Nice video but pls dont act that this hero required ANY skills to kill 60-85% of the players Ubi makes new Heroes terribly unbalanced as fuck so they can get some extra money before they do some nerfing cuz that 60-85% players left the game for the next patch.

Highlander shugoki and raider were grabbing people since for ever. Warlord Lawbringer gryphon and medjay also have some form of a grab.

I'm a lil jealous that the new heroes get such unique feats that compliment their gameplay and weapon. I kinda want the devs to try giving 1 unique feat to older heroes that don't have them.

[@elwiwi4638]

if old heroes were given the same treatment as her it'd be an awesome game, feel like this is what peacekeeper could've been tbh

[@mkdemigodzillawarrior]

Yeah it’s pretty neat to finally have a mace hero! Also, I kind of see her as a mixture of Conqueror and Shinobi’s moves, but I can see how Centurion could be seen in her move set as well.

[@AZ_The_Dude]

Concqueror: Who are you? Afeerah: I'm you but I can do a flip. Conqeuror: I have more power in my hips tho. Medjay: Did everyone forget about me?

[@aiellamori]

5:54 as a side note, I think all new heroes should have previous event and battle pass cosmetics. You have no idea how bad I wanted the horkos phantom effect for warmonger

[@MarcoYolo]

110% agree, would be nice if somehow someway they were able to offer the battle pass cosmetics for the heroes that missed out on their season's content

“Arabian Knights”. Okay you have to admit, that was a good pun.

This is probably the most I've been hyped for a new hero since Gryphon. She looks so much fun!

She’s Arabian not Persian. That’s like the difference between Chinese and Japanese. Very different.

[@hopeyouaredoingwell4705]

Is it just me or do I feel like I'm gonna love playing her but HATE fighting her when she releases

[@EliteKnight97]

Having played her for the past few days I’d say she’s really fun, great animations looks and executions, actually worth getting

[@ovyle]

When you realize that the vikings and the wu Lin got their "Newest" heroes in year 3😔

[@venompool_is_here9042]

Its bullshit I don't get this there is so much potential for the vikings and wu lin but they won't do it and I thought the hero would be a outlander

[@ovyle]

@@venompool_is_here9042 Fax, they can give the wu lin heroes weapons like: Gauntlets, a spear (A way over the top one, with different types of cloths or accessories), a meteor hammer, the tekko's or tekko kagi. And for the Vikings: An archer (fights with bow, uses first feat to fire arrows), a norse take on a pole arm, bare hands (with full body Armor of course) or a staff (like a norse druid)

[@Andrew-yq4vb]

Been waiting for some kind of Mongolian hero for a while.... or at the very least a viking brawler (hand to hand) hero... sadly, I think the outlanders are gonna be the catch-all for new heros

[@The_Custos]

Forget Chyyyna, time for ARABIAN NIGHT, LIKE ARABIAN DAYS!

[@GeistDrachen]

@@ovyle for the Wu Lin, either a unique polearm of some kind or the jian sword could work. For the Vikings, an axe and shield combo or some other kind of polearm would be great. A bow wouldn't work because we've seen how problematic ranged attacks are, hence why they reworked Shinobi. Bare hands also wouldn't work as I don't see it functioning in any other way except as a bash (unless you really want a hero that does nothing but damaging bashes). And Shaolin already has a staff so it'd be pointless to have another one.

[@HYDESDM]

That fourth execution got me actin' unwise, yo. And she looks hella fun to play and mess around with. Unlike Kyoshin.

Finally. Been begging for a mace hero since release but only had Conq. Now the mace queen is here

[@Tekurin]

i think afeera represents most of historical middle eastern states rather than just arabic, arabian culture is the most dominant one obviously, but some of her helmets and armour looks like the ones that seljuks and ottomans wear, plus some persian

[@lordhelmchen3154]

Damn, that dance emote 'boutta make me act up. It seems Nobu got a new rival. Jokes aside, Afeera is the most interesting character they released in like two years in my opinion. Almost made me consider reinstalling the game but I am past falling for this toxic addiction again.

[@blestamax7430]

I feel like this was actually a bit of a miss, since I believe an Arabic inspired faction could have been feasible. Along with Janissaries and some form of assassin like Ubi had in AC:Revelations would have been a step in the right direction and proof that the Wu Lin's... issues were learnt from. Also, wouldve been nice if all those event rewards like colors or patterns for faction would also be available to heroes that don't exist yet but are part of a faction (so this doesnt contradict with my earlier statement about new factions, they could just add one battlepass spot that gives out the reward for nondescript 'future faction')

@@Fallenhell100 She’s better in duels than in fours. Her flip has surprisingly small window of s, and input window. Her external hit boxes on chain heavies don’t exist, and the bash ones are awful.

On light hitstun or whiff you can light her out of the knee follow up regardless.
