For Honor: The best classes at a glance

If the best classes are sought in For Honor, there are of course different opinions. In this practical tip we show you our favorites for the recently released game and cover every faction.

The peace keeper from For Honor

The peace keeper, or "Peacekeeper", belongs to the group of assassins and is at home with the knights.

• As a peacekeeper, you can perfectly ambush.
• With a perk that you get with level 1, you can delete yourself from the enemy's radar.
• This way you can ideally take points without being revealed and seen.
• You can also easily support your allies when they are in trouble in combat: you can sneak up on your opponent from behind and distract him.
• Then only a heavy attack by your ally is missing and the enemy is history.
• In addition, the peace keeper has a combo that inflicts bleeding damage that cannot be blocked by the enemy.
• This means that the enemy can die even meters away from you if he is not healed.
• All of this makes the Peacekeeper a very agile class in For Honor.
• But keep one thing in mind: The peacekeeper cannot block permanently. So you have to keep activating your defense so that it stays intact.

For Honor: Nobushi can do that

The Nobushi is the perfect supporter class in For Honor.

• As Nobushi you can not only revive very quickly, but also set up a healing standard.
• This will heal all allies around them.
• But although the Nobushi looks harmless at first, it can be very deadly with it.
• Because the Nobushi has very fast and agile attacks that can cause problems for particularly heavy opponents.
• The quick revival is especially helpful in the game mode "Dominion", because it allows you to react better and fight on.
• With a lot of practice, the Nobushi can be a very good class. Therefore, first practice in bot matches, because you first have to get used to the skills and combos.

The Viking looters in For Honor

The looter, just "Raider" in English, is the entry class of the Vikings. You will also complete the tutorial with him if you have decided on the Viking fraction.

• The looter is in itself a very easy to play class once you get used to its sluggishness.
• He is also very deadly with his attacks. His combos are unblockable and also cause AOE damage.
• You can use the looter to kill perfectly the little soldiers who are usually at point B with Dominion.
• This makes it easier for your team to take the other points.
• In addition, the looter has an enormously high range, which you can increase with the appropriate equipment.
• This allows you to grab opponents and knock down an abyss with a targeted second guard break.
• The Pillager is also a Vanguard hero. As a level 2 skill, they can inspire their allies to do more damage.
• Of course, the other two factions also each have a Vanguard hero. We liked the Viking looters the best.

The heavy classes from For Honor

In the heavy classes in For Honor, we couldn't choose a clear winner. We will therefore briefly explain what this class is in general.

• The Heavy classes include the Conqueror of the Knights, the Warlord of the Vikings, and the Shugoki of the Samurai.
• Generally speaking, you play with a heavy class the classic tank and supporter of your team.
• They can take a lot, but they can also hand them out well.
• With the appropriate level, it is even possible that you can cause damage from the block. This is because of the force of your attacks.
• Even as a Heavy, you can quickly revive your allies. That makes you an indispensable instance in the game.
• You can defend perfectly and stop multiple opponents at the same time as your team tries to take the other points.
• This allowed us to turn many a game in our favor, even though the opponents already had a lot of points.
• Every good battle plan includes at least one heavy class.
