For Honor: Peacekeeper Guide

The Peacekeeper is the Knights faction’s Assassin. Classified as a character with medium difficulty to learn, the Peacekeeper’s swift and lethal attack style is supported by its incredible mobility, but at the cost of a very short range.


The Peacekeeper is the Knights faction’s Assassin. With high mobility for countering and evading enemy attacks, but a short attack range, the Peacekeeper is ideal for harassing an enemy and backing off.

Basic Tips

üWhen locked onto an enemy, match your opponent’s Guard position to block their attacks. But be careful - the Peacekeeper’s Defense is only up for a short time, so timing is key.


üThe Peacekeeper has three attack chains: The first, Twisting Blades is performed by using two consecutive Light Attacks followed by a Heavy Attack.


üThe second chain, Dervish Strikes, is performed by using a Light Attack followed by a Heavy Attack.


üFinally, Sword Dance is performed by using two consecutive Heavy Attacks. Be sure to switch up Guard directions between these attacks to confuse your opponent.


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


üWhile Sprinting, perform a Guard Break to initiate a Slipping Lunge.


üWhile locked onto an enemy, combine a Forward Dodge with a Heavy Attack to perform a surprising Dashing Thrust.


üDodge left or right combined with a Heavy Attack to counter your enemy’s attacks with a Sidestep Strike.


üSurprise your enemy by cancelling a Heavy Attack quickly after initiating it by using a Light Attack. This triggers a quick Dagger Cancel poke that applies a damage over time Bleed effect.


üAfter a Guardbreak, perform up to three Light Attacks to stab your enemy and apply a Bleed effect. Be sure to learn the timing, because if you don’t time your stabs right, your enemy automatically recovers from the Guardbreak.

Advanced Tips

üThe Peacekeeper has multiple attacks that cause a damage over time bleed effect, which when combined with her high mobility, allows you to keep enemies under pressure while you retreat to a safe range.


üPerform a Light Attack directly after hitting with a Heavy Attack for a guaranteed Dagger Combo that applies Bleed.


üDeflect incoming enemy attacks by dodging in the direction of the attack just before impact.


üPerform a Light Attack immediately after deflecting an enemy attack for a guaranteed Riposting Stab that applies a Bleed.


üCancel a Heavy Attack with a Guardbreak to fake out your opponent and set up your three*hit Bleed stab combo.


üCancel a Heavy Attack with a Dodge to fake out your opponent and escape, then connect with a Dashing Thrust or Sidestep Strike.


üPerform a Guardbreak after any stab in order to back away from your enemy. Use this to surprise your enemy, reset combat, or escape.
