For Honor: Lawbringer Realism Analysis pt.1-a

Taking a different approach to how I usually do an analysis of a For Honor character. Also did a much shorter video this time around, tell me what you think of it. In this video we only discuss Lawbringer's weapons... yes, that took an entire video's worth of time...

make them as long as possible

He stands at over 7' tall I bet he would get along nicely with the mountain from game of thrones

[@abyssalmoonlight6449]

Wait what? Lawbro is 7’0+ in height? Him and Shugoki are actually giants!

[@jaakko569]

Lol the grunts in dominion are actually children

[@carltheincels6641]

Where people shorter back then? If so how they grew do tall?

[@SoI_Badguy]

@@carltheincels6641 They weren't that short back then... maybe 2 inches less than the average now. And there were still people that were far taller than the average, so people 7ft tall would exist then- Same as today, just more rarely. Idk where that myth that medieval people were 4'11" came from but it's frustrating.

[@eewweeppkk]

And it should be noted that us being taller is more likely linked to better nutrition and health education, not genetics or anything. There are plenty of people who are 7 ft and without any conditions that make them have unhealthy levels of growth, they are just 7 ft tall.

[@bennyboshkosh]

I mean... there WERE battalians literally made of Giants but that later in like the 1500-1800s

[@justanotherperson3076]

This is amazing I’m also trying to make a “realistic” Lawbringer so this will definitely help

[@sungodra1226]

@Just another Person Me too, I’m currently running Crowley Shaft, Crowley Spike, and Fire breather axe for the weapon, and Dignified Veneer torso, Aquitas arms, and dheneb helm / Dignified Veneer helm. The Aquitas arms match the metal for the matching fire armor.

[@dr.eggsucc1026]

What armor and gear did you use?

[@sadperson4753]

Don’t know if this is what you do on your channel but I need a video on how Daubeny is a god

[@GoldenChild27]

I really like your interpretation of the halberd vs. The poleax, the only thing I would say is there is a structural differencebetween them in that the halberd is typically one piece of metal, whereas the poleax is typically three pieces of metal with the two side weapons being one-piece fitted into a socket of the spear and shaft piece. Also it appears as though the halberd more commonly one large piece over the wood, whereas the poleax typically has four sheets of metal fastened into the shaft

[@scotigaming2517]

I feel like you should do Raider next. It would be fun I feel because well the Vikings were interesting. Just a thought.

[@GoGoDani]

Raider is definitely on my list for heroes I want to talk about. The Dane axe has had it's extensive use on the battlefield and it would be a shame if I didn't talk about it. That and I have a lot to say about how Raider uses his axe... it's interesting.

Fun fact: Rivalen is rivals in the Dutch language

[@Jay_Synner]

And in german as well

[@Simon-lq5uk]

2:53 "wut iz poolacks" Killed me more effectively than a poleaxe could

[@xtheclockworkowl]

I'd usually think the wrappings on the frazar shaft would be to increase friction, another way to stop the sliding accidents you mention. But I don't know how his armor comes into effect on the matter so time for 1.b xD

[@GoGoDani]

Wrapping on a handle can help do that, but it's usually with a sturdy material that has it's own friction in of itself. Like a leather wrap, a cord wrap, or maybe even some sort of glued down canvas wrap. But with how poorly the wrap looks on the Frazar shaft, it seems apparent that it would come off over extensive use. It also looks like it's made out of some sort of soft fabric like gauze, so that also gives me that idea that it would rip and come off over time. Which, in that case, I would just take it off before hand and just use a wooden shaft.

[@zecaseo1]

I love the minute differences between different polearms, as well as the implications they have on different combat scenarios. I could listen to an extended version of this discussion forever, am I weird?

[@Lucidopherus]

seven months late but nah man, it ain’t weird. i like medieval stuff as well

[@Miraihi]

Rivalen head makes poleaxe look like Russian bardiche, what is a legitimate fashion choice :D

[@TwentythreePER]

Another good video with research and historical accuracy. I appreciate your videos like this. Scholagladitoria has some videos on the differences in halberds and pollaxes, as do some other channels, but you seem to have gotten the gist of it. I also feel like polearms aren't often given the attention they deserve so kudos to you for giving this weapon some attention.

[@nickbutler9831]

The length suggests a halberd, poleaxes are normally a bit shorter than the wielder while halberds are a bit longer, the blade being at, or slightly above, the wielders head. Thats normally how i view it

[@jamesdouty5096]

Yo you did it! I've been waiting so patiently for it. Lmk if you need LB gameplay 😤👌🏻

[@sabertheodst]

How would the law bringer in real life possibly be able to see in this helmet design, or would it be impossible with this designed helmet? I am unfamiliar with armor of this kind of ancient and medieval armor design, if you have a answer I would appreciate it, please and thank you(P.S. I am new to your channel and absolutely love what I see so far)

[@GoGoDani]

Definitely go check out the part 1-B of this video I have posted, I go into detail about his default helmet and a few others :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIrZkHiHmdhkiZo

[@bludripplayz5679]

Hey another vid been waiting for the lawbro!!

[@MrBlack_-_]

Lawbringer has a Pollaxe,because,if you look on halberds ,they have diagonal blade and the lower part of the halberd is pointing towards you.While pollaxes have the normal axe head(judging by his basic weapon design,but with the skins,there are both)

[@dumah8227]

As a curiosity in spanish trailer of the lawbringer they actually call the weapon halberd. Un spanish, poleaxe its "hacha de petos" and halberd its "alabarda"

[@Sorinter4069]

Love your channel, hope you keep up the great videos

[@aidanmckuen1252]

Made 5 months ago And only 2 dislikes This man is a legend

[@erris5744]

I can see why it is called the most versatile weapon. Firstly, based on the time period, it kind of is. It is an axe, a spear, and a bludgeoning weapon all-in-one. There may be better weapons altogether, but it is the most versatile of all.

[@LowTierSin]

Another great video! Keep it going!

[@klikssiikubra314]

The problem with the poleaxe and halberd etymology is that in original sources, they are generally just described as "axe". The distinction was something people did later.

[@dodsbringaren3698]

I fucking love these man

[@inquisitorbenediktanders3142]

The most dominant weapon before the guns: a pointy Stick.

[@Gunnar120]

I'd say Rivalen is more of a glaive head. Otherwise love the video!

[@bared473]

Why there isn't subtitle ;-; I'm french and it's difficult to understand all without eng subtitles... but I guess it's always a good video 😂

[@johngibson3770]

while talking about his more realistic weapon are you sure the spike is a dague? A dagger has two cutting edges on the blade while a knife only has one. the image used only has one.

[@mig9941]

I don’t mean to be mean and annoying but It’s meant to be a pollaxe (pawl-axe) not poleaxe, I’m pretty sure the difference is just length

[@nicolaspeigne1429]

Ahhh polearms, the most expansive and confusing weapon family that exist

[@elcatrinc1996]

I saw 3 parts, and i still dont know what the hell is that chain in his chest, did i missed that part in the part B or what?

[@michaelkeha]

Also of the poleaxe has a hammer head, spike and top spike then it's not a poleaxe it's a crow's beak

[@vapomaster6967]

The Rivalen Axe looks much like a Bardiche tbh. :D

[@skooterthekid8069]

Pole-axe? Halberd? Nah He got the Halb-Axe

[@ChadHansen69]

Lb is the closest to the Chad Landskencht in the game. Y4 feathery floppy hat please ubi

[@GoGoDani]

Nah I want a full on Landsknecht as a playable hero. I want him to use a messer or a katzbalger, I want him to have a tankard attached to his hip, and I want him to have a massive fucking cod piece. I also want him to have the personality of Cent, but 10x more vulgar.

[@ChadHansen69]

@@GoGoDani just give him the biggest bulge possible. Also a pike or a zweihänder would be pretty cool

[@carltheincels6641]

Highlander would possibly be the Chad's in the game

Everybody gangster until the Landsknecht pulls out an arquebus and just shoots someone....
