FOR HONOR: Warlord Guide



The Warlord is the Vikings faction’s Heavy character. It’s classified as a Medium difficulty hero that’s slow and strong, excelling in counter attacks, harassment, and sustaining damage.
 The Warlord uses counter attacks and guard breaks to make up for its short attack range.


Basic Tips

üThe Warlord has 2 Attack Chains: Focused Strikes is performed by combining a Light Attack into a Heavy Attack.

üThe Hack and Slash Attack Chain is performed by using a Heavy Attack followed by a Light Attack. Be sure to mix up your guard directions between strikes to confuse your opponent.

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

üWhile Sprinting, perform a Heavy Attack to initiate a Headsplitter Leap.
üYou can also perform a Headsplitter Leap while locked onto an enemy by performing a Forward Dodge combined with a Heavy Attack.

üHold Guard Direction Down to enter Full Block Stance and automatically Block all incoming Attacks. Blocked Attacks bounce back when in this stance, but it also consumes your Stamina.

üIn Full Block Stance, perform a Heavy Attack to initiate a Board and Blade swipe.

üFrom Full Block Stance, rapidly press Guardbreak to perform an unblockable Headbutt.

Advanced Tips

üTiming your Light Attacks correctly allows you to Block and Counter incoming enemy Attacks.
üTime your Heavy Attacks correctly to trade blows with an enemy, rendering your Heavy Attacks uninterruptable.

üBe sure to utilize The Warlord’s ability to quickly enter and exit Full Block Stance to react to overly aggressive opponents. While in Full Block Stance, follow up a Block immediately with a Light Attack for a guaranteed counter Stab.

üPerform a Guardbreak after a Headspliter Leap to execute a followup Headbutt. Then follow that Headbutt with a quick Light Attack for a guaranteed counter stab.

üAfter a successful parry, quickly perform a Guardbreak to execute an enemy stunning Shield Counter. Follow that up immediately with a Light Attack for a guaranteed stab.
