Bro what map are you when showing the emote spam

[@NotsoSneak]

@@banditdoggo that's what I was wondering. I couldn't figure out what it was at all

[@badegrim7267]

Nice video but pls dont act that this hero required ANY skills to kill 60-85% of the players Ubi makes new Heroes terribly unbalanced as fuck so they can get some extra money before they do some nerfing cuz that 60-85% players left the game for the next patch.

I can’t wait for her release! I love that you called her the daughter of Cent and Shinobi. Considering who she’s based on, that actually makes a strange degree of sense. Can’t wait to get my hands on her so I can start making her Heroes in History vid eventually.

My favorite part of her release is that her unique tier one feat means that grapple mechanics are indeed possible in for honor, and could possibly foreshadow a grappler hero in the future.

[@Ostrid1]

Highlander shugoki and raider were grabbing people since for ever. Warlord Lawbringer gryphon and medjay also have some form of a grab.

I'm a lil jealous that the new heroes get such unique feats that compliment their gameplay and weapon. I kinda want the devs to try giving 1 unique feat to older heroes that don't have them.

if old heroes were given the same treatment as her it'd be an awesome game, feel like this is what peacekeeper could've been tbh

[@mkdemigodzillawarrior]

Yeah it’s pretty neat to finally have a mace hero! Also, I kind of see her as a mixture of Conqueror and Shinobi’s moves, but I can see how Centurion could be seen in her move set as well.

[@AzureRoxe]

Been a while since emote spam looked this good on a hero's launch.

[@WhoisSet]

This character looks like the one I've been waiting for in so many ways! Yet another excuse to get back into For Honor

[@mojomanj8551]

My favorite execution is where she uses his knee to jump behind him because it’s the same animation for blades of Persia execution.

[@aiellamori]

5:54 as a side note, I think all new heroes should have previous event and battle pass cosmetics. You have no idea how bad I wanted the horkos phantom effect for warmonger

[@MarcoYolo]

110% agree, would be nice if somehow someway they were able to offer the battle pass cosmetics for the heroes that missed out on their season's content

When you realize that the vikings and the wu Lin got their "Newest" heroes in year 3😔

[@venompool_is_here9042]

Its bullshit I don't get this there is so much potential for the vikings and wu lin but they won't do it and I thought the hero would be a outlander

[@ovyle]

@@venompool_is_here9042 Fax, they can give the wu lin heroes weapons like: Gauntlets, a spear (A way over the top one, with different types of cloths or accessories), a meteor hammer, the tekko's or tekko kagi. And for the Vikings: An archer (fights with bow, uses first feat to fire arrows), a norse take on a pole arm, bare hands (with full body Armor of course) or a staff (like a norse druid)

[@Andrew-yq4vb]

Been waiting for some kind of Mongolian hero for a while.... or at the very least a viking brawler (hand to hand) hero... sadly, I think the outlanders are gonna be the catch-all for new heros

[@The_Custos]

Forget Chyyyna, time for ARABIAN NIGHT, LIKE ARABIAN DAYS!

[@GeistDrachen]

@@ovyle for the Wu Lin, either a unique polearm of some kind or the jian sword could work. For the Vikings, an axe and shield combo or some other kind of polearm would be great. A bow wouldn't work because we've seen how problematic ranged attacks are, hence why they reworked Shinobi. Bare hands also wouldn't work as I don't see it functioning in any other way except as a bash (unless you really want a hero that does nothing but damaging bashes). And Shaolin already has a staff so it'd be pointless to have another one.

[@HYDESDM]

That fourth execution got me actin' unwise, yo. And she looks hella fun to play and mess around with. Unlike Kyoshin.

This is probably the most I've been hyped for a new hero since Gryphon. She looks so much fun!

[@shalashaskaseven4841]

@@Fallenhell100 She’s better in duels than in fours. Her flip has surprisingly small window of s, and input window. Her external hit boxes on chain heavies don’t exist, and the bash ones are awful. She feeds a lot of revenge including with her feats. Her flip cancel only has knee as a option, with long enough recoveries that she can’t gb you if you dodge on reaction. On light hitstun or whiff you can light her out of the knee follow up regardless. Not to mention her feats can be interrupted by literally anyone, teammates or enemies, making it even worse in team situations. As for ledge distance, it’s actually small

[@blestamax7430]

I feel like this was actually a bit of a miss, since I believe an Arabic inspired faction could have been feasible. Along with Janissaries and some form of assassin like Ubi had in AC:Revelations would have been a step in the right direction and proof that the Wu Lin's... issues were learnt from. Also, wouldve been nice if all those event rewards like colors or patterns for faction would also be available to heroes that don't exist yet but are part of a faction (so this doesnt contradict with my earlier statement about new factions, they could just add one battlepass spot that gives out the reward for nondescript 'future faction')

[@aerickmon3350]
