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.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Nails the Magic and Weirdness of Morrowind

Poor Eoki just can't catch a break. I first saw the hapless Argonian huddling in a corner of a dirty island hut where we'd been stashed as newly captured slaves, and he followed me when I leapt into the surrounding waters in a daring escape alongside an assassin. And now, here in Sadrith Mora, hugging the eastern rim of the island of Vvardenfell, I find him in chains again. Four times he tried to escape after our escapade, and four times slavers drug him back. Now he's stuck toiling for Telvanni mages who bought him for a discount and don't give a damn for the Ebonheart Pact's ban on slavery. I offer to free him myself, but he says he's going to be all right. He knows someone, you see—a fellow Argonian slave named Sun-in-Shadow who happens to be pretty handy with magic herself. It's more than mere trust: he's smitten with her. And now Eoki's pleading with me to go help Sun-in-Shadow with whatever she needs to rise through the Telvanni ranks an...

Battlefield 5: Early Review Impressions

The Battlefield series has always been about capturing the scale of war, and Battlefield V delivers as expected. Large maps made of both open fields and narrow lanes pit players in chaotic fights to capture objectives and deplete the enemy respawn count. Different classes empower soldiers with specific capabilities that provide distinct advantages in the right situations. And of course, tanks and aircraft not only change gameplay dynamics, but can swing the tide of battle in deft hands. The initial impression is that Battlefield V revels in familiarity--this entry doesn't stray away from the franchise formula, but it's a fine execution thus far. It's been a while since the franchise set foot in World War II, but this time, it does so with lesser-known conflicts at the forefront. It's oddly refreshing to discover aspects of history that go overlooked. While we've had a steady diet of the snow-covered Narvik map prior to release, the game's collection of land...
