Need a refresher on how to fight afeera

I fought an afeera today in duels as sohei, juren and jorm my 3 mains and got walked all over by her in the 4 matches we played, I dont know when which moves i can dodge attack or gb, and when the afeera starts spam feinting her neutral bash it feels like i have to make a billion reads and my brain just turns off or something, shes super stressful to fight what should i know that will help me in my future fights against her?

Question about juren

Is there any reason to fullblock after whiffing an attack or hitting someone externally with a side attack, I just finished watching freeze's framecheck and all i cpuld see was tapping full block on hit shortened recoveries by 66ms, but nothing about whiffing or externalling, is this because it doesnt affect your recoveries in these situations?

Is it possible to react to a gank

I had a very humbling experience in mm by going up against a team that actually knew how to gank, they werent even in a group they just all knew what they were doing, I got hit by light confirms, gb confirms, bash confirms. I know that against light confirm ganking you have to parry the light attack to prevent the gank, wih gbs you have to early parry the heavy or just counter gb from what i was told by the people i played against, often times though I'd be hit by the gb or see the light part of the gank and it felt like i had no time to react to parry the light or counter gb before I got hit by the following heavy, I'm wondering if this is just a skill issue/something i can train myself to react to

How interested are skaven in self expression

So Skaven are a horde army, endless masses of fur, teeth , claws and blades. I was wondering though if the skaven being the selfcentered beings they are would care to customize their weapons and armor to express their individuality like the clones from star wars( sorry if its not a good parallel) I especially wonder if the stormvermin caste of skaven society would care to make their armor and weapons their own, I'd def like to make as many of my stormvermin models look unique and not as uniform

Question about this artivles description of socialist countries

https://msuweb.montclair.edu/\~furrg/pol/khmerrouge.html I wanted to learn more about Polt Pot and the Khmer Rouges philosophy/ideology as I had heard that Pol Pot was not a real communist and the actions taken by him and the Khmer Rouge were not at all in line with Socialist thinking. In the article though the author repeatedly claims that the Soviet union, North Vietnam/Ho Chi Minh, and Mao era China were not communist/socialist and I was wondering if anyone here could explain thoroughly why or why not that would be the case, thank you.

Some Jorm loadouts I really liked making

I originally used the dry blood color palette for these but then while experimenting with other color palette on my fourth loadout i found one of the uncaged frenzy color combos used a deeper shade of red that gets a bit closer to the color of blood/shade i wanted it to be. what do you guys think?

Question about psionics

I love Us to death, they're easily my most used summon in most playthroughs, hell I even summon them when I'm at camp or just walking atound in act 3, I was wondering if its possible for oyher races/species to learn psionics, its a bit sad that after the tadpole gets killed we wont be ablr to talk to Us anymore, is it possible for someone like a human or tiefling to learn psionics to communicate with intellect devourers

Confused about this Ram/Sigma interaction

So in the pinned Ramattra guide we're told to not be in nemesis form when sigma pops his ult, I'm still fairly new but wouldnt being in nemesis help you stay alive better? I dont know how healing changes between being in nemesis or omnic form but the post says we should be in omnic form because healing up is better, but isnt havinf more hp better?

How do I get the Gnawfeast Clawpack spearhead box

I really really really want the grey seer in the box and the rat ogors and the clanrats are a nice addition to that, but I dont know if i have it in me to get the ultimate starter set or skaventide since i have no one to split it with, I know I could probably just buy the grey seer/archwarlock sprue and save myself a ton of money, but buying unsealed things second hand kinda stresses me out a bit lol, I'll consider it as a last resort of no other options are available, that being said what can I do?

What are the best heroic traits to run for a list running stormvermin as its hammers?

I initially thought skavenbrew would be nice to run but stormvermin are a 20 model unit max and potentially losing 3 of them just to apply the buff feels like too strong a downside, would i be better off putting foulhide or on a grey seer or warpstone charm on another regiment leader? And what about the devious machinations we have access to this season?

How badly do stormfiends need a priest

I'm making a list with some stormfiends in it as my hammers, I was wondering how badly they'd need a priest, I'm pretty sure they are our tankiest hammer and they also wound on 2+ compared to rogors 3+ and stormvermins 4+, I'm wondering could i get away with dropping a plague pack for another master moulder or clanrats/stormvermin or some unit enhancements like transplanted brains and stuff

How would a war between these two go down?

So when I first learned of Lord Gnawdwell I couldnt help but feel like there were parralels between him and Tywin Lannister of ASOIAF, both a people who worked their asses off for the majority of their lives to make their clans/families the most powerful and feared in their respective societies, both are tactical geniuses while also being politically fluent and capable of plotting, making alliances and scheming ahead for more power and influence. I feel like it would be fun to wonder how would a confrontation between these two characters and their armies go, i feel like numbers will play a huge role so to make it a little more fair lets have Tywin able to call upon the armies of the Boltons, Freys and the Tyrells, meanwhile Gnawdwell has access to everything in clan Mors' arsenal as well as being able to purchase things from other clans like rat ogors or warp lightning cannons etc

One thing I think would be cool to speculate is any potential allegiances either of these two characters would make to swing the tide of the war and with whom. Also, and this is very important, we need to have their two top attack dogs go head to head in a 1v1, which is to say, The Mountain Sir Gregor Clegane against Queek Headtaker. How do yall think this war would go down?

How are you supposed to play on sentinel

This is a little bit of a rage/salt podt but genuinely what are you supposed to do on this map, it feels like doing anything worth doing carries the risk of being shot by a ballista, like every entry into C can be shot at, clearing mid while ypu dont control A is just asking to die, am I supposed to just stand on A all game?
