In For Honor , a user created an overview of the most popular classes of the beta. These heroes were the ones he encountered the most.
The open beta of For Honor ended on February 12th. Numerous interested fans took a look inside and tested the brutal melee combat.
The Redditor Moctuzuma examined the beta particularly closely: He noted the heroes he encountered from each match played. He wanted to find out which hero classes are the most popular.
Orochi are popular
The user states that he did not count bots or his own party members. If a player was replaced during a match, the hero choice of the new player was noted. This brought him to over 250 heroes across the four game modes.
His result:
- The most popular class by far is the Orochi of the samurai.
- The second place is shared by Peacekeepers, Berserkers, and Wardens.
- The third place goes to the Nobushi.
The most popular fighter type is the assassin style. He illustrates his results in a chart:
Depending on the game mode, the Redditor created individual charts. The Orochi was obviously the most popular hero in all modes.
In the duel, the Wardens were also strongly represented – stronger than in any other mode:
In 2v2, there is a noticeable increase in Nobushi:
In domination mode, Orochi and Peacekeepers dominate. The remaining classes are balanced.
In elimination, alongside Orochi, Peacekeepers, Nobushi, and Wardens, the Kensei are also frequently represented:
However: The validity of this data has its limits. On reddit, this fan work is praised and found interesting, but 250 heroes are not very representative. Furthermore, the distribution in the full version will certainly be different than in the open beta, where players wildly switched characters – also over a longer period of time.
Nonetheless: It is no coincidence that Orochi, Peacekeepers, Wardens, Berserkers, and Nobushi are so strong here. They are also among the best hero classes of the open beta.
