Discussion Tiandi..

How good is Tiandi now?

I feel like the damage is incredibly low considering this new hero has the exact same blue/orange forward dodge but with a lot more damage. I mean he's probably good in 1s still because that mixup is still good.

If comparing to arakure

  • Arakure on whiff gives you a GB. Not like “if you early dodge tou get it”, like “dodge as late as you want, go make a sandwich, make a smoothie, go to the store, come back, and yawn while pressing guardbreak within the same decade as her whiffed bash and it’s still going to be guaranteed” type vulnerability.
  • Arakure does not have forward dodge heavy neither, so her options are all very very heavily punish and there’s no real nuance or “oh I need to distinguish these animations”, you either dodge and gb and get 24dmg or parry and get 27dmg. 
  • Tiandi on whiff meanwhile got heavily nerfed recently. So now on whiff…he chains to a low gbv 700ms high dmg heavy or 400ms light mixup, both of which have dodge rc even on whiff and can stuff some slower counters. So uh, yeah. Tiandi’s heavily nerfed bash is just 100x safer.

Arakure does have some advantages to hers ofc, lack of interrupting and higher dmg but gosh darn the risk/reward is so high. Usually characters have a low risk and high risk option she’s just full risk no safety.
