The Nobushi is a Hybrid class hero in the Samurai faction with a Hard difficulty classification. Nobushis are zoner characters with incredible range that keep distance while constantly harassing targets, along with poking attacks and bleed damage that affects targets over time.
The Nobushi is a longe range melee fighter and tries to keep enemies far away with a long staff. It has the longest reach out of any other class in the game. Not only does this keep them safe from most attacks, but allows them to control the flow of combat.
Though difficult to master, playing as a Nobushi means completely zoning out enemies and bringing them down with pokes and counter-attacks.
Basic Tips
üThe Nobushi has three Attack Chains: the first, Poke the Nest, is performed by initiating three consecutive Light Attacks. The third attack causes a damage over time bleed.
üThe second Attack Chain is Hiss and Bite, which is performed by chaining a Light Attack into a Heavy Attack.
üFinally, Death Rattle Form, is performed by attacking consecutively with two Heavy Attacks. As with all attack chains, try and change guard directions to keep your opponent confused.
üWhen surrounded by enemies, perform a Zone Attack by pressing the Light Attack and Heavy Attack buttons simultaneously.
üWhile Sprinting, perform a Light Attack to initiate a Slither Thrust that inflicts a damage over time bleed effect.
üWhile Sprinting, performing a Heavy Attack initiates a Coiling Slash attack.
üWalk backward and perform a Light Attack to keep your distance while executing a bleed inflicting poke.
üPerform a Guardbreak immediately following a Light or Heavy Attack to initiate a kick that pushes your enemy back.
üWhen locked onto a target, Dodge left, right, or back combined with a Light Attack to perform a Cobra Strike that inflicts Bleed.
üWhen locked onto a target, perform a left or right Dodge combined with a Heavy Attack to perform a Sidewinder Form swipe.
üHold Down on Guard Direction to go into Hidden Stance, masking your guard orientation and evading incoming attacks.
üAfter blocking an attack, immediately perform a Dodge to keep your distance and maintain long range.
Advanced Tips
üMany of the Nobushi’s attacks inflict Bleed damage. After applying a Bleed effect on an enemy, hitting them again inflicts extra damage.
üPerform a Light Attack after knocking back an enemy to initiate a long*range poke that inflicts a Bleed. This is an excellent follow up to Guardbreaking an overly aggressive enemy.
