For Honor: 10 Gameplay Features Ubisoft Didn't Tell You About
8. 12 Unique Heroes
For Honor features 12 distinct heroes for the player to take into battle and upgrade over a number of hours of gameplay. Of the three factions – Viking, Knight or Samurai – there are four different warrior types, broadly categorised as vanguards, heavies, fast-paced assassins and hybrids.
The Knight faction holds The Wardens (vanguard), The Conquerors (high defence), The Peacekeepers (quick, dual-wielding assassins), and The Lawbringers (hybrids).
The Samurai equivalents are made up of The Kensei, the terrifying Shugoki, The Orochi, and the long-range Nobushi, and finally, the Vikings comprise of The Raiders, The Warlords, The Berserkers, and The Valkyries.
While some are stronger or faster than others, there is great balance between all types. No matter how much you've invested in one warrior class, some battles will require you to switch up in order to defeat your opponent.
