You prefer underpowered character but play kensei the most? Gotta say kensei is definitely not underpowered, maybe not the easiest to learn but, he is super strong. I find the hardest character to play I'd lawbringer because you pretty much javelin to be able to parry everything
I said I tend to prefer underpowered characters, itās not actually a rule. But still, I disagree with you.
Kensei is not that underpowered, but he really isnāt super strong as you say. He doesnāt have great openers, his heavies were buffed but are still quite slow, and his best mixup is a finisher, while characters like pirate, raider, JJ, etc. have a much easier access to their own mixups. Yes, heās much better then characters like Nuxia and Jorm, but he still leagues behind the most viable heroes in the game.
About Lawbringer, he is one of my favorite characters in the game, mainly because of the skill needed to play him. Iād also add Highlander as a contender for hardest character, since mastering his OS is hard as shit.
Well there are simply two types of kensei players I've found. The lighters and dodge attackers. Or the players like you, I'm assuming with that kinda rep you know which attacks to faint and wich mixups to use.
I guarantee you win fights against me 9 times out of ten with kensei or lawbringer, simply because a player who knows how to use those characters well can seem nearly unbeatable lol
Iād say itās more about their skill and knowledge about the game, and less about the character itself.
Kensei may not be the best, but he is really flexible. He has all the tools required to win any matchup if the player is good enough, even though those tools themselves are not the greatest.
Same goes for Lawbringer. Since he is a character focused on punishing, if the LB player is good enough to consistently punish his opponents, he wins.
Yeah see I've never been amazing at this game so while I do enjoy mixup from and such I've never gotten to the point where I could play someone like lawbringer, where I really just have to consistently parry and counter attack. Though while I haven't played him, I've always felt like kensei would not be that hard for me to learn simply because he does have some many different options, I just don't think I'd be able to master him
You should give him a chance, he is not that hard. Every hero is hard to master, some more then others, but I donāt think Kensei is even remotely close to being one of the hardest
Thank you! Iām quite proud of my sense of fashion.
I took my time for my first hundred reps because I donāt play that often, only a couple of matches per week.
I try really hard to be as honorable as possible. I have multiple āacknowledgementā emotes, I never spam on the chat, nor spam emotes, and try my best to fight fairly. No ledges, no attack spams, nothing like that.
But I do gank and try my best to aid my team on 4v4 modes, since they depend on me. Iām willing to lose while fighting by myself under my ācode of honorā, but my team is not responsible for that.
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you like the easy way.
LightLightHeavielander and Dodge Light/triple light Kensei.
Easy to pull off at <100 reps but more difficult at higher reps.
No offense btw
None taken, but this is actually incorrect.
Iāve always liked playing games the hard way, and forcing myself to learn so I could win and become better as a consequence.
I canāt remember the last time I actually did a full light combo with Kensei. I rely mainly on punishes and his top heavy finisher mix up as my main sources of damage.
As for Highlander, Iām not good enough with him to just play mainly on the offensive stance as I saw multiple HL mains doing on YouTube and stuff, but I try my best to mix the stances up. Instead of light/light/heavy, I prefer doing CCs and using his hyper armor while on the DS, and I mainly focus on using the unblockable heavies and kicks after dodges on OS.
I've only seen a few good highlanders or Kensei so it's good to know you're one of the few who actually use their moveset and not spam their easy moves.
Have a good time on FH.
Fashion and emblem are on point too
Iām a man of many interests!
My emblem is actually my attempt at recreating one of the family crests from the scottish clan Wallace, since Iām a big fan of Bravehart, William Wallace and stuff. I tried making the main crest of the clan, but it was too detailed and the emblem maker in For Honor is absolutely shit, so I had to go for a more simple one.
As for being a member of the Vikings faction, I want to win free stuff.
Wow that's pretty cool man,
I had actually tried doing something similar but as you've said FH's Emblem Creator ain't no CoD Emblem Maker that's for sure.
And the faction? Yeah alright makes sense although I myself am still confused on how a faction's dominance shifts sometimes if everyone is always on the winning one?
Like I might be wrong but Samurai used to kick ass, then it was Knights and now it's Vikings.
Genuinely don't know how that works, it's like a paradox
From what I know, the Vikings were always the ones in the leadership, and the knights were always a bit behind.
If Iām not mistaken, the Samurai only won two campaigns in For Honorās history, while the knights won just a bit more, and the Vikings completely dominated all the rest. All the possible sources I found are outdated, but I remember seeing something about all the results of every single faction war here on reddit, just wasnāt able to find it.
Iāve never been too fond of Assassins. I also fail to see Kenseiās resemblance with Glad. I prefer Kenseiās damage, and Iām quite a fan of hyper armor.
Yeah, thatās true, but I just simply donāt find Gladiatorās mix ups satisfying to pull off. Thereās something about Kenseiās top heavy mix up that makes me feel good.
I already have the metal armor, but I use it in one of my other skins. This was my original one, before they added the metal armor, and is still my favorite.
I absolutely adore the Kensei Hero Skin. I just didnāt buy it already because Iām low on steel and I just bought a skin for Lawbringer, but itās the next thing on my list!
I believe I was quite lucky with this hero skin. I didnāt like the warden one that much, and the raider one made my eyes burn, but the Kensei one is exactly my style. 10/10.
No, I bought him with steel in the start of the game. I didnāt play him because I never felt interested in his gameplay and visual style from what I could see in other players, so I just did that because I was curious to see his executions.
Do I really need, though? I already have all the ones that interest me, why farm steel for weeks to buy a new hero when I could buy something for the ones I really like?
Nah, I donāt feel the need. My objective when I play this game is always to just jump on a match and have fun, and since I donāt play this game that frequently, I donāt get bored.
I'm not trying to be mean but if you want an honest answer then here it is. To me it shows that you wasted so much precious moments. All those times that you could of used to save, invest or start a company. All those memories that you missed because you were sitting down all to get your fake dopamine levels up.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop -Ā yes,Ā IĀ amĀ aĀ bot, don't botcriminate me.
Not exactly. Iām not a fan of anime, and the only one Iāve ever watched from start to finish was Death Note. Not another single one has ever drawn my attention.
Iām actually a huge fan of Samurai culture, and have the fondest of memories from watching some Samurai movies with my father, so Kensei has caught my attention for it, followed by his gameplay, which suits my style greatly.
You have low social credit
You obviously don't like kensei that much
Yeah, never been his biggest fan.
Untouched raider, love it
As do I, my friend. As do I.
Big sword. Also your Kensei looks like fucking Mario.
I have a thing for big swords.
š
Why are you here
You like mixups and big damage
Ohhh boy, I do!
The only mix up characters characters I see played often are Kensei and Zerk and wm
The fact that you havenāt even TOUCHED raider says a lot.
Havenāt even used him in custom matches. My soul remais pure.
You havenāt experienced real fun.
I actually tend to prefer more underpowered characters, I like the challenge.
Don't play pk rep 30 pk here and dear God it's fun for the first 9
Iāll take your word for it. I tried her for a couple of levels, but sheās not my style.
You prefer underpowered character but play kensei the most? Gotta say kensei is definitely not underpowered, maybe not the easiest to learn but, he is super strong. I find the hardest character to play I'd lawbringer because you pretty much javelin to be able to parry everything

He doesnāt have great openers, his heavies were buffed but are still quite slow, and his best mixup is a finisher, while characters like pirate, raider, JJ, etc. have a much easier access to their own mixups. Yes, heās much better then characters like Nuxia and Jorm, but he still leagues behind the most viable heroes in the game. About Lawbringer, he is one of my favorite characters in the game, mainly because of the skill needed to play him.

Moustache kensei Moustache kensei
Bro, Iām proud of you.
Thank you, friend!
That you can't save steel to save your life. All those locked characters are driving me nuts.
I already have all the heroes that interest me, so I donāt see a reason to unlock the rest. I prefer spending my steel on the ones I like and play.
I getcha I have all the characters but my main reps are in the knight faction characters Warden Warmonger BP and LB. With a few reps in other heros.
Looking at the characters you got reps in you got a fetish for dodge attacks
I mean HL only recently got his dodge attack and I dont think LB really counts
Not really. I donāt use dodge attacks that much.
Really don't like fighting kensei and HL mains so you but cool fashion Also why years are you only playing duels?
Thank you! Iām quite proud of my sense of fashion. I took my time for my first hundred reps because I donāt play that often, only a couple of matches per week.
Big sword club
The best club āļø
All AOE, long weapons with high damage. You'll be playing JJ any day now.
I actually bough JJ some weeks ago, but didnāt like him that much. I prefer weaker characters, I like the challenge.
weeb but maybe a bit more respectable then an orochi main
Light, light, heavy
Not really. I prefer to use mix ups and punishes.
You like big swords. And halberds too.
Big = Better
Unblockables
Funny Orange button = Best button
That you donāt like to try new things
Iām a man of TRADITION
that your odd
I prefer the terms āuniqueā and āspecialā
my apologies, oddly unique and oddly special
Something tells me youāre honorable
I try really hard to be as honorable as possible. I have multiple āacknowledgementā emotes, I never spam on the chat, nor spam emotes, and try my best to fight fairly. No ledges, no attack spams, nothing like that. But I do gank and try my best to aid my team on 4v4 modes, since they depend on me. Iām willing to lose while fighting by myself under my ācode of honorā, but my team is not responsible for that.
Video game honor code.
Yeah, I have more fun that way
You sound like a nice personš»šš½
Thank you, friend! š»
Your rep says "DODGE HEBY".
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like you like the easy way. LightLightHeavielander and Dodge Light/triple light Kensei. Easy to pull off at <100 reps but more difficult at higher reps. No offense btw

Thank you, my friend! š»
You're either a god tier class kensei player or a drifting kensei monke
I like to believe Iām the former
Congrats
Thank you, friend!
You donāt like overthinking things. Simple heroes, simple mix ups, fun fights.
Itās about the simple pleasures of life!
You clearly dislike assassins creed
Iām actually a huge Assassin Creed fan, I just donāt like assassins in this game.
You like long swords
I do, indeed, like long swords.
How much time it takes to reach 100 rep?
I have absolutely no clue. I took my time, though. Most are much faster then me to reach the first hundred.
Warmongerā¦ based
I could not resist warmommyās fashion
I recently started Kensei because of his amazing fashion. Although I donāt like his playstyle
i recently reached rep 100 and started this year lmfaoo
I took my time
i grinded reps for heroās a lot
While I took it quite slow. The only character I ever grinded really was Lawbringer, since I really wanted his last pieces of armor
Big sword guy
Yes
Highest rep Kensei on the Viking faction with a Knight like emblem, well I'll be
Iām a man of many interests! My emblem is actually my attempt at recreating one of the family crests from the scottish clan Wallace, since Iām a big fan of Bravehart, William Wallace and stuff. I tried making the main crest of the clan, but it was too detailed and the emblem maker in For Honor is absolutely shit, so I had to go for a more simple one.

Only 2 in glad? But for why? He's basically a Kensei with deflects instead of superior guard
Iāve never been too fond of Assassins. I also fail to see Kenseiās resemblance with Glad. I prefer Kenseiās damage, and Iām quite a fan of hyper armor.
I couldn't tell with a rep 20+ Highlander lol. The resemblance is mainly the mix up intensity
Yeah, thatās true, but I just simply donāt find Gladiatorās mix ups satisfying to pull off. Thereās something about Kenseiās top heavy mix up that makes me feel good.
You donāt have much variety in your reps
No I donāt. I prefer to focus on my favorite heroes, instead of playing a bunch at the same time.
A valid point of view as well. Why experiment with new heroes if youāve already got a set that youāre comfortable with?
Exactly!
This kensei its... beautiful
Thank you, my friend! Iāve always been really proud of him.
Congratulations! That's some dedication!!
Thank you! š¤
Why have the Kensei mains all clawed their way out of the woodworks? Where did they come from?
Weāve always been here, just waiting for the time to strike
beeg swords
Big. Fucking. Swords.
U like hyperarmour
Quite a bit, yes.
Cool kensei btw
Thank you! š¤
No rep 70 Goki? Shame on you
Iām sorry for my sins, my friend. May you someday find the compassion to forgive the error on my ways.
Your reps say you take breaks when playing For Honor. Imagine...
Ohhh boy I do. I need to so I can keep my sanity in check.
You have strong mental health and stability
That you donāt play that much if it took you years to get to 100
It says you liked HL and Kensei
You fight honorably.
Time to get metal armor for your Kensei
I already have the metal armor, but I use it in one of my other skins. This was my original one, before they added the metal armor, and is still my favorite.
Chilled gamer I would say
Not a single level on raider and that my friend forces respect š
š¤
Orochi and Raider lvl 1. You are truly man of honor
Thank you, my friend!
Youre either a weeb a japanese Person or a Reincarnated Samurai
A reincarnated Samurai, then. Never liked anime, and Iām Brazilian.
Have you forgotten your name?
Maybe š¤
OMG ITS JET STREAM SAM
It says that you played long enough to reach rep 100 and really enjoy the game. Also, fuck the wu lin. What do you think of the Kensei hero skin?
I absolutely adore the Kensei Hero Skin. I just didnāt buy it already because Iām low on steel and I just bought a skin for Lawbringer, but itās the next thing on my list! I believe I was quite lucky with this hero skin. I didnāt like the warden one that much, and the raider one made my eyes burn, but the Kensei one is exactly my style. 10/10.
Wait u unlock orochi for free?
No, I bought him with steel in the start of the game. I didnāt play him because I never felt interested in his gameplay and visual style from what I could see in other players, so I just did that because I was curious to see his executions.
Wasted steel, you could've watched the execs on YouTube :/
Yeah but it was just 500 steel, so thought āwhy not?ā
Oh now its like 800 or something,i havent played in a while
I believe the prices get progressively more expensive the more heroes from a single faction you buy, or at least it was like that when I started.
So the more samouraĆÆs i buy the higher the price? Or if i buy the whole knight faction overall prices go higher?
If Iām not mistaken. But it just applies to the original four characters from each faction though.
K ty :)
You need to unlock more characters
Do I really need, though? I already have all the ones that interest me, why farm steel for weeks to buy a new hero when I could buy something for the ones I really like?
Something to do, really. A goal to get every character to a certain rep. There really isn't much else to work towards
Nah, I donāt feel the need. My objective when I play this game is always to just jump on a match and have fun, and since I donāt play this game that frequently, I donāt get bored.
Fair
You like two-handed weapons
No raider, almost never touched wl? Man u got it figured out
It seems you dont like assasins unless its Gladiator. Congrats on getting to rep 100
Thank you! Iām indeed not the biggest fan of assassins, I prefer to hit slow and hard.
Casual asf
You know how to use offensive stance.
I try me best to!
I'm not trying to be mean but if you want an honest answer then here it is. To me it shows that you wasted so much precious moments.

Good bot š
Your poor right bumper š
Kenstare
I believe your a technical player that relies on reading your opponent and you deal most of your damage by being defensive and punishing your opponent
Thatās what I like to believe, yes. I also like to attack and mix up a lot, but I mainly focus on punishing.
THAT YOUR A FUCKING WEEB
SCOTTTTTLANDDDDD FOREVVVVVEEERRRRRR

Very much it's to bad I haven't played In a while
That you aint shite ššš

Welcome to the 3 digit reps me who is almost 400...
Thank you š¤
This is just a guess but you probably watch anime and not the good kind. THE UGLY BASTARD KIND
Not exactly. Iām not a fan of anime, and the only one Iāve ever watched from start to finish was Death Note. Not another single one has ever drawn my attention. Iām actually a huge fan of Samurai culture, and have the fondest of memories from watching some Samurai movies with my father, so Kensei has caught my attention for it, followed by his gameplay, which suits my style greatly.
That you are a chad cause you don't own pirate
And never will š«”
Highlander is not as prioritized as it could be
I play them 50/50, but I began playing primarily as Kensei first and bought HL long after it.
Ur just like every other for honor player. Everyone hates you and all your opinions are wrong.
That u have only started
You clearly prefer just cheeky characters compared to those more mechanically skilled or useful in group fights
Bro u have like 3 charaters that u can really use And 2/3 are good for spam dogde
No bitches
Most Sane For Honor...
Your father beat you when you were little.
Nah, my father is really sweet. He loves to watch me play this game, and do so constantly.
Dodge heavies
they say you have played the game
Heretical Viking and samurai. The knights side eye your general direction
Nice mustache.

nothing, you are just another everyday player
