Remember backdraft intercepting?

So remember how in the past, you could intercept an opponent by striking into their block and then dashing back to intercept with a medium? Well, I think we all know how that was nerfed so now we can only do it if we landed a hit in the first place. But I discovered a champ who can actually do it like the way it used to be! Guess who...

    If anybody's interested, I'll tell you after about 24 hours or so. 😉

    You can do a backdraft from a block if you use a light instead of a medium for nearly every champion if the ai is aggressive enough

    Yeah, but doing it with a medium feels much more fluid doesn't it?

    No, that only works if you hit them. Trying to light intercept after hitting a block will just result in you getting hit. You can guarantee a parry though, or a dex.

    Unduped? Also, I'm still relatively new. How useful is it to do into block instead of from hit? I have a 5* Darkhawk unduped. Does this give him any use or not?

    Signature ability doesn't matter in this case, it's intercepting we're talking about. Also, doing it from block gives you more openings and less need for parrying or dancing around.

    I can tell you this DH cannot do it reliably 100% of the time, you may just fought some agressive AI

    Damn. Well, he's the one I find can do it the most. If that's really the case, then any last hope of that particular playstyle is probably permanently gone :/

    Yeah, if only they would fix this bug, will never happen though
