BALANCING CHANGES
SPRINT SPEEDS
In Dominion, being able to rotate quickly to contest objectives and maximizing renown is important. Certain Heroes were too slow when sprinting, which discouraged rotations and made these Heroes less useful in a team. To mitigate this, we've increased the sprint speed of the slowest characters by ~8%.
Affects:
Conqueror
Kensei
Highlander
Sohei
Note that this does not impact Shugoki as they have access to Super Sprint.
PINNING PROJECTILES
We are making a change to pinning projectiles. These were designed to ensure additional attacks could be performed, but this meant we couldn't have them abide by the typical Anti-Gank rules. While these will now provide damage reduction appropriately, we've loosened up the rules to ensure it is always possible to land an extra attack, unless the victim was already in 2nd hit-stun.
Affects:
Gladiator's Boleadoras
Centurion's Vainglorious Pugio (new Tier 3 Feat)
AFEERA
Gravity's Pull can now be dodged 400ms before the hit (up from 300ms)
Speeding Comet changes
Can now be dodged 400ms before the hit (up from 300ms)
When performed at close range, now gains Full Block at 400ms (up from 0ms)
When the feat also triggers Fleet Foot, the attack gains Full Block after running for 400ms (up from 0ms)
When the feat also triggers Fleet Foot, Fleet Foot's minimum duration is now 400ms (up from 200ms)
[Developer's Comments]
Since Gravity's Pull and Speeding Comet are fast unblockable moves accessible from neutral, we've adjusted the amount of time players have to dodge these moves in line with similar moves/Feats.
We also adjusted when full block is active during Speeding Comet as it was too easy to use in reaction to attacks from neutral. With these changes, it should remain a strong tool to engage from further away while toning down its effectiveness in close-up scenarios.
BERSERKER
Health increased to 130 (up from 125)
[Developer's Comments]
Berserker relies on trading to get their offense started, but with the more recent changes to bring the Hero back more in line with other Heroes, their lower Health total made trading riskier. This should give the Hero an edge on trading and starting their offense with less risk.
BLACK PRIOR
Reduced the Stamina drain for holding Bulwark Stance to 3.5/s (down from 5/s)
[Developer's Comments]
Bulwark Stance's defensive properties are not as strong as other similar defensive stances, requiring a commitment to get stronger defense. Black Prior's Tier 2 feat also relies on entering and staying in Bulwark Stance, and our recent changes to Stamina drain while in defensive stances had a bigger impact on Black Prior than desired.
CENTURION
Eagle's Talons damage reduced to 28 (down from 30)
Feats
New Tier 1 Feat - Amplified Roar
Passive: Lion's Roar Finisher now unbalances enemies
New Tier 2 Feat - Eagle's Windfall
Passive: After landing an Eagle's Talon, reduce enemies' Attack and increase ally movement speed
Enemies deal 20% less damage for 10s
Allies gain 20% movement speed for 10s
New Tier 3 Feat - Vainglorious Pugio
Active: Throw a projectile that Binds. Performing a Legion Kick on the Bound target unbalances them. Deals 15 damage, 120s cooldown
New Tier 4 Feat - Refined Phalanx
Active: Give all allies a moderate amount of Shield and Cleanse negative status effects. Grant 50 Shield for 10s, 180s cooldown
Default & Alternate Feats have been adjusted
Default Feats:
Tier 1: Body Count -> Amplified Roar
Tier 2: Inspire -> Eagle's March
Tier 3: Second Wind -> Enhanced Pugio
Tier 4: Catapult -> Refined Phalanx
Alternate Feats 1:
Tier 1: Bounty Hunter (no change)
Tier 2: Haymaker -> Inspire
Tier 3: Pugio -> Second Wind
Tier 4: Stalwart Banner (no change)
Alternate Feats 2:
Tier 1: Rush -> Body Count
Tier 2: Centurion's March -> Executioner's Respite
Tier 3: Sharpen Blade (no change)
Tier 4: Phalanx -> Catapult
[Developer's Comments]
We are revamping Centurion's Feats to be more focused on his signature moves.
Amplified Roar is meant to give more utility to Lion's Roar and set up ganks more effectively.
Eagle's Windfall is built to give Centurion's Eagle's Talon dual purpose: When used in a team fight, it should tilt the scales in favor of Centurion's team by giving a Defense debuff to their opponents. While being used in a gank, grant extra speed to let Centurion's team rotate faster to their next engagement.
Vainglorious Pugio is meant to make ganks more accessible and easier to set up.
Refined Phalanx now has a unique ability to Cleanse all negative status effects for Centurion's team while also giving them more survivability.
While this affects Centurion's main Feats, we also had to adjust the Hero's alternate Feats.
Centurion's March has been underperforming, and was replaced by Executioner's Respite as it fits better with Centurion's identity.
We are also removing Haymaker and replacing it with Inspire; Haymaker is causing too many issues with balancing and Inspire fits better with the Hero's identity as well.
With all these new Feats bolstering his kit, we're toning Eagles Talons down slightly and will continue to monitor it + similar moves.
CONQUEROR
Sprint Speed increased by 8%
GLADIATOR
Boleadoras now respects hit-stun rules.
If the victim was idle, they will enter 1st hit-stun and gain 25% damage reduction for subsequent hits if the attacker differs.
If the victim was already in 1st hit-stun, they will enter 2nd hit-stun and receive 75% damage reduction for subsequent hits, regardless of the attacker. Unlike traditional 2nd hit-stun, victims can be pinned again by other attackers.
If the victim was already in 2nd hit-stun, the projectile will not bind.
HIGHLANDER
Health increased to 130 (up from 125)
Offensive Form Lights are no longer Enhanced
Sprint Speed increased by 8%
[Developer's Comments]
Highlanders tend to trade a lot in Defensive Form, and his Health was on the lower side for trading Heroes, so we're increasing it slightly to make the Hero safer.
Offensive Form Light attacks are 400ms and Enhanced, and this makes them overly strong in multiple situations. We're removing the Enhanced property to make them less effective, especially when repeatedly used back to back.
HITOKIRI
Health increased to 130 (up from 125)
Sankotsu now has more forward movement
[Developer's Comments]
Hitokiri is a character that relies on trading with opponents to deal damage. We're increasing their Health slightly to make it a bit more favorable to do so.
Sankotsu is not matching our expectations as a roll catcher as well as a peeling tool, so we're increasing it's forward movement to give the Hero more reach during these situations.
JORMUNGANDR
Serpent Smite's now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400ms)
Hamarr Slam now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 100ms
Hamarr Slam now deals 28 damage (down from 30)
The Shield gained by Hamarr's Favor is now 20 (down from 25)
[Developer's Comments]
Serpent Smite is overperforming as a trading tool; by making the Uninterruptible Stance activation 100ms later, it should be trickier to use in certain situations and make Jormungandr easier to interrupt.
Hamarr Slam's overall weakness is that is easily peelable; due to the damage, Shield gain and ease of access, this felt like correct drawback to the move, but unfortunately this has proven to lead to the move having less usability as we would like it to have. We are thus modifying these components to increase the potential usage of the move, while reducing the other effects (lower Shield gain and lower damage) to compensate for the Armor gain.
JUREN
Lion's Pounce can now be interrupted on block.
Reduced the Stamina drain for holding Indomitable Stance to 2/s (down from 5/s)
[Developer's Comments]
Juren's side dodge attacks are very strong and differ from the cast as they are not as easy to counter due to their varying speeds. This creates situations where attackers must deal with an extra layer of reads when facing Juren.
With this change, when Juren dodges to the side and initiates an attack, players can place their block in the direction of the dodge; if the attack is a tapped version, it will be blocked and give the player frame advantage, while if it is the held version, players still need to deal with the attack as a feintable attack. This should help tone down the mixup from Juren and give attackers a better edge when fighting him. We'll keep an eye on this aspect, as well as other aspects of the Hero, to see if further changes are needed.
Indomitable Stance is weaker than most other defensive down stances, so we've adjusted the Stamina drain that occurs when holding it.
KENSEI
Sprint Speed increased by 8%
KHATUN
Fear and Fury Stance can now be cancelled into a dodge at 300ms (down from 500ms)
Zone Attack now has 433ms Guardbreak Vulnerability (up from 100ms)
[Developer's Comments]
Fear and Fury requires a large commitment, especially in team fights. We want to give it a bit more flexibility, so we're allowing dodge to be performed slightly sooner during the move. We will continue to monitor this to see if other adjustments are needed.
The Guardbreak Vulnerability window on Zone Attack was lower than intended. This has now been fixed.
LAWBRINGER
Side Light attacks are no longer Enhanced.
Top Heavy Opener now deals 23 damage (down from 25)
Top Heavy Chain now deals 24 damage (down from 26)
Top Heavy Finisher now deals 27 damage (down from 28)
Impaling Riposte is now feintable
[Developer's Comments]
Lawbringer has been overperforming, and we're toning the Hero down to bring the Hero's performance more towards expected levels.
The Hero's damage curve was too high, and Heavy attacks dealt too much damage, especially with guaranteed damage off Swift Justice, which also resets Lawbringer's chain.
Side Lights used to be Enhanced as Lawbringer struggled to open their opponents. This is no longer the case, so we're removing the property.
In the past, Impaling Riposte gave opponents a guaranteed parry when performed after a Heavy Parry. Now, by being feintable, even though the move doesn't force a reaction since it isn't unblockable, opponents will now have to guess if they want to capitalize on what looks like an easy parry.
NOBUSHI
Zone Attack (2nd hit) now costs 10 Stamina (down from 20)
Zone Attack (2nd hit) now applies Bleed that stacks (used to not stack with other Bleeds)
[Developer's Comments]
We're pushing some changes to Nobushi's Zone Attack to make it more usable, as well as fixing an issue where the 2nd hit's Bleed wouldn't stack.
OROCHI
Zone Attack can now cancel its recovery into a dodge at 200ms (up from 100ms)
[Developer's Comments]
Orochi's Zone Attack could be cancelled into a dodge quite early, and this gave the move more survivability as intended, especially by external opponents. This should put the move more in-line with other recovery cancels.
PEACEKEEPER
Dagger Cancel is now Unblockable when performed off a Top Heavy attack.
Feats
New Tier 1 Feat - Crossbow Wound
Active: Fires a crossbow that deals direct Bleed damage.
Deals 1+10 Bleed damage over 10s, 30s cooldown
New Tier 2 Feat - Bleed Armor
After a Hit on a Bleeding target, gain a Defense buff for a short duration.
Grants 25% damage reduction, 10s duration
New Tier 3 Feat - Sanguine Serrations
Active: Attacks apply Bleed. Passive: Hit a Bleeding target to reduce the Feat's cooldown.
Attacks deal an additional 10 Bleed over 5s. Active for 12s, 150s cooldown.
When hitting a Bleeding opponent while the Feat is on cooldown, the cooldown is reduced by 5 seconds.
New Tier 4 Feat - Induced Fear
Active: Nearby enemies receive a Defense debuff. Duration resets when killing enemies.
Reduces Defense by 30%, active for 20s, 180s cooldown
Default & Alternate Feats have been adjusted
Default Feats:
Tier 1: Bounty Hunter -> Crossbow Wound
Tier 2: Fiat Lux -> Bleed Armor
Tier 3: Crossbow -> Sanguine Serrations
Tier 4: Fear Itself -> Induced Fear
Alternate Feats 1:
Tier 2: Thick Skin -> Fiat Lux
Alternate Feats 2:
Tier 1: Conqueror -> Bounty Hunter
Tier 3: Sharpen Blade -> Punch Through
[Developer's Comments]
The Dagger Cancel changes aim to solve two problems.
Peacekeeper can struggle to pressure opponents externally because she requires her opponents to be Bleeding to be able to engage. While she has one of the best peel options in the game, this requires opponents to actively engage, and if they are being very defensive makes it difficult for Peacekeeper to be active during combat. By giving her access to a conditional Unblockable Dagger Cancel, the Hero can now apply Bleed in a more consistent manner and helps her be more active during combat.
Dagger Cancel from Top Stance is underperforming; opponents can block Top and beat both the attack AND dagger cancel, and they both are parried at the same timing. This change now forces opponents to make a read and risk a parry on an attack that is not normally worth parrying, and this should create new venues for Peacekeeper to open up opponents.
We are also revamping Peacekeeper's Feats to focus more on Bleed and its interactions.
As a Tier 1 Feat, Crossbow Wound gives Peacekeeper another way to apply Bleed, in a relatively easy way.
Bleed Armor is a new Feat that gives Peacekeeper more defense when hitting Bleeding targets; with Bleed becoming easier to apply, she should gain a significant survivability boost during team fights.
Sanguine Serrations is an improvement over Sharpen Blade; Peacekeeper can now apply Bleed more easily, which lowers the cooldown of Sanguine Serrations significantly, which then in turn lets her apply Bleed more consistently.
Finally, Induced Fear allows Peacekeeper to keep her Defense debuff for longer if she manages to land killing blows on her opponents.
We've also adjusted her alternate Feats to give Peacekeeper better choices that are more in-line with her Bleed focus.
PIRATE
Guaranteed Pistol Blast now deals 4 damage (down from 5)
Pistol Blast (after Walk the Plank) now deals 15 damage (up from 5)
Walk the Plank now deals 12 damage (down from 24)
[Developer's Comments]
Pirate has been overperforming at all skill levels since the buffs to Cavalier Dance and Walk the Plank.
Walk the Plank especially has been a strong tool in Pirate's arsenal when near walls, as she could land the move then release the victim into a wall splat that guaranteed an extra Heavy's worth of damage. To diminish this interaction, we're adjusting the damage curve so that Walk the Plank deals less damage up front and now requires a Pistol Blast to deal more damage, rather than front-loading the damage on Walk the Plank itself.
We're also lowering the damage of the Guaranteed version of Pistol Blast to deal slightly less damage; this change is small but amounts to significant amounts of damage over the course of a match.
RAIDER
Stampede Charge now costs 30 Stamina (down from 40)
Reaping Charge now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 400ms
Finishers can now chain to Raider's Fury
[Developer's Comments]
We're adjusting Stampede Charge's Stamina cost to align its usability with similar moves. Reaping Charge is slow and cannot be feinted, so now it has uninterruptible stance to make it a bit easier to use.
Raider could already extend their chain using Storming Tap, but this tends to lead to Heavy Finishers not being used as often as we'd like because the pressure from Storming Tap makes more sense in many situations. With the ability to chain to Raider's Fury after Heavy Finishers, this gives the Hero a new route to extend chains and gives more purpose to their Heavy Finishers.
SHAOLIN
Qi Stance Lights now deal 12 damage (down from 14)
Sun Sweep Follow Up now deals 20 damage (down from 24)
[Developer's Comments]
Lowering Qi Stance Light's damage to make these moves slightly less oppressive for their properties.
Sun Sweep Follow Up now deals less damage as a drawback for the safety of the move.
SHUGOKI
Charge of the Oni Stamina cost per second reduced to 15 (down from 25)
[Developer's Comments]
Shugoki is the only Hero with a low sprint speed that didn't get their base sprint speed adjusted. To compensate, we've reduced the Stamina cost for using Charge of the Oni allowing faster rotations on the map at the expense of a bit less Stamina.
SHINOBI
Super Sprint Stamina cost on activation increased to 10 (up from 0)
[Developer's Comments]
Although the effect is minor, by repeatedly de/activating Super Sprint it was possible to maintain some of its benefits without having the Stamina drain. This is the same behavior as Shugoki's Charge of the Oni.
SOHEI
Heavy Openers now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400)
Mad Monk now gains Uninterruptible Stance at 500ms (up from 400)
Sprint Speed increased by 8%
[Developer's Comments]
Sohei has been performing better with their recent changes, but their Uninterruptible Stances initiated too early, giving Sohei too much safety when using these attacks. We're pushing their timing back by 100ms to make it easier for opponents to interrupt Sohei, and to remove certain interactions where Sohei could feint after taking a hit and getting a guaranteed Guardbreak on opponents after a trade.
TIANDI
Side Dragon Dodge is now vulnerable to Guardbreak for 533ms (up from 400ms)
Side Dragon Dodge can be performed from side dodge from 200-500ms (up from 200-300ms)
Zone (1st hit) now costs 20 Stamina (down from 30)
[Developer's Comments]
We're fixing the Guardbreak Vulnerability of Side Dragon Dodge to match other slow dodge attacks (like Jiang Jun and Warmonger). If the attack is performed as early as possible during a side dodge, it will be vulnerable for a total of 733ms.
Similarly, we're increasing how late you can perform the move during side dodge for the same reasons.
Lastly, we're reducing Zone Attack's Stamina cost to make it slightly more useable even when feinted or soft feinting to Dragon Kick.
VIRTUOSA
Sidesways Misdirect can now be performed during side dodges from 200ms to 400ms (down from 200ms to 600ms)
Holding Posture now drains 5 Stamina per second (down from 7 per second)
[Developer's Comments]
We initially had a longer window during dodge to perform Sideways Misdirect for input comfort. However, this allowed Virtuosa to avoid certain mix-ups by delaying their attacks later, so it was reduced to standard values.
Posture is having its Stamina drain reduced to match standards. Unlike most other Defensive Stances, Virtuosa spends Stamina to exit Posture with attacks (except when dodging out of it). So for now, similar to Valkyrie, we won't be adding an extra cost on entry, but we will be monitoring this closely.
WARMONGER
Light Opener Attacks are now Enhanced
Vicious Impale Claw on unbalanced Out-of-Stamina opponents now deals 10+32 Bleed damage (up from 10+20 Bleed)
Beast of Prey now deals 22 damage (down from 24).
[Developer's Comments]
We had initially changed Warmonger's Opener Light attacks to remove the Enhanced property as we wanted the Hero focus more on other venues of opening-up opponents. While this worked, it also limited Warmonger's ability to use Vicious Impale and removed a route to open-up opponents. We're reverting the change to allow Warmonger more diversity in how she can be played and can pressure opponents.
Vicious Impale Claw has an issue where performing it on unbalanced opponents limits the damage output of Warmonger. We've increased the amount of Bleed damage this attack deals to ensure the tradeoff isn't too drastic.
Beast of Prey's damage is being reduced to be in line with similar slow dodge attacks.
FEATS
Last Laugh now deals 20 to 100 damage (down from 20 to 140)
[Developer's Comments]
We previously nerfed Last Laugh's damage, but it still is too rewarding at being able to one-shot the vast majority of the cast. With this, it should no longer one-shot opponents above 100 Health.
Corruption: Damage-per-tick reduced to 8 damage (down from 10)
[Developer's Comments]
Corruption's damage output is some of the highest in the game and makes the effect too strong. We're lowering the damage output of Corruption so it is less frustrating to fight against and is more in-line with other Feats.
BUG FIXES
BALANCING
Afeera: Fixed an issue that caused Orbiting Shield to debuff allies when hit.
Pirate: Fixed an issue that caused Trick Shot to debuff allies when hit.

This week’s Warrior’s Den focused on Title Update 2 for Year 10 Season 1: Glory, marking the return of For the Creed, For Honor’s Assassin’s Creed crossover event. Alongside the event, the update introduces new Hero Skins and bundles, a returning limited‑time game mode with a sle
This week’s Warrior’s Den focused on Title Update 2 for Year 10 Season 1: Glory, marking the return of For the Creed, For Honor’s Assassin’s Creed crossover event. Alongside the event, the update introduces new Hero Skins and bundles, a returning limited‑time game mode with a slew of lootable rewards, additional content, and a new balance rework.
Here’s a recap of what’s coming with TU2.
For a more detailed breakdown on what is coming in For Honor, we recommend watching the VOD of the Warrior’s Den.
As part of For Honor’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, the beloved For the Creed event returns as a limited‑time event, running from April 23rd to May 14th.
First introduced in 2018 as the first crossover event, it has since become one of For Honor’s most recognizable throwback events. The Year 10 version expands on previous editions, bringing Assassin’s Creed–themed content across every layer of the game, including cosmetics, brand new landing pages, gameplay visuals such as minions, and a dedicated event mode inspired by the conflict between Assassins and Templars.
Title Update 2 adds three new Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins, inspired by characters from Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla:
Naoe the Swift for Shinobi
Yasuke the Brave for Shugoki
Eivor Wolf‑Kissed for Berserker
Each Hero Skin features custom voice lines, recorded with special care to the original material: Naoe and Yasuke have been voiced by the returning original Japanese actors from the game Assassin’s Creed Shadows while Eivor’s dialogue is performed entirely in Icelandic, one of the language closest to the one created for the original game, reinforcing the character’s origins from Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
Hero Skins will be available individually or with bundle options offering additional exclusive content:
Assassin’s Creed Shadows bundle includes both Naoe the Swift and Yasuke the Brave Hero skins, as well as the bundle exclusive Iga’s furriest illustrious outfit. This bundle unlocks the Iga’s Furriest illustrious outfit for all Heroes in your roster.
Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle, that includes all contents from the Shadows bundle, along with the Ezio Auditore and Eivor Wolf-Kissed Skins. This bundle also unlocks four Assassin’s Creed themed executions for all Heroes in your roster too.
The new Assassin’s Creed’s themed executions introduced alongside the Hero Skins will be available as part of the Assassin’s Creed Ultimate bundle but also as standalone offer in the COTW from April 23rd to May 14th:
Naoe’s Vengeance
Yasuke’s Oath
Eivor’s Ardor
For the first time, Assassin’s Creed Hero Skins retain their signature weapons during those 3 new universal executions. Other heroes using these specific executions will temporarily switch to the associated Assassin’s Creed weapons for the duration of the animation.
The Assassini e Templari game mode returns from April 23rd to May 14th!
Based on modified Dominion rules, the event mode is available in Citadel Gate, River Fort and Beachhead, all three updated with Assassin’s Creed visual elements and iconic characters. Each team needs to capture lanes to summon an opposing commander, either Ezio Auditore or Cesare Borgia, and earn points by defeating them. Be on high alert to protect your own commander, blocking the enemy team from scoring an additional 300 points!
For the duration of this event and in the event game mode only, all Heroes will have access to the iconic drop attack animation, allowing attacks from elevated positions throughout the match.
While Assassini e Templari is live, players can unlock Assassin’s Creed’s themed rewards by completing event matches: lootable rewards include the Battle of Heroes, Valhalla Quest and the Animus Project Battles Outfits. The Ruler of the Masses Elite Outfit will also be lootable.
Several effects are also available, including Vitruvian Hero, Welcome to Valhalla, and Templar Synchronization. Players will also be able to loot the Heroes of Heathmoor and Synin’s Wings Ornaments and event‑exclusive weapon customization.
A Free Event Pass is also available for the duration of the event, bringing back Assassin’s Creed crossover rewards and introducing special weapons for Shinobi, Shugoki, Berserker, and Peacekeeper. Progress can be earned by playing Assassini e Templari or completing Daily Orders.
A time‑limited event leaderboard tracking players performances within the mode will be available for the duration of the event.
Outside the event, the Arena of Echoes TU1 map realization joins matchmaking for a limited time:
Brawl: May 14th to May 28th
Duel: May 28th to June 11th
Title Update 2 also includes a Shinobi Hero Trial, allowing the hero to be played for free for a week, from April 23rd to April 30th.
Upcoming Hero Fests are also scheduled and will be as follows:
Highlander – May 21th
Zhanhu – May 28th
Warden – June 4th
A new balance rework will go live with TU2, continuing ongoing adjustments to hero performance and combat systems. Full details will be available in the patch notes that will go live tomorrow on the season’s launch, on April 23rd.

Introducing Seasonal Leaderboards, letting players track their performance in Events and Ranked, compete with friends, and see how they stack up against the community.
Spectator Camera - Auto Mode
We're adding a new option to Spectator Mode: Auto Mode.
When enabled, the game will automatically choose the most interesting fighter to watch at any moment. It switches between players (or bots replacing players) based on what's happening on the battlefield, giving you a dynamic and engaging view of the action without needing to control the camera yourself.
Inventory size: we are increasing the inventory size limit from 60 to 120 items so you can now enjoy more storage space for your hard-earned loot!
Loadout Copy: you can now copy an existing loadout directly to another slot so it's easier to replicate your favorite setup.
Outfit Purchase: you can now purchase a full outfit directly from an outfit item's page so it's easier to get that one Ornament you've been looking for.
Traversal Emotes We're introducing Traversal Emotes - emotes that keep playing even while you move. Unlike standard emotes that stop when you walk or run, these let your hero stay animated as you navigate the battlefield.
Introduce an "Equip All" button in each customization section. With a single click, the chosen customizations are applied uniformly to all areas.
FEATS
Bounty Hunter healing is now 16 (down from 20)
[Developers' Comments]
Bounty Hunter is often overshadowing other Tier 1 feats, so we're toning it down slightly to help other feats shine.
Longbow damage is now 40 (down from 50)
Neptune's wrath damage is now 40 (down from 50)
Javelin damage is now 40 (down from 50)
Boleadoras damage is now 20 (down from 25)
Flaming Arrow damage is now 10+40 fire damage (down from 20+40 fire damage)
[Developers' Comments]
We're lowering the damage of Tier 3 projectiles to diminish the frustration of getting hit with high damage from off-screen attacks.
Last Laugh damage now ranges from 20 to 140 (down from 25 to 150)
[Developers' Comments]
Feats that trigger on death are very divisive; some players hate it, some players love it. We want to find the middle ground where it doesn't feel that the optimal way to play is to die, but force players to be mindful of how/when they go for the kill. This is why we are lowering the minimum and maximum damage the feat can deal to give more chance for the attacker to survive the blast.
DEFENSIVE STANCES
One of the current dominating strategies is to outnumber opponents with one of the attackers remaining in a defensive stance (such as Conqueror's Full Block Stance or Virtuosa Posture). This limits the use of trajectories by the outnumbered player, to deal with the assailants.
While we don't want to restrict players' creative freedom, we are making a change to encourage healthier & more dynamic gameplay. In general, this means defensive stances will now cost lower stamina on entry but drain stamina after the stance is held for at least 1 second.
This change affects:
Black Prior's Bulwark Stance
Conqueror's Full Block Stance
Juren's Indomitable Stance
Kyoshin's Kaze Stance
Valkyrie's Shield Tackle Stance
Virtuosa's Postures
Warlord's Full Block Stance
When performed in Top Stance, Deadly Feint is now Undodgeable.
[Developer's Comments]
This is a small change that forces opponents to deal with the mix up instead of dodging away. To avoid gaining too much pressure, we limited this improvement to Top Stance Deadly Feint (ie: when doing a soft feint to Top Light).
Horizon Spin stamina cost is now 20 (down from 40)
Bulwark Stance entry stamina cost is now 6 (down from 10)
Bulwark Stance now costs 5 stamina/second after being held for 1 second.
Umbral Shelter (Tier 4 Feat) Shield amount per pulse is now 20 (down from 50)
Umbral Shelter Shield duration is now infinite (up from 3s)
[Developer's Comments]
Umbral Shelter is a strong feat meant to help stall. However, it was too effective while having a limited window of opportunity to be impactful.
We've toned down the effect but made the shield last longer so it can have more impact overall.
Other adjustments are in line with the general Defensive Stance changes.
Full Block Stance entry stamina cost is now 6 (down from 10)
Full Block Stance now costs 5 stamina/second after being held for 1 second.
Crashing Shield Crush stamina cost is now 30 (down from 60)
Crashing Apprehension now has more forward movement
[Developer's Comments]
We're increasing the forward movement on Crashing Apprehension to help deal with opponents that back walk and dodge a lot.
In addition, we're lowering the stamina cost for Crashing Shield Crush as it remains niche since it requires allies to capitalize on.
Zone attack (1st hit) stamina cost is now 20 (down from 30)
Zone attack (2nd hit) stamina cost is now 10 (down from 20)
Bamboozle can be performed after Sprint Attack on Hit/Block/Miss (instead of just after Miss)
Chains from 300 to 500ms on Hit / Block.
No change to the chain timing on miss (from 100 to 400ms)
Bamboozle no longer stuns
Slightly reduced the movement of Bamboozle (attacker & victim) to better match the animation visual.
[Developer's Comments]
Similar to other heroes, we're reducing the overall stamina cost for Zone attack's multiple hits.
Bamboozle can now be performed after Running Heavy even on Hit and Block (not just Miss). This is a risky attack but was simply too niche to even attempt. With these changes, players should have more opportunities to gamble for it and potentially wall splat for bigger damage.
However, now that it can be used more often, we've removed the stun property on it and reduced the movement slightly to better match the animations.
Chain Heavies damage is now 26 (up from 25)
[Developer's Comments]
Gryphon already received a significant buff in the previous patch, so we refrained from making bigger changes this time around.
This is a small adjustment to bring Chain Heavies in line with other similar attacks.
Top Stance Mangetsu damage is now 24 (up from 22)
Top Stance Endless Myriad damage is now 24 (up from 22)
Left/Right Stance Mangetsu (Charged) damage is now 28 (down from 30)
Left/Right Stance Endless Myriad (Charged) damage is now 28 (down from 30)
Sankotsu now gains uninterruptible stance
Starts at 400ms and lasts until end of strike.
Spirit Shroud (Tier 3 Feat) now provides 25% damage reduction (up from 15%)
[Developer's Comments]
We want to give a bit more incentives to go for the Top Stance version that doesn't benefit from trajectories to hit additional enemies in external. So, we increased the damage of uncharged Top Heavy attacks while reducing the damage of charged Side Heavy attacks.
Sankotsu cannot be feinted. It is meant to be a commitful move. By giving it Uninterruptible stance, it is still a commitful action in duels but much easier to perform in group fights.
Lastly, Spirit Shroud is getting a small buff to bring it more in line with other Tier 3 feats.
Fatal Swirl stamina cost is now 20 (down from 60)
Dou Shi's Swirl stamina cost is now 20 (down from 30)
[Developer's Comments]
Like other heroes, we're lowering the stamina cost to make Zone Attacks more useable.
Hamarr Slam damage is now 30 (down from 32)
Hamarr's Favor (Tier 2 Feat) Shield is now 20 (down from 40)
Hamarr's Favor Shield duration is now infinite (up from 5s) and can now stack
[Developer's Comments]
We're happy with Hamarr Slam being a powerful move but after observing the results from the last season, it was slightly above what we intended. We're toning it down and will continue to monitor it, and similar moves.
As for Hamarr's Favor, it was very strong in the past due to the Revenge Shield Bug. Now that the bug is fixed, we can start adjusting this feat to be more impactful.
We've toned down the effect but also removed the time limit on the shield. This way, if you land multiple Hamarr Slams without taking damage, it can lead to a much bigger shield.
Indomitable Stance entry stamina cost is now 6 (down from 10)
Indomitable Stance now costs 5 stamina/second after being held for 1 second.
Peace Breaker damage is now 14 (down from 16)
Peace Breaker now chains to Titan's Strike, Titan's Rampage, Havoc Unleashed, Havoc Harbinger at 2200ms (up from 2100ms)
Crown Breaker damage is now 0 (down from 5)
Unstoppable Force hit is now at 800ms (up from 700ms)
Unstoppable Force's area of effect on minion is reduced by approximately 15%
Unruly Destruction damage is now 22 (down from 24)
Devastating Jab now has less backwards movement when done while holding back input
Devastating Swing now has less backwards movement when done while holding back input
Defiant Stab block recovery is now 700ms (down from 800ms)
Defiant Swipe block recovery is now 700ms (down from 800ms)
Titan's Strike block recovery is now 700ms (down from 800ms)
Titan's Rampage block recovery is now 700ms (down from 800ms)
Last Man Standing now provides 20% defense buff (down from 25%)
Last Man Standing now provides 20% damage buff (down from 25%)
God Among Men now provides 35% defense debuff to all enemy heroes (down from 40%)
God Among Men now provides 25% defense debuff to all ally heroes (down from 30%)
[Developer's Comments]
In continuation with the previous patch, we are adjusting aspects of Juren's kit that led to extremely high damage and frustration. That said, we'll also be providing small adjustments to ensure he isn't more punishable than intended.
First, both Last Man Standing and God Among Men are being nerfed to tone down the overall damage in Juren's kit and reduce its stalling potential.
Peace Breaker's & Crown Breaker's damages are lowered to better match damage from in chain bashes and other heavy parry punishes. We've also delayed when attacks can be performed after Peace Breaker to avoid guaranteed attacks due to trajectories hitting earlier when swapping targets.
Unruly Destruction's damage was also reduced to compensate for the wide trajectory of the move.
Unstoppable Force could have too much of an impact on maps with a thin mid lane, so we've adjusted the area of effect that can kill minions. We also lowered its speed as it was slightly too good to engage with as an off-screen attack.
Devastating Jab & Devastating Swing have less backward movement to make them easier to punish on miss.
The backwards movement of Devastating Jab & Devastating Swing was lowered to make it easier to punish on miss.
Lastly, we've reduced recoveries from all of Juren's Light attacks when blocked. Otherwise, all of Juren's offensive options would lose to Guardbreak. These values are in line with the CCU changes we did many seasons ago.
When Superior Blocking with a Dodge, the following Dodge Attack now has Unblockable and Uninterruptible stance.
Starts at 100ms, lasts until end of strike.
Nature's Wrath now has Uninterruptible stance.
Starts at 500ms, lasts until end of strike.
[Developer's Comments]
Kensei had a unique defense dodge ability but couldn't capitalize on it. We want to give players more reasons to try and time their dodge at a specific timing, while keeping the character unique. By making dodge attacks uninterruptible and unblockable after a successful superior block on dodge, Kensei's will have an easier time to impact teamfights without increasing any attack damage.
In addition, Nature's Wrath is a slow forward dodge attack that cannot be feinted. We're giving it uninterruptible stance to make it less risky to perform and give it more incentives to perform instead of only relying on Helm Splitter.
Kaze Stance entry stamina cost is now 6 (down from 10)
Kaze Stance now costs 5 stamina/second after being held for 1 second.
Kagerou (Feat 1) bleed damage per attack is now 3 (down from 4)
[Developer's Comments]
We're adjusting the bleed damage dealt by Kagerou to put it more in line with other Tier 1 feats.
Astral Manifestation (Staff) damage is now 55 (up from 50)
Astral Manifestation (Axe) damage is now 55 (down from 70)
[Developer's Comments]
The Axe version of Astral Manifestation overshadows the Staff version. It was leading to high damage in addition to being a versatile feat.
We're adjusting the values to make the Staff version more worth it, while the Axe remains a quick range attack with high damage.
Heavy finishers are now undodgeable
Thread of Fate (Feat 3) cooldown is now 45s (down from 60s)
Infection (Feat 4) cooldown is now 100s (down from 120s)
[Developer's Comments]
Nuxia has been underperforming slightly, so we are making small improvements to their kit.
Heavy Finishers are now undodgeable to make them more threatening and give a better mix up to Nuxia for reaching them.
Feats 3 & 4 now have shorter cooldowns to give them a more value throughout the match.
Zone attack (1st hit) stamina cost is now 10 (down from 15)
Zone attack (2nd hit) stamina cost is now 10 (down from 15)
Zone attack has slightly less forward movement on the 2nd and 3rd strikes.
Sickle Rain revenge gain is now 20 (down from 30)
All Sickle Rain Stabs revenge gain is now 4 (down from 10)
[Developer's Comments]
Similar top other heroes, we're lowering the stamina cost to perform Zone Attacks so it can be used more frequently.
However, Shinobi's Zone attack could become very difficult to parry when done at certain ranges so we reduced its forward movement to mitigate this.
Lastly, we're reducing the overall revenge Sickle Rain & Stabs granted to go with recent Revenge & Anti-gank tweaks.
Sprint attack Light damage is now 16 (up from 15)
Sprint attack Heavy damage is now 20 (up from 16)
Sprint attack Heavy now has uninterruptible stance
Starts at 400ms and lasts until end of strike.
Light Opener damage is now 12 (up from 9)
Heavy Opener damage is now 27 (up from 23)
Front dodge Yamabushi Style damage is now 16 (up from 9)
Front dodge Yamabushi Spirit damage is now 20 (up from 16)
Front dodge Yamabushi Spirit now has uninterruptible stance
Starts at 500ms and lasts until end of strike.
Side dodge Yamabushi Style damage is now 16 (up from 11)
Side dodge Yamabushi Spirit damage is now 14 (up from 11)
Side dodge Yamabushi Spirit now has uninterruptible stance
Starts at 400ms and lasts until end of strike.
God Hand Light damage is now 16 (up from 11)
God Hand Heavy damag is now 14 (up from 11)
God Hand Heavy now has uninterruptible stance
Starts at 100ms and lasts until end of strike.
Seven-Force Strike damage is now 72 (down from 95)
Soul Soother (Feat 2) healing reduced to 80 health (down from full health)
[Developer's Comment]
When we created Sohei, our goal was to have a trade-off through-out the kit to compensate for Seven-Force Strike's damage potential. However, with time, player feedback and data, it is clear that we were too severe.
In this patch, we're reviewing the entire kit to try and create less frustration while still keeping Sohei's unique moves. To compensate, Seven-Force Strike's damage was significantly reduced.
To ensure each move has a clear purpose, we've adjusted Yamabushi Spirit to deal slightly less damage than Yamabushi Style, but it gains uninterruptible stance. The same principle is true for God Hand Heavy in comparison to God Hand Light.
Lastly, we've reduced the total healing Soul Soother could provide to a set amount, because it allowed for too much stalling for a Tier 2 feat.
Shield Tackle Stance now drains 5 stamina per second after 1 second of being held.
[Developer's Comments]
Unlike most other Defensive Stances, Valkyrie spends stamina upon releasing Shield Tackle (except when dodging out of it). So for now, we won't be adding an extra cost on entry. However, we will be monitoring this closely.
Posture now costs 7 stamina/second after being held for 1 second.
[Developer's Comments]
In this patch we have added back the stamina cost for entering defensive stances and added a drain after holding it for 1 second.
In Virtuosa's case however, it felt too punishing as they must pick between chaining and Posture. To avoid the entry cost but still have additional stamina cost for Posture, its stamina drain is higher than the norm.
Zone attack stamina cost is now 20 (down from 30)
[Developer's Comments]
Zone Attacks used to have a high cost to justify the trajectory. This is no longer as important, so we're lowering the stamina cost to encourage more usage.
Zone attack stamina cost is now 20 (down from 30)
Crashing Charge stamina cost is now 30 (down from 40)
Full Block Stance entry stamina cost is now 6 (down from 10)
Full Block Stance now costs 5 stamina/second after being held by 1 second.
[Developer's Comments]
Most of these changes are simply the standard stamina changes for defensive stances and zone attacks.
Like Zone attacks, unique sprint attacks still have very high stamina cost. We want to make them slightly more useable so we're lowering its cost too.
Maps
Qiang Pass: Fixed an issue where Player could land out of playable area, after dropping from a zipline near the minion lane.

For ten years, legends have been forged in battle, their deeds echoing across Heathmoor. The tales of timeless heroes still resound in every clash and every strike.
Heathmoor lives under the stifling peace imposed by Guljin and her Khatuns. While most submit, Gryphon endures. Unable to fight openly, he takes on a new mantle as The Scorching Herald, wearing a fiery griffon-shaped armor forged to reveal his true potential. Through grand tales of legendary battles, he rekindles the taste for glory and sets the cycle of war in motion once more.

Welcome to our 10TH Year! Join us in the celebration as Cycle of War launches on March 12.
We started this Year reveal with panache! If you have missed the Y10 Reveal trailer which unveil the Yearly Roadmap, you can check it out HERE.
We presented the updates planned for our Season 1 during our first Warrior’s Den of Year 10 and we are even more excited to confirm For Honor will continue past Y10. This is an amazing milestone we are honored to celebrate with you and thanks to you, our glorious warriors.
To celebrate this 10th anniversary, the reputation 100 is now achievable with the exclusive execution “Look at my trophy” as a reward.
For more details we suggest checking out the VOD for Y10 Reveal Warrior's Den Livestream.
The Khatuns rule Heathmoor. Horkos and Chimera have knelt or fallen. Enraged, Gryphon nearly fades away, but instead he travels, observing the innocent suffer under cold peace and the warriors who’ve lost the will to fight. Swayed to spark change, Gryphon dons a new suit of armor and becomes The Scorching Herald.
Around campfires and in ruined strongholds, the Herald shares epic stories of spirit and purpose. He speaks of Apollyon, Tozen, Gudmundr—of glory earned, tested, and forged in monumental battles. His embellished tales conjure a Glorious Dream Arena, where past and present meet, reminding warriors of what they can still become. With each fire lit, The Scorching Herald inspires a new era of battle.

New Legendary Hero Skin: The Scorching Herald
Heathmoor lives under the stifling peace imposed by Guljin and her Khatuns. While most submit, Gryphon endures. Unable to fight openly, he takes on a new mantle as The Scorching Herald, wearing a fiery griffon-shaped armor forged to reveal his true potential. Through grand tales of legendary battles, he rekindles the taste for glory and sets the cycle of war in motion once more.
This Legendary Skin includes a voice over rework and never-seen before permanent visual effects for a skin that feels powerful, unique, and impossible to miss in-game.
To celebrate this next step in Skin realisation on For Honor, the bundle Tales of Gryphon including the Hero Gryphon, the Scorching Herald Skin, 14-day champion status and 6 scavenger crates is available too!
Gryphon will be free to play for a full week, starting on March 12th, with the Hero Trials.
The Battle Pass introduces a new aesthetic inspired by Shining Glory: embody the Spirit of the Sun and the Moon to exult worthiness and illuminate the battlefield with the Exultant Weapons, the Exultant Sunlight Mood Effect and more.
We have also worked on a new kind of emote for the Battle Pass rewards: Victory Lap is our first traversal Emote, now allowing players to roam gloriously around the battlefield.
Releasing at the same time, the Legacy Pass will bring back loved content from Y6S1 and the lost reliquary of Wyverndale: from the ancient past of Heathmoor comes old weapons that once again glisten in the light of day. Arm yourself with the blades of Heathmoor’s original warriors, and fight like the forebears of old.
To launch our Y10 Season 1 with a blast, Warriors will be able to claim the Warden Hero Skin Lord Ramiel in the Y10S1 Battle Bundle.
New Event with Limited-Time Game Mode Arena of Echoes:
Starting the Season with the fighting memories of formidable foes, the new mode “Arena of Echoes” will allow three teams of two players to be randomly paired with iconic characters from the campaign, either Apollyon, Tozen or Gudmundr, to fight against in intense battles. Each of them will give a shield Boost to your team if you defeat them, but be careful to protect your own team, as you cannot revive fallen iconic characters.
Arena of Echoes will run from March 12th to April 2nd and, moving forward, players will need to either play the game mode event or complete daily orders to unlock the rewards. We’ve also made progression faster for players to be able to unlock the full event pass more easily. Play the Event to have a chance to claim the Griffin Inspiration Battle Outfit, the Griffin Seal Mood effect or the Ornament Griffin Union.
A new armor set will also be added for this free event pass, for Conqueror.
Guljin and her Khatuns have imposed a stifling peace on Heathmoor, yet Gryphon remains defiant: As glory spreads so does unrest, and the cycle of war stirs once more. Step into the Arena of Echoes to engrave your name in Legends – on par with Apollyon, Gudmundr or Tozen - with for the first time an Event Leaderboard that will span for the duration of the Event (see below for more details).
As we mentioned above, there will be also the implementation of Event Leaderboards this Season. Those leaderboards are tied to the event-game mode only and will consider your performance when you play the Event game mode. The tracked metric will change depending on the Game Mode Event’s gameplay. Check out where you stand and climb the ladder of success before the leaderboard closes at the same time than the Event! However, once the game mode ends, you’ll still have some time to check out the leaderboard before it disappears. Temporary Events Leaderboards will be available for all Events game modes of Year 10.
Hero Fests will run for a week, offering a unique execution and an extra XP bonus for each of the Heroes below:
Raider, April 2nd
Sohei, April 9th
Centurion, April 16th
Customization has seen major upgrades last year with the addition of a 9th loadout and we are now increasing the inventory limit to 120, to ensure you can customize your Heroes to your heart's content.
Speaking of customization, starting tomorrow, you’ll have the option to equip all when selection patterns, symbols or embossing. You’ll also be able to copy existing loadout to another slot. The process to choose and purchase from the outfit items page has also been reworked to be more intuitive. For Fashion!
We will also put more emphasis on the Lore starting from now-on, with efforts to have Heroes connected actively into the narrative by treating them increasingly more as personified characters, while keeping them fully customizable to ensure our players can express their individuality.
Year 10 Season 1 Armor variations will offer new customization possibilities to Knight Heroes and with the newly added 120 limits on inventory, you can be the most stylish warrior on the battlefield on all occasions.
The latest patch note is including an extensive rework to improve the balancing of Heroes and is a testament of our will to continuously improve the game experience. See below a quick summary of the changes that will be made starting March 12. An article will be made available at the launch of the Season that detail the full balancing changes.
The following heroes will be reworked with various changes: Aramusha, Gryphon, Jormungandr, Shinobi, Virtuosa, Warden, Warlord, Black Prior, Conqueror, Gladiator, Hitokiri, Sohei and Juren
The following feats have also been reworked: Bounty Hunter, Longbow, Neptune’s Wrath, Javelin, Boleadoras, Flaming Arrow and Last Laugh
The show wrapped up with a look at upcoming content for March, including weekly Arcade Quests, event orders, and more. As a friendly reminder, we encourage you to check out the VOD on our Twitch channel, where you'll find a more in-depth look at what's to come.
That’s it for the first Warrior’s Den of Year 10, bathed in Glory. See you on the battlefield in the Arena of Echoes!
