FOR HONOR: Kensei Guide




The Kensei is the Vanguard class hero of the Samurai faction. It’s classified as an easy to learn character that’s balanced and simple, with long range but slow overall movement. 

The Kensei has good range against most classes, but slower actions as well. A lot of the Kensei’s advanced Strategies revolve around its quick step attack forward, and its signature Top Heavy unblockable Attack Chain finisher.

Basic Tips

üThe Kensei has 4 Attack Chains:

üDawn of the Steel Sun: three consecutive light Attacks.

üSpirit of Inevitability: two consecutive Light Attacks, and finished with a Heavy Attack.

üForm of the Dragon: Light Attack, followed by two consecutive Heavy Attacks.

üDoom of the Kensei: three consecutive Heavy Attacks. Be sure to switch Guard directions between swings to confuse your enemy.

üA signature of the Kensei is the ability to finish any chain with a Top Heavy Attack to perform an Unblockable Attack.

üWhen surrounded, press Light Attack and Heavy Attack simultaneously to perform a Zone Attack.

üWhile Sprinting, perform a Heavy Attack to initiate a Rushing Sweep.

üDodge forward and perform a Light Attack to perform a quick Helm Splitter.

üDodge left or right and perform a Light Attack to execute a Swift Strike.

Advanced Tips

üAfter a quick Helm Splitter (performed by dashing forward with a Light Attack), follow it up with the second hit of a chain, initiating the rest of the Chain Attack.

üYou can also follow up a Guard Break with the second hit of any Chain Attack.

üAfter throwing your opponent, follow it up with a Chain Finisher, like the unblockable Top Heavy Attack.

üPerform a Guard Break during a Dash Forward to guard break from a long range.

üDuring the unblockable Top Heavy Finisher, switch Guard directions and Attack to cancel into another Finisher. This is an excellent way to catch opponents that try to side dodge the vertical unblockable finisher.

Fortnite: Challenges Are About To Get Much More Manageable

For Season 4 Battle Pass owners, Tuesdays are an exciting day in Fortnite. A new set of weekly challenges is released, and although you have the full season to complete them, players are eager to get them done and earn new rewards. That process is about to become a more pleasant one, thanks to one of several new quality-of-life changes coming soon. Epic Games has outlined many of the new features and changes that are slated for update 4.3 and beyond. One thing that is coming in 4.3 is challenge progress notifications. As you accomplish your objectives, a message will pop up during matches to let you know where you stand toward finishing a given challenge. Currently, you can only check on how you're doing with challenges in between matches from the main menu. You can also take mental notes (or physical ones, if you really want to get wild), but that becomes difficult when a bunch of challenges pile up. Was I supposed to get Eliminations in Tomato Tow...

Fortnite: New Close Encounters Mode Is Now Live After Being Disabled

Fortnite's latest limited-time mode has been temporarily postponed. Shortly after the Close Encounters event began, Epic Games announced on Twitter that an issue had been discovered and the mode was being disabled across all platforms--PS4, Xbox One, PC, and iOS--while the developer investigated it.  Close Encounters was slated to be the second new limited-time mode in Fortnite: Battle Royale this week, following on the heels of Solid Gold v2, which began with the release of the 4.2 content update. In contrast to Solid Gold, Close Encounters mode focuses on "close quarters combat" and only features shotguns and the newly added jetpacks. Epic hasn't provided any further details on the unspecified issue it discovered in Close Encounters, only noting that the mode has been taken out of the rotation while it works to address the problem. Likewise, the developer didn't announce a time frame for when Close Encounters will return in the game. In the meantime, ...
