    I don't mind nier having amazing mix and combos right, but what breaks her for me is the DP. Having the best reversal in the game that is ridiculously hard to counterplay, leads into 50% and a 50/50 oki setup is insanity. If a character has this insane offense their defense should be lacking, her super skybound and ultimate reversal are fine but the heavyy dp has to go.

      you can option select it. You meaty a close or a safejump and plink a spotdodge after the 2nd attack input for the chain. If she is DP'ing the spotdodge comes out after the first attack(canceled) and if she's blocking, you get the autoblockchain. So that reversal is annoying but manageable.

      That's because she's not a puppet character at all. She's a persona character. Death doesn't act independently of her, she has startup on all of Death's moves. She's not benefitting from a puppet that can cover her weaknesses if you can functionally play two characters at once, she just has a bunch of abilities that are very strong, easy to use, and break the game's normal rules; and she has them as long as she doesn't use up all 13 heart points in a round, which isn't much of a restriction.

    • @garethcf1016
      @garethcf1016 Před 6 měsíci +5

      Ferry has been incrementally nerfed in just about every subsequent patch since launch. Sure at first it was small, like nerfs to dp timings but as time went on, bigger and bigger nerfs were happening, such as reducing all her clash values, the loss of 2h as a viable anti air, and genspenst no longer beating projectiles.
      But even at ferry's peak, there are a few things nier can do that ferry could not, and those are to get full corner combo damage off just about any touch, get that damage off her dp, and on top of it all go into loopable 50/50 mix off basically anything, plus nier can bait out guard cancels as part of her mix. Ferry was busted, no doubt about it, but theres no way she was any more busted than nier is right now. Also the top tier who took the longest to recieve any nerfs was gran, who only recieved a nerf to his boot in season 2

      While other characters were just as strong as she was at launch, she is the most infamous. Not cos she was uncontested strongest or anything (tho she was for a little bit immediately following the nerf of boot but that was cut short by the release of belial who proceeded to break the game and chased away many players), but because she is annoying to fight if you don't know how, regardless of her relative character strength
      For some context:
      Tho gran, kat and lance were similarly strong to her at launch, kat and lance were nerfed fairly quickly, ferry started getting nerfed incrementally every patch and gran was left alone until season 2 where he took a huge nerf to boot. Over time, gran, kat and lance started being treated like normal characters, being buffed and nerfed normally depending on the patch, ferry has recieved essentially only nerfs including huge ones, like the loss of 2h being a viable anti air and genspenst no longer beating projectiles.
      Basically, she was top tier before so arcsys is basically neutering her at every possible turn. And I see that happening to Nier, cos no other character aside from Belial (but arcsys just always keeps him good for some reason) has recieved this amount of pure hate from the community until now. Belial was also very strong but he's strong because he is good or top in everything that he does, not mainly through gimmicks like nier and ferry are, and you can definitely see and feel the scars from launch ferry affect her even til now

    Never have I seen Nier run out of Death stacks. Never have I seen a character with so much damage from a reversal in this game. And I totally do not understand why she has that super consistent 66+L into cl.M... on top of the setplay power she gets from any situation after making her opponent block.
    Imho, she is borderline broken. Her kit makes absolutely no sense and does not fit the game philosophy at all. Make her keep her reversal but tune down the damage. Make her keep the setplay because that's defining her but also reward the player in defense for blocking patiently by depleting her stacks more quickly. I also want her cl.M tuned down. Why is it 6f and has this ridiculous range? She is not a rush down in your face type of character. Or add 2 frames to her 66+L making is 11f when plinked with dash button. Because even that advancing move is way too fast and goes too far.

      @autumnyuki3744 Před 6 měsíci +3

      Well that just means they're playing the character well
      You only have 13 love stocks every time you buffer one of death skills into another one (so combo) you lose a stock every time you enhance a skill you lose a stock
      This leaves nier without death for 20 seconds and her strength is increased during this time
      Meaning you're actually getting mixed pretty badly if you didn't realize that they're actually not even using death
      Whenever I play her I actually like using my stocks as fast as possible I don't want to waste them ready at the beginning or else that's just free hits but I do like the 20 seconds of enhanced and I like her normal attacks
      Everyone actually plays her differently if you look using all sorts of combos that actually fit them
      For me I'm not really a fan of characters that I have to use a lot of assists for and the only game I've ever played with a cyst actually being pretty crucial is Naruto Storm 2 and 3 so I'm used to fighting and throwing in a few assists here and there whenever I'm about to be in a corner or need breathing room or even just some time to think
      I actually was one of the people who thought she isn't playable without death and death is actually the one being played more than nier rather than the other way around that's just how a lot of puppet characters tend to be
      But my brother hates nier and I got him to play her just to prove a point and he managed to beat me without using death twice as were the conditions
      Originally it was only supposed to be once but one of nearest basic attacks involves death so I counted that and we ran hands again
      It is definitely possible and she definitely knows how to cook without death
      It's just she has to be on the defense a lot and it's ultimately a disadvantage
      But she could lead into grabs pretty well

    Based. Nier, Lan-chan and Zeta have been giving me some serious trouble. I've been trying to get better with Uno and it has been extra tough taking so much damage off of making a wrong choice.(It makes me feel every choice I make is wrong.) Seeing how bad his conversions are and his lacking Anti-punishes it is a bit demoralizing seeing these characters take about 45-50% of my HP nearly whenever they land a hit. It is definitely a skill issue on my part but when 24 out of 115 Master players (when you took the information) it is pretty obvious that there is something too strong about a character. (I wouldn't say she is unfair but she definitely feels freakin' close. Those she ain't no Happy Chaos, so I can't be too agitated.)

    A lot of potential routes to nerf Nier, the easiest two that I can think of that don't require making larger changes to her hit:
    Higher damage proration on 623H starter. This move is single-handedly the largest pain point everyone has with the character, and it is pretty wild getting 40%+ of someone's health off a reversal with no CD.
    Increasing usage of Love's Redemption, either through draining stacks on puppet hits, or an additional cost to special cancel certain moves (623H for example)
    The amount of stacks won't change, since 13 is lore-significant for Death (13th Tarot)

      We're still in the early stages of the game, so despite talking about Nier i don't want to be too harsh on nerfs, but Death's stacks seems too good to me: i understand they wanted them to be 13 since the Death tarot card is the 13th of the bunch, but i feel like they're enough to spam her puppet moves forever. They should be enough for her to KO the opponent without going on cooldown if she plays better, but also scarce enough to make possible for a good opponent to force her into cooldowns, and as now i feel like the first situation is way more common than the second one.

    Nier is such a good character thematically, especially since she's the first arcarum evoker and likely the only one we're gonna get for a while. But man, they really overtuned her. The top tiers in this game are just cooking everyone else, and it isn't even close. Hopefully a good balance patch comes around sooner rather than later to bring them in line.

    I might wrong, but I have been labbing it and can't you spot dodge the the first slices in the infinite blockstring and punish her with a button before the second swipe comes out? I get that she can counterplay that by not cancelling into them and throwing you but it should at least blow the Niers that over rely on it right?
    Edit: Sorry, I think I missed that you touched on this already in the vid.
    I think the thing that makes Nier overtuned for me is the risk reward between the players. Nier can touch you and take a massive chunk of your bar. If you call her out, then unless you are in the corner you aren't getting as much of a high damage punish in return.
    And this is coming from a Nier main 😅
    Man I just liked her because she was my first evoker in the app game and her story is sad and she needs lots of therapy ;-;

    • @MarkAvatar2012
      @MarkAvatar2012 Před 6 měsíci

      Yes you can spot dodge the first slice and punish her. You can also heavily punish her RS unblockable setup, just spot dodge her RS and than punish her with a full combo. In that senario, not only she gets punished but she lost 1 BP and a lot of heart stacks. You can also use a invicible super on reaction after her 236M+ 22L+ 623H+ 214H; the only way for Nier to be safe in that senario is to only input 236M, but like I said you can definetly react to 1 single input and multiple inputs. People like to complain but the reality is they don't even know the matchup.

      @@DRKAugumonplease dint answer questions if you're going to be wrong.
      Ex skills in this game are H version of skills. These require no meter, but put that skill on an extended cooldown.
      Ult skills are the ones that cost super, but you're also wrong about the cost. Ult skills all cost 50 meter to cast. However, when cast raw, most skills refund 25 meter, resulting in a net 25 meter cost. Any ult skill when cancelled into, as well as ult reversals do not refund the 25 meter. This is important be a use you cannot use an ult skill with only 25 meter, you must have 50, even if casting raw.
      Ex moves are also not just a Granblue concept, games like SF6, or Uni all have EX moves. They always cost some sort of extra resource, most often Super meter, which is where granblue differs, since in GBVSR, the cost for EX is a cooldown. Ex versions usually have a significant power up attached. In GBFVR, its mostly extra combo potential, better frame data, or something of that nature.

    Nier was by far the character I was the most excited to play on release because I love playing puppet characters (also Death's aestethic just speaks to me on a spiritual lv) and I gotta say that the devs delivered, however.... there is no denying that right now she is incredibly overtuned. She has the best offense AND defense in the game wich should not be allowed on a chracter like her, not to mention for some reason you cannot hit death while inactive and her regular super scales with your lack of resource (I'm fine with her SSBA working like that but her regular one is just too much). Hopefully the dev team wont break her legs on the 1st patch because I still think that she's incredibly fun just not when you are ageinst her.

    This is my problem with the difficulty tier list you made, and I commented on this back then - you claimed she was the single hardest character in the game pretty much, when the reality is that she's piss easy to achieve results with and just has a lot of room for optimization.

You say that other characters has to use their cooldowns on wake-up reversals or corner carry, well Nier has to use her stacks. Also, the fact that sometimes she ends the round with just half of her stacks just shows that some player don't even have the patience to defend. Do you even realize how much Nier has to pay in advance in order to set her mixups? I guess you don't, like 4 to to 5 hearts in a mixup that might be blocked. I agree her Dp has to go, it's really dumb, but you can't simply nerf her heart management without tuning the refresh time; all the proposed nerfs I've seen so far have the potential to bring this character to Zato level.
