PATCH NOTES 2.33.1 – FOR HONOR

- Front Roll can now target swap
- Teleport Kick no longer can be accessed by holding GB (now only checks for tap input, not hold)
- Front Roll and Back Flip no longer allow stamina regeneration
- Chain links to Teleport Kick are now 66ms longer so that players can switch stance then dodge comfortably
- Attack Recoveries can now cancel to Back Flip from 200ms to 300ms (was 200ms to 400ms)
- Kick Flip miss recovery cancel to back flip chain link now is 400ms to 500ms (was 100ms to 600ms)
- Shooting Stars recovery is now 100ms longer (no longer guarantees front dodge kick when it lands)
- Flip Kick now costs 15 stamina
- Back Flip and Front Roll now cost 6 stamina
Developer's comment: Now that we’ve had Shinobi go from Testing Grounds into Live, we now make a number of nerfs to Shinobi here based on its over-performance.
Firstly, we make the Front/Side Dodge Kick punishable on Miss.
Secondly, we reduce the window of opportunity to enter Back Flip so that Shinobi is not able to notice the opponent’s action and actively react in time to Back Flip when necessary.
Thirdly, we nerf the Stamina costs of certain moves to make Shinobis slow down their combat output, and introduce moments where they need to consider if they really want to spend the stamina.
Finally, we nerf Shooting Stars so that Shinobi’s aren’t comboing it into Front Dodge Kick.
PATCH NOTES 2.33.0 – FOR HONOR
NEW HERO – PIRATE
The Pirates have developed a fighting style that is all their own by engaging with enemies from across the seas. Armed with their razor-sharp cutlass and one-of-a-kind pistol, they engage their opponents with a rush down style that can be relentless. They apply continuous pressure by mixing Pistol Blast and Heavy Attacks that Chain one after the other.
- Difficulty: Medium
- Adaptable Fighting Style
- Counter-Attacker
Special Capabilities
- Able to use Feats inside of Chains
- All Heavy Attacks, including Cavalier Dance and Walk the Plank, lead directly to your choice of Pistol Blast or Feats
- Can cancel all Attack recoveries with a Dodge
IMPROVEMENTS
- Feats now use an input buffer of up to 300ms.
Developer's comment: to improve input comfort, Feats now use the input buffer to hold your input for 300ms. This applies globally to all heroes.
Note that this does not mean you can use your Feat anytime, it just means that you don’t have to be out of your Recovery before pressing the Feat input – you can press it a bit early, and the system will hold this input until such a time as your character is allowed to launch the Feat, and do so. It should just make things a bit more comfortable.
- Improved Material coloration system to grant more color precision.
Developer's comment: Material color would not look quite right when applied on colored surfaces such as wood or leather. The coloration of chosen material would offset depending on the color of the surface it was being applied to. New material system mutes the surface colors before applying material coloration, significantly boosting color accuracy. Accurate color control also leads to possibility of new, more subtle material colors.
