Ubisoft is doing another round of For Honor testing this week within the game’s Testing Grounds, but as the company explained in a post about this latest preview, the changes aren’t specific to one or two characters. Instead, these changes deal with the idea of Guardbreak Vulnerability, a system that’ll affect every hero. It’s no wonder then that Ubisoft described this proposed update as a “system-wide change that should have a large impact on the game as a whole” while providing some context on what, exactly will change.
- By “Immune to Guardbreak”, we mean Guardbreak attempts will bounce off the opponent and not interrupt them at all, similarly to what happens when you try to Guardbreak an attack too late during its startup
- There are some exceptions for especially slow recovery attacks such as Shaman’s Pounce, Shugoki’s hug, etc.
- When a hero regains the ability to block during a recovery, Guardbreak attempts will land, but are techable.
