Easiest way to deflect in For Honor - Guide [Best moves in the game] Orochi

[@padanfain5145]

Nova King I had a question for you. I recently just started playing, and I was wondering if, with the amount of practice that you recommend, you think that you would be able to pull off deflects as effectively without the directional guard indicator? My goal is to play the game with no HUD whatsoever, and just learn to read the body language of my opponents. How realistic is that?

[@Nova_King_]

I think you're going to have a very hard time not using indicators, I wouldn't recommend it - you may be able to use deflects on heavy attacks without the red arrows but light attacks and zone attacks will really punish you. I understand you maybe want to challenge yourself but at least put around a day's playtime in before attempting it. I think playing with indicators will give you a much better experience but it's up to you. Good luck with For Honor!

[@padanfain5145]

Hey Nova. First off, I wanna say that im still enjoying the content you put out, so keep it coming. Between you, deathstalker synchro, and faraam, I've got all the orochi education I could hope for. So after several additional hours put into a mix of practice and online matches, I've come to the conclusion that the way you improve is really up to you. I personally found that the guard indicator was more of a distraction than anything. It feels like I've had more success with no hud elements than with them. Not sure if you've tried that approach, but I do recommend it even if just to see the difference. When you can see the indicator, or your health and stamina, or the score to win, it becomes just another thing that draws attention away from the task at hand. Every thought, every moment matters. And it seems as though the indicator can fool you if you watch it more than your opponent. Food for thought.

[@dna4805]

Nova King thx for the help I got this game super late but I like it and am trying to learn and get better 👍 great vid 👍

[@Nova_King_]

No problem! Good luck with For Honor!

[@Ziloracion]

Lol I usually do it on accident

[@debl2212]

Same haha

[@houndyboi290]

Same

[@lazyeye_o8916]

On my berserker I’ll realize I actually did one (accident of course) and I hit guardbreak so damned late they counter it

[@jolo7795]

Same thing with me

[@blaz3gam3z65]

Same

[@v1spr1]

You make this looks easy but in reality it's very hard

[@jon_ovo3653]

Gaming With Bilal true

[@pododododoehoh3550]

Gaming With Bilal I wouldn’t say deflecting is hard, just takes time to learn the timings just as with parrying

[@gitgud6698]

Like he says.. Practice

[@alcadark5722]

It sounds like " taa tata, taa tata" in my hed...... Yes I hnow -_- thx for the video

[@SecretDefect]

I accidentally did it perfectly 10 times in a row and it was all to upwards attacks

[@thelouster5815]

How to be good with deflections: Step 1: Be Nova King Step 2: You can't be Nova King Step 3: GG

[@unknowntemptation2737]

Hahaha I'm laughing my ass off

[@chrissosa3723]

One thing I learned the hard way is to NEVER deflect against a berserker

[@evanjohnson6148]

Xd

[@JoeMartinez18]

Yep... they just suck up your strike -_-

[@cyanideandsoda2326]

You can continuosly deflect until the end of their chain but that is really hard

[@agent-0]

Unless you're a berserker

[@flamingyomikins19]

P: yup cause zerker are epic

[@johnlinen222]

This video broke it down like no other. Thank you for explaining very thoroughly and pointing out some tips like the white flash. Ive been practicing these two moves woth no success for almost two days lol but i now have some confidence to try it out again

[@sin5orion]

This is the only video of many that I have watched that actually helps learn how to deflect, most people just say “you just doge right before it hits you”

[@warbossbenny6877]

2 years later and I'm looking at your guide to still help me out, thanks a bunches sweetheart

[@MorganFreeman69420]

This video is the true example on how to get subs!

[@gitgud6698]

Morgan Freeman and hatemail

[@patrickdunfee2384]

3:09, its easier to deflect top heavies for me

[@rasputinakasikor2623]

Patrick Dunfee same

[@keremaysan5841]

Same

[@javierescuella9709]

Patrick Dunfee Thats because there are more frames to deflect from the top attack (so more time to dodge into the attack) if you want to know more about this watch Freeze's deflect video, he talks more in depth about it.

[@overzealushd4890]

,same just more risky like he said

[@phoebehawk3215]

Same

[@reedjackson9984]

I love your grammar! Most youtubers are complete imbeciles when using english. I also respect the fact that you use bullet points. Oh, yes, the video was very informative as well... so kudos for that. Great video, Man!

[@Nova_King_]

Haha, thank you - I appreciate the comment! :D

[@shreyasshelke]

Not everyone is a native English speaker. A person’s knowledge and the quality of their content cannot be judged on the basis of their English. Always remember that most people who have imperfect grammar know more than one language.

[@alexgonzalezcervera1168]

English isnt the most spoken language around the world moron. Why there is always somebody who thinks he is the most fucking smart asshole ever?

[@davevanlaren2501]

@@shreyasshelke Perfect english is not required, but there is a fine line between imperfect english with minor mistakes and english that is so bad it becomes bothersome to have to read all the mistakes. Nobody's expecting you to type perfect english, but you can at least do your best to get the very basics right.

[@newend2116]

you say all this yet you didn't even capitalize "English" 🤦‍♂️

[@Lvqas_]

This video is almost 2 years old,but it helped me a lot,thanks!

[@h2olemon547]

This is a thorough guide. Doesn't miss a single detail. Thanks for the guide dude!

[@ncorvelli]

great video! so much better than the other gamers that waste 5 minutes of "showing off" and not explaining how to perform a specific action.

[@xavierirukusu2318]

This is ultimate guide for deflecting, I recommend watching

[@KashotGamer]

This was really helpful! No wonder why i was getting hit every time i deflected . Thanks m8 you just got a subscriber! :D

[@narotaro1914]

I've watched a lot of Orochi guides on how to deflect and this vid is by far the best in my opinion. Great video dude👍

[@johnnyvargas6127]

I watched a few videos on how to deflect, and yours helped me the most thank you

[@scotthunter649]

God I miss this era of for honor

[@springbiscuits3049]

I personally find it easier to deflect top attacks ,the window is more 'open' then deflecting side attacks. However, I didn't know that you could only deflect when the attack pulsed white. Now I know what I was doing wrong thank you Nova.

[@lesushisansriz944]

Finally someone who can explain thank you very much it's been a month that I was looking for how to do 😂👍

[@cliffdabigreddog7334]

Dude I’ve been spending hours on this and looking up tips videos, you break it down easy, finally, and thank you

[@yeliu1492]

checked this guide out again here. I remember Toeknee once mentioned that Nova is his favorite Orochi main (not officially tho). Toeknee's right! He's a god!

[@konstantinivanov1717]

If I was one of your teachers, and you presented this to me for a grade I would instantly give you an A+

[@blackhood5223]

Thanks for the tip I always went for a deflect too early.

[@ihatebmxriding]

Good vid!! all my friends who were trying to show me this never even mentioned the part about having to wait for the red arrow to pulse white! I was always just dodging into the attack’s getting hit. Thanks man for clarifying

[@okti1987]

Found the answer to my question :) I've been searching for someone who makes orochi videos, and at least i found your channel. Keep up the good work m8!

[@NotLixxa]

Thank you so much for this video I’ve been looking for a descriptive video but couldn’t find one were it showed the actual steps 10/10

[@SK1PP1S]

Thanks to this video i am a GOD at deflecting i would stream it if i wouldnt lag but thank you so much nova you truly are a mentor to teach people

[@flaccidmeseeks7542]

i already knew this, but i like how you break it down. its really cool and fascinating especially in slo-mo. maybe ill make some youtube videos like these. good job!!

[@jadbechara1132]

Finally someone who knows how to teach thanks man you deserve 👍

[@SILENTRAGE225]

I love the detail and the examples as well this video was so worth the last of my battery on my phone.

[@MrBones-cu1vi]

the bad audio quality fooled me but this was a really good guide thank you im trying to learn how to samurai jack

[@tonyseal2669]

Nice video man. Peace keeper is a pain to deflect against. Heavy deflect she can just walk around it. Berserker can hit you and cancel as well. And sugoki can bear hug straight after. I always stick with the lights with these. Unless they are out of stamina. Deflect against a law bringer trying to run and stick you is very satisfying though ;) deflect is love brother lol

[@wolffman1387]

This is the best guide I've found yet. Thank you so much!

[@professorzoom4814]

I’m color blind I didn’t know it pulses white till you told me lol this was a big help now my deflect timing can be clean.

[@Nemphyss]

Possibility of revisiting with current Orochi 2019 ?

[@danielkuhns829]

NovaCandy I would love that so much

[@chickensoldier3057]

This really helped me with my above deflects! Thanks!

[@LdawgsWrld]

Ayo i litrally got this game last week and I've been trying to master orochi and deflecting now i saw this video and i am the orochi king in my squad thank you bro

[@stephaniewhitfield4963]

I would also recommend setting up custom 1v1s against a mix of different enemy's to learn the timing through the how to play section and practice duels(spend around an hour on level threes to perfect it)

[@simonroux4874]

Nice guide, care with the sound of your videos. Still great man, keep it up !

[@Nova_King_]

Thank you! I had to remove a song from the video unfortunately so that's maybe why the sound was a bit strange at some points :L

[@leonthegamer8160]

thank u your the only person I could find to really explain it

[@calstri]

This is a very helpful video! I had no idea to dodge when it turned white. Thanks!

[@SirScramblees]

Was expecting a guide from king misty but this’ll do

[@wbhurt01]

Another tip for Orochi deflects: You can guard break if you choose to go with the heavy attack deflect. During that charge up for the stab you can break their guard but be careful as the opponent is capable of countering it and also parrying your heavy strikes. Definitely would say choose light deflect over a heavy

[@MoodyBlues22]

wbhurt01 even after the new patch?

[@Minecrafterjoeyjojo]

I always thought you had to guard in the same direction so this helps out

[@TheHellSpawn000]

best to practice with a Shugoki as AI. that gets you use to heavy attack times and if its a level 2 shugo it kinda makes you realize unblockable attacks... arent really unblockable... and it took me 2 hours of practice on berserker to get light attack times down. Use to hate fighting shugoki's now im a shugo slayer. also had a conqueror say I was hacking because I deflected "A CHAIN WEAPON!!!" also fun making kensei's piss themselves.

[@tacticalhaven]

TheHellSpawn000 I dominated an orochi who kept trying to deflect. not a good time for him, 3-0

[@asherohara2237]

So helpful thank you! Subscribed

[@Nova_King_]

Thank you!

[@neonknight-1522]

Nova King thanks for the help

[@popcorn4518]

Nova King tf why u don't have more subs

[@nickyramone2]

Great video, super helpful. Does this work for light attacks too or just heavies?

[@Nova_King_]

I believe it does work for light attacks too

[@calebmcintosh2733]

Good way to think about it is just instead of doing a parry do a dodge in the same direction, the timing for deflect and parry are virtually the exact same, they are both executed when the red guard flashes.

[@sangsik1]

omg, you're the best !

[@nauticalgaming2256]

For anyone new and looking for a little bit more info on the Orochi deflects, all of this is correct. However, there is one thing I would like to mention that isn't on this video: The light attack deflect, while it can be blocked it is very rare for them to block it. For the unblockable deflect, they can still be dodged.

[@barttt9701]

Press attack "When you see the sparks" Dude Thank you ! i was pressing dodge and attack at the same time :)

[@ceeyanator_6422]

Thanks man. Learning berserk, you made it easier.

[@justaglassofmilk8486]

This dude so good he can deflect a deflect

[@Gloomsong]

Thank you for this explanation....somehow orochi is one of the two heroes with which I do consistently well against my higher skilled friends...and even then I mostly make those deflects on accident. Now hopefully it will happen more often=)

[@Knight_of_the_Old_Code]

Very instructional video. Simple and to the point. Thanks for posting this!

[@bpatel6808]

Thank u this is a very helpful video. I’ve been watching ur other videos the passed week and there really fun to watch keep up the good work!👍🏽👌🏽

Dude u have to be the best guide person ever thank u,

[@javiergarcia8302]

And I'm still reputation 9 and I got this game when it first came out

[@D4ni3lS4nk3]

i love the video, very well explained, the slowed secuences help a lot and it is cool to see, thanks for doing this video

[@dripydrops9614]

Nova king you came in clutch with this vid

[@valentinjamier340]

thanks to you I managed to better handle the Orochi

[@julius4826]

Makes me look like trash😓 this video helped a bunch💯thx!

[@mrgoomba1679]

Thanks for the tip an love the video's. I was always dashing under the attacks an not getting the deflect. Thanks for the vid much love.

[@tylerbenci5644]

"Complete unpredictability".......... goes for a storm rush............

[@goobagaaba1600]

Um what’s wrong with that?

[@Spaarrow_]

@@goobagaaba1600 storm rush super predictable and easy to block

[@luckyrice672]

This was the when the game was released, everyone’s attack and block speed wasn’t quite there.

[@ryuu2974]

Having to plus to read sucks but it makes it easy to understand

[@SpiderRL]

thank you so much I finally understand how to do it so many people explained to me but I just couldn't do it, so thanks a lot!

[@dimitarradoslavov8088]

Honestly that is a great video. Thank you for making it. It helped me a lot. Thank you again and much love brother.

[@jimiyoshi_]

I thought you had to press R1 and dodge at the correct timing to deflect...I’m such a noob, thanks for the video

[@urheim3753]

The deflect can be blocked. If you do the deflect with heavy attack, it's possible to parry it.

[@jezddd]

It's a good move to throw out every now and then to surprise your enemy but against someone who feints you'll find it difficult to pull off. Only windgust is guaranteed. The other thing is it's easier to parry+double up light taps, or parry+GB+up heavy if they're close enough and it does more damage. Good vid though. Hopefully it gets a buff.

[@ghiurcanicu1845]

best explained video so far. thanks!

[@keeganmc0073]

Another good way to learn may be the samurai story mode, especially the Apollyon boss fight, if you do it with only deflect

[@karson8876]

This man deserves alotta likes

[@Royalty232]

Great guide! very well explained you earned my sub

[@ThargyalKungaTV]

Amazing video. Last part was hilarious 😂😂😂

[@juel.kzi10]

For all my fellow shinobis out there: always press the kick button after a deflect because it guarantees you a ranged heavy

[@Tamburahk]

deflects "hardest moves to pull off in the game" while some players are able to deflect 100% attacks even they are super 300ms no matter what direction

[@SK1PP1S]

Im one of those players that can deflect any move 😂

[@pokeyerface]

as a pc player I find that deflecting a top heavy or even light is easier than deflecting a left / right attack , now I know that I was dodging too soonn soo cheers....

[@Great32v]

Same on ps4, top attack deflect more easy then side

[@ronjonny6468]

Thx this helps a lot when I’m playing Orochi

[@kyleellick4850]

Best video for deflects ever

[@nyroachboy]

I'm late to the party, but holy shit... this video has helped me so much.

[@thescroll9038]

I knew how to deflect and am okay at it but I never knew about the white pulse so that's going to help

[@cornersphere7778]

Very helpful video and straight to the point. Thank you!

[@devanedwards8223]

Finally a good guide

[@aurorathegalacticwolf2762]

thank you this helped a lot!!! stupidly enough i can deflect 100% from overhead guards but i can get the sides. until now ^^

[@behemoth2887]

I can literally deflect every top heavy but it’s damn hard to time the side heavy attacks for me

[@peteschupp4545]

BEHEMOTH that‘s because you have more time for top deflects. I personally parry attacks from the side and deflect attacks from the top

[@Happy-ow5sr]

I know this vid is old but thank you so much. Just got into the game

[@harleyuk322]

Brilliant video! Well presented, crystal clear instructions! Thank you!

[@HoopinFR]

Thanks for the Video really helped me as I'm trying to become a good orochi

[@blenderdixon]

Nice guide, thanks.

[@holysiet.28]

i can deflect the the vertical attack, but horizontal attack i cannot

[@Athaeme]

That's because they broke the side deflect timer

[@vUceMan]

thanks man...been tryna figure that out for a while now.. subscribed👌

[@gamersouras]

I remember when deflecting used to be one of the best things about for honor but these days the damage is almost never worth it and/or its only used to spicy things up and look cool

[@fagbagmgee3878]

Deflecting from the top is extremely easy and is the best choice because the sides have an extremely small window to deflect

[@mikeeo1017]

You should make an updated Deflect Guide

[@driftsamurai29]

Thank you for this i got it down in about 5v minutes

[@IRAZELAST]

Thanks for the guide it is reaaally helpful

[@kenju7028]

Used this to prove to my brother this is how to deflect. He said press light on impact instead of parry.
