Hey guys. My alliance just came out of an AW today where both me and my girlfriend had the luck of taking on a total of 8 nightcrawlers which we absolutely burn. Let me share some tips and hopefully this would help address the issue of this so call bug because honestly I think it is more bad luck then bug.
Enemies in AW perform differently depending on the nodes they are on so there is no way to actually reproduce the exact scenario unless you guys provide the specific nodes and signature levels of the NCs you were fighting.
Next is the Swashbuckling mode thingy. When he dashes back and holds block to begin the swashbuckling timer, you only dash forward to hit him after the timer has run around a quarter to a third of its course and hit only between 3-4 hits on his block (I found out that 3 is more ideal but you need to get the timing right) and by doing so 8/10 times we can get him to switch mode. If you go too early, you run the risk of him evading if you try to land 4-5 hits on him to run his timer down or counterattacking/evading back again after you've hit him 3 times.
The timer disappearing thing as mentioned by two fellas here I have to attribute it to NC letting go of his block and then blocking again. I am pretty sure there is no bug because honestly we took down NCs in the last few wars with relative ease.
Hope this helps.
I think most of us know how to fight NC. That strategy is not working as it shound. It is the game, not the user. Watch the vid above.
