Missed an opportunity to make a “bastard shield” joke. He has a bastard sword, which is like a mix of an arming sword and long sword, and his shield happens to be a mixture of both a kite and a heater shield. Boom, his weapons=bastards

What i hate about the new characters (aside from their 1-2 moveset) is that they went from types of warriors, to types of people. What i mean is, you cant *not* be an edgelord BP, but if you didnt wanna be a memelord shugo you could. If your buying BP to be a knight with a kite shield your also forced to be a 14 year old psychopath

[@GoGoDani]

I feel that, but with the new armors coming out, I feel that's going to change. Also, some of the armor BP already has is not bad, really it's just the helmets that are the problem. As for emotes and finishers, I feel like there are some that good and some that are bad that you kinda just have to pick and choose how you want your BP to be. I think how I made mine look like a Pseudo Knight's Templar doesn't look so bad given what I had to work with.

[@divinecrusader4258]

Not true actually, if you use the correct combination of armors, weapons, and designs, you can end up with a pretty non-edgy bp, for example you can use his bucket helm to make a Templar looking character.

you mean to tell me all that edge isnt historically accurate? also, burning wood is an okay way to keep it more or less waterproof, but that shield is burnt to the point of charring (all the spiderweb-y cracks) I am not too sure about how waterproof that would be but it sure as shit isnt structurally sound anymore

[@GoGoDani]

Funnily enough... being edgy is somewhat historically accurate, but I will get to that when I talk about the way he dresses lmao. Also that was definitely my suspicion when looking at the wood, I am glad someone was able to help corroborate that with me.

[@mxxstro]

@@GoGoDani As someone who has worked with wood before, burning it to a level where it looks like that is basically ruining it. You're essentially creating a layer of charcoal waiting to be chipped off by incoming strikes.

[@nobro6971]

I actually didn’t even realize that the shield cuts off an arm. I’ve just been so intrigued with the throat slit from the shield that I’ve never even noticed

[@Kobaford]

I only use that execution for the dismembered arm. The moment a character gets dismembered in an execution, they can't get revived anymore, even if it gets interrupted afterwards. This is extra useful in that execution as the dismemberment happens within 1-2 seconds of it starting, making it ideal for executing enemies while in a crowd of pikemen

[@nobro6971]

Koba That’s actually pretty good now that you mention it, the execution is super fast

[@Geddes1709]

*Big sniff* Ahhh yes, this is the good stuff i've been waiting for, great work as always

[@leeboyles4480]

I know this is old but i wanted to comment on that wood burning part with the shield as i like to mess around with wood and make things like tables, jewelry boxes, padios, ect. See when timber is heated it can actually cause the grains of the wood to, basically, fuse together making for a stronger board. Obviously this doesn't apply to all wood as some is softer, like birch, and it may not be as strong but most hardwood can have this done to them and get basically the same result. This process also reduces the chance of the wood rooting but it is a delicate processes as if you leave it in too long you run run the risk of burning, scorching, or cracking the wood

[@SuperflyMiceguy]

I’m very surprised you didn’t say anything about the Apostate shield, since it doesn’t have any spikes or sharp edges on it. And also, The Faded Lux shield may have a spiky metal trim around its edge but at least it has some kind of ornate design in the center and leather, I assume, covering its face. Love these vids, keep up the great stuff.

[@GoGoDani]

I cut a lot of stuff out for the sake of brevity as I don't want to say the same thing for a lot of similar ones. For the Apostate, it does have those weird bumps that are supposed to be spikes I think. I wanted to focus on shields that had a distinctly shield like shape, and the weird warpings to the metal edges kinda killed it for this shield. That, and the incredibly thick "Y" shape metal langets that didn't make as much sense as cross shaped langets. As for the Faded Lux shield, I was thinking about talking about that one, but it barely didn't make the cut. I thought the serrated edges on the side are much more noticeable than other, and the fact that it has some sort of (what I can assume) soft metal edging like brass, bronze, or maybe even gold, just didn't make much sense. Also, there were some stitching on the edges of the shield that seemed odd to me. How do you stitch into wood? Why not just tack the leather cover down like a historical shield? Regardless, that was another good one, I just didn't have time seeing that the video was already pushing half an hour.

[@polmeseguerguimera3211]

Burning/blackening was often used in constructions because wood doesn't rot and as you said its waterproof, but they were mainly used in structural purpose meaning it would be used in long logs to support the house, not as planking. It is not difficult to burn the wood correctly but it is true that it losses integrity if burn it to the core. The blackening process involves only burning the outside level to avoid rotting while preserving strength in the log. All this said it is true that it can be used in a shield but it is not practical as the shield would have to be quite very thick in order to work for a long period of time.

[@witchhunter6755]

The shield doesn't cut the arm, his egde does,

[@birubu]

I just like Mala Ultro Adsunt because it give both me and the enemy a close up look at both of our fashions without too much moving around

[@nathanenns7690]

Wow! Great eye with the Kaskara hilt! It's always funny to see when the For Honor devs throw a historical design in among the endless slough of crossguards that look like they weigh 80 pounds. It really makes you really question what For Honor would look like if every hero had one or two armor or weapon sets taken straight out of a museum! The forsaken hilt reminds me of the Lockwood SL1009, albeit reconfigured to suit a hand-and-a-half length. Oh, and a pommel from a Talwar or something. Excited to see your take on the armor sets. If you do not share my opinion on which is the most historically possible, I will have no choice but to challenge you to a duel. Now, regarding the executions, you are correct to say that spinebreaker is really uncomfortable to watch. However, if you seriously think that Severe Sentence is a less stupid execution than Mala Ultro Adsunt, I will have no choice but to challenge you to ANOTHER duel. I'm not saying the latter is good, but that Severe Sentence may just be the single dumbest thing in the entire game. That is all. Great work as ever! Stay healthy!

[@GoGoDani]

I absolutely love the Lockwood SL1009! The green leather wrap to the grip is fantastic in my opinion, and there aren't a lot of high quality sword reproductions for later era longswords that focus on thrusting more than cutting. Also, I would have never thought of the pommel being from a Talwar but you are absolutely right. As for BP's armors, I've been excited to talk about them for a while now. I have quite a bit to talk about for them so I definitely look forward to it. As for the executions, I am biased towards Severe Sentence because it's so silly that I use it in duels to BM other players. But yes, I am well aware that it is as ridiculous (if not more ridiculous) as Mala Ultro Adsunt.

[@spartan8layer493]

Bp happens to be one of my favorite characters because finally a sword and shield, i also tend to like the whole dark vs light characters which i did with my warden with one black and red and one white and blue. Bp is great foe the dark but has no options for the light which sucks. Also the long executions are cool but i like the fast kill one's like the shield headchop and the erzabet slice. Shield cutting the arm is definitely much though, the speed is helpful but I'd prefer if it broke his arm, not cut it off. War should be brutal so i want broken limbs, not everything should just result in a cut.

_and here comes our first confession of the day_

[@spicyboi8829]

Quite the nice content here. I have a question: would half swording with the Mournful Sorrow or the Dies Irae blade be any different than with a normal one?

[@GoGoDani]

That's a really interesting question. If we are talking about the half swording you would do where you grab the hilt with one hand and the blade with the other to create more point control, then I would say that either blade should be fine as the flamberge effect terminates at some point in the middle for both. If we are talking about full mordhau style of attack where both hands are on the blade, I would think that it would be very difficult to do it with the Dies Irae blade just because you need the ability to create as much length as possible to generate a lot of percussive force. That being said, you could probably still do it with the Mournful Sorrow blade. I was honestly thinking about talking more about those blades when doing the VO, but the video was already heading towards 30 minutes long and I didn't want to take up anymore of people's time lol.

[@kyronix560]

The spikes are used for his bashes. Bp has a few shields where the corner is blade like, he literally slices and cuts with it in his executions too. He's a custom kinda guy. I bet he'd have the front of his truck decked out if he lived today Edit: I'd also like to mention, I think in for Honor the heroes might be demigods...

[@FullAdDariusBR]

15:05 I thought the same back in time, but I was terribly wrong, here is a distal taper, the point is indeed thinner than the ricasso, so this is the best blade avaliable in this game for Black Prior. If the Forsaken shield had followed the Forsaken handle and blade... it would also be the best shield in the GAME, unfortunately it is bad enough to be *forsaken* from this game, unfortunately Perfuga shield is the way to go.

[@mordur2739]

Actually i think adding a spikes to one edge of the shield is pretty brilliat idea (not for historicall accuracy of course).Black prior has many executions where he uses them,and for me his original shield has it's best option (no fancy teeths-just nails) it would be great as a giant knuckle-duster for penetrating armor if you use a shield weight properly.

[@khornatekrieger3023]

A note about the flamberge effect on some of BP's swords, there are actually blades like that. Called Kris that were typically used by Indonesian cultures. Similarly there's also the Kalis from Filipino culture. Those all were actually pattern welded of iron and nickel. I've actually seen a Colichemarde that is quite a bit later in date than BP is 'meant' that was similarly with a flamberge. That might've been what they were going for with that design but why it would be on a 11th-13th century knight guy, I dunno but A E S T H E T I C S.

[@darthplagueis13]

In all fairness, I think the comparison with Warden as a longsword user also is a little... I mean, that hunk of Iron that Warden is swinging around is technically more of a greatsword, but with questionable dimensions. It's already a lot bigger than a typical longsword, especially if we consider that Warden is pretty tall himself. It seems like it would come from maybe the late 15th century when longswords started turning into Greatswords, still lacking the characteristically longer handle and the often quite wide guard whilst also being just a little bit too thick. But again, for a longsword it is already too long in my opinion, when he puts the tip on the ground he has the pommel pretty much at shoulder level when it should be on chest level.

The mournful sorrow shield is rather practical. It seems like the closest to a real kite shield aside from the one with a face. And the spikes on it don't seem too insane on it.
