Any update on nerfing high ground in war?

Just looking for clarification because of the punishing block damage on opponents that aren’t that straight forward with intercepting. The answer can’t always be just to intercept your way through a hard war fight.

    The other answers are

    1) managing your combo meter
    2) energy resistance
    3) blowing the opponent up before it matters
    4) regeneration

    Higher tiers didn't have it last season. Maybe some people would want the "challenge" for the coming season?

    I don't mind it. It's rough but the items from packages covered it.
    Bring it to T-1 so ytubers can showcase it. It's hard to explain people how to tackle it on daily basis.

    They get it for next season; High ground - 3.
    We will see more complaints and higher level of “nerf” threads appearing.

    We got the "Slow Your Roll" Attack Tactic to enhance the "Untouchables" Defense Tactic. You know, apply the tactic so the opponent can get a ton of extra power gain...

    When do we get the Attack Tactic to enhance "High Ground"? I'm expecting something like:

    Trenches - Well-timed blocks double the High Ground damage but resets the High Ground Timer back to 0

    Sniped - Receiving a blow from any of the defenders special attacks removes all High Ground charges

    Vantage Point - Successfully evading any of the defenders special attacks removes a High Ground charge at 50% of the energy damage cost.


    What would you pick? You have any ideas on how to make High Ground even more OP?... 😅

    Most of all I would like the top 100 biggest alliances to agree that season 30 should not be played at all, I think that is the best way to abolish high grounds, because what Kabam is doing is punishing everyone who loves this game.

    I can confirm my alliance will be participating but the other 99 feel free to take a break lol

    It’s really just maw and nova right? Nova has some hard counters like sorcerer but I could see maw being tricky?

    Maw is 99% going to be on a path 7 node, he is an absolute pain in the ass there.
    SP99 can blow maw up there even with High Ground, took it yesterday in offseason.

    Funnily, it does add a lot of difficulty, because
    1) Placing high ground on fights where you cant burst them down is the right placement, and you take a lot of block damage
    2) cant be quaked
    3) Torch nova Mode is 100% required for each of these fights (if using torch)
    4)doom shocks have to be removed asap, else you are taking a ton of damage
    5) adds an extra layer of assignment in wars.

    Not to mention block damage is pretty ridiculous. It is not easy, and most of all, quite a potion eater.
    Energy resist options : YJ, Guardian, Sorc Supreme, Havok. WM with prefight. Nobody else really mitigates the energy damage.
    Any time you slow down the fight, the charges build up. It is better to take hits to the face than blocked hits if the fight is taking time.
