It is possible to dodge, but timing has to be ridiculously precise, like frame perfect pretty much. The problem is distance of your roll and speed of the boar don't allow you to clear back hitbox of it in time for your i-frames to fall off. Unless you roll as late as humanly possible, that is. I was able to do it quite a few times, like half of the time or so. Which isn't good enough, obviously, so I opted to vow of indomitable skill on my shield. I haven't tested anything else, but I'd say any option that allows you to cover more distance or get more i-frames will work just fine. Even just light roll should do the trick, but vow or bloodhound step are more generous on the timing.

Yapper💩💩

Shinobi was trash

Jondaliner your dog water

That new exe is really short and heals for 50, but the kill time is quite late. Seems pretty good.

Are you Guest40890 on Hunting Sniper the mobile game? Swear I just ran into you, dude looked just like you lmao

All these good Kensei players that been coming out the woodwork nearly made me uninstall from pure rage fml

In the epic world of For Honor, the Kensei are more than just master swordsmen; they are living legends of the Samurai faction. These warriors are chosen not just for their unmatched skill with the nodachi-a massive, awe-inspiring two-handed sword-but also for their unwavering dedication to the bushido code. The lore tells us that the first Kensei were handpicked by ancient Emperors, celebrated for their exceptional prowess and ironclad honor. They aren’t just fighters; they are scholars and philosophers, spending years honing both their minds and bodies. Imagine a warrior so attuned to the rhythms of battle that they can almost predict the outcome before it begins-that’s the essence of a true Kensei. In combat, Kensei are the epitome of adaptability and precision. Their fighting style is a mesmerizing blend of powerful, sweeping strikes and fluid, graceful movements, designed to find and exploit any weakness. Their armor, adorned with intricate symbols and motifs, tells stories of incredible battles and extraordinary feats. Take the legendary Kensei known as Hachiman, for instance. It's said that he single-handedly defended a crucial mountain pass against an invading army. His blade moved like the wind, and his resolve was as steadfast as the mountains themselves. Stories of his valor have inspired generations of warriors to walk the path of the Kensei. Today, in the world of For Honor, the Kensei continue to be the heart and soul of the Samurai armies. Their presence on the battlefield isn’t just a beacon of hope; it’s a living testament to their people's enduring spirit and unbreakable will. If you ever face a Kensei, know that you’re not just up against a warrior-you’re facing a legend.

Saw Kensei clicked immediately

As a kensai main, I agree, he is broken 3:53

Yo Jon show us your Elden ring build please

Imagine owing somebody a sub what a nerd oh wait

11:37 Yes it works against Kyoshin! I actually tested every matchup and here is the list of heroes where neutral heavy can be deflected and secure a free gb: Zerk Warden HL Shugo BP Kyoshin Jormungandyr Lawbringer Conqueror Kensei Nuxia Zhan hu Warmonger If the hero is not on this list, it won't work! Kensei is really fun but probably the most matchup dependent character in the game :(

HeRo fEEEEEEEsTTTTT

He managed to defeat John Helldiver the shaolin

I seen your in-game name Jon and had i not seen this video, i would've flipped my lid if i ran into that name while playing

shoalin's staff goes flying off like a rocket at 5:10 lol

I saw the screen shake in the first second and I decided this be a must watch.

First?

This is one of the first "guides" i've seen for niche SoulsBourne game stuff that was actually entertaining while yk gave me a good solution for when fromsoft makes a mistake like this dude. Great video dude keep it up.

Gave him so many chances to deflect into a GB 😂

They should've never removed his heavy deflect

It's fucking insane that I had to look up how to dodge this stupid fucking move. I absolutely hate what FromSoft has done with this DLC. It's a complete joke.

Just run to him and dodge

I feel that post patch, hes easier to dodge

Man I miss old for honour

YOU HAVE TO BE ON TORRENT TO BEAT THIS BOSS. I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be that way because there’s literally zero way to dodge half these attacks unless you are on torrent. I used my mimic and led the boss to my mimic to distract him, then I was able to get a bunch of free attacks in. Repeat it and it’s actually really easy. Hope this helps

Doesn’t do it when you’re close my foot. He uses this move whenever he godamn feels like it

The sword HAS an heavy attack, you just need to press Light + Heavy at the same time! Also the Sword appears to have around 270 sorcery scaling same as the Meteor Staff at 80 int which is obviously s**t for endgame!

Can you use a spell to buff the sword with magic or frost
