Quick guide to the Conqueror

Charge up heavy attack while blocking. If they are stupid enough to strike, block it and instantly release it to chunk their HP.

Shield bash is a move you will use a ton, garunteed light attack unless you push them into a wall. If they get shoved into a wall and stunned, you can heavy attack and bash again and again until you are out of stamina. Unless they know how to escape then you will at least get 2 sets in, maybe 3 before they get out.

Shield bash can only be used in these circumstances:

While sprinting, after a dodge, after a heavy attack, or while in full block mode (holding straight down to block). All of these are simply pressing the guard break button during or after these commands.

Once an opponent is out of stamina you can put on a lot of pain. Sprint at them and try to shield bash, if they take the hit they are on the ground and you get a free heavy. If they dodge, congratulations they used stamina and they are set up for a guard break, which will toss them onto the floor for a free heavy.

Be warned, you can't tech out of a guard break if you are charging your heavy or if your light attack gets blocked. If you are charging a heavy and someone dodges in close without attacking, then let it go and hit them before they get the guard break in.

Your best bet is to get someone on a wall and do the heavy, shield bash combo.  Just swing side heavy then shield bash repeatedly until they escape the wall.

You MAY get a side heavy in after a guard break, but the timing is very very tight on it so I just go for a light attack since it's safer.  If you can, side heavy + shield bash + light will give you the most bang for your buck out of a guard break, but be warned that assassins can dodge the bash.  Versus assassins just use a heavy or light, otherwise you will most likely be punished.

Unlike most characters his overheads don't do anymore damage then side attacks.

He can not feint, you can however do somewhat the same thing by going into full block mode during a swing.

You can infinitely chain your light attack as long as you keep changing directions. Don't expect this to work except against shitty players.

I think that's about it for him.
