Amazonian? Mongolian? - Y8S4 Outlander Hero Thoughts ep.1 | New Hero Hype | For Honor

[@jmanmajor1290]

I said this in one of my videos and to all my friends anytime it comes up. All I want is for this hero to be Mongolian and the next 2 heroes are Wu-Lin(to give them some love) and the next year lore-wise would be about fighting off the invasion.

[@MisterArdor]

@jmanmajor1290 Thanks for stopping by this channel and dropping your thoughts. 👊🏼 Y9 being the year of the Wu Lin would be perfect, especially with their talk of the Outlander hero shaking things up. Perfect time to introduce new Wu Lin heroes to combat the Mongolian threat. They definitely need some love, it's been too long. No doubt Y8S4 plants those seeds for big Y9 for the Wu Lin. Thanks for watching! 🫡

I believe the skin is for VG, as shown in the leak. If they didn't show it, I'd think it would be for JG 🔨! Heroes of hero fests are not usually.

[@scriptures7025]

JJ is a spitting image of guan yu. So I could see a skin for him

[@MisterArdor]

@@scriptures7025 First thought when I saw JJ during the Marching Fire reveal was Guan Yu lol. Shout out to Dynasty Warriors! Do you think they'll continue to tie the hero to the recently released hero skin? Thanks for watching! 🫡

I'm designing my own heros for the game at the moment. Mainly just to practice animating for games. Is there any character ideas that people really want to see? Have personalities and looks for all of these but too much to say for a yt comment. So here's the weapons they would use Rapier (knight) Wind and fire wheels ( Wu Lin) Seax Knife / Bare handed (Viking) Venka/ blowgun (Samurai) Spear and tower shield (Outlander)

[@MisterArdor]

@@wanhedasbro2194 Awesome stuff! 👌🏽 Do you post your designs on Reddit?

[@wanhedasbro2194]

@MisterArdor Not as of right now. Was gonna wait until I've done all models and animations for them. At the moment I have 3 of the characters animations done and all weapon models done. Yet to do the armour for any of them yet though. Only have ideas of looks for them through pictures ive seen as i cant do 2d art to save my life lol. If people think any of what I've done is worth posting i may give it a shot

All I know is that the Wu Lin still have to wait a really long time for their next hero.

[@commanderslap6656]

I thought we all knew that the Hero skin for the Wu Lin was going to be a Mulan styled skin for Tiandi, and the hero was going to be a Mongolian warlord. As it was stated the final hero this year was a "Female Villian", once you think about it, it makes way too much sense.

[@MisterArdor]

@@commanderslap6656 I hear ya, but it's all speculation until the fog clears. Thanks for watching! 🫡

[@bongo6720]

Today I looked around in the battlepass and the second emblem outline you get around tier 90ish is not viking themed from what I can tell. Last season the outline placed in a similar spot was viking saga themed, so perhaps this new outline in the BP could give us a hint as to the culture of this hero.

[@MisterArdor]

@bongo6720 Good stuff Bongo! I'll definitely check that out and credit you if included in a future vid. Thanks for watching! 🫡

[@aradvila2000]

Preferrably as a new assassin too

[@Sequence-XIII]

Would be dope but it would be better to be a long range like nobushi. (I say game wise for I know the faintest thing about rapiers) and if it’s with the knights they already got like 2 assassins i think.

[@Tyler-vu8yr]

They’d probably be based on musketeer akin to the 3 Musketeers from French folklore, and likely belong to the Knights faction since Western Europe largely encapsulates where the Knights of Ashfeld would be from

[@staytruog]

Theres been a trend of the recent female heroes being better than the males, v guard is a defense powerhouse meanwhile ocil doesn’t even have a bleed which makes his kit feel incomplete… soh is actually buns & i dont know how to fix him without replacing those unblockables with ha

Amazonian should be saved as a hero skin for valk and make a spartan hero instead, think about the trailer for that, big shield and spear vs small shield and spear. Also hoping it isn't varangian guard anything but her

[@MisterArdor]

@fmjacket5353 Agree, but I think we're going to be disappointed. Watch the next vid on Outlander hero thoughts tomorrow. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see! Thanks for watching and hope you'll watch the next one and potentially the last one until we have something more concrete. 🫡

[@alessiomicaletti8101]

Minute 5:46 you said the truth, we can't know now. We talk a lot about this Amazonian warrior, but what I can clearly see is that nobody while saying this ask himself an important question. What are the connection between Amazonian and Chinese warrior, since the last season of year 8 is gonna be Wu-Lin themed. History tells us that Gengis Khan tried to attack great wall of China but he failed. So in my opinion the last season will have the theme of China against Mongolia, and the hero will be mongolian. Now, how they are gonna adact a possible archer on For Honor world, I clearly have no clue, but I'm ready for suprises. In the end what the guy on the comment you show said about Vg its true, but everybody forget that the 24 October, there is gonna be the Halloween event, so Vg is gonna have a Halloween themed skin. Otherwise what you said its true we only need to wait. Edit: I found an article called: "The Yang Family and Mu Guiying - the Chinese Amazons" looks like that Yang women were celebrated liken Chinese Amazon. Of course this is also a speculation.

[@MisterArdor]

@alessiomicaletti8101 Alessiooo!!! Always good to hear from you. You're like a new hero genie. Talk about a new hero, and you pop up! 😁 Yes, my thinking aligned with yours. How would the Wu Lin factor in? Tying in those hero skins and the timing of that skin during an Outlander season, it just points to Mongolian to me. Since the hero is female, that's why I went with Khutulun. She has ties to Khan. But yeah, we just don't have enough information. However, I appreciate all Intel because we don't know, so Colt's thoughts aren't invalidated. We just need more info. It's coming! Thanks for the watching and the article drop. Will definitely check it out after work, lol! 🫡

[@samfish2550]

It still hurts my soul that by year two of existing outlanders will have the same number of heros as the WuLin INCLUDING A HERO THAT IS CHINESE!

[@MisterArdor]

@samfish2550 It's insane, fr!! Mentioned in one of my vids after Y8 visions vid came out that maybe Y9 will be for the Wu Lin. They gotta get some love in Y9 and not another hero skin. Thanks for watching! 🫡

hey my friend I don't want to send rude I just feel the evidence that you gave in this video was like lustre.

[@MisterArdor]

@GeneralFujikiyo Hey Fujikiyo, no offense taken! You're stating your opinion. You're entitled to that. I will say, Idk what you mean about "evidence". I wasn't trying to prove a point either way. Just a possibility of a mongolian hero based on the past. Someone dropped a comment about the new Outlander hero in a previous vid, I wasn't even going to discuss the hero yet, but just did this to address it (although, I agree the VG connection alone is flimsy, but no proclamations were made off of that). I mainly wanted to provide some info as we prepare for what's next. Don't think anything is lackluster about that. I want to thank you for stopping by the channel and hope all is well your way! See ya around! 🫡

[@GeneralFujikiyo]

@@MisterArdor when I mean evidence I'm talking about how you got to the conclusion on being a Mongolian Warrior just because it's in the Chinese theme season doesn't mean it's going to be Mongolian themed just look at how the Viking season introduced an Egyptian Warrior.

[@MisterArdor]

@GeneralFujikiyo I hear ya and understand what you're saying. The focus was primarily on heroes released this year and the possibilities based on the hero skin. Both heroes released in 2024 have had ties to skins. It's a trend. That's all I was saying. I tell you what, General, or if I could call you GF for short. I would love to hear your take on what I have dropping next. I dont think it's lackluster and actually believe it's somewhat thought-provoking. 😁 Hope you will give it a listen/watch. Take care, my friend. Appreciate you. 🫡

[@SonnySanVista]

why amazonion? We have ocelotl so wouldnt it be redundant?

[@MisterArdor]

@SonnySanVista Amazonian's are warrior women. Ocelotl is an Aztec from my understanding. You may be thinking of the pan-amazon region of South America? I'm not sure. But short answer is, no, it wouldn't be redundant. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! 🫡

[@dix-neufcmsifredi2706]

Amazonian we re talking about are from greek's mythologie, they supposed to be somewhere around the Nord-Est greek if my memory is good, so nothing to do with ocelotl

[@thehendeefamily4940]

No, information is power the aztec's hailed from central mexico. The mayans hailing from central America, but the amazon hails in basically all of south america. Aztecs believed that dead warriors were reincarnated as hummingbirds

[@sith_lord]

I have a question what is TU2 ?

[@MisterArdor]

@sith_lord Title Update 2 = TU2. The devs breakdown each season in a couple of Title Updates. They normally do a Warrior's Den prior to each one. For example, you may have noticed via the roadmap for Year 8 Season 3 (Y8S3) that it consists of 2 hero skins. One in TU1 (Gudmundr the Great) and another in TU2. Those updates are the major updates that drop at the beginning of each TU. Hero patches, maps, etc.and also will let us players know when other deliveries will come during the update like Hero Fests and other events. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching! 🫡

Before I watch the video, all I want from Ubisoft is to give us a scythe hero. We have hook swords, a literal pole, a dude with 7 different weapons, a katana and scabbard, and no scythe. Seems like an easy pick to me

[@dix-neufcmsifredi2706]

Yeah, a proper war scythe with the blade aligne on the shaft would be great, that would be a change with scythe fantasy crap

[@ShayTheValiant]

A war scythe is just a glorified spear. Even though it's pure fantasy, using an actual scythe as a weapon would be way cooler.

[@dix-neufcmsifredi2706]

@@ShayTheValiant Nah, id rather have an actual weapon for a game like for honor that is supposed to be more grounded, especilally when there is still so many to use without going into fantasy stuff. A fantasy scythe in final fantasy, why not, but id like keep for honor serious ( hero like Medjay, Kyoshin and Jorm are on the edge of what is acceptable in matter of fantasy)

[@junkyporpoise4254]

I don’t mean to rain on the upcoming parade, but I do wish that the new hero would be unisex, I think there’s something cool about have a character be both sexes. It’s obviously cheaper and easier to make a single sex character but c’mon Ubi, all past 6 heroes have all been gender locked.

[@MisterArdor]

@junkyporpoise4254 Appreciate you expressing how you feel about it. Nothing wrong with what you're asking for. It would be nice if they could provide unisex heroes since it would give players more choice, which is good! I'm not bothered either way, as long as they keep mixing it up. Like you mentioned, budget does come into play. Thanks for commenting and watching! 🫡
