Grow Into Your Main & Let Your Main Choose You - Here's Some Tips | Talking Mains 

One important thing is alway return to the "Hero Tactics" tab, cause dev team did a very good job of constantly update it every time there a change in heroes move set.

Gladiator is my main, and I just love how free he feels. He feels smooth and agile, which I like.

Wish we had more good videos like this for introducing newer players, great job man. In particular, I think if you’re looking at a new main, the best thing you can do is understand what your bread and butter mixups and tools are and remember to focus on using those. For example, Orochi’s deflects are cool, but trying super hard to learn those when you haven’t practiced using his kick/storm rush mixup or unblockable finisher is gonna lead to frustration. Focus on the most important parts of each character first and then start to experiment with other tools in their kit.

I have never seen your channel before this video was recommended, but I think your advice is accurate! I have been playing since y1 and I still main Conqueror and Valkyrie as my duo characters to switch between. They may not have the greatest fashion in the roster, but I make do. The playstyle is what spoke to me, and continues to speak to me 6 year later

I have 2k+ hrs on this game and wish I had this type vid when I started , never too late, mad informative man!

Great video mate, i already found my mains, but you explained it so well for people looking for one and trying to find what fits them ,very nice 🙏👌

What made me choose cent was the style points, just love the over the top showmanship

I didn't know you had a youtube channel. This is a great informative video

This is such a nice video!

awesome video personally I do have a main (highlander) but im aiming to have a similar level of experience in every character however unlikely that might be because of time constraints. what decides how I feel about a character though is off of if they have a unique moveset that feels different, new, and flexible to me. for example, highlander with his two stances is fun for me because in duels I can condition someone to get used to me only using one form and then when they least expect it I have the opportunity to completely shift my play style and take advantage of my opponent having to change it up along with me and deal with new variables. I thought I would really vibrate with medjay because of their similarities but so far while he's very effective his stances feel too copy paste when it comes to inputs and it feels like changing stances isn't necessary while in the middle of a fight and maybe even a detriment since it seems (with my limited playtime with him) you're more vulnerable to attacks cuz you have less time to react after switching stances. something fun ive been doing lately though has been put every hero i have (which is pretty much everybody but kyoshin and the outlanders -medjay) on a wheel and spin it before every match

I played it on launch and loved it, but stopped playing after 2 months because I felt like I tried everything already. And back in the day I used to play games, finish them and then continue. So I also wasnt into multiplayer games. But then a few weeks before Kyoshin came out I came back to the game because of the gameplay videos of Nova King. Wich is also why my first charactor was Orochi and stayed my main until his rework, he is really fun BUT way too easy to use for me since his rework. Thats why my new main is PK on rep 70 now.

I play Centurion while Sleeping, I move like Centurion, I live the Centurion, I AM Centurion

For me I started out as a Kensei. I liked Kensei because he is simple with no cheese moves… looking at you Black Prior, Berserker, etc. A friend of mine and I joined For Honor at the same time and he was a Warden main.

This video is guuuuud, I remember when I first started off and my picks/factions were everywhere, got influenced by friends towards knights abit, but the one dude I always came back to was raider, goddamit I feel like people are straying away from this but it is still a foundation of the game, what faction is your favorite, cause seriously, no matter how much I got pushed into the "deus vult" stuff, I still craved the feeling and brutality on raider, the viiiibe of a character is e s s e n t i a l, prioritize fun over "effectiveness", cause sriously, even on high lvl lobbies, a good lawbringer can still be a menace

Rep 259 now and when i picked up the game i mained lawbringer then moved on to BP and got him around rep 10-11 and thats when i realized i was a kensei main, i fell in love with that character fr. All it takes is time to find your main and playing a variety of characters

Started with Raider, then went through all the factions and came back to Vikings with Jormungandr. Vikings Rule!

I feel this video, man. I became a lawbro main for the executions and the fashion. Same reason why I became a raider main too. And after the rework I played less lawbringer and started exploring the samurai faction a bit. In my heyday I played a lot of Raider, a lot of Lawbringer, some Shugoki, and a little bit of Warden, Kensei and Aramusha. I stopped playing a few months after the Wu Lin were introduced (not having as much fun and the game takes up too much space on my hard-drive) but I've been missing the game recently and I'm going to try it out again. I might not get new mains (I won't buy the dlc), but I might fall in love with raider and lawbringer again, who knows.

Im new to for honor, i did play the beta but never played again till now so im very behind. But i fw your vid so you gotchu a new sub bro 💯

Wow what a great video man. Im new (10h) into this game and I am having this problem of not knowing who to play In terms on looks I mostly only like knights (lw, glad, cent, axe guy and conq), orochi and Ocelotl too (I'm from Mexico so he speaks deeper and louder to me in general lol) I have the bad habit of looking at tier lists and all these are low mid. I want to play what I think looks cool but I also would like to have a solid chance to win instead of shooting myself on the foot for picking a "bad" heroe.

Thanks for the advice

When i started to pkay this game back in 2017, i picked kensei and sticked to it ever since. Daimyo looking character AND uses nodachi? Sign me the hell up dawg. Now i am grinding him to 80

every character is my main

Ive player every chracter atleast once, i have atleast 10 characters i can play at will for fun, then 3 characters i can play seriously and only 1 out of the 3 i never fear to fight any character but ive also played for 3 years, you gave great advice for the newbies, just remind them they gonna ger put in a blender ... alot 😂

I’ve been playing for honor for years, although I have tried for honor when it first came out but haven’t started till just before gryphon or warmonger was introduced. Back then I was a Jourm main, but due to changes, he is not the same anymore. So now I currently main Kensei due to reliability, ease of use, and easy adaptation to enemy movements.

I've been a lawbringer main since 2017 and is the hero i feel the most comfortable with but using other heroes does make the game fresh.

When I chose my main it took me a while to settle on it. Ultimately, it was after I played a few characters, I noticed the things other players did that annoyed me, and settled on a character that countered those things more easily. The main thing was ganks and unblockable spam in ganks, so prior became my main.

What made me pick my main was actually my ancestry. I've got Scottish heritage so I started playing Highlander. It was a struggle at first because I was a noob and only used to Kensei, but now I can't imagine maining anyone else. I love being a hyperarmored menace to society lol

I've got the game 2 days ago and I've only tried 3 characters and one of those three is shugoki and he's been 90% of my playtime but you made me try a new one well for me it's 00:31 in the morning but I'll try different heroes after school just cause of you😂👍

I main Black prior, hito and gladiator. All 3 I chose because I think they look cool asf, and I started with glad but when his toe stab got nerfed originally I just didn't really enjoy playing him in 4's, also because he's an assassin. Hito and BP I feel like are just fun to play, and competitive in 4's or duels, and even though they're both pretty simple now I think you can still take their gameplay to a high level

True video. Day 1 I thought Shinobi would be my guy, couple years later I’m a rep 70 Aramusha & Shamen

Damn I’m already getting called an old head. Now that’s a first

Enjoyed this video, really positive.. good analogies. Like the vibe.

Hard agree actually about the classes. Have a different main for each type

Just to let people know if you’ve already tried everything and still don’t know take a step back and analyze yourself as a player. Do you like defense, offense, punishes, agility, speed. For me I love having very good offense which is why I settled on ocelotl, at first it was orochi bc I do love his agility and deflects are always fun but I find his fashion to be kinda lackluster since he only has like 3 good armor sets and so many people play him so most orochis look the same so I don’t play him as much anymore but every once in a while I bring him back.

Im a Lawbro main. Dude has nothing going for him. No full guard, dodge attacks, soft feints, variable times bashes, crushing counters, etc. Dude can't even chain lights. You're forced to learn how to parry and make reads. However, hearing Ad Mortem Inumicus is like a damn drug to me. Even more so if it lands. I swear in duels people know he doesn't have much but the moment they hear those words they freak out.

Year one began as Zerker fell in love w Shugo

Waitttttt i know you! I played you in the earliest seasons of the game! You were a beast back then. Wonder how you are now

I was a kensei main in samurai faction first and i absolutely hated vikings and knights. Then i discovered highlander and everything changed. Now, im a hl main in viking faction and im sure i found my place now.

I enjoyed bleach, my favourite character was shunsui Kyoraku. He wore a hat and had a pink coat over his captain attire. What made it better? His Zanpakuto was a dual wield Zanpakuto. Thus, Aramusha became my main man. He’s my favourite character even when he was the worst character in the game, when the CCU came out with Warmonger. Still my favourite

I’m a rep 51 overall, and I have 44 reps into knights and 6 in viking. Orochi has a rep cuz I used to play story and thought I’d give him a try but pvp orochi is a creature I don’t want in my arsenal

I chose Shaolin first play an never went back I want a new one tho, someone more offense oriented but agile .Been leaning afeera bc I do not like shinobi!I finally saved up the steel I dont wanna waste it

Im a lot like you ive been playing since marching fire w/breaks and i wish i could go back to when i didnt just glaze over every character. With familiarity breeds contempt

I got 57 reps into hitokiri just because I loved her reveal trailer and her lore xD

i’ve been playing since beta still don’t have a solid main same with rainbow six best part is switching it up and knowing all the charcters

I just play a character until rep 9, then I play a different character. Shaman and Gryphon was the most torturous for me. PK was pretty bad, but for some reason, not as bad as my memory serves. I remember playing Shinobi constantly back when he could throw is heavies, but not so much anymore.

i think Warmonger looks absolutely fucking sick, she gives those cool conqueror vibes and i love that

i just watched this vid cause i want to return to for honor but this time on my pc so to start all over again and choose a new main was pretty difficult for me but i think i know what my main is gonna be now tysm (i was orochi main before this btw)

Im playing 10 heroes i rly like switching between them how i feel like to play, need only the 10 the others arent fun to me im not the best maybe because im playing so many but im having so much fun :D

Holy crap your voice, I thought you were Kenzo for a second 😂

I main Afeera but literally cannot play anything else because I’m constantly thinking I’m playing Afeera…. Is there and hero that would pair well as a second character?

Rep 130 now, highest rep is my Pirate at 24, and several at 10-15, but i have at least 1 rep on everyone (except Nuxia) having 1 main from each faction is the route i went with picking my mains. BP/Jorm/Roach/Shaolin/Pirate are my 5

I would, to new players but everyone in general, suggest to try every hero and see which one you naturally flow better with. I thought I would enjoy Tiandi,but end up preferring WM's style, and even Pirate which ironically is a lot like Tiandi but I just do better with her for some reason even before her last buff. Another one is Glad, I thought I would main PK because THAT TOP TIER DRIP,but eh, didn't enjoy it. But I found winning with an oversized fork easier for me

ive been bouncing back and forth forever now and dont know who i want my main to be anymore 😭

im just getting into this game and to me gladiator black prior and afeera look cool

My struggle is less, who to play, and more which faction to fight for? It’s silly but I feel like I need to play the characters tied to my faction.

My problem is I like too many characters lol, i was a zerker main in the beta and for a long time after, then highlander and shaman (man it was funny watching people quit as soon as they saw a shaman XD) now afeera. But i also love nobushi, gryphon, warmommy, black prior, and kyoshin. Really the only character i hate to play or fight against is conqueror, they just arent fun to me in any way Edit: (also ubi PLEASE give me a samurai character with a nagamaki)

I remember when i first started playing this game i main oro for a long time then one day i found this Shaolin player that juat amazed me and after that i went to training and fell in love with his move set fast forward to today and now i have over 500 hours with him and 70 reps

I’m Mexican and I only started playing recently bc of ocelotl was added .. ngl he slaps

I found out for my enjoyment having a main actually makes it to repetitive. I started playing back when pirate was added with my friend but he exclusively played warden while i played orochi, we both quit cause repetition. I came back shortly after Ocelotls addition and played WM a bit and realized i need change for entertainment. Once i got pirate i fully understood thats what i need to do. Sadly my friend wont play again so im alone but at least i found the answer, for me.

I swear I was in a match with you on breach a few days ago 💀 I play as pinkdreama

I mained Warden for so long and as my starting hero I now have 32 reps on him, then i just stopped using him, i then used almost every hero in the roster, not really knowing who my main is, until Ocelotl came into the cards, he is amazing, aesthetically pleasing and kinda hot lol Im rep 19 with him and he's my second most repped hero, Ocelot will be my legacy hero, not Warden. and his fashion is AMAZING, did i mention i find him hot? as for my second main, im not exactly sure, im focusing on Ocelot to get to rep 70 with him

I wanna be good with nuxia but goddamn I just can’t get it together with her

Im watching this as a rep 187 because i just hit rep 80 with Cent and dont know who to play now

@misterardor my problem is im rep 50+ i have every character rep 2+ some rep 3 some rep 8. i still cant decide who i wanna main...

I been playing warmommy. Something about her steel plated thieghs just gets me

Yo I need help with this topic because I thought I was a glad main but recently I can’t win in ranked no more so like what do I do

warden looks amazing but that champ really needs something else then bash man

Ngl i just like role playing with my heros thats how i pick a main

I can only play this game on 100-120ms so I have played very on and off since beta. I still suck but my favourites are Nobu Kensei and Berserker I've tried many of the other heroes I kinda like Zanhu but not as much as these 3. I can always come back even if just a little to play them lol. I find myself getting frustrated after long hours with this game so never really played enough to get into the flow

I main conq because I like the fashion and not as many people play him

I dont know what warmonger saw in me for her to chose me...

I just can’t find a main no matter how hard I try

Kensei and ocelotl (i am mexican it was meant to be)

if you're a 1v1's guy I suggest playing on meta characters instead of playing people who u think look "cool" if u want someone to play but dont know who...go watch havoks tierlist video with Beanii. Beanii is the current #1 player eu and #1 dom player

Wdym do 2 reps?

I started with valk😫

I didn’t choose Lawbringer. Lawbringer chose me.

This game is still alive? I could’ve sworn it was dead for the last few years

'Promo SM' 🤷

I've been playing since around end of year 1 I think and all my old "mains" I barely touch them anymore. Used to be raider main, then gladiator, then kyoshin, now my Jiang jun is rep 7 but kind of picking up zhanhu at the same time. Never had one guy that I always played. I get bored of the same heroes really fast

I'm most interested in Hitokiri and Jormungandr. Can't decide between the two. How can I classify the two better?

I'm trying to decide on a main so I can stick to one character for 7+ reps and see how the game is affected once I start getting legendary gear for them. It'll take me forever to level anyone up that high if I keep bouncing around to different heroes.
