 1 parry, 2 dodge attack, 3 dodge without attacking(this is called and empty dodge) from there you can light them (or heavy if you got that parry and then pressure them with combo chains)

[@frostblasts]

@@TheCarrionKing27 thanks!

[@jimmyjams5038]

Zhanu is diet orochi just as pk is diet shammy mommy.

[@manz7860]

Warden might actually have the most useless dodge in the game

[@frostblasts]

I swear Warden dodge is bugged that he has lower I-frames than all heroes. Plus bashing after dodge removes the s. His uncharged bash is so reactable too. His charged bash is easy to punish with lights. His bash is easily broken by all other bashes too. I could finish a match without sending bashes, I just faint all bash into GB.

[@manz7860]

@@frostblasts wardens double light does way too little damage. Even eating 3 in a row will net less than 50 damage. You dont need to respect wardens level 1 bash if you're have a good amount of health. It's easily dodged and is a free gb->heavy Especially compared to high pick heroes with confirmed heavies on level 1 bash. Hito, gryphon, afeera, highlander for example. And then to top it all off. All of this is compounded by terrible stamina.

[@ceryage2796]

Actually,LB dodge bash is much worse,I-frames on this is absolutely freaking bad,and its also GB-able,so only really good thing about LB dodge bash,is better GB vulnerability than Wardens,but still by I-frames,LBs worse than Wardens,u can't dodge shit with LB dodge bash

[@manz7860]

@@ceryage2796 LB has a great dodge bash. Trying to feint into gb against lawbringer isn't very advisable.

[@ceryage2796]

@@manz7860 I literally said that Lb does have great gb protection on dodge bash,but s in this thing is just horrible,u can't dodge shit with this,even Tiandi dodge light is better at actually dodging

[@ianperry8557]

Part of me wishes afeera was a worse character so people would complain less about her. I love her drip and her weapon combo but I understand the frustration when going against her and other good characters.

[@KimJongUn823]

Give him more i-frames, remove his gb vulnerability on his dodge attack and increase his recovery speed, oh and make his zone cost less stam

[@tonymontaano4072]

[@WailNozarashi]

I have literally never played orochi out of the story mode

[@jogalen856]

I'm a main orochi, I would like to see you play modern orochi. I honestly don't think Orochi is that good and I've noticed that despite you always trying to add variety, you have your favs. As you've said, people like to play easier heroes. I feel like I've lost the essence of my character, and I would like some guidance beyond the ass who says you're just bad in comments or gives lazy advice. Sometimes, I get inspiration by watching you.

[@HoneyDog]

Orochi might be the best character in the game right now. Top unblockable for pressure which can be entered after any opener, also has really nice damage. He has three different ways to I-frame attacks (backwards storm rush, backstep light, side dodge attacks), has extremely quick, safe, and high damage side heavy finishers, has a safe forward bash 50/50 mixup that can catch dodge attacks with stormdash, as well as being immune to GB on whiffed forward bashes as long as you still input your light. Pair all of this with the best dodge recovery in the game, which can start at 200 milliseconds (recovery on 2/10th's of a second), and the fact that he can enter every single combo he has through any of his dodge recoveries- yeah, he's probably the best character in the game at the moment.

[@garretwoeller7669]

Zhanhu to me should be reworked legitimately whats the point of unblockable lights when light spam is easier on most heroes and light parry checks are dumb as shit and honestly having slower lights just makes it easier tbh I rather him be like a a nimble vanguard type he should have fire in his movelist on some moves perhaps replace his unblockable lights with flaming dot lights or hell give the duse a dodge cancel and remove his dodge bullshjt because he is just a worse orochi and Tiandi does the dodge specialist thing better. Hell rework aint even gotta be much like it could be like Wardens newest buff like 2-3 new moves fix some other moves up and we could have an actually cool dude who isn't just a read check. Note I love this hero in cocnept and style but his execution was incredibly mid and he doesn't feel special like other heroes

For honor is the definition of a toxic relationship

i loved Zhanhu its my second hero who get rep 70 after Aramusha when rep 70 was been actual and funny thinks zhan its second hero who get rep 80 because first was Medjey =) . And Sol, what did think about aramusha in reflection orochi hero skin blade ? Its hint on ara rework or what ? I soooooo mutch long time dont play on ara and hes valuable or trash ?

[@ossope]

I play orochi only i mained him before the rework and now im happy with orochi. the most thing im good at is playing solo dom anti ganking without revenge vs 2 or higher with revenge, also im high mmr i see clans in every match. It bugs me when i see shit players wreck people with orochi i always want orochi to be like this masterpiece. My take on it is slow the zone slow the chain heavy and lower the overall damage massively i dont care if it takes forever to get a kill or gets harder to antigank i love my orochi i wont mind the super low damage, only the roach enthusiasts will remain after these nerfs. I hope you all have a good day :)

[@SoI_Badguy]

I see Zhanhus everywhere

[@inoizyl7882]

On console orochi is just busted the chances I get a bad orochi is allmost none and I just wish they never re worked him because I used to main him and though he was perfectly balanced and now he's just too op and doesn't fit the roster anymore

[@Gimmemi]

There’s truly too many dodge attacks. Why do we now have shield hero’s and giant staff/halberd wielders dancing around like assassins.

[@DylanBurke-c7x]

I play zhanhu to show pesky roaches that I can choose the worse character and still clap them

[@MasterHall117]

So what I hear is make characters harder to use and less safe? I could agree, but Ubisoft won’t listen regardless

I dont get the hate for Vangrarian Guard. But i feel like its because warden actually is a decent matchup against her

[@Ragnarrok2023]

opener and finishing CC lights are stupid. CC dodge attack is also braindead. Massive hitbox on unblockable heavy is insane. The duruation of the full block and subsequent "stun" inflicted on a player is absurd too.

[@420billit6]

Why do i feel like meta charcters being picked constantly is a side effect of the skill based match making being cranked up too high

[@nickmann1628]

just give us hero bans at this point Ubisoft. Everybody gets to ban 1 hero so a maximum amount of 8 heroes are gonna be banned and you still can choose out of 26 other heroes. this would be so good since there would always be someone banning one of the most annoying characters, just imagine lobbies without orochi, shinobi, BP, VG, Pirate etc. What a dream
