I've been waiting for a sword and board knight. I've really enjoyed playing BP and I've found him to be pretty solid but nowhere close to unbeatable. It's too soon for me to make a solid call but to this point he's felt more balanced than the Wu Lin did upon realease.

[@drizod7771]

*You might wanna read this.* Black Prior's crushing counterstrike has a unique and (I think) unintended interaction with external blocks: If you execute Black Prior's crushing counter strike on an external block, damage from the crushing counter strike will be dealt to the opponent you are currently focused on. This is helpful when you're outnumbered and need a specific opponent to die.

[@cobbler9136]

I need like, 500 more steel before I can get BP, as he's the last Knight hero I need before I have the entire faction, and while Ubi made the little event where there was a week where BP was free to play, I got him to level 10. One thing I found was, I love him almost as much as Centurion, but more than Gladiator, and he's really good at defending friends and self during ganks. Using his feats to give shielding to a low health teammate while both teams are breaking is incredibly helpful. But, more importantly, a playstyle thing that I found was that doing a light attack, gb for shield bash, and then another light (or heavy) is quite the combo. I've fought many BP's before, and *none* of them used this combo. And then I did, and the died. This combo works for new players, who aren't quite into the "feint everything you do, and gb everything no matter what" and for those who are in that stage of "high level" play, try: light -> shield bash -> heavy feint (any direction) -> side light (usually opposite the side you light attacked the first time from. I'm only rep 13, 2 on Warden, 1 on everyone, (save for BP) and 4 Centurion. So, I'm not an amazing player, but this works, most of the time. If there are any super high rep players, and you try this, tell me how it works! Thanks for reading, and for all factions, good luck on the Faction War. Deus Vult my Knight brethren!

[@Dustinmaester]

vortigers only damaging attack is normal light and heavy attacks... do you think he is only going too use heavy attacks so you can parry him alll day? no that doesnt make sense ofc he is going too spam light attacks and bash that is his only option.

[@not_a_wise_man9772]

@@Dustinmaester If those are his only things then use them as you see fit, more power to the character. However, when he has a shield Bash that rewards him with 20 damage while being safe we've got a problem. If he throws a neutral light then 90% of the time I will parry it, yeah, I got good and learnt how to parry them. However, when he has a tool that is either reward or neutral then that is a problem. If on a read I manage to dodge his bash I gain nothing. Warlord on a whiffed headbutt is at least hit with a Dodge attack at most guard broken for massive damage. Every tool in the game has a certain danger associated with it. 400Ms lights trade fast damage for a huge punish. Dodge attacks, in most cases, save you from taking damage while countering yourself although they can be baited and punished. Bashes, used to, put you in a state of danger. Guaranteed damage and/or combo potential while not bring able to protect yourself on a missed attack. Example, headbutt and predator' s hunger. There is no trade-off with Black Prior's shield Bash, that is what I'm not fine with. His bulwark stance trades potentially 30 damage for a guard break, his bash, nothing. 20 damage for neutral game against 90% of the cast. A bad Player yes, he will put himself in OoS for spamming it but in my case that I play Berserker as of late, I have no way of draining his stamina beside parties and GBs, both of which you cannot land against a Bash spamming good Player. To put it shortly, when used by a decent Player the shield bash is an unpunishable tool. Outrageous! Yeah, and warlord my dead main does 12 damage.

[@Dustinmaester]

@@not_a_wise_man9772 lol i am sorry but there is no way im reading all this, but you can punish bp with a gb when he goes for a bash. its a free gb if timed right. ( wait nvm i think that was only working as a raider my bad) you can still just play warden tho, dodge his bash and use your own bash works everytime for me.

What’s the deal with his name tho actually, like which one is it man

[@SilentLegion96]

Black Prior is the ‘class’ per say. While Vortiger is the name for this particular male character of said ‘class’. For lore purposes. For example the woman Kensei in the campaign has a name (Ayu), just like all other heroes. I believe the lore is in Ubi’s For Honor website.

[@mitchellfrost6588]

SpanglishPR123 yea makes sense, kinda weird how they did that tho

[@SilentLegion96]

Mitch Frost Why is weird? It’s just like a real world military, for example. Each soldier can be called a member of the military (faction). Every one of them has a designated roll and rank (class), infantrymen, medic, engineer; sergeant, private, etc. And each of them has an individual name, but can be called by their respective class or faction.
