So it has been revealed that For Honor will have two new classes for each faction, and two new heroes will be released in the coming seasons. And for those of us who do not yet know, it looks like the first two the will be releasing is a Centurion/Gladiator who looks like they're armed with a gladius and a small round shield. The other hero looks like a Ninja/Shinobi wielding a pair of kama sickles.

What I want to know, is what heroes do you, the players and enthusiasts of this game, want for another Hero and for which Faction. Who knows, maybe the gods of Ubisoft will hear us and actually make our wishes come true.

I'll start with what I want to see.


The Ronin

Amongst the warriors of the Dawn Empire, none are more infamous than the Ronin. Wave-men, masterless warriors who have abandoned the oaths and trappings of the samurai class, they now wonder the wilds of the world looking for new opportunities to test their skills. Ruthless and without mercy, they wield the daisho; the paired swords that once identified them as samurai with savage ferocity. While they may no longer be respected by their allies, they are greatly feared by their enemies.

Faction: Samurai.

Hero Type: Hybrid.

Overview: The wandering warriors of the wilds, the Ronin exist now to solely hone their skills and find new opponents to defeat. They are tenacious fighters, incapable of showing mercy or ever retreating. Their only connection to their past lives as samurai is the Daisho, the longsword and shortsword, which they wield with great ferocity. They are feared by the people as roving killers and despised by the samurai for abandoning their oaths of loyalty. But on the battlefield, there are few who can deny their skill, and some may even come to respect these masterless samurai for their masterful skill.

Armor: After years of living in the wild, the Ronin do not wear a complete set of armor. They have only one shoulder guard on one arm, only one gauntlet on the other. They also wear a happuri forehead protector and mempo mask, but no kabuto or neck guard. Because their mismatched armor offers little protection, the Ronin must rely more on their skill with a weapon to survive.

Weapons: The Daisho is the term for the longer Katana and the shorter wakizashi, which acts as the symbol for the warrior class. Both swords possess a razor-sharp edge and an unbreakable core, making it ideal for cutting and stabbing. Using both swords simultaneously requires tremendous skill and dexterity, otherwise the warrior will be open to attack.

Fighting Style: After fighting many duels and on various battlefields, the Ronin have developed a unique fighting style born from constant combat. Capable of constant attack and defense, they can attack with one sword while blocking with the other, or strike with both swords at the same time. Because of their light armor, they cannot take too many attack, so for the Ronin, the best defense is a constant offense.

The Destroyer.

All Vikings seek passage into Valhalla, but amongst their ranks are warrior who emulate the very gods themselves. The Destroyers, reverent followers of the god of thunder and war, and bring his devastation down on their enemies with the most destructive weapon of all: the mighty war hammer. With armor and smithing techniques stolen from the knights, the Destroyers wade into battle with no fear of harm. When the Vikings call for war, the Destroyers are everything their name implies.

Faction: Viking.

Hero Type: Heavy.

Overview: The Destroyers are devout followers of the god of thunder and war, and seek to bring his influence to their enemies. The armor they wear is made from techniques they stole from the knights, giving them maximum protection in battle. With their immense war hammers, they are capable of crushing any enemy foolish enough to stand in their way. To face a Destroyer is to tempt fate against the thunder god himself.

Weapon: War hammers have a heavy head mounted on top of a long shaft for maximum swinging power meant to break armor and smash bones. Often made with two sides, the front is meant for bludgeoning the enemy, while the spike on the back is meant to pierce armor. It has been used many times throughout history as a handheld siege weapon meant to break down doors and smash walls.

Armor: The Destroyers wear heavy platemail armor that they stole from the knights, using with great effect and as an insult against the enemies they stole it from. Most Destroyers will carve sacred runes into their armor for added protection and add notches in the belts for the enemies they've killed and the battles they have won.

Fighting style: The Destroyer are walking tanks; heavily armored with powerful strikes, they can end most foes with only a few powerful swings. However, their heavy equipment constantly drains their stamina, and their weapon can leave them open for attack and counter-attack. The best way to use them is to use the reach of their hammer, and when the enemy get close enough, use their guard-break abilities to knock the enemy to the ground and finish them off with a heavy swing.
