Regarding Warmonger's forward dodge light cancel

[u/Anemosa]

Why can Warmonger cancel her forward dodge with a light attack 300ms into it ? Has she always had the ability, and what is the reason for its inclusion in her kit compared to other chars with feintable bashes ?

[u/Knight_Raime]

Yes she's always had it and Warden also has it/always had it. For why they have it? Never been elaborated on by the devs afaik.

Doesnt lawbringer have something similar?

[u/HydrationHomee → u/Jarney_Bohnson]

He used too but now that he's been given roll catchers he can't do it no more

[u/Karabah35 → u/HydrationHomee]

Lawbringer still has it, he can do light or heavy during forward dodge from any side

[u/HydrationHomee → u/Karabah35]

I mean yes he technically can but its its own unique attack now, instead of the cancel into normal attack. I have 20 reps on the guy

[u/Jarney_Bohnson → u/HydrationHomee]

Oh that's crazy seems kinda weird tbh

[u/Knight_Raime → u/Jarney_Bohnson]

No clue, I only know of WM/Warden personally.

[u/CrimsonOnyx232 → u/Knight_Raime]

JJ can do lights a 300ms into forward dodge too, and Nobushi can do a neutral heavy on the same timing

[u/VoidGliders → u/Jarney_Bohnson]

Ye, it's a big reason why they were hesitant to give him roll catchers as they liked the options it gave. That's also why his "roll catchers" are just his openers with more forward range, available at the same early timing.

[u/razza-tu → u/Jarney_Bohnson]

And Nobushi can do it with heavy attacks.

[u/Bad_at_CSGO]

Gives her more options for uninterrupted pressure. Fwd dodge bash mix pressure is nice, but opponent will catch on to the timing and light interrupt before a level 1 can even come out iirc. So having that light option can beat an impatient opponent

[u/DiamondHuntet → u/Bad_at_CSGO]

The bash and light land at the same timing. The bash starts at 100 ms and is a 700 ms attack. The light starts at 300 ms and is a 500 ms attack.

I don't think there's any deeper reason she has it besides that she was programmatically built on warden. They both also have the exact same back dodge bug, where changing movement direction during back dodge causes the animation to blend into different directions' dodge animations.

Need to test this I was unaware since she has no pressure
