For Honor News

In 2.20.0 Patch Notes, we incorrectly communicated that Vengeful Barrier Perk duration has been reduced to 10 seconds, the correct value for this Perk duration is 15 seconds.



[h2]FEATS[/h2]

Corruption (Affects both Nuxia and Warmonger’s feats)

• Corruption is no longer triggered by having Soldiers from your team in the Area of Effect
  

Corruption Blade

• Decreased active time before going to cooldown (without hitting a target) to 15 seconds (from 20)
  
• Increased Cooldown to 75 seconds (from 60)
  

Corruption Blast

• Increased Cooldown to 180 (from 150)
  

[h2]STAMINA ADJUSTMENTS[/h2]

• Attacks performed with Light Attack input now cost 9 stamina (from 12) with the following exceptions:
  
• Combo Lights now cost 6 stamina (from 12)
  

[h3]Developer’s Comment:[/h3] Combo Lights refers to Light attacks that are guaranteed after other Light or Heavy attacks (excludes Bashes)
For example, this includes Warden's Side Light -> Light combo, Shaolin's Light -> Light -> Light combos, Shinobi’s Light -> Light combo, etc.

• Berserker's Light attack after Heavy Feints now cost 6 stamina (from 12)
  

[h3]Developer’s Comment:[/h3] Berserker’s Light attack after Heavy Feints are considered to be Combo lights, and as such should have cost 6 stamina.



[h3]Developer’s Comment:[/h3] We have adjusted the damage for multiple attacks. On average, Heavy Attacks deal less damage, and light attacks remain mostly the same, but there are some exceptions. The new damage values are closer to, but not identical, to Testing Grounds Week 2. We looked at community feedback and our own internal feedback and examined every attack in regard to its utility and properties and re-balanced their damage accordingly.

This was done to ensure that fights last a bit longer, punishes are less damaging and players have more time to anticipate what their opponents do.

We have also raised Zone Attack damage for the heroes that rely on them as their sole Guard Break punish.

Greetings, Warriors!

Last week saw the release of the Core Combat Update into For Honor. The update featured changes to indicators, damage, stamina, and various other tweaks to help encourage more offense while giving players options to deal with light spam. If you haven’t had a chance yet, be sure to share your thoughts with us over on Reddit via our CCU Feedback Megathread.

Partly in response to feedback from Early Access, a number of problematic damage values and stamina costs were addressed in yesterday’s patch. We’ll provide more details on our next steps as soon as we can!

Here’s what’s new this week in For Honor:





The Rise of the Warmonger Event Pass features a ton of new rewards to help customize your favorite even further. Be sure to continue playing to unlock yours!





Flex that galaxy brain of yours with the new 200 IQ Calculations Emote available for all existing heroes! Pick it up in the in-game store now. We calculate that no-one will be able to stop you if you demonstrate your intellect with this Emote.

If you haven’t already, join the For Honor Community on Twitter, Twitch, and Reddit.

Warriors,

Yesterday we launched the Core Combat Update (CCU), a series of changes focused on opening up dynamic offense in the game while giving players the tools to avoid spammed light attacks.

We wanted to thank our community all for the suggestions you’ve sent on Reddit, the forums, social media, streaming platforms, and our CCU Feedback thread. We also held an Early Access phase for the CCU, and the invited players gave us detailed feedback on a variety of topics including various stamina and damage values. Their feedback partially informed a patch that we’ll be pushing live on August 13th.

This patch is not the final step we’ll take to improve the CCU. We’ll continue to monitor in-game data and our channels to follow how all the changes are impacting you. Expect additional updates!

- The For Honor Team

Warriors,

The Core Combat Update is now live in For Honor! This update brings more dynamic offense, more consistency, and changes to help counter spammed light attacks. You can find more info in the video below:

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The CCU directly follows from the Testing Grounds changes that many of you tried back in March. You let us know which changes improved the game, and which parts (like damage values) needed more refinement.

Similarly, we recently held a closed Early Access phase for the Core Combat Update and were informed of potential issues which are scheduled to be fixed shortly after release including:

• Peacekeeper's Light -> Light chain is now always dodgeable
  
• Highlander's Light -> Light chain is now always dodgeable
  
• Orochi's Unblockable Top Heavy Finisher now can always feint to Guardbreak and catch back rolls
  
• Various damage and stamina changes
  

We want to thank all Early Access participants for their detailed feedback, which helped us put these adjustments in place as soon as possible!

We will keep listening and working on issues that emerge as the entire community gets to play the Core Combat Update! Please write your feedback at our dedicated Reddit thread. Our community team will be hanging out in the thread to see what you think!

Thank you, Warriors, for coming on this journey with us. Enjoy the CCU!

The Core Combat Update is a global series of improvements that affects all fighters, consisting of the following improvements:

• New system makes fight moves look consistently faster over the network:
  
• Removed the visual variability of opponent’s fight moves speeds caused by timing of the inputs

• Heavy Finishers generally are now frame advantaged (to incentivise following through with your Heavy Chain Finisher)
  

• Stamina penalties removed
  
• Now there is no extra stamina cost on Miss, Block and Parry
  

• Light Stamina Costs are now generally 12 (from 6)

[h2]ONLINE[/h2]

Developer Comments: Following the release of the Breach Improvements in Season 1 of Year 4, we saw that the Win/Loss ratios were now more even across the different maps. However, we see that the Defending teams still hold a significant advantage over the Attacking teams overall. Raising the Ram's Health bar by an additional cauldron strike will help the Attackers clear through the final Gate or allow them to have a little more breathing room in number of respawns in the Commanders Phase.
