You don’t see this every day in For Honor: A player dodges an attack with the Berserker’s jump emote.
In For Honor, each hero has several gestures, called “emotes”. With these, you can trigger specific animations of your character that usually express joy or anger – or are just amusing, like this pony emote.
Typically, players use the gestures at the beginning or end of matches. During a fight, they are just a distraction, as during the animation you are left vulnerable to the enemy.
However, if you want to activate an emote in battle, the Berserker’s jump might be worth a try. The Redditor TheRealCrayfish shows the community how he managed to dodge an attack with it. See for yourself:
Users joke: New emote meta discovered!
In this GIF, you see the end of a melee fight. Apparently, the Berserker was able to win the round with a Conqueror by his side. To everyone’s delight, the Berserker performed the jump emote – just as the Conqueror prepared to strike. Although in For Honor you can also hit your teammates, this hit did not count.
The reactions to this clip vary: some praise the perfect timing, while others joke that this is the new emote meta. Others emphasize that it is difficult for a Berserker to hit teammates with attacks. The gesture had no impact on why the hit did not count.
In any case: This clip is cool to watch and directly motivates some players to try out all emotes during a fight to possibly find a gesture that is useful in a duel. At the moment, however, it doesn’t seem like bouncing Berserkers or lawbringers riding ponies will dominate the battlefields in For Honor in the future.
Interesting: In For Honor, it takes over 2.5 years to unlock everything. Or you can reach deep into your wallet.
