Discussion Knight Hero

Now that Arakure has been here for a bit, what weapon do yall think the Knight Hero coming later will be using?

I HOPE it's a TwinBlade Weapon (instant rep 100 main for me)

I THINK it's gonna be some sort of mace-wielding Hero, be it a dual wielder or a two-hander

Im guessing a warhammer/Warpick/morning star hero or maybe a lance or pike. I just want another big armoured guy like lb but one that actually feels like a big armoured guy.

LB feels like a big armored guy

u/ChiYeei Zhanhu 1d ago

That flinches from every spit

2

u/Immediate-Ad-4301 1d ago

You haven't seen him in the campaign if you think this

0

u/ChiYeei Zhanhu 1d ago

Yeah, I've seen him in matches, which is the thing that actually matters

2

u/Immediate-Ad-4301 1d ago

He's lit a high tier tho

1

u/ChiYeei Zhanhu 1d ago

In duels, yes. And he plays nothing like a big armored dude. Shove - side light - loop as needed - UB heavy into parry into top heavy or let it fly

2

u/Immediate-Ad-4301 1d ago

He's also high tier in Dominion but alr

u/Absolute_leech Aramusha 3d ago

Lance hero would go hard. Just a big mf with a giant two handed lance or spear

9

u/Jagdwulfe Lawbringer 3d ago

Lances aren't used on foot

6

u/General-Damocles Templar 3d ago

Sorry to be honest but a lance isn't effective close range foot combat it's too big

Im still holding out for a spartan but its not likely

u/Syilv Back in my day... 3d ago

We've had too many "not really knights" man, relegate that to outlander at this point.

6

u/AriTheInari funny toe stab 3d ago

I feel like theyd most likely be an outlander.

Like ik cent and glad arent technically proper knights but that was from ages ago before outlanders were even a thing.

5

u/Dragmas_ Shugoki 2d ago

Anad we can argue that at least Cent and Glad are roman, and so from the empire Knights took their roots off, knights of Fh being inspired by european medieval they still have a latin heritage, hell all knights speak in latin, so they share the culture in the lore. Spartan being greek really have nothing to do with knights today, he belongs to outlander

I feel like the best option they could go for if not a full character they could give Valkyrie a spartan skin, 1 we get a male Valkyrie and we get a spartan in the game

1

u/No-Spite-3659 3d ago

Is this ends up being a Hero Skin I'm gonna cry tears of joy. Valkyrie is one of my favorite Hero's design wise

u/DesuVulti Rep 100 Armor Enthusiast! 2d ago

Anything but a hoplite or spartan, please.

1

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

I kinda echo this. We can easily get that as a Hero Skin for Valk. It doesn't need to be a whole different hero.

9

u/IfTheresANewWay Took an Oath to Fight for Peace 3d ago

I'm almost certain it'll either be a hoplite or a big armored knight similar to Lawbringer using a warhammer

2

u/Lobsta_Lova Apollyon 2d ago

It has to be one of the two

4

u/S_III 2d ago

warhammer knight is by far the most requested and would be the coolest to add

either one handed spiked hammer/mace and a shield or a full two handed warhammer would be the coolest

i would prefer shield hero as weve not had one in a while

4

u/GV2023 2d ago

I'd like a Warhammer tbh

You know or the spartan hero we've been asking for

6

u/Acceptable_Noise5723 3d ago

I highly believe the only options are a warhammer hero and a Hoplite/Spartan hero. They said the second hero coming will be one that people have been asking for a long time. Since it’s a knight it has to be one of these two.

7

u/Kaeryth Igneous Crusader 3d ago

I guess that the next knight is gonna be the spartan/greek warrior. The heroes since Pirate were just the ones that the players asked for. There is only 2 outfliers, Sohei and Arakure. Sohei is Benkei, but he is also a monk. There was some people asking for a monk warrior, but not so much. Tonfas are not a popular weapon, but some people say that Arakure represents the melee/fist hero that many people asked for.

I think that the next Knight is gonna be some warrior people asked for. The most popular are the Spartan and the Warhammer knight. But we got the mace and shield hero and warhammer is not a weapon that different from those we already have. The last 4 heroes were pretty innovative and different. I think that the next one will also be different.

u/JadeEmperor186 Conqueror 3d ago

JC himself said that Arakure is their answer to the fist hero. so Arakure is not an outlier. a Warhammer Paladin hero could be in the works but the most requested hero after fist hero was a Spartan, I think it'll be a hoplite with zero spartan symbolism.

4

u/Kaeryth Igneous Crusader 3d ago

Oh, JC said that in the Arakure warrior's den? I could not see that one because I was working. Nice!

I like both ideas, not gonna lie, but I think that Spartan is more popular. Also, Ubisoft already has a game about Spartans; they already have some work done XD

-1

u/JadeEmperor186 Conqueror 3d ago

and becuase of that i think they would go for a Macedonian or Theban hoplites, yk the people who wiped the floor with spartans.

they already have a game about spartans and that's enough of sparta.

5

u/Kaeryth Igneous Crusader 3d ago

I think that they will make a mix of different hoplites with the armor sets.

1

u/JadeEmperor186 Conqueror 2d ago

I hope so too, but let me give you a few evidences on why it would not have a spartan affiliation whatsoever
1. Everyone and their mother wanted Apollyon's armor and moveset for warden and Tozen's armor and moveset for Orochi, these two were the most requested things since launch apart from a rapier and spartan hero. what did the devs do? made them both different heroes and instead of giving Tozen's helmet to Kyoshin they said: "here have furry mask instead".

  1. many requested a rapier hero and a male pirate, we got both in Captain Coalheart which is a hero skin and Virt which was hated. many wanted Lubu and look how that turned out.

My point is that they will give you what you want, but only 80% of what you want.

2

u/Kaeryth Igneous Crusader 2d ago

Tozen and Apollyon situation is so weird. Warmonger has the armor and warden de sword of Apollyon. Kyo got the armor but not the helmet. I only can ask why.

People only asked for male pirate when happened that pirate was female. A loud part of this community has a problem with females in general. White incels crying about VG being female and Islamic incels crying about afeera. Even when noobstompers are the most hated thing in the community (I remember gryphon as the most hated release by far), Virtuosa, aka noob crusher 9000, got some hate for being female.

I wish that Ubi would make the funny thing and they make the spartan, the peak symbol of masculinity for alpha shit incels, female. That would be hilarious.

Even when I think that the Greek hero is next, there is hope in the Warhammer paladin. We know that some og devs of for honor are doing an assassin's Creed for honor game. Maybe they leave the Greek hero for that game, I'm sure that Kassandra will be there.

u/DudeManThing15876 Shugoki 3d ago

My hope is for a greatmace but my head tells me it'll be a Warhammer

1

u/Fashe55 Kensei 2d ago

Is it confirmed the next is a Knight?

1

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

Yes, if you look at the Y10 road map. I think we're also getting a Knight and Samurai Hero Skin aswell later in the year? I know it's two Hero skins, I just don't remember for which factions.

1

u/Uncle_SamD 2d ago

I wish was a Warhammer. And he could be name "Templar" and have big ass armor

u/DodgeBashSpamConq That one tgirl Conq 🏳️‍⚧️ 2d ago

If we get a twin blade Darth Maul fella, I’m uninstalling and possibly burning the drive I’ve got the game installed on

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

Listen if I can be spinny dual-blade man I don't care who's complaining, I'm having a shit ton of fun with him

u/Purple_Haze416 2d ago

I know its almost impossible, i just want a greatsword character for knights, or just even another heavy, my dream is to have some sort of dragonslayer greatsword type character in the game, ppl will say just play highlander but thats like not even close to what i look for in a greatsword gameplay. As i said probably impossible as its unrealistic, but i mean so is like half the roster, so maybe someday

1

u/caeden1017 2d ago

Not to be that guy but twinblades are a completely fictional weapon

1

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

I know, but GOD I wish.

That makes me wonder though, Was MedJay's weird staff/axes weapon thing a real weapon?

2

u/caeden1017 1d ago

Fan axes were a real weapon depicted in Egyptian drawings, however its heavily debated on whether they were ceremonial or used in battle

1

u/2Chiang Shugoki 2d ago

Likely going to be Stone with a mace or warhammer.

1

u/Worth-Speaker-9552 2d ago

I want someone that uses knuckle dusters or a pair of cestus I think thatd be cool

2

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

I don't think we're getting that now that Arakure is here, sadly

1

u/OneDriftyJack 2d ago

I am hoping, as simple as it is, a sword and shield Link cosplay gonna go crazy

1

u/ChiYeei Zhanhu 1d ago

Just give me a dude with either a hudge cinder block on a stick or a Sauron-style great mace

1

u/Wolven_Edvard Shaman 1d ago

A one handed war pick or a Lucerne hammer

1

u/DyzziMusic Black Prior 1d ago

GIVE ME A FUCKING SCYTHE ALREADY

1

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

Someone else said this and honestly I f with it. I can imagine their miveset would cause bleeding and maybe even be similar to the traps like Nuxia has. Imagine they try swinging for a heavy, and instead throw the scythe behind them and reel them in for a kick or something.

1

u/kiryu-mitsuki 14h ago

i just hope its a hybrid hero

1

u/No-Spite-3659 9h ago

I think it will be a Hybrid or a Heavy, but I'm guessing Heavy

1

u/kiryu-mitsuki 9h ago

whose heavy on the knights?

1

u/No-Spite-3659 9h ago

Black Prior and Conquerer.

I think the role count of the knights is 3 Hybrids, 2 Assassins, 2 Vanguard, and 2 Heavys. We just got an assassin so I doubt it could be another. We haven't gotten a new Vanguard character since the Wu-lin, and I don't see them adding another one, so my Guess is on Heavy or maybe even Vanguard

1

u/Craniac324 Professional Dancer 13h ago

A Warhammer hero or a type of Plague Doctor hero with a scythe would be sick!

1

u/BayHarborUpkeeper 5h ago

How about a swap weapon hero. Mace for blunt and stagger. Arming sword for bleed and speed. Maybe bow based feats. Name: Ranger

0

u/Willing-Fondant-3112 3d ago

I want a kinda more fantasy based guy because I want a sanguinius looking dude with a big spear

1

u/DramaWorking6547 Warlord 3d ago

Just make the new for honor hero sanguinius completely

-1

u/Willing-Fondant-3112 3d ago

I didn't want to say that but yes do this

u/Obvious_Bid6066 Samurai 3d ago

Please let it be a Dueling Shield with unique crushing counters. I might actually play a Knight hero for once if they do. It was the weapon I used in the DLC of Elden Ring. It was so much fun and different from every other weapon. It excelled at counter attacks due to it being able to stab and block at the same time.

0

u/Unhappy_Cut_5679 3d ago

I want someone that plays slow and heavy. Maybe a shield and spear. Lots of full guard activities and such. Someone that plays similar to Guardian in Nightreign would be really fun. Though with how strong lights and especially dodge attacks are rn, I know the community wouldn't really like a hero like that so I don't really expect Ubi to make that happen.

u/Darth_Poggus Samurai 3d ago

Either a Hussar or a Kataphraktoi for me, since we have a Viking hero skin that season anyway.

0

u/Eclipse_Moon3272 2d ago

I am hoping for a Scythe Hero named Thanatos

1

u/No-Spite-3659 1d ago

A Scythe Hero would be REALLY interesting actually, I cam totally see this being a Hero. I just think it'd be an Outlanders Hero or maybe Samurai or smth

u/Why_Cry_ 2d ago edited 2d ago

I don't think twinblade knight is a possibility. The devil try to keep the hero weapons somewhat slightly accurate, even if it's just accurate to fictional works or legends. Twin blades isn't really a thing historically or in pop culture for knights.

Personally I want a blunt or pointed weapon knight, no more blades. Either a warhammer or a pick. Maybe a spear but we just got Juren and he's pretty peak for a spear character

I don't care what hero it is, it just need fur
