For Honor: Black Prior Realism Analysis pt.1 

Missed an opportunity to make a “bastard shield” joke. He has a bastard sword, which is like a mix of an arming sword and long sword, and his shield happens to be a mixture of both a kite and a heater shield. Boom, his weapons=bastards

BP doesn't need a sharp shield to cut off a limb. He/she already has enough edge.

The "Veni" emote may dull his sword but bp's so damn edgy he can do with loosing some of that edge

Ok to play devil’s advocate, I like to think the reason BP is so “edgy” is because he is supposed to be the representation of Appolyons most violent and cruel men, hence the edgy executions and look.

Can't wait for the Sacramentum Mortis set analysis, lol.

Dies Irae to Mournful Sorrow: "Mom said it's my turn on the flamberge effect"

Love the BP's "Dante's inferno" hood and crown combo

The quality of these videos you make really reflect on how much time you spend making them. I love the educational side of it with the mix of memes. Pretty much how you wish a modern day high school teacher would give their lectures. Enjoyable and you actually can learn something from it. Love your vids man, keep up the great work!

I know this is old but i wanted to comment on that wood burning part with the shield as i like to mess around with wood and make things like tables, jewelry boxes, padios, ect. See when timber is heated it can actually cause the grains of the wood to, basically, fuse together making for a stronger board. Obviously this doesn't apply to all wood as some is softer, like birch, and it may not be as strong but most hardwood can have this done to them and get basically the same result. This process also reduces the chance of the wood rooting but it is a delicate processes as if you leave it in too long you run run the risk of burning, scorching, or cracking the wood

I actually didn’t even realize that the shield cuts off an arm. I’ve just been so intrigued with the throat slit from the shield that I’ve never even noticed

you mean to tell me all that edge isnt historically accurate? also, burning wood is an okay way to keep it more or less waterproof, but that shield is burnt to the point of charring (all the spiderweb-y cracks) I am not too sure about how waterproof that would be but it sure as shit isnt structurally sound anymore

YOU NEED MORE VIEWS

What i hate about the new characters (aside from their 1-2 moveset) is that they went from types of warriors, to types of people. What i mean is, you cant *not* be an edgelord BP, but if you didnt wanna be a memelord shugo you could. If your buying BP to be a knight with a kite shield your also forced to be a 14 year old psychopath

I've been waiting for this👀

*video is about to end* *mom comes in*: "what am I hearing??"

The shield doesn't cut the arm, his egde does,

*Big sniff* Ahhh yes, this is the good stuff i've been waiting for, great work as always

I’m very surprised you didn’t say anything about the Apostate shield, since it doesn’t have any spikes or sharp edges on it. And also, The Faded Lux shield may have a spiky metal trim around its edge but at least it has some kind of ornate design in the center and leather, I assume, covering its face. Love these vids, keep up the great stuff.

Highlander: exists Dani: were probably never gone get azweihänder wielding hero

I like edgy Vortiger ironically

They really did it. They actually named a weapon set for the Black Prior after something that makes Skyrim's giant spiders look pleasant.

Imagine nitpicking about edge on a character called EVIL PRIEST

I edge to bp’s edge

16:42 “considering that we will probably never get a zweihander wielding hero” we got one lol.

Dude you are so underrated, your content is so good!

Burning/blackening was often used in constructions because wood doesn't rot and as you said its waterproof, but they were mainly used in structural purpose meaning it would be used in long logs to support the house, not as planking. It is not difficult to burn the wood correctly but it is true that it losses integrity if burn it to the core. The blackening process involves only burning the outside level to avoid rotting while preserving strength in the log. All this said it is true that it can be used in a shield but it is not practical as the shield would have to be quite very thick in order to work for a long period of time.

I may sound cheesy, but this channel is super underrated

After watching this, I feel like BP is now some sort of edge lord traveller that became an African warlord

Bp happens to be one of my favorite characters because finally a sword and shield, i also tend to like the whole dark vs light characters which i did with my warden with one black and red and one white and blue. Bp is great foe the dark but has no options for the light which sucks. Also the long executions are cool but i like the fast kill one's like the shield headchop and the erzabet slice. Shield cutting the arm is definitely much though, the speed is helpful but I'd prefer if it broke his arm, not cut it off. War should be brutal so i want broken limbs, not everything should just result in a cut.

I just like Mala Ultro Adsunt because it give both me and the enemy a close up look at both of our fashions without too much moving around

This whole time I though BP was using an arming sword

Idk if you'll ever see this but this is so cool, I've been wanting to find something like this for years I really love historical themed videos with my favorite game. Great video good sir 💪 keep up the great work

Can't wait for the complaints about the gargoyles on the armpads. The exceptional edge ruins BP as a character for me.

Wow! Great eye with the Kaskara hilt! It's always funny to see when the For Honor devs throw a historical design in among the endless slough of crossguards that look like they weigh 80 pounds. It really makes you really question what For Honor would look like if every hero had one or two armor or weapon sets taken straight out of a museum! The forsaken hilt reminds me of the Lockwood SL1009, albeit reconfigured to suit a hand-and-a-half length. Oh, and a pommel from a Talwar or something. Excited to see your take on the armor sets. If you do not share my opinion on which is the most historically possible, I will have no choice but to challenge you to a duel. Now, regarding the executions, you are correct to say that spinebreaker is really uncomfortable to watch. However, if you seriously think that Severe Sentence is a less stupid execution than Mala Ultro Adsunt, I will have no choice but to challenge you to ANOTHER duel. I'm not saying the latter is good, but that Severe Sentence may just be the single dumbest thing in the entire game. That is all. Great work as ever! Stay healthy!

Good shit as always Dani boi making this quarantine a little easier. Love your content

Instead of saying ‘longsword’, if Ubi didn’t want to say ‘bastard sword’, they could’ve just said ‘hand-and-a-half sword’

Damn I really underappreciated Erzbet's prowess, gonna buy this

16:44, that's some epic force shadowing

16:40: we're not getting a zweihander hero Ubi: I'm boutta end dis manz whole career.

Lethaea’s fate looks as if he’s posing like the giant statues in the map cathedral

8:28 yes it does effect the strenth no if you ever got a hold of charcoal you can crush it to dust in your hand (unless if it's really thick so the outer layer is burnt.)

I honestly unlocked this character because of the armor he has (like the lord helmet something like that), I want him to look like a knight and not an edgy boi but I don’t even have any of the things I want so.... Y I K E S

I like the idea that ubisoft was afraid to put the word "bastard" in the store page of a game that features decapitations

As much as bp loves his job, I now need a For Honor office show

The spikes are used for his bashes. Bp has a few shields where the corner is blade like, he literally slices and cuts with it in his executions too. He's a custom kinda guy. I bet he'd have the front of his truck decked out if he lived today Edit: I'd also like to mention, I think in for Honor the heroes might be demigods...

the funny thing is at 6:18 you can see 3 or more of his shields that don't even have spikes on them, like they WERE going to be a part of his moveset but then decided they were better off making conq's edgy step-brother instead

15:05 I thought the same back in time, but I was terribly wrong, here is a distal taper, the point is indeed thinner than the ricasso, so this is the best blade avaliable in this game for Black Prior. If the Forsaken shield had followed the Forsaken handle and blade... it would also be the best shield in the GAME, unfortunately it is bad enough to be *forsaken* from this game, unfortunately Perfuga shield is the way to go.

Favorite BP executions are Vortiger's Reckoning, Erzabet's Prowess, and Up To The Hilt.

This is also the content i subscribed for

“Medieval enthusiasts or just enthusiasts of really big fucking swords,” Hands down, best line of the series

Actually i think adding a spikes to one edge of the shield is pretty brilliat idea (not for historicall accuracy of course).Black prior has many executions where he uses them,and for me his original shield has it's best option (no fancy teeths-just nails) it would be great as a giant knuckle-duster for penetrating armor if you use a shield weight properly.

Personally, I don't really care about the historical accuracy, it's nice to have something practical, yeah, but in my opinion I really just like to make my heros my own, I love the nights faction with a few exceptions like valkyrie, kensei, and orochi but I love customizing Warmonger, Warden, and Lawbringer, it's fun and I love being able to see my absolute edgy or ornate or down right just historical looking knight charge into battle, it's not about the accuracy, it's about having fun and looking badass

Such high quality content, you really deserve more subs. Keep it up dude!!!

A note about the flamberge effect on some of BP's swords, there are actually blades like that. Called Kris that were typically used by Indonesian cultures. Similarly there's also the Kalis from Filipino culture. Those all were actually pattern welded of iron and nickel. I've actually seen a Colichemarde that is quite a bit later in date than BP is 'meant' that was similarly with a flamberge. That might've been what they were going for with that design but why it would be on a 11th-13th century knight guy, I dunno but A E S T H E T I C S.

"That thing got plans and it's not taking the warden with it" Best. Quote. Ever.

Quite the nice content here. I have a question: would half swording with the Mournful Sorrow or the Dies Irae blade be any different than with a normal one?

Let`s be honest - BP is just "Edge" crammed into a man-sized suit of armor, and given a growly voice and a snarling face. :D

Yeah this is cute and all but nobody noticed how peacekeeper holds warden’s sword with one hand

Fun fact the fate signature matches the pose for the statue on citedale gate so close helm bp confirmed

I am very pleased to have come across your channel, i hope you have alot more content to come :)

Dude the Muirgheilt blade was like, the second blade I got. You should use more scavenger crates

BP is a time traveller confirmed Using a 16th century hilt

Damn good stuff man, you definitely deserve more views and subscribes, or maybe you're not EDGY enough !

The muirgheilt blade is something more remenisant of (if my memory doesent fool me) dipping a damascus blade in acid thats why there is that pattern, now the acid is not a strong acid, as its only perpouse is to draw out that pattern

Imagine getting a hero with a Flamberge/Zweihander/Longsword.

Roman scratched his head every day, until he *didn’t* *INSEPTION BUOM*

this is literally a better version of that one channel that guesses which hero would win againts what

Just remember veni is one of the best enotes for vortiger for emotespam

I cannot be the only person to think the base sword was a kaskara.

The only reason to pick up the Mala Ultro Adsunt execution is because it ledges

I've been looking forward to this!

In all fairness, I think the comparison with Warden as a longsword user also is a little... I mean, that hunk of Iron that Warden is swinging around is technically more of a greatsword, but with questionable dimensions. It's already a lot bigger than a typical longsword, especially if we consider that Warden is pretty tall himself. It seems like it would come from maybe the late 15th century when longswords started turning into Greatswords, still lacking the characteristically longer handle and the often quite wide guard whilst also being just a little bit too thick. But again, for a longsword it is already too long in my opinion, when he puts the tip on the ground he has the pommel pretty much at shoulder level when it should be on chest level.

Lmfao I'm so glad you made fun of that Erzabet thing because I was reading the FH wiki the other day and then I got to the Prior and saw that I legit had a field day with that.

I want to see your reaction to viking executions

Never get a zweihander hero Warmonger

if you slapped that Muirgheilt Sword into any Southeast Asian warrior or soldier from around 11th to 15th or even late 19th century it would still be historical, more than if you put it into any European knight/soldier from the same era

16:44 but we did get a hero with a sweihander sword (if i'm writing it right)

I was confused on why I had a back thought that he was some sort of knight from Africa

Only true viewers saw the end of the vid;)

I love how everytime one of these videos is made, the author always fails to realize that in the world of For Honor 1000 years of progress haulting war have gone by, warriors from different eras of history co exist, so it stands to reason that they adopt the weapons and armor from one another, they no longer have to be historically acurate because they have their own unique historical timeline

I don't mean to bring up a topic of an old video (also someone may have already brought this up) but Lethaea's Fate came out during the Truce of Wyverndale, aka the time they stopped fighting and truly mourned their dead so it's understandable that it seems like a funeral effigy. and if you add the fact the Black Priors are all about death... kinda understandable... right?

imagine spaming veni..... until your whole blade is gone

25:14 “centurion has one where he- hits things” Well said

Players: NOOOOO YIU CAN'T BR EDGY YOURE A WARRIOR AND THIS IS WAR NOOO!!!1! Bp: Hehe big shield go Ad profundis

I learned that runescape kiteshields are in fact heat

My eyes got weird by looking at the first shield, when the shield was turning I saw the shield inside out that fricked me out

I'm not a historical expert in the slightest despite it being my favorite subject to learn about, but would Hand-and-a-half sword still work in place of bastard sword? It seems better than calling it a long sword and the idea that Ubisoft wouldn't put bastard in promotional work makes a lot of sense.

I wish the "slowly and surely" wasn't so slow and edgy. I love the shield parry at the beginning but it's to slow for my liking.

How do i give you money?

The hooks are called "Parier Haken" in german. :D

So your saying if I use the forsaken blade I'll have better frame data... *Shield bashes

Man I wanted to go off for you trashing Mala Ultro Adsunt but then you just had to be the bigger man and apologize 😔

So...how do you feel about For Honor now, looking back at 16:44?

i think the statue signature was intentional. thats the same vibe i got off it as well

How to destroy your bastard sword? Emote spam "Veni"

I try to avoid all edgy BP cosmetics and all that, but something in me really likes that Slowly but Surely emote. Maybe a LITTLE edge is ok...

I think the decrepit hilt might also be based off of a later type of Byzantine spathion.

You know its year of hope, the hope to get non edgy stuff from black prior :/

I would lovve ubisoft to make only one set armor/weapons by character who are realistic... damn i would love it

I personally love angry BP especially since i am using him for a mock up of a character i made who is a very angry man. So its perfect
