In For Honor, we provide tips for the Dominion mode. These roles should be taken on by your heroes.
If you throw yourselves blindly into the fray in Dominion mode, you will likely come home with a defeat. At the very least, you will not be helping your team if you stagger around the battlefield aimlessly.
To avoid this, you will find here some hints and tips on how you should play with your hero classes in Dominion.
Vanguards – The Shock Troops in Dominion
The Shock Troop warriors are the Warden, the Berserker, and the Kensei. They are balanced fighters who perform solidly in both attack and defense.
The Shock Troop warriors earn more glory in the 4v4 Dominion mode by defeating outnumbered opponents and taking out adds. With this glory, you unlock gifts that provide advantages in battle.
As Shock Troops you should:
Capture and hold the neutral zone (usually B)
Kill as many adds as possible
Engage enemy heroes who want to take the neutral zone
Only leave zone B when there is no danger and you need to assist at another zone
Recommended gifts are Collecting Corpses and Rally.
Assassins – The Assassins in Dominion
The Assassins in For Honor are quick and have a short range. They are particularly suited for counter-attacks. This class includes the Orochi, the Berserker, and the Peacekeepers.
They earn more glory for their gifts by eliminating heroes and executing kill streaks.
As Assassins you should:
Focus primarily on A and C – capturing them as quickly as possible
Defeat enemy heroes when they come at you one at a time
Retreat when the enemy heroes are in the majority
and not die to maintain your kill streaks.
For gifts, you should choose ones that benefit your speed and damage output.
Heavies – The Heavy Fighters in Dominion
Among the “heavy” fighters are the Conqueror, the Warlord, and the Shugoki. They come with strong defense and hit hard, but are slower than other classes.
You gain more glory for your gifts by supporting allies in battle and saving them. Additionally, there is more glory when you stand in and defend the zones.
As a Heavy you should:
Capture zones, stay in them, and hold them – ideally the zone near the enemy spawn
Prevent enemies from recapturing this zone
Utilize your high health to trigger revenge mode often
Only leave the zone when it is not in danger and allies nearby need support.
Your task is to be steadfast. Therefore, choose gifts that enhance your health, stamina, and defensive abilities.
Hybrids – The Hybrids in Dominion
The Hybrids are flexible, unique warriors, including the Lawbringer, the Valkyrie, and the Nobushi.
Since the Hybrids can fulfill many roles, you should deploy them where they are needed – and where there might be a lack.
The Lawbringer can fill the roles of the Shock Troop warriors and Heavies,
the Valkyrie the roles of the Assassins and Heavies
and the Nobushi the roles of the Assassins and Shock Troop warriors.
