In For Honor, the developers are discussing future gameplay improvements: The Valkyries will be buffed.
For Honor has only been on the market for a few days, but there is already some information about upcoming updates. Community Manager Eric Pope discusses some issues raised by fans on Reddit and how the developers will respond.
Bots with Full Health Points
First, there is an issue in the Duel, Brawl, and Deathmatch modes. When players leave the match, they are currently replaced directly by a bot with full health points.
In the future, this should change: If a player leaves the match, they will be replaced by a dead bot. In the Duel mode, you will automatically win this round. In the following rounds, the bot will replace the player as usual.
Counter for Guardbreak
Currently, you cannot counter a Guardbreak if the Guardbreak attempt is already in progress. During the beta, this was possible. A future update will restore this mechanic to how it worked in the beta.
The Guardbreak is a mechanic that allows you to make the opponent defenseless at the press of a button for a short time. Every hero masters it.
Changes to Heroes
There is a bug with Conquerors and Berserkers: When the opponent blocks a light attack, both classes can combine this into a Guardbreak. This will be fixed.
There is also a bug with Peacekeepers: After a Guardbreak, the second and third stab do not cause bleeding. This will also be fixed.
The Valkyries will receive several buffs:
- Light attacks can be executed more quickly in chain attacks.
- The recovery time for light attacks has been reduced.
- Ambush Strike and Hunter’s Blow deal more damage and can be followed up with attacks.
- Shield Crush: A chain attack can then follow with light attacks.
- Hunter’s Storm: The recovery time will be reduced.
However, Pope did not reveal when these changes can be expected. It is also still unclear whether all adjustments will appear in one or multiple updates.
