For Honor has a major patch incoming, which will make changes to many of the game’s heroes. The PC version of For Honor will receive the patch, labeled 1.03, tomorrow (February 28) at 8 a.m. Eastern after the game goes down for a 15-minute maintenance period due to the patch.

Those playing For Honor on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will have to wait until the patch can make its way through the certification process with Sony and Microsoft, however. The developers do not have a timetable on when that process will be complete, but promise to update fans with any news.

Among the warriors getting adjusted in this patch, the Valkyrie looks to be getting the most amount of change, who will get an overall buff as promised. Ubisoft said the previous nerf to Valkyrie impacted its dueling ability too greatly, taking the hero from the top dueler in the game to dead last. To correct it, a few of Valkyrie’s attacks will do more damage, and some will have a quicker recovery time before strikes, meaning Valkyrie can now perform strikes faster.

As for the Peacekeeper hero, Ubisoft says the patch will roll back some unintended bugs that resulted from implementing changes to Peacekeeper during the For Honor beta. After the patch, Peacekeeper should perform as the developers originally intended.First and foremost, the character’s bleed damage will return for each stab, in addition to increasing Peacekeeper’s Stab and Light Attack.

Speaking of guardbreak, this patch will roll back the mechanic to how it worked during the beta “in order to have it be a more usable skill,” according to the developers. More specifically, that means a player can now counter a guardbreak if guardbroken during their own guardbreak animation. Previously, if a player hit guardbreak, but the other player’s guardbreak collided first, they were unable to counter and push the player away.

Patch 1.03 will also make various small fixes and improvements to the game’s UI, chat system, and graphics. There’s no word about any fixes coming in this patch to For Honor’s anti-cheat system, which is reportedly banning a large number of players who are not guilty of any kind of cheating.

For Honor will have been out for two weeks when this patch hits, launching to positive reviews and topping the UK sales charts.

For Honor is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

All Fighters

  • We reverted the Guardbreak mechanics to the Beta behavior in order to have it be a more usable skill. Guardbreak is no longer un-counterable if you’re Guardbroken during Guardbreak startup. Attacks that cannot be blocked because they are too fast no longer display the Unblockable Attack feedback. Fixed camera clipping issues with walls on executions

Some tweaking was made on the Peacekeeper during the Beta, which caused some bugs and unintended changes. We are changing some of her moves to behave as designed.

  • Fixed the Peacekeeper Guardbreak and Bleed stacking bug Stab 1 applies 2 dmg + 15 Bleed dmg over 10 sec Stab 2 applies 2 dmg + 12 Bleed dmg over 8 sec Stab 3 applies 2 dmg + 9 Bleed dmg over 6 sec Bleed damage now stacks up for a total of 36 dmg, in the Beta this total was higher (45dmg) but has been reduced for balancing along with the accompanied bug fix Increased the range of the Peacekeeper Stab Attack to fix issues with missed stabs and therefore not applying Bleed Stab range increased from 1 m to 2 m Changed the range distance of the Peacekeeper Light Attack.

  • Berserker’s Light Attacks and chained Light Attacks recoveries on Block reduced from 900 ms to 700 ms Conqueror’s Light Attacks and chained Light Attacks recoveries on Block reduced from 900 ms to 700 ms

Overall Valkyrie gameplay update/buff. We found that the changes we made during our latest Technical Test were impacting too much the dueling abilities of the Valkyrie.
