7. Orochi (Most OP for Assassin Matchups)

Orochi does boast the best mobility from all of his classes. However, he is last on his list due to his lack of strength against solid-guard characters. He has a very reactable moveset against these types of heroes and top PC players will punish that mercilessly. However, Orochi still has incredibly good matchups and is probably one of the best assassin characters in the game. Though his Storm Rush is predictable his cancel and guard breaks open him up to devastating movesets capable of destroying unprepared enemies.

6. Kyoshin (Most OP for Chain Attacks)

The Kyoshin can shut down offense easily and can capitalize it with his own incredible offense, such as his undodgeable chain heavy which still, to this date, renders players unable to react and insane full block punishes. He also has a neutral unblockable which is harder to react to than most other unblockables. Kyoshin’s chain pressure is also something to look out for and he does well against many if not all S-Tier heroes at the moment, even those on this very list.

Chain attacks are strong!
Neutral Unblockable
Block Punishes

5. Warden (Most OP For Balanced Skillset)

The best thing about Warden is their ability to be versatile on the battlefield, pretty much utilized for every aspect or role that your team requires. It is even the most balanced character for any type of player, whether veteran or brand new. With such a simple moveset the Warden can go toe-to-toe with any hero based on simple finesse, practice, and a hell of a lot of shoulder bashes. I’m not kidding, it is the staple of the Warden and usually one of the reasons why they win most of their duels.

Balanced Skillset
Great Feats
Can be used by anyone

4. Shaman (Most OP For Strong Bleeds)

The Shaman is one hell of a hero. From her incredibly unorthodox skillset to her wild and aggressive healing tactics. Her OS removal has been buffed making her extremely overpowered in one on ones or duels. Shaman is one of the faster heroes, which grants her lightning-fast guards and parries which fall within her skillset as an assassin-type character, all while giving her gruesome openings for her signature bite technique, able to chew health away from her opponents. She also has a hell of an arsenal of Bleed moves.

Great Healing Capabilities
Insane Bleeding Tactics
Unorthodox Moveset

3. Aramusha (Most OP for Strong Moveset)

The Aramusha is a sly and cunning warrior capable of dealing great damage over time. Using feints and parries to get out of tough situations to open up for more attacks makes Aramusha a top contender when it comes to duels. His abilities and feats are limited, however, he makes up for this with incredible movesets, capabilities, and with a skilled player behind him, the Aramusha can become a devastating player to face.

Strong Moveset
Guard Breaks
Great at Damage Over Time

2. Shugoki (Most OP for Tank like Manuevers)

The Shugoki is a massive tank on the field with the capability of doing a ton of damage over time, making him invaluable in Dominion and Breach. However, in a duel, he is an absolute menace from his Uninterruptible Stance, in which his attacks cannot be blocked or parried in any way, given he’s not on the verge of death. His guard breaks such Demon Ball and his Demon Embrace make him an easy character to dominate any duel with.

Uninterruptible Stance
Demon Ball
Demon Embrace

1. Raider (Most OP For Unrelenting Pressure)

The Raider has become an absolute menace in pretty much any versus scenario. With Raider, you have a heavy arsenal at your disposal of endless skills and abilities geared to have you decimating opponents left and right. He is an amazing offensive character and probably the most influential offensive hero in the game, with beautiful punishes, great stamina drains, a great amount of health, and overall a great character to play with.
