A overview of the new Egyptian Hero in For Honor, the Medjay. Medjay has great fashion and fights with a double sided fan axe that can be detached from one staff to two axes. In this video we take a look at Medjay's executions, emotes, and customization including a Moon Knight cosplay.

"you might need to alert the authorities if they dont dodge in a 1v1"

[@panzerofthelake2904]

Tbh getting somewhat tired of goobisoft giving all the movement shit to new heros. A damaging bash, AND dodge attacks, Inf. Combos, etc. Medjay looks a lot better balanced than Pirate or Gryphon on launch tho. I wish that if they were going to continue adding all the trimmings to new heros, they would also give new shit to old heroes, like warden or Lawby. I could see Lawby getting like a hidden stance or something

[@roasty-]

Maybe I misunderstood what you said, but what do you mean that bashes in newer heroes correlate to movement shit? Medjay's bash in Staff Stance that you mentioned is 900ms and reactable on every platform. Depending on MMR, its utility is exclusive to enabling ganks. I can't tell you what to do or think, but I hope you'll consider if your opinion on his moveset is based on negative early impressions. Maybe you'll see it in a new light. On the topic of dodge attacks; out of 33 heroes currently in the game, only 4 of them (Centurion, Warlord, Black Prior and Jormungandr) don't have dodge attacks. Black Prior compensates for that with Bulwark Stance. Not having a dodge attack single-handedly lowers a hero's viability, and it leaves you with less counter attack/defensive options in any given scenario. I think *most* dodge attacks are a healthy and dynamic addition to For Honor, though that's just my opinion. If you read ALL of that and you're down, then don't hesitate to share any other input you might have. Maybe I'll gain a new perspective.

[@WRAAEEE]

I have to disagree Staff bash is terrible for 1v1, very slow and very dodgeable Axe bash is ok but the range is mediocre, doesnt track at all so also very dodgeable Thats 2 out of 3 of his UBs, the Axes Heavy Finisher is decent but if ur 1st Heavy is blocked ( not even Parry ) than that plan is out of the window He's average for teamfights and terrible for duels

[@TaskForce-ql3bx]

@@WRAAEEE its literally a worse raider and zerk

[@Ci1antr0]

@@roasty- HL doesn’t have one either but honestly I think everybody would prefer him being able to dodge into offensive stance over that garbage dodge attack they gave him in TG

[@panzerofthelake2904]

@@roasty- first, kind of my fault for bad wording. I say "movement shit" in reference to the amount of utility moves a hero has, which I define as moves that aren't lights or heavies in an ending chain. Their are also utility modifiers, which are effects that can be added to a move. Warden, for example, has two utility moves, shoulder bash and his forward dash heavy(roll catcher). He also has two utility modifiers, his crushing counter and ending heavy unblockables. Nobushi has 4 utility moves, that being her two dodge attacks(heavy and light), hidden stance, and her kick. She also has 2ish utility modifiers, that being undodgeable heavy finishers, and her bleed moves, which Is why I said 2ish, as they could be separated to inflate the number of utility modifiers/moves she has. Pirate has 4 utility moves, her dodge attacks, dash attack, Walk the plank pinning move, and her bashes, which also cause damage. She also has a bunch of utility modifiers, her dash is an unblockable from neutral and has hyper armor, she has two unblockable pinning moves(WtP and her whiff pistol bash), hyper armor on her heavy finishers and undodgeable on her light finishers, and on top of that she has recovery cancels. Medjay does look more balanced than Pirate, mostly because of the geriatric bash in staff mode, but my main complaint is that I'm getting tired of seeing all neat moves that help in mixups be relegated to new heros while older heros retain an archaic moveset. Lawby has 1 utility move and 1 utility modifier, his bash and unblockable heavy finishers. It's just a complaint I have with how Goobisoft is implementing heroes.

I really wish the Romans would get their own faction. They could have a Legionary with a spatha and scutum as vanguard, a Praetorian with a pila and scutum as their heavy, keep their centurion as hybrid and keep Gladiator as assassin to start out. They could easily add an Auxiliary with a simple Gladiolus and pugio as another assassin.

[@juyver11]

I like the medjay I do. But… I would’ve loved to see him a more… authentic version of a medjay in terms of ancient Egyptian warrior kit. I was thinking what if he had a spear and the large ancient Egyptian shield with that weird unique shape it has and to give him his unique weapon type switching feature give him a kopesh on his side as the switch? In the spear and shield mode he’d play like Valkyrie with the poking and stabbing range while having that conquerer defense and bash with the shield then when you wanna be more offensive and aggressive you switch to the kopesh and shield and the kopesh would have a let of aggressive disabling attacks for like aggressive tech moves and stuff. Just a thought, what do you guys think???

[@Avilokk]

But valk has a spear and shield and for honor players are usually nitpicky

[@futuristicbus61]

I just wish that he had a bit more in his kit.

[@percyj.5091]

ok but can we talk about he's a merge of *at least* 7 different heroes' animations for most of his heavies? From what I saw, the animations are coming from the following heroes: Warden, hitokiri, berserker, aramusha, Shaolin (I saw someone saying there are animations of shaman and shaolin too but idrk)

[@percyj.5091]

The only unique animation I saw is the throne room bash (a.k.a the one slapping the enemy with the staff and prevents revenge)

[@Quarterspine143]

Cool, now please give Highlander a smooth way to access his other stance so he's usable outside of light light heavy like it's Scottish Ice up in this bitch.

[@HighLanderPonyYT]

Is about as accurate depiction of an Egyptian hero as Ronald McDonald is relevant today.

The Medjay were a real people from ancient Egypt.

And the movie The Mummy used a salad of words without actually referencing the real historical facts. Hint! The historical Imhotep wasn't cursed nor buried alive, he was actually a highly respected ancient Egyptian medic and scientist, and he and the architect Amenhotep are the only non-royal citizens who were so respected that were deified upon their deaths, just like the pharaohs.
