The finisher with the quick jab to the the face with the blade was my favorite, quick, effective, simple and brutal. Seems fluid as it is non flashy. Screams effortless.
Pretty good, while I hated ocelotl's undercooked stance I liked that he was just kind of simple, same here.
Yeah honestly, I like the simplicity
Just got the game on my new ps5. Definitely gonna get Ocelotl and Guard as my first two post marching fire heroes.
@@parkertulk7485I would dodge the kitty man.
I feel like everytime I play him people are complaining and I can for once kinda see why.
@@baizuo_6246Why? He's not all that good. Either way what does it matter if people complain if you find the character fun?
No way in hell you clowns are serious
I like how she isn’t hunched over in her fighting stance she really shows intimidation to the other heroes because of her height for sure.
Gosh I want her to dominate me
Btw this was an actual unit irl in the eastern Roman Empire. They were Viking mercenaries who had close ties to royalty, which in turn gave them a Varangian guard position.
Everyone knows 💀
byzantine, not roman
@@AlexanderHolcomb you right
@@eetueella 👍 good, for those who don’t then boom now they know.
I just want an outlander who throws straight HANDS
me too bro me too
Probably a Wu Lin who would do that. They got a perfect male model for it, since the next hero will be a male based on their genderlocks with their heroes.
Li Shuwen, or really his students. Used Bajiquan, guarded the emperor at his side, and Li himself was well documented as being able to kill men with a single punch during martial arts duels. But they could also probably make a dedicated spear hero with that route given that Li was a master of the Qiang as well.
@@alligatorbodyslam8241he didn’t kill anyone lol
Honestly I didn’t think this many people wanted a brawler hero I also want it bruh;-;
It would be cool but wouldn’t make sense but also they let ocelotl turn into a ghost so the game isn’t really based on realism anymorr
Ok this hero has the coolest executions I have seen in a long time!
I cannot wait to do them myself.
Love Vikings!
I love how the execution with the axe in the face you can kinda “feel” how they’re stuck on the axe when they’re on it. And I’m not even playing. Brutal. Love it.
So basically Afeera and Raider had a kid
Except not as cancer as Afeera
And their granddad is jorm
@@TheRealGlooperafeera is easy af to kill. Just read what they do and learn how they play lmao. This hero is more cancer imo. It’s just shitty ganking it’ll be a problem in. It’s the stupid pin it does and also then stumble your hero gets when hitting the all guard.
@@Jamalzzzzz986Tell me you're an afeera main without telling me you're an afeera main.
@@Jamalzzzzz986She’s high tier. Can’t really argue based on what you find “easy”. Which is just an opinion. She has one of the most flushed out kits in the game. High damage, agile. You may think she’s easy to kill, but she’s still a good character a lot of players struggle against because of how good she is.
Nothing can beat BP's pancake flips
BP for life.
BP is the only character that makes the game fun jsut pancaking someone 3 times in a row since they don’t learn
True
I hate to admit it but sometimes executions are what sell me a character. And man these are so good. I’m so happy there’s no stupid goofy ones. These are brutal, and pretty much guaranteed my buy
this is exactly what i wanted from a warlord rework
Now you can forget that trash hero and play her! ❤
All heroes for the past 5 years. Light, Light, bash.
5:00 Crazy that they seem to forget removing directional control from Aramushas fullblock followups
Broo the punch to the face after the shield bash is just down right OD love it
i would change ocelot to an assasin and give him more grips and special dashes coming from his stance, maybe add new attacks with other propeties rather that hyper armor
Agreed. Ocelotl's stance is useless. It only looks cool and has no use
Getting to play as a Pikemen now, cool!
FINALY A VIKING
I want a new map man
Lol seriously, you can tell they don't get much support from corporate
Need new breach mapssa
For real
Turns out they’re adding “two new converted maps”
@@loganriling4888because they’re too busy developing their 50th fucking assassins creed game
I wouldn't consider myself a 'sword' or 'medieval' nerd, but holy crap the left guard does NOT look like they're 'guarding themselves at all lmao. Where is your shield going? Was the sunlight bothering you?? XD
😂 true
I think their thought process is what ever sounds good to the ear is what they go for. Like historians come up with bunch of ideas with different factions and they come down to one hero that the people/person can agree on one that will sell the best.
just BRING IN THE GUY WITH THE METAL BALLS FOR HANDS ALREADY!
Clash Royale Mega knight??
yes.
@@Deez-v8x
She’s going to be oppressive with a black prior, the prior can throw her a shield, and she can heal him, both of them have ways to help the team, with healing and a shields
Oh shit...Nova went from silence, to talking, to showing his face. Nice
Wow, he looks sick🔥🔥🔥
she btw
I wish it was a he.
@@IsukimTsoga_protippsforgames Nah he meant Nova 🔥🔥🔥
@@Jenox645 what💀
@@IsukimTsoga_protippsforgamesnahh nova is a lil cute
Aye never seen Nova's face lookin good brother
@10:56 Agreed. Some of my best saved clips are simply knowing where to be.
Nova's face never ends to amaze me
Sus
The last feat is nice because it is quick and has a debuff. Wonder if she has fire flask or fury since she is a Viking. Can’t wait either way.
I honestly really like how this character looks I’m prolly gonna start playing again just to get her a high rep
Those are the best executions they've added in a long time for a new hero in my opinion, fuck yeah!
I love defensive heroes, I love support heroes, I love warlord, I love aramusha, so I m fine with this hero. Nothing fancy like ocelotl but tbh, I see myself playjng that more. Ocelotl is just too luch of a character and I cannot play him for more than a few match straight, while I can play warlord for days
Ocelotl was so badddd. He shouldn't have had two weapons either. Was kinda dumb. Can't believe I bought that shit.
@@AlpheamusI love ocelotl. I still play him to this day
Ocelotl is clunky and kinda basic. He’s very annoying in a good player’s hands, he’s supposed to be but in my hands? Way too oonga boonga. Just not for me. I mean, I play with Valkyrie and afeera mostly so going from those to Ocelotl is a complete 180. I just do not have fun with him but he’s a fun character still at times.
It’s been a while I see nova has revealed himself😮
Cap on the unreactable head, but i tried the new character in a training with a lvl 3 warden, and each time i went for a headbutt, he dodged perfectly
Probably because the ai can read your inputs
The fact that her head butt is better animated and looks better then shugoki’s and is unreactable makes me pissed
Shugs neutral headbutt is unreactable btw.
@@ExoticDva nope just forward head butt
@@ExoticDva shugoki’s head butt looks like he’s sneezing
@@mikeoxlong6410 As it should be there should be zero reason for side dodge bashes to ever be unreactable. I just assumed you meant forward dodge because that’s the standard.
@@ExoticDva that doesn’t change the fact that his mid chain head butts should be unreactable
Conq would benefit well from those new animations
Conq would benefit from going back befor his rework
I was gonna download this game again but thank you for changing my mind 🙏🏽
Im happy for another year of For Honor. But when are we going to get cross progression already. Ever since I built a PC, i have no reason to play on my xbox anymore. Ever since the CCU update, it has become a living hell to play on old gen. And i refuse to buy a new gen xbox just to play For Honor. I have 400 plus reps and hundreds of dollars spent on steel, I want to keep playing, but i dont want to drop another $500 for a new console and throw all that progression away. We have cross platform, so why dont we have cross progression. I want to keep supporting the game, but how can i do that if they wont support the fans?
Bruhhhh she has so much defense gunna be a little annoying but im honestly so excited for this new hero((:
Rinse and repeat with these new heroes
Cool a attack you cant block or get away from niceeeee ik what everyone will be useing
Pain
And then Centurion... And then Lawbringer... Or you could increase the stamina drain on full guarded attacks and punish players for abusing them...
skill issue
Full guard is not hard to beat at all especially if someone is abusing. Literally feint GB. All you have to do against someone abusing it and if they’re that bad they’ll keep doing it until they’re dead lol The stamina drain for Kyoshin’s stuff is already pretty bad. Also plenty of bash characters that shuts full guard down.
@@majincandybeam There's always one... I'm fully aware of everything full guard... Designing a character based upon stoping full guards and stalling is weird... Especially when it's not necessary...
@@parabellum4622 god forbid someone use a playstyle that isn't purely agressive
@@parabellum4622 There’s always one what? I replied in complete context of what you mentioned man. Not trying to be mean or anything.
It s really cool to have a realistic hero
Is this a joke ha?
I can't wait to use her and hopefully will have her as my main since I can block all direction but also will be able to pick out who I'll attack next from the stun. But, seeing the execution just made me automatically liking her.
devs teaching us how mix ups work lol
might just get this guy purly cause ive been wanting an axe+ sheild hero for ages
Perfect anti gank hero probaly gonna be S tier for breach and dominion don’t know about duels though
I actually expected that style
The executions 😍😍
I'm excited for this hero
Same bro
God my teamates situational awareness in breach is ridiculous. I feel like youre right, i have really good awareness of all opponents around and i feel like thats a whole different plane of skill level
The Gaurd seems fine, maybe too much pins. Support feats are cool tho.
This might bring me back holy hell
the commentator's volume is so low i gotta bring the video volume up but then i hear ur voice super amplified i can hear you breathing bro
Why make her gender locked? Ive never understood why they do that. Makes us have less options for fashion. Just feels lazy. But thats also just Ubi in a nutshell
Budget issues. It’s cheaper to make a hero gender locked
@@Marinexloadbullshit they’re just lazy an woke
how does it make you have less options?.. shes fully armored, if they made a male option, only change would be the body shape and voice
and im just upset shes gender locked bcuz that armror would fit very well onto a male body with no changes made to the armor build
@@saikaamri5871 So we're upset about the same thing 🤨
@@gamerhex7335 pretty much ye
YAY Novaface how cool!
Well at least her executions won't make me spend more of my steels for her
finally cool hero!
Is that unblockable just lawbringers old 50/50 but with only a two attack setup?
Look I can’t lie, nova kings voice is so good, is it weird to ask him to read a story one day 😅
Do it
New main especially if she has heavy perks
How awesome would it be if she could counter Deflect projectiles back at opponents with that shield stance!
Ok i know theyve been leaning into fantasy the last few years and thats fine but deflecting projectiles seems a bit much lol
@@GrimViridian there are some instances where you can knock Pirates small bomb feat back at her. I forget the details but I've watched it happen a handful of times personally and seen videos of it. I don't know if they changed it but last I knew it was still possible. Knowing it's a possibility is why I brought it up.
@@thewikkid1gaming ah, see I was thinking arrows and bullets, that works in my opinion lol
Why not just make it both read and reaction based gameplay since thats just a standard output as of right now and thats a comfy spot even if something is supposed to be unreactable you can still find a time frame to stop the move
wow this hero i want and i love her skills and i love to afe my teammates i am very intereset in this new Hero.
Was there really Varangian Guard in history?
Why did they have to make a Varangian Guard be gender locked
Honestly, I would’ve preferred a long sword Vanguard hero, something similar to Warden.
Either that or a sword and shield Hybrid class character (not a Heavy).
Biggest gripe is the Gank encouragement, I likely won’t play her personally.
Hero looks cool enough, happy the Viking mains got something unique! 👍🏻
I have my fingers crossed for a spear and shield knight. Just not a fan of how valkyrie plays.
I was hoping how the other factions got heroes similar to the bosses (warmonger is apollyon kyoshin is tozen) I wish we got something akin to gudmundr, would've loved to have a bear hug that isn't shugo.
@@dentelos5658it’s either valkyrie, or stand like from behind a greatshield
@@dentelos5658That sucks because being a Valkyrie main, she’s super fun man. But I get it. I feel the same way about Ocelotl. I WANT to play him so badly just feels too clunky in my hands…
I kinda wanted a bare hand fighter😂
It be cool see a hero
With those Katar gauntlets XD
Probably gonna be a Bruce Lee-like Wu Lin character
i’ve loved this game since it came out but i feel like the new characters don’t have as much personality/ stand out as much as the first few additions
Season 4 was the peak of this game I used to main valkyrie and before she got her shitter rework on top of an existing rework she played exactly like this character only old school for honor players would know back in season 5
Nah she didint lol I feel you tho
Exactly
@@kollincarpenter4909 what do you mean she didnt?
Lawbringer NEEDS a rework
Insane
ngl we need more ocelotls excutions
Damn rip no gauntlet/brawler hero
Really not a fan that just about every hero released in the last few years either has superior lights, hyper armor, undodgeables, bash/heavy pins, or some combination of all of them. Just feels like you can throw whatever garbage you want and not be punished for anything anymore.
love you nova
Wait wait wait…WHEN WAS THE FACE REVEAL
Is it me or does Novaking look like Toeknee.
Why need this genderlock..I’m disappointed 😔
Making this game read based instead of reaction based was the biggest mistake they ever did. 4k active player base and falling since the ccu.
And another example of ubi not listening to their customers
When for the love of god will we get a hero with a Rapier
Knights and Samurai already the most heroes. We need more vikings and Wu Lin.
pretty cool
Honestly I don’t like viking heroes play styles in the game but this one seems fun and she isn’t op which is good, seems pretty balanced, although i agree they shouldn’t have gender locked her, i am not an expert on the subject but did varangian guard have women in their ranks? Nothing against women of course, i like the female characters in the game, i just don’t like gender locks for most of them except warmommy, i guess people are disappointed cuz they wanted something more? I don’t blame them for that but i hope they nerf some characters like shinobi more and i would be satisfied.
The Norse Viking were very big on equality so a female warrior was actually common
@@cjhead8113 that's false for a few reasons. One, while they did have more rights than women of other cultures, the burial mounds of upper class women in the Viking Age did contain some weapons, but also spinning wheels and textile tools. Therefore it is inconclusive, given there are so few of those burials. Also vikingr was a male job in that society, I'm not trying to push some conservative agenda here, its just how it was. Another thing, varangians while technically having norse dna, were not "vikings", they were conscripted soldiers
@@loganriling4888 fair enough thanks for the correction
@@loganriling4888it may not have been common but female Vikings were a thing. Just as brutal as the males. So idk what your point is unless you’re arguing that they weren’t “very” common but around, nonetheless.
@@majincandybeam That was the point....that they weren't very common. Too many people (not you necessarily) have watched the Vikings series, and/or The Last Kingdom, thinking that this is what they were like. A Viking was a pirate after all, pretty much like a job, and just assuming a culture had complete fairness and equality in terms of value for either gender doesn't necessarily mean there was equal representation of both genders in all lines of work, especially traveling across seas to pillage, raid and loot..
I also think the OP was right to point out that there should be no gender lock full stop, especially since the demographics of the warrior group IRL would have been the other way around. It's strange to bring in a new hero based on an existing historical mercenary group made of men, and only have them as women within the game. I do understand that the lore was following the daughter of a Chieftan (they could still have had lore be based around a son, or a VG leader that took the girl in and offered to get revenge, but obviously went a different direction for their own reasons), and I'm all for that, For Honor have used specific characters as the frontmen/women when bringing in a new hero set in the past. It's just a little baffling why they decided to do it this way with no lore explanation (in terms of why the VG in the game are only women, not just the named character) or reasoning. Let's not forget, the Varangian Guard were also made up of Kievan Rus, Greek, Anglo-Saxon, and Scandinavian warriors. Vikings were not in the majority of their numbers, so the VG wouldn't even truly reflect "Viking" society.
When is that hero coming out? I don’t want to download the game again just to suffer for nothing 😂
Just bring a nunchuck hero already omg
Sooo ur telling me this is a Viking not. Kinght HERO
I wish they would take a break from making new heroes, and refine some of the overall mechanics of the game. It’s starting to feel even more out dated
Nice update
Please nerf the lightspam
people pumping themselves with whatever they need to do, mister energy drink sponsorship? lol
So this hero is just Tandi affira black prior and raider put together weak..
Wow! An aramusha copy paste… which I will be wasting my week getting the steal to buy when she comes out
I like this hero but I can’t wait for a hero with an arm weapon only or maybe pared with something else.
This is the dev?
It's just afeera but in viking clothe
I am disappointed with no Celtiberia welding Falcata. Roar "flee you roman scum" raahhh
Sees varangian guard - contemplates playing for honor again
its a woman - nevermind
Im glad people like for honor still just heartbreaking seeing this game become unrecognizable from the game i bought when it first came out , got me through high school and now i cant stand to play this more then an hour
Skill issue
@@majincandybeam I better not catch you in here again, those cheeks won't last long lil bro 🤡
well fucking duh but why would i try to relearn a game i have no passion for anymore the game is braindead itll take me a solid 2 days to understand im just suppose to spam attacks without thought now im glad i closed the book when it was good @@majincandybeam
@toxic_vader3 I disagree but this game is hell for new/returning players so I feel for ya
@@toxic_vader3 Good players read people that spam without thinking and it’s predictably parried, CC’d or deflected. If you can learn in two days then learn in two days and stop whining.
i thought this was supposed to be a viking hero?
She's a Byzantine Varangian guard, conscripted mercenaries that often had norse DNA.
@@gibbygibbstein7858 yea i recentely read up on it, turns out varangian guards were personal bodyguards to the emperors of the byzantine empire, they were a mix of anglo saxons, norsemen and rus
That "EH-UHH!!!!!" that she says with her unblockable will get annoying real quick.
