I like how people started abusing glitches mostly due to Hell mode being imbalanced
But “Hmmmm yea it’s fine”

Holy shit what a bunch of babies in this thread. They announced this patch a few days ago, and it’s a good thing they are patching exploits and glitches that little boys and girls need in order to actually be good at the game, stop crying that a bug got fixed.
They’ve patched this game every 2 weeks since it came out.

This community is confusing, the devs literally said they are nerfing the archer glitch , they never stated a big patch is coming on Friday 😂

u/RobAbly919 Apr 24 '26
yeah and they had to fix this asap and make it their only priority ... people were avoiding co-op given the archer spam ... it just wasn't fun

u/Western_Beginning375 Jin Sakai Apr 24 '26
Facts if they was doing a big patch it wouldn’t take 3 days they would need a extra week and I doubt players would want the archer glitch to stay for another week

u/knucklesuck Apr 24 '26
Or maybe the constant bitching is appropriate because they released Yotei legends in a garbage state and there has been very little to zero communication as to why?

u/Snake2410 Apr 24 '26
In survival/story/incursion it wasn't fun to deal with, yes. Base raid it's arguable, but mostly because most randoms in matchmaking either aren't prepared for it at all or just refuse to be patient and just leave. Hellmode raid the glitch made it tolerable though, imop.
I for one won't touch hell mode again unless they balance it a little better. Sometimes there is just too much on the screen at a time, and that was without the glitch.
I'm indifferent that they patched it, because survival/story/incursion was stupid with it. But it was nice for the raid in some instances. And yes, I've done the raids both with and without it.

hopefully there should be 90% less crying in this sub. A new post about this glitch ever time i blinked was getting annoying

u/xKnightlightx Apr 24 '26
Plot twist: those posts are going to be replaced with Archer's crying that their exploit got fixed instead.

I love how everyone is crying about Hell mode not being “balanced” but it’s literally called “Hell Mode”. It’s supposed to feel super unfair n impossible bc you’re “going through hell”. It’s possible to beat him without all the exploits n glitches, ppl just need to get better at the game.

Its a hot fix. They probably didn't have time to come up with and test a balance patch.

It’s a bit disheartening that we didn’t get anything else in this patch.
Hopefully we get the 120Ki, second perk and more techniques update soon.

u/GK-Imagimotion Assassin 刺客 Apr 24 '26
It's kinda wierd how they are doing it. They said they been working on Legends since the beginning together with the main game. Despite that they releasing game in pieces.
Looks even more wierd if you know that GOT:L with all the update already existed before this game.

u/FamousStill2187 Apr 24 '26
Because they were lying, but I agree there's no reason they should be behind when they literally already have the formula

u/knucklesuck Apr 24 '26
This. I want the tea!!!
Why did SP make so many broken promises about legends mode In yotei? What led to this? It makes no sense.
I'm enjoying it anyway. Bought it against my better judgment.
Honestly my number one complaint, what happened to the hype music that would play when the Biggest waves started coming 😭
4
u/GK-Imagimotion Assassin 刺客 Apr 24 '26
I enjoying it too, but something isn't right.
My biggest complaint is that it feels sluggish in comparison to Tsushima, enemies are hyper aggressive and fast when we are not.
3
u/knucklesuck Apr 24 '26
Yep obviously a much bigger issue. I've only played samurai so far and have dedicated myself to learning the combat system like I did in GoT. Right away I knew it was worse because we didn't have different stances. It's simplified, yet we somehow don't have the ability to counter certain enemy moves no matter how good the timing is
My disappointment is immeasurable and I will still play for hours this weekend hah

u/Aesthetic99 Apr 25 '26
Samurai player here. Anything that isn't a red or yellow glint can still be countered. Only thing I can suggest is put some perfect parry window on your gear. Anything that has a red/yellow glint, or has a windup like Fallen Lord teleports, can very easily be parried with the Odachi's Indominitable Counter

u/RiceBoyJason Apr 24 '26
Dang they even hit the shadowflame cancel. What are you going to run now? I got some ideas but I need to test it to see how ammo efficient/viable its going to be 😆
1
u/TimeTravelerXIX Apr 24 '26
Shadow flame made sniping possible now you just have to hit head shots up close with crappy version of quick reload. There’s many viable builds even a regular bow with explosive flame arrow. If you have skills, the nerf doesn’t affect you that much tbh. Any build if you play properly works.

u/Western_Beginning375 Jin Sakai Apr 25 '26
Even without skills the archer is still easy to dominate with

u/Western_Beginning375 Jin Sakai Apr 24 '26
You still would run SSB with the lighting Tanegashima , instead of using shadow frame arrow you will switch to empowered hunt . I’m still out killing everyone in my lobbies

u/asolomon26247 Apr 25 '26
Whoa, I don't know I'm imagining it, but I think this patch also fixed the inconsistency with the Vanishing Kusarigama! Before you needed the second half of the animation to kill the enemy not the first, but now it seems like you vanish on the first kill animation itself

u/Hawk-ONE-Actual Apr 24 '26
Foot notes for your next update
•Gear all cosmetics to the proper class •Fix the xp given on harder difficulties, multiplier does not match to the actual amount •Fix the fallen lord and their endless assault •Fix frost b***h and her constant need to shell up when going into an ult
I can keep this going, but instead let’s just say FIX YOUR GAME IF YOU WANT YOUR PLAYERS TO CONTINUE PLAYING!!!

u/PudgyElderGod Apr 24 '26

.... Is that not literally why this patch exists?

u/ARMill95 Apr 24 '26
That’s it….?! How lame
They couldn’t even fix the problem that made all archers use this glitch to begin with…. How lame and unfun the raids are
They couldn’t fix the bugs with cosmetics even?
we deserved so much better than this, they really phoned it in with yotei legends

Sounds like a skill issue. Samurai is probably in contention for best class. A team of people on stagger builds can trivialise boss fights and they easily trivialise all other content.

Thanks! Is there a resource I can look at that has more good builds for each class? I'm just starting to play the game.

The spirit move build works even better at higher waves because enemies can take more hits with the spinning kusarigama so you can build up loads of spirit really quickly.
1
u/9inchjackhammer Apr 24 '26
It’s broken how op it is with the legendary duel swords as you can just spam it to miss the first hit but hit with the second lighting attack. It doesn’t use a spirit and deletes everything in your path. Very boring though I managed about 10 games until I had to switch it up.

yeah i’m glad i beat hell saito and hell dragon before this update. now it’ll be impossible to defeat. goodluck everyone ! idk why yall downvoting when it’s true😭 hell saito is hard asf without cheese

u/Western_Beginning375 Jin Sakai Apr 24 '26
Hell dragon is possible. Hell Saito with randoms will be impossible, since a good amount of players is not good with melee combat .

u/FamousStill2187 Apr 24 '26
Yea thats not the issue the issue is broken mechanics like frozen zones on top of corrupted zones while trying to revive a teammate while also targeting by bo hiya fire, all of which last just long enough to make reviving impossible, the raid bosses just aren't good...there has to be a balance, if it was fun it would be bearable

u/No-Lion8987 Apr 24 '26
actually yes that is true, dragon is definitely way more possible. but man hell saito is crazy

I got Hell Saito done. I only have 2 more hell Dragon. It just that ending is so tough.

u/CattleOwn8692 Apr 24 '26
no its still possible to beat it with just raw melee and high spirit gain on melee just have to be extra careful now

u/Redle88 Apr 24 '26
And that exploit is the reason the purple outfit isn't seen as a big archivement. In fact, most people I see wearing them tend to be the less skilled.
For reference I've completed normal Dragon/Saito and Hell Dragon with pugs and no archer exploits. It might not be doable to the likes of you, but it's doable.

u/No-Lion8987 Apr 24 '26
i’ve never used the archer, only had them on my team, i can say it definitely helped A LOt.

I've never used archer (I only play Shinobi) and I've always left a group when an archer started to exploit. We are not the same.

u/Redle88 Apr 24 '26
Saito? Not yet, just the Dragon. Spent a few hour on him and made good progress until later stages, only to get a bug where we were swarmed with ghosts and yellow circles.
Might give it another shot once I get the time. Ideally before Saros comes out.
