Ubisoft’s melee combat game For Honor has amassed a large character roster since it released in 2017, including a crossover with the Prince of Persia franchise. As part of its Year 4, Season 2 of content, “Tyranny,” For Honor has added a new warrior type called the Warmongers who aim to unite renegade members of every faction so they can “start a new era” devoid of the old gods.
The Warmonger class uses five variants of a two-handed sword called the flamberge, has control over a dark power called Corruption, and can charge attacks with razor-sharp claws built into their armor. This fighting style compared to other For Honor characters is described as “easy” and “adaptable” in to the official bio by Ubisoft.
Members of the Warmonger class are similar to Apollyon, one of the game’s main antagonists who headlined content like the For Honor Apollyon’s Legacy event in 2018, in that they take armor from their enemies and use it to reforge their own goods. In fact, much of the lore behind the Warmongers involve them having to “abandon their former identity,” and be reborn as a member of the Order of Horkos by using old armor and weapons to create something new.
Constant new additions to For Honor have made it one of Ubisoft’s more widely-recognized properties in recent years. In fact, a For Honor “Warden” was added into Samurai Shodown, the recent reboot of SNK’s fighting game that also just introduced GongSun Li from Tencent’s MOBA Honor of Kings.
For Honor is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
