Warrior's Den Recap - November 14th

Hey Warriors!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

SUN DA UNLOCKABLE FOR ALL WITH STEEL

Starting today, SUN DA is unlockable for everyone at 15,000 Steel!

SPECTATOR MODE BETA
Spectator Mode Beta launched today! With whichever console, you can now use Spectator Mode to exclusively spectate your friends! Here are the biggest updates:

  • Breach matches can now be spectated. (The controls are the still the same; Tactical Cam, Free Cam and Player Cam.)
  • Matches now start in Tactical Camera. So that you can immediately get a sense of what your team is doing, then do as you please.
  • Player selection has been improved, both for controllers and keyboard + mouse.
  • Stance Indicator is now visible when in Player Camera.
  • Spectators can watch the same player between rounds of Duel, instead of going back to the default one every round.
  • Player outlines are hidden when User Interface is hidden.
  • The size of Player information panels has been increased (when in Spectator Mode only).


Many players in the Twitch chat asked:

  • Can I spectate a player who isn’t a friend? Answer: No, you can only spectate your friends.
  • Is it possible to prevent being spectated by others? Answer: Yes, but only in custom matches. (But again, only your friends can spectate you to begin with).

CONTENT OF THE WEEK


We got new white materials for all heroes this week, available for 10k Steel.


BATTLE OF THE MIKES

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Finally the moment you've been waiting for! Who truly deserves the title of Big Mike?

Our Warrior's Den hosts wanted to try out the new heroes in an epic 1v1 matchup. The Zhanhu move gracefully across the arena, making dodges and parries a critical part of play. It seems Big Mike was no match despite dominating during practice session.

Klarissa had to step in, and while it was an extremely close match-up, she ultimately fell to Mike's blade.

Hit us up on Twitter if you want to see more Battle of the Mikes in the future!

New Soldiers: Vampire, Oni and Werewolf

You can also pick up each one separately instead of opting for the bundle, purchasable in-game with steel.

ENDLESS MARCH MAP

We worked and improved on last year’s version…then lit it on fire!



Green flaming pumpkin heads can be found throughout, as well as a huge, ominous green vortex in the sky. But don’t worry! Green fire is magical (of course), and won’t harm you if you touch it. Just be careful when crossing the bridge, as the red flames can still damage you.

SPECIAL GAME MODE: SPOOKY SLASHERS

Spooky Slashers is a variation on Dominion mode, but with huge buffs to minions. They got a big damage boost and they’re also much harder to kill, because what’s spookier than a nigh unstoppable minion?

They’re also the main way to acquire points in Spooky Splashers! 5 points for each minion you slay.

How to Dominate Minions



Minions Are Deadlier than Ever...



And nigh unstoppable!



But capturing points will give you a defensive shield bonus...



And make you stronger than ever...



So you can slay minions and collect points!


Getting the shield is key, as it has 2 effects: first, you’ll reduce damage taken by minions; and second, you’ll increase your damage output against minions. So be sure to capture!

To win, get 1,000 points to Break and Kill the enemy.

Fangs of the Otherworld is available to play for a limited time only! Jump in to reap all these epic rewards:

Fangs of the Otherworld

Starting today, Fangs of the Otherworld, For Honor’s limited-time Halloween event, is available to all players. The event features a fang-tastic new game mode, spooky Halloween-themed loot, and even more ghastly goods. Fangs of the Otherworld comes to an end on November 1, so don’t hesitate to jump in if you want in on the most hair-raising event of the year.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

The new mode, Spooky Slashers, is a variation on Dominion mode. Here, players capture zones to gain special boosts, which they can use to slay the frightening demons lurking throughout the map. Players will need to keep their wits about them, as danger lurks around every corner, and dying means losing any boosts.



Players can earn Halloween-themed loot through random drops at the end of all matches until the event ends. Loot takes the form of themed Battle Outfits, terrifying effects, and haunting weapons. Additionally, players can purchase yikes-inducing executions and jack-o’-lantern inspired effects. The Apotropaic outfit, as well as two new chilling illustrious outfits, are available for all Heroes. All event-themed loot can be unlocked for each Hero by purchasing their corresponding Fangs of the Otherworld item bundle until November 4.
