You have amazing solutions for Legion: Immortality with 2x power, one hit etc.

You have amazing solutions for Dynasty: Immortality with Shadow Form, amazing combos in Shadow Form.

But the problem is: You haven't got any amazing solution for Heralds. Just refill your Shadow Energy and make sure that your opponent lost his time. You must dodge your opponents' attacks for countering other factions and you must try to give no chance like Dynasty which is combo faction. 🤦‍♂️ So, I don’t think that it will be easy for Heralds this time. You have to remember that despite all those nerfs, Heralds are still very efficient in stomping opponents whatever their faction is.

Actually Arbitrator is fast and unstoppable until the user of this weapon gets critical or takes hit from shadow ability. If you know how to use, this Legion weapon will be really powerful and fast like Bonecrushers. So, without dodging attacks from far distance or without doing combo for no giving any chance, I don’t think that we can do anything against them. Yes, sometimes Heralds' critical can be very effective but I saw the moments sometimes about what if my critical chance doesn't work. In these moments, Arbitrator will be really superior If user knows how to use it. So, with this weapon and set bonus, they will always have a chance for doing one hit to opponent If Arbitrator user doesn't get critical. Lastly, after this talking, I decided to show Arbitrator's real power as a style fighter. Can I bring to here some video links?
 * With Critical Mass perk, no more worrying about critical not appearing; 90% of the time you'll get a critical just by landing one successful special move combo.
 * Heralds have a wide array of weapons that can easily interrupt 2h Swords: Katana+Rolling Waves, Sai+Double Edge, Glaive+anything, Iaido+Kenjutsu, Kusarigama+Leash, the list goes on.
 * Forget lack of knowledge. The earliest you'll face any Abdicator is Chapter 5. At that point, everyone should have know already how to deal with this kind of thing ala Sarge Walk and Win on Timeout.
 * Heralds shadow abilities are instantaneous and can be used to stall time for 10 seconds. Heck, even Glaive shadow ability takes a full 5 seconds to be executed. Just wait for your opponent to stand up a bit and then continue with another ability. Short, controlled burst.
 * And keep in mind that 2h Swords are not that fast. You can easily interrupts them (for Guillotine or Maelstrom users) or rolls away from their range (Caveman's Rage users). If you want, you can also throws all your ranged weapon to them, this will stall time by like 3-5 seconds.
