This one took us the longest to figure out, so don’t get discouraged. A successful parry will throw your opponent off for a second and leave them open for an attack. Only use your left hand to lock on to the bot. Now start a duel practice against a level 1 bot.Lock on to your attacker to enter guard mode, then take your left hand off of the controller. The first step in our boot camp is to play the tutorial. It drains slower than some other games, but when it runs out, you’re in all sorts of trouble. You’re going to land one attack (but not much more), and and then you’re going to be back on defense and stamina regeneration. You’re not going to be stringing together some 20 hit combo here.
Despite what Mick Jagger would have you believe, time is not on your side. If you’re thinking about what you’re going to do two swings from now, you’re going to miss a guard and take a sword to the face. Wait for that, and then switch your stance. For Honor show a convenient chevron above your opponent, telling you which way their attack is coming.
You have the time to react to an attack and switch your guard to block, so don’t commit yourself to a guess. If you try to guess, you’re going to guess wrong (roughly 66 percent of the time). Combat is fast and challenging, but it’s Bop It, not Pie Face. You have to keep your head if you’re going to keep your head (#sorrynotsorry). This one kind of goes without saying, but it’s an instinct we all have. Just remind yourself to assume that the camera is fixed - like a fighting game - and focus on your guard stances. You can’t control it (seriously, we struggled with this a lot). Don’t think about the camera while in guard mode.Your fingers will drift to the wrong buttons and the fight will go sideways in a hurry. Don’t think about any other game while you’re playing.So this list is about the things not to do. This was going to be a list of do’s and don’ts, but we realized as we wrote it that learning combat in For Honor was more about breaking habits than reinforcing them. If your opponent starts a heavy swing at the same time you start a light swing, your attack will land first, dealing damage and interrupting their swing. We’re pointing it out again because it plays a big (but not obvious) role in combat: A light attack will land before a heavy attack. Heavy attacks are slow, but deal a lot of damage.Light attacks are quick, but don’t deal much damage.There are only two options when attacking in For Honor: light or heavy attack. Adding a little down to the left and right guard helped us a lot. Don’t just twitch straight in a direction. Guard up is at 12, left is at 8 and right is at 4. If you find yourself missing blocks, adjust your aim. In other words, guard stances don’t map directly to left, right and up. Those three guard stances - left, right and top - are spread around the right thumbstick in thirds. It’s when you find another hero that things get interesting. When you’re mowing through one-hit-kill minions, there’s no technique to speak of - just swing light and heavy attacks to your heart’s content. It sure did for us.Īnd if you’re still struggling, we’ll give the crash course that finally helped us turn the corner. From the button mapping to the timing, combat in For Honor can seem, frankly, baffling. You’ve seen pieces of it before - stances, light and heavy attacks, parrying - but the way those pieces fit together is new. Understanding combatįighting in For Honor is … different. After you put in the work, then you can play the proper game - and dominate those who haven't wrapped their minds around For Honor’s unique controls. In this guide, we’ll explain it all - and show it with videos that turn the frantic combat into easily digestible demonstrations.
BEST FOR HONOR IMAGE HOW TO
Trust us: Investing the time to learn how to block, dodge, guard, fight, parry, throw and attack keeps you from spending your first several hours mashing buttons and throwing controllers. Why is fighting worth a whole guide? Because the most important part about learning to play For Honor (let alone getting good at playing For Honor) is understanding its weird controls.
We’re going to devote this entire For Honor guide just to combat. Once you accept that, our recommendation will sound less strange: Spend your first hour or so just learning to fight. For Honor controls unlike any game you’ve played before.
