This list is okay for getting into the game, for more adept players I'd say the best duelists by faction are : Warden, Shaman, Shinobi, Tiandi and Afeera. Warden has immense stamina pressure with his shoulder bash as it drains and pauses your stamina recovery, if they try to dodge the level one bash then they get hit by the level 3 and guarantee a heavy. For Shaman you have an unreactable zone and bleed feints and heal off of any damage done to bleeding enemies. Shinobi can ignore a lot of moves with his double dash and has really good mixes which can rack up damage very quickly if the enemies make a few mistakes. Tiandi has unreactable offence with his bash and undodgeable mix. Afeera has an unreactable bash which is feintable as well as a lot of options for most situations as well as very good punishes.

Nobu is the worst duelist in the game, only reactable offence.

With the knights I would say cent cus the in chain pressure is insane after bash changes

As a warden main, there ain’t no way he’s a better duelist than gladiator or black prior

knights i would say bp coz he has literally everything except hyper armour, for vikings id say its between warlord and valk, samurai its orochi, wu lin tiandi and shao lin are good but jj is meh depending on who u pick and outlanders athera

Warlord is underated

I think shaman is a better duelist because of the soft fients and mix ups. I also think shinobi is better then kensei because of the 50/50 mixups I agree with the rest tho

Yk you can get a heavy when you parry a side heavy

Surprised u didn’t say hito for samurai

aramusha gets no love 😢
