The three factions in For Honor (Knights, Vikings and Samurais) are made up of heroes. These For Honor heroes are assigned a class, which makes them unique and define their abilities and key attributes in a battle.

They are well-balanced heroes and the playable characters of the For Honor campaign mode. With an impressive attack, but equally great defence, the For Honor Vanguard class are able to move swiftly, but stand their ground. The ideal characters for beginners, each Vanguard is extremely versatile in battle and can adapt to duels as well as brawls.

The class system gives players the freedom to play across factions, without restrictions to losing out on benefits some factions/heroes/classes may offer. Even across the For Honor Vanguard class, each hero has distinct advantages and disadvantages. As the game progresses, players collect loot and advance their players, also making them customisable, with a freedom of choice on gender, colour scheme and weapon aesthetics.

For Honor Kensei

The For Honor story for the Kensei, is the closest that the game gets to honourable.

With special skills including chain attacks and high heavy devastating blows, The Kensei is well adapted to the art of war.
