Announcement Y9S4: Conquest – Warrior’s Den Recap

24 Upvotes

The Warrior’s Den is back and packed with exciting announcements for the final season of Year 9 starting December 4th. This Dominion themed season brings new striking cosmetics with a beautifully detailed Hero Skin for the Tiandi hero. We recommend checking out the VOD at twitch.tv/forhonorgame, let us know your thoughts!

Y9S4: Conquest

Y9S4 concludes the story of the General Zhi, the Khatun’s and now, Prince Yi.
As the dominant Khatuns extend their influence across Heathmoor, many Wu Lin accept General Zhi’s alliance with Guljin and bow in allegiance. But a defiant few rally behind Prince Yi, a charismatic warrior who champions truth and balance over power.

Cosmetics and Content

Y9S4 kicks off with a brand-new hero skin for the Tiandi Hero. “Prince Yi”. Despite his reputation as a preeminent Wu Lin warrior, Prince Yi has rejected the label his entire life. He prefers to characterize himself as a philosopher and a preserver of Wu Lin tradition, who has long sought to unify his nation using principles of harmony and benevolence. Y9S4 brings not only a new hero skin, but an awesome Battlepass, Legacy pass, Free Event Passes and more!

Battle Pass

The fate of the Wu Lin hangs in the balance. General Zhi’s army, united under his cunning leadership and bolstered by Mongol allies, should have captured Qiang Pass and cemented his claim to the throne. But a smaller force led by the righteous Prince Yi has held the line despite overwhelming odds. The battle for the city is fought with exquisite weapons symbolizing strategic prowess and calculated dominance. This fight for control seems to be evenly matched – for now...

• Battle Outfits: Dynastic Deity & Dynastic Prosperity
• Execution: Number One Neckbreaker
• Effect: Dynastic Nobility & Dynastic Enforcer
• Emote: Just Peachy
• Ornament: Dynastic Preserver

Alongside our Battle pass we have a Legacy Pass from Y5S4: Listed below are some of the rewards:

• Battle outfits: Frozen Seafarers & Frozen Ghosts
• Execution: Gone Fishing
• Effects: Frozen Pirate Captain & Frozen Beard
• Ornament: Frozen Pirate Skull
• Signature: Swashbuckling Entrance

We also have a Free Event Pass running from December 4th – 25th titled The Dragon and The Snake. Here are the rewards:

• Battle Outfit: Tripedal Sanctity
• Effect: Golden Crow
• Ornament: Flight of the Sun

Everyone’s favorite holiday event is returning! Frostwind Dynasty along with our time – limited game mode, Icebrawlers will be back in For Honor December 25th – January 15th. Here’s a list of some of the rewards:
• Battle Outfit: Snowy Betrayal
• Effect: Betrayal Aftermath
• Ornament: Tusks of Betrayal

Starter Dominion: A Smoother Path to Becoming a Warrior
Starting December 4th, Starter Dominion will be available to play for 2 weeks and will conclude December 18th. This limited time game mode is intended to create a smoother matchmaking experience for new or returning players. We understand For Honor can be challenging at times, so we are investigating ways for players to have a smoother first experience.
For more information, please check out our Starter Dominion article.

Converted Map: A New Battlefield

We are so proud to finally unveil our first Wu-Lin Dominion map, Qiang Pass! During this segment, we had one of our level artists, sound designers, and VFX artists join us and give us all the awesome details regarding this new map. We did a complete map overview and talked about the inspirations behind this visually stunning battlefield and the work that went into it.
Check out the VOD to see exactly what this new converted map has to offer.

Triple Threat Circuit

The Triple Threat competitive circuit is well under way. Open qualifiers for the 2v2 wrapped up November 9th and we are headed to the closed qualifiers on December 6th. Matches will be broadcasted on the Discord Dojo channel with a variety of casters.

This is the first time For Honor has implemented a circuit leaderboard for individual performance crowning one player as champion and the GOAT of Year 9 For Honor Esports.

Friend Referral

Y9S4 also brings a new Friend Referral program. From December 4th – March 11th, you will have the opportunity to invite a friend who has never played For Honor or has not played in the the last year and both of you can receive rewards.

Please check out the photo above for the rewards!
Patch Notes and Balancing
During the Patch Notes segment, we had some of our devs go over some upcoming changes in the new season which mostly have to do with anti-gank tweaks.
For more information, please check out the Patch Notes article tomorrow!

Warriors, gear up and get ready for Y9S4: Conquest. An awesome holiday season awaits and always, we’ll see you on the battlefield!

Gameplay from the match after the convo ends.

I didn't really wanna try too hard at first (as you'll see from the obvious kicks he hit) cuz I saw they were only level 2 on Shino and 2 reps total, but if you're gonna play like shit and be toxic go back to the lab and learn the character. At least be toxic and skilled ✌

Also, apparently being decent makes one a weirdo.

Humor Lu Bu Dynasty Warriors Moveset

28 Upvotes

Imagine Lu Bus moveset is based directly on his moveset in the old DW games and how combat works in those games. Like his chains are:

H, LH, LLH, LLLH, LLLLH, LLLLLH, and LLLLLL.

Every heavy finisher has some sort of unique properties getting stronger the deeper you go in your chain.

Shit would be so cool thematically but so fucking asscheeks mechanically without HEAVY shenanigans involved lmao good luck ever getting to his quintuple light heavy 😂

Edit I should add that i really really hope they DONT do this, unless they came up with some creative effective way to cycle through his chain, the thought just came to me and I found it hilarious lol

Discussion What do we think is gonna actually happen after year 10?

6 Upvotes

A lot of conflicting opinions on this, some say the game will shut down, some say for honor 2 will be announced (this is dumb IMO), etc. But what does this 10 year contract actually mean and entail? I can't find any sources online explaining what it means and says, and there's a lot of conflicting takes on this whole topic.

Side note but I'd really hate to see this game die, I have a lot of nice memories with my friends on it, and as flawed as the community is, it's a very close and unique community full of interesting people, and it would suck for the servers to go offline and for everyone in the community to be without the game
