Addressing Light Spam

Hello Warriors!

Thank you for participating and sharing your feedback for the live Testing Grounds.

Several changes have been made in the Testing Grounds to address Light Spam, particularly among Console players, and we wanted to further elaborate on how to effectively counter this.
TheFilthySpaniard, a well-known For Honor Community member, created a great quick video that clearly explains how these changes affect gameplay. We strongly encourage you to watch the video below and see for yourself!

As you can see in this video:

  • In the Live game, after an opponent has finished his chain of Light attacks, they can then restart their Light chain again before you can act. In the Testing Grounds, if you throw your Light attack as early as possible your attack will land before theirs can, allowing you to continue your own offense.
  • In the Live game, Orochi and Nuxia can perform their Light Chain attacks, and it is impossible to dodge the 2nd or 3rd Light. In the Testing Grounds, you can now dodge these mid-chain Lights and counter attack.
    Note: Depending on your feedback, we may look into deploying this change to other characters as well.

We appreciate all the feedback you have been providing us. Please continue to let us know your thoughts on Testing Grounds.

The feedback survey is open to all players, including those who have already completed it once.

Thank you Warriors! See you on the battlefield!
