Im going to start this off by saying i'm a Highlander main and i got some ideas. Feel free to critique or come up with your own ideas in the comments. And if anyone knows a way we could get the Ubisoft dudes working on For Honor to see these, please work your magic.

Here is 10 executions i came up with, i have more but i decided to stop at 10.

Executions -

1 - Cruel is my sword - Long

Highlander pulls the weapon out of the target and kicks the target to the ground. They are now on their back and highlander goes for a massive over head swing. The target attempts to role out of the way but their arm gets caught by the sword and cut off. They turn back over to anguish over their arm while highlander walks up to them and plunges his sword into their chest. Pulls out sword and returns to neutral stance.

2 - The sky is the limit - Short

Highlander pulls the sword out of the target, and stabs it deep through their neck. Then turns the sword over his shoulder and catapults their head into f*cking space.

(Similar to the one he already has where he catapults them)

3 - Tribute to the Gods - Long

Highlander pulls the sword out of the target and grabs them by the shoulder using his might to push them down to their knees. He then lifts his sword above the target and impales them through the mouth all the way down to the ground. He then pauses and takes a moment of silence with his hands still on the hilt before pulling it out of them and returning to combat.

(He could either mutter a prayer or something honorable while taking the moment.)

4 - For the Oath - Medium/Long

Highlander grabs his sword by the blade and swings it directly at the enemies face which sends them flying. They roll on the ground and then attempt to crawl away. But highlander has already walked up behind them and is now above them. He swings the guard of his sword at them crushing their head and then returns to neutral stance after leaving their body.

(I imagine that the victims camera followed them as they flew and shows their bloodied and dazed face as they try to crawl away and reach for the camera.)

5 - Challenge Me? - Medium/Long

Highlander backs away from the opponent and has his sword in his right hand with the tip of the blade resting on the ground, the enemy attempts to rush at him and punch him and highlander catches their hand with his left. Highlander breaks their hand and grabs them by the back of the neck pushing them down towards the edge of his sword. Their neck getting closer as they attempt to push themselves away from the sword, resulting in their only good hand bleeding on the blade. It was to no avail as their neck makes contact with the blade and Highlander watches as they slide down it.

6 - Morrigan's Feast - Medium/Long

Highlander removes the sword and the enemy tries to walk away and ends up falling. Highlander begins walking to them in order to finish them off. However he stops as he witnesses a Crow fly to the body and look at him. He gives a silent nod and walks away as the crow starts to pick at the body and fly away.

(As many of you may or may not know, the Morrigan is a Celtic Goddess of death that could shape shift and liked to take the form of Crows. Celtic peoples would commonly leave bodies on the battlefield for a few days for the Morrigan before burying them. Seeing the crow could confirm to the Highlander that the target is indeed already dead. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a7/ce...eb136a2b2c.jpg )

7 - No escape for the weak. - Long

Highlander removes his sword, and kicks the enemy to the ground. He walks over to them and stabs his sword in their hand. They look over at it and try to tug out and it makes the sword start to slowly fall towards them. Highlander and his target both see this and the target tries to desperately crawl the other way and highlander kicks the sword making it fall on the targets neck decapitating them.

8 - Celtic Might - Short/Medium

Highlander Plunges his sword into either the targets chest or back. Highlander grabs their arms and puts his foot on the guard of his sword and starts pulling. After a few tugs, the sword becomes deeper and the arms fly off. The enemy falls back onto the ground held up by the sword. Highlander walks over and pulls the sword out of the lifeless body and returns to Neutral stance.

9 - Here me Roar - Medium

Highlander walks over to the enemy and grabs them by the Shoulder. He gets right up in their face, then utters one word.... 3 syllables......

Dun - MuH - GLAS!!! With each syllable they get lower on the ground. Each one getting increasingly louder. The final one making the enemy convulse. He lets them go as they shake to death.

10 - You fought well - Medium/Long

He pulls the sword out of the enemy and they fall to the ground. Highlander backs up. The enemy crawls to Highlander throwing up their hands for mercy. Highlander grabs their hand and kneels down. Holding their hand to his chest. He mutters a few words and stands back up and walks away as the enemy dies with recognition of their skill.

(Another version of this could be him slowly stabbing them in the neck while kneeling and holding their hand. Im not sure which one would be more merciful.)

Highlander Ideas -

I want all Highlander lines to be in an actual Celtic/Gaelic language.

I want the option to have female Highlanders. (Although, i admit its just because i enjoyed this fanart so much. https://i.pinimg.com/736x/34/63/26/3...fb11e28580.jpg) But come on. Daddy Highlander deserves a woman. He is like the most civilized of all the vikings and he is being forced to fight in a war he dont got nothing to do with.

And last but not least.(Although definitely a stretch that will never happen.)

A Highlander Faction.

Think about it, Scotland and Ireland have some pretty famous Rebellions. William Wallace comes to mind. And i personally don't like these Eastern cultures styles and new edgy characters. I've always like medieval Europe a lot more than medieval Asia.

If the Island that the Highlanders came from rebelled they could add 3-4 new Heroes and throw Highlander in there as either the Vanguard or Hybrid.

You could have a characters called -

The Druid - Hybrid- Character wielding a staff and sword. Real support feats in 4v4. (More realistic version of thishttps://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQMvGdK-KiOJaqR94jctKea0Pg3KDi7qd__GuXjDjauzr0d1L8s )

The Fianna - Vanguard - Warriors that wield a sword and shield. Looking to prove themselves in combat. ( https://www.realmofhistory.com/wp-co...8931/large.jpg Something like this.)

The Marfoir - Assassin - Characters that charge into combat only using a single sword and little armor. ( https://cdna.artstation.com/p/assets...ee5547f77f.jpg )

The Laidir - Heavy - Warrior that would be a typical strongman. Wields a slightly smaller version of Highlanders sword that allows him to attack more quickly. Lets call it a Bastard Claymore. ( https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qim...ba9d834ae.webp https://warriorexchange.files.wordpr...est.jpeg?w=680

All of them could be either gender. And most could have flowing manes of hair.

I also imagine them to be barbaric when fighting. But with more respect for Honor than the Vikings. A good cross between the Knights and the Vikings.

And our boy daddy Highlander could spearhead the rebellion.



I also want to point out that i think the developers actually don't have designs anything for a character to get cut in half ect, thats why i kept it to just the typically body parts getting destroyed.

Make sure to comment your thoughts on the executions and which ones are your favorites. I wish ubi would give us concept of every execution each season and let us vote on which ones get made.

Thank you for the read dear stranger.
