For Honor's Deadliest Warrior 

shugoki would die from a heart attack before the enemy even hits them.

All the old trailers really just make me miss the minion killing animations

What's cool with the conqueror, they also use their shield to block the flail in executions. They always move the shield to block the head from hitting themselves

The cursed conqwarden will never cease to bewilder me

Even before watching I assumed the top 3 would be Lawbringer Warmonger and Pirate, And I agree with each spot. Pirate is number 3 cuz shes got *A Gun.* Meanwhile Warmommy and Lawdaddy both have the greatest armor in the game, with fuckin' chainmail underneath. But, even though I main Warmommy, I still believed Lawbringer would come out on top due to his weapons versatility. Its a spear and an axe in 1, it even has a tip on the bottom, so he can poke you whilst charging up an axe swing lol. I love the Zweihander(and claw gauntlet) but that Poleaxe is insane. ... Great video Raven.

I wish deadliest warrior came back as a non scripted show, also if they revamped the games as anew.

Im gonna guess lawbringer because armor and poleaxe, maybe the varangian guard but probably not

When i saw the Lawbringer Trailer for first the time 7 years ago, i promised myself i gonna cosplay myself as Lawbringer one day, then last year on December at Comic Con Germany i Finally done it! Worth it

Every time I see a kyoshin in kaze stance I picture that one bit in Indiana Jones where the guys swinging a sword around and Indie just shoots him

You forget to mention that Lawbringer is also a freaking giant.

As a Certain jedi once said "The stongest defense is a swift and decisive Offense"

Nobushi is probably hit the hardest by the "default gear only" rule. She goes from almost nothing to one of the most well-armored characters in the game.

Medjay just needed either a pair of Kopesh or a kopesh and a tall egyptian shield and I would adore him as a character.

I thought this was really solid and really well done. I enjoyed that you used realism with the historical take. This was very well thought out. You and Lark did fantastic work raven🙂

I would argue varangian should be under warden and arguably under black prior. Maybe if she had a one handed axe I could agree but with the axe she has it only acts as a problem for her.

I wonder how the list might change considering feats and lore and such, like lawbringer having 4 bombs, shaolin being able to teleport, jorm being able to smash the ground to make a shockwave etc. Ik he said it's not considered, but it's still interesting to think about. But i guess by that logic ocelotl wins as he can always resurrect

My prediction is Lawbringer. Big range, big guy, big armor. Edit: oh maybe Pirate, if the pistols work/ are strong enough

this vid was amazing raven keep the great work

Only issue i have with this. Every single hero has martial skill. Matrial skill is just knowing how to properly fight. Just because the heros are chinese and and utlizes showy chinese martial arts (which, i want to say, its been shown that traditional chinese martial arts are showy but not effective in a real fight). I do wish you atleast took into consideration real world fights as tiandi would just get stabbed when he tried to dodge and turn his back. Hed do some flashy dodge and shamen would tackle him and shank him over and over again.

Never watched this series and still i guessed that lawbringer would win. This was great fun to watch so just keep the good work up.

Typical Raven Knight coming in with some amazing content once again. Great video dude

Enjoyed the list! Keep it up!

Conqueror should honestly be way higher than that. He has arguably the best defense of the whole cast with full plate armor AND a shield. His weapon may not be the easiest to use, have the longest range or be the most versatile but it is effective against non armored and armored opponents. He can probably close the gap with an opponent with the defense his shield gives him. He got ranked so low because of his weapon but I don't think it is such a major issue. His defensive capabilities clearly outweigh any potential problem his weapon may have.

Great video Raven.

I'd definitely put Shugoki's ranking below Varangian, simply because that shield can deflect a swing, and because of how clumsy such a weapon is, leave him open. Lot of his kit can just be nullified with a shield, which means I'd consider placing him even below Prior.

As a Lawbringer, I see this as an absolute win

My guess is either lawbringer or someone like the Varangian guard. I hope my pride and joy of Ocelotl is too low on the list

Something that wasn't covered that I kinda wish was taken into effect is the "extra" weapons that, yes they don't actually utilize in game, are on their default outfits. Example is Shaman's shield, Kensal Dagger, Etc. Something that could have changed these slightly though I also understand why they were ignored.

I am pleased the three characters i hate fighting the most were on the bottom 10/10

LOVE IT

If "one" of the chain links on that flail breaks then you're just left holding a stick! And not even a good stick... -Lucifer Morningstar

Love those Rankings mate! I figured Lawbringer would come out on top considering his vey effective armor and Weapon. Maybe do a Deadliest Warrior but for the For Honor characters you create?

I bet Medjay's staff thingy has some twist lock mechanism or something They stick the axes together tight then twist to lock it into place in a little hook thing inside, then to detach they'll push it inwards to unhook it, twist it and pull it apart to go back to axe mode.

I would have put Shugoki under warden because when looking at his default armor he is exposed on the side. Other than that, I really agree with how they were placed

I agree with your desision on goki. His weapon is by far one of the if not the most devestating of all karakters. There is very little armor that could take hit from that club and not get dented in to some degree. At that size of club body blows also become deadly cause you are breaking ribs if you get hit.

Man that old For Honor music brings weird feelings dunnit

I wonderif this list would be affected based on some of the characters other armor sets. I think some of Nobus other armors are way better for protection than what she has by default. But I suppose thats why you’re using the default set. Love the content Raven :D

One of conq counter points IS that the flail IS supussed to be a on Horse weapon

I think a good idea is getting the best armor you think is best and see if the chart changes

i will definitely argue that medjay would be more effective in a battlefield rather than kyoshin.

Hey Raven, do you plan on making a video on the final of Maddox and Katla? Imo, it's way too cookier cutter the good guys come in beat up the badguys, and all is well. How would you have written it?

Aranusha an pk weapon choice really shine on a civil duel context were armor IS not really an issue and de dual weapons can open a lot of oportunities

By the way raven I have a question between Disney villains and Dreamworks villains who do you prefer (Personally I lean more towards Dreamworks I feel like more of their villains are better written than Disney)

Hey Raven, I know you’re probably a little more versed in history. But have you considered agility like how well they could move in their armor?

So, I need to ask. Is black prior's not counted as a tower shield do to it's sheer size? the varangian guard looks more like a proper kite shield than BP's shield, but I don't know mideval weaponry like you

Good to be #7 in the list black prior is my favorite though the Varangian is starting to earn my left hand side

I d say you did put the Kensei, Orochi and may be Shoguki pretty high seeing they use wood armors. Did you take this into account ? I don't know how solid those kind of armors are really but I d' say Orochi should be 18th if not 19th in this regard, Kensei behind highlander or atleast tiandi. Shugoki is thick thougth so i d say he could be 7th or stay 4th it would'nt bother me any way. And i think Shaolin should go up above shaman cause of the reach advantage is massive and just one solid hit anywhere on the head or the limbs, even if not lethal would put at disadvantage unprotected heros from Ocelotl to Shaman, may be even Aramush, for the rest of the fight. Cool video noneless ! You got a new subscriber ~~

I really think Kyoshin would win vs Shaman. A diciplined swordsman vs a shroomhead, he has the range advantage. While yes the axe and knife combo is something we hear about in sagas they're usually shown as the weaker/desperate option and dirty tricks would have to be used to achive victory (throwing the knife at someones toes f.eks)

Bro think about your EU fans as well, the premier starts at 11PM for me, I have to get up early tmrw😭

id has to be HAS TO BE LB at the top: he is the only one who has both full plate armor and a weapon that can easily defeat full plate, most other heroes have one or the other (some have neither), easy choice

I think Valkyrie and Warlord should be put lower because their armor is leather and not metal

I don't want to sound rude , but Goki has also more body muscle and body fat than most of the other heroes. Which means that, even of you manage to hit the armor, there is also an extra biological layer of protection to bones and organs.

Do I like that Warden got ranked 3 ranks lower than last time? No But the 3 that stood in his way absolutely make sense The Varangian Guard’s shield is inferior to Black Prior’s no doubt, but the axe was well explained in how it was superior to BP’s sword. Bludgeoning weapons are simply superior to slashing weapons, and her armour is gonna be more effective than BP’s I will also say that another thing going for Shugoki that you didn’t mention is his body That is a LOT of fat and muscle, that CAN cushion a potentially fatal blow Like, a deep cut into Shugoki’s stomach will still be a deep cut, but with so much fat and muscle, PLUS semi decent armour over top, I’d say about the only thing that COULD get through would be Hitokiri’s axe or a stab from Warden’s sword, and even then, they’d still probably lose to Shugoki due to their body types and inability to properly defend or brace themselves for a bludgeoning attack, ESPECIALLY when that bludgeoning attack is coming from a KANABO There are advantages to be found in a round body type I also agree that Pirate is above Shugoki because of her pistol, but I’ll also add that she does need to close the distance or be a REALLY good shot for that pistol to be worthwhile Because flintlock pistols, are NOTORIOUS for how inaccurate and almost unreliable they are For one thing, if the powder gets wet, that thing is fucking useless, the second gunpowder gets wet, it can be ignited and the pistol can’t fire a shot, also (I looked this up as I was typing the comment so if a fire arms expert can correct me if I’m wrong, feel free) the shorter barrel and distance between the barrel and the little ball they fired meant that there wasn’t much keeping the shot from going STRAIGHT TO ITS TARGET Obviously if you’re in close range it won’t be a major issue But if we had a 20-30 metre shootout between Pirate’s flintlock pistol and Nobushi’s bow and arrows, I think I’d place my money on Nobushi, because no way in hell would I give that to Pirate

Man I wish for the next update Raven goes best armor possible. I think that would be bonkers.

But the speed! The deadly shinobi speed! The Yellow Flash would like a word

When the armors look alot better in the trailer than in the game, looking at the Warden and Warlord. Wardens chest by default even with one show case of it in the trailer is freaking ugly.

While I do love the list, I will live and die on the hill that Lawbringer and Varangian guard are (equally) the deadliest of all FH warriors

I think Warden would go higher than VG, as he does have reach. Warden has better armor, but VG has a defensive weapons. So for me it’s 50/50.

Don’t mess with the law

Lawbringer is the male warmonger.

I guessed lawbringer was gonna be in the top 5 did not think he'd be N1 still i agree with all of this

Lawbringer will always win. Full plate long range versatile. In game, not so much

can't wait for viking, samurai, chinese and mercenary mains to start shouting knight bias

Still waiting for Lawbringer buff ingame

My boy Shugi making Top 5 ❤

Im surprised that Gladiator was that far up the list

Currently at 12, I swear if pirate is #1 because of the pistol Im gonna lose it

For me I think shugokki should have been near kensei or warden. He should not be in the top five because strength alone won’t protect him. Lack of armor against weapons like swords and guns are something skin and bones won’t protect you from. However I do think he should be above kensei cause his weapon has similar reach and good against armor.

Who was the winner of the last time he did this episode? Don't really wanna watch the whole thing to find out

I approve of this list. Lawdaddy on Top

Ooooof. . .he put my boi ocelotl so low. . .but he has the facts to back it up so its fine also i thought pirate woild be the deadliest because. . .well gun go brrrrr

Pirate pulling the 2nd amendment to all the other fighters to get the 3rd place

Gryphon is the strongest because his mongol version brings the plague with his pet rats!!!! 🐎🐎🐎🏹🏹🏹

Wait, that was three years ago? Nope, it can’t have been that long ago. Lol Also, gosh dang do I wish Deadliest Warrior made a comeback.

Let's go LB

Wouldn't the pirate be objectively be the deadliest? It's the only character with a gun...

Now the Devs need to make a new Outlander that has a Musket with a bayonet attached to knock the Lawbringer from the top spot. Since Pirate wiped 31 warriors with a pistol 😏👏👏👏

Yes lawdaddy and war mommy win

Crazy how Lawbringer #1 but in game he's one of the worst heroes

I am watching and just asking myself how sharman is getting so high

Hold on hold on hold on….I had to pause at 6:45. Did you just say that the stick is not a deadly weapon? Shadiversity wants to know your location lol (Fr tho I get it, in a landscape of heroes with helmets it becomes rather moot. Just needed to channel my inner MACHICOLATIONS!!)

Pin if you want Afeera face reveal.

Yooooooo

Great video, but I have to add one thing. The staff Shaolin uses looks like a European quarterstaff, and this weapon is certainly deadly. Suffice it to say that with correct technique and use of the hips you can easily crush bones. Additionally, the For Honor version has metal ends, which would probably allow it to deal serious damage even through armor. I will even go one step further and say Shaolin weapon is one of the better ones in game. All thanks to momentum this weapon create, thanks to momentum a lot weapons like swords cant even block strikes and have extremely hard time to parry. All that witch 1 inch thic and 5-6 ft long piece of wood.

@RavenKnightYT Ok, I have to strongly disagree with one of your choices in this list, for a couple reasons: Pirate. Boasting next to no armour and a falchion as her primary weapon should put Pirate far lower on the list, somewhere in the 20s imo. However, if you’re going to bring her pistol into the equation then Pirate automatically wins the number one slot. Flintlock pistols fire a musket ball that commonly ranges from .50 to .70 caliber when compared to modern rounds. This means that an opponent’s armour would have to a) be steel, and b) be several inches thick in order to stop the ball fired from Pirate’s pistol. No historic armour possesses this trait as the weight of the armour would make it useless. There are even more contemporary real-world examples of this being attempted - such as the last stand of the Australian outlaw Ned Kelly and his gang in the 1880s who fitted themselves with armour fashioned from derelict plows; the steel of which being about 2-3 inches thick. These were defeated by Henry repeaters firing .44 caliber rounds, albeit with more velocity than a flintlock musket ball, but with less energy transfer. Medieval armour would stand 0 chance against either. There’s a reason that armour became phased out with the invention of the gun. Therefore Pirate imo must either be number 1 if you acknowledge the gun, or somewhere in the low to mid 20s if you ignore it. ​​⁠

Wait what? Shikoki at 4th but yet yorm is one of the first to die? The argument you use for Shiko is the same that can be said for yorm just less armor. Other than that good vid

I find it funny how the number one duel hero in the game right now is at the bottom of the list

In my opinion Warden should be placed a little lower (he's similar to Kensei, maybe with better armor), while Aramusha should be a little higher (dual wielded swords allow for great defence and offence, as you can parry and stab/slash at the same time).

Deadliest Warrior? Fr? Chivalry and For Honor are doing a collab?

I don't think the drugs will help the berserker, won't help the berserker when he starts swinging at the pink elephants in his head or sees three of every person. And even with his rage a spear through the chest or an arrow through the neck is still gonna put him down

Why is everything based on being punched in the face and punching the other guy harder there's more to warriors than just armor or hacking. speed, stratergy and adaptability are lacking in this analysis these sound like total war units than actual 1v1 lol

ok....I agree with the top three to an extent, hear me out, while yes lawbringer has vastly superior armour compared to everyone else I feel like it would be extremly heavy Irl, and wear down the user, SO tecnically warmonger would be superior with lighter but still defensive armour, and devestating weapons at her disposal. HOWEVER Since we are not taking armour waight into this comparison.....despite me loving warmommy lawdaddy would come out on top with a more versatile and dangerous weapon if we dont take that massive armour into comparison, also something I so happened to think whyle typing all this is that with hitoroki he would be used to swinging that axe and yes he has lighter armour it allows him to put more waight to his blows and deal more damage, however his spot still stands in my opinion beacuse yes even though he is used to it it can still wear him down. But good ratings I think

Putting a guy who doesn’t even have a helmet at #4 is some clown hours shit.

The number of characters in this game shinobi could one shot from range and retreat like og shinobi is probably 75% of the cast but sure bottom tier

I put this in 1.5 lol yapperton

In, my opinion and experience the vikings, save Varangian guard should be lower, none of them boast meaningful armor save a helmet or shield, Valkyrie would be higher than the rest carrying a few iron plates near joints with a full helmet, moving on dane axes are not heavy, they were not meant to be weapons of war but of dismantling things like bridges or ballistae, even some of the inner workings of ram heads. Next on the list Pirate is either 1st or low 20s, a .40 - .70 caliber musket ball is going through anything depicted and historical. Using the idea presented with Raider, a flat out lack of armor save a damaged half helmet is going to do nothing, you said oh but offense taking this into account following my earlier statement Nobushi should be higher, boasting the longest range in the roster with two layers of reinforced leather on the chest and a bamboo and wool mask, followed by steel plates near a few joints. Moving onward Conqueror, carrying platemail and chainmail with a kite shield and flail, a weapon designed as a pure counter defense, would be one of the most lethal, Conquerors in game were also convicts forcefully conscripted to fight, the only chance they had of not being put under the axe was to fight, and kill. Nuxia needs to be lower, having a ceremonial weapon and lacking in armor is an issue. Black Prior, carrying full steel plate mail(minus a helmet), and a steel crown preventing downward strikes from any side to the head unless its one the of the following: a flail, a mace, a hooked edge axe, a blunt only style weapon(Jorm, shaolin, ETC.), A solid form large variant kite shield and an arming sword a little longer than traditional would place him ahead of most the Wu lin, Vikings, Knights, and Samurai. Shugoki has a mask of equal durability to nobushi being the same thing, bamboo with metal edges and spike near the center with not under lying protection and many exposed areas leave him lethally vulnerable to piercing making him significantly lower. However I agree with the placements of 34 to 25, I also agree with Gladiator, Lawbringer(ignoring the broken idea of bringing a gun to a knife fight), Orochi, and Gryphon. My last complaint falls in with my main and greatest lead in historical knowledge Centurion, They were palace guards and lethal generals, sitting only behind the Primus Pilus, Praetor, and Impraetor, the Gladius is a piercing weapon as was standard in the roman army and was also a fallback in the event the normal spear and shield was lost, the pugio feat weapon was the legionnaires official fallback weapon. The Gladius is a partially blunted tip meant to pierce armor, they also weight in between 4 and 10 pounds for a good four foot blade that can be heavy meaning it carries it's weight, both the weapon and armor would be made of bronze making them stronger than iron due to the alloy's nature, Bronze also doesn't bend anywhere near as quickly as steel or iron meaning most blunt weapons used would be useless. It also requires less maintenance as it doesn't rust(not important just a fun fact).

I’m a pole arm fanboy so many of the placements irk me. Nevertheless good job 👍

Why are you not counting there physical strength into factor instead of comparing yourself to them

LOL what is the medieval in ancient warriors had superhuman strength and feels FOR HONOR 😂

am i the only one who ever sees people just shit on the flail, don't get me wrong the flail isn't the best weapon a weapon that could just as well hurt you isnt very advantages, but its by no means as useless as many people keep saying it it
