Items that you win after matches can modify your equipment and add or subtract from your hero's stats. New colors, emblems, and outfits can be unlocked by leveling up, accomplishing tasks, or with in-game currency. You can also customize your hero classes with cosmetics and new equipment. That means there's a certain pride in being a great Warlord player or a stellar Peacekeeper.

One of the best parts about For Honor is that the abilities and playstyles of the heroes are complex to the point where it would take a long time to become proficient at playing as all of them. They all have their uses, and in the right hands, any of them can sweep the battlefield.

The Peacekeeper is nimble and doesn't have the shield and armor of heavier heroes, but they can dance around their foes and inflict bleeding attacks that slowly drain their health.Įach hero class has strengths and weaknesses, but they're balanced to the point where no one class is greater than any other. A counter-balance to the Warlord would be the Knight Peacekeeper. The Warlord has the special ability to block attacks from any stance, and once the enemy's weapon has clanged off your shield, you can instantly turn your defensive into an offensive. The Viking Warlord is slow and carries a shield and gladius and concentrates on defense and counterattack. While each hero class in For Honor can guard and attack from the same three positions, they also have move-sets and feats that are unique to them.
