People keep asking for Nobushi damage buffs and that's how I know they don't actually play duels with her. Her damage isn't the issue. It's that every time she finally gets offense started, the game neuters you. She needs hyper armor on chain heavies.
Hidden Stance should be an actual offensive stance, not just a defensive tax you pay to maybe earn one read. She needs recovery cancels into her stance.
The kick is the same story. Stop making it a dead end. Give it multiple follow-up routes so the bushi player is reading habits instead of repeating muscle memory. Give her momentum ffs. Her kicks should be undodgeable.
That's literally all the hero is missing. She already has range, bleed, and recovery management. She just has zero offensive layering compared to newer heroes. She wins a read, cashes out, and clocks out for the day.
Nobushi doesn't need bigger numbers. She needs her offense to actually evolve while she's winning. That's what a technical duelist is supposed to feel like. Instead, like other high skill bushi people, I have to resort to light spam for the win.
People cling to games like For Honor and call it "high skill" because they've spent years memorizing the same handful of interactions. That's not the same as having strong fundamentals. If you really want to test your reactions, execution, matchup knowledge, and ability to adapt under pressure, step into something like Mortal Kombat or Marvel Tokon. Those games punish hesitation, reward optimization, and force you to improve instead of leaning on the same comfortable habits. It's easy to feel like a master when you've spent thousands of hours in a shrinking pond.
At some point you've got to stop pretending familiarity equals difficulty. If you're genuinely confident in your skills, why stay where the ceiling is lower? Go compete where players are constantly discovering new tech, refining combos, and pushing the meta forward. If that idea sounds intimidating, that's probably the point. Comfort breeds complacency, while tougher competition breeds better players. Stop camping in yesterday's challenge and see how your "high skill" translates when the bar is actually raised.
I'm just curious as to what things players would like to see changed/fixed/implemented.
I know cheating is mentioned a lot. Notably ESP. I'm interested in how Embarks current system is failing and what can remedy it.
I'm also interested in other things the community would like to see like team stat recaps, heavy shield balances, Finals-like character customization, public hub, etc. The entire thing is aimed at community discussion.
