Year 5 Season 1 New "Clean" Armor Review 

GO VOTE IN THE POLL: ru-vid.comUgxHKSxYPGHoI5xGsJd4AaABCQ Also, if you haven't yet, go watch Highlander's Armor analysis video I did: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BdXtqtsY2-8.html Here are some timestamps: 0:30 Disclaimers 2:48 Warden 3:24 Peacekeeper 4:06 Centurion 5:12 Gladiator 5:35 Black Prior 6:25 Warmonger 6:52 Lawbringer 7:05 Conqueror 7:45 Raider 8:55 Berserker 9:13 Highlander 10:17 Shaman 10:35 Jörmungandr 11:01 Warlord 11:18 Valkyrie 11:43 Kensei 12:30 Orochi 12:54 Shinobi 13:23 Aramusha 13:57 Hitokiri 14:17 Nobushi 14:38 Shugoki 14:47 Tiandi 15:28 Shaolin 15:54 Nuxia 16:09 Jiang Jun 16:21 Zhanhu 16:33 Who had the best armor in this showcase?

Spandex wearing Raider, truly we have peaked

The reason why I love these videos: 1: I get a free history lesson 2: I get to intake more For Honor content 3: I have something to listen to in the background while I work.

Not gonna lie, I was dying when he skipped over Gryphon.

Jesus that Kensei on red at the end looks so good

the female Raider one brings me physical pain. BRA OVER CHAINMAIL? WHAT THE HELL?

Me: *A highlander main* Dani: *praising highlanders new armor* Me: *Happy noises*

"Next....-" "Next we have Lawbringer..." Bruh that had me rolling

Also, something funny I noticed about Valk that you didn't bring up. The chainmail is JUST over her chest. None on the back, none on the sides. Still just leather there. You could say it's under the leather or something, but I think Ubi just gave Valk a bit of tiddy chainmail and called it a day.

side note: nuxia’s armor is a metal reskin of her default armor and the metal changes color depending on the material, so thankfully it isn’t just limited to white.

The reason the Knights' scale armors can be painted without chipped paint is because they literally just replaced the cloth texture with the scale, haha. With everyone who has plate (Cent, LB, etc.) it's still all chipped and gross; and, I HATE IT lmao

I was just waiting for this video since watching the warriors den

6:07 Yep, same. I was very happy that they finally removed the devil from the elbow, but inmediatly got slightly disapointed when I noticed they removed the chainmail

I have begged for those exact orochi arms since marching fire. They have the historically looking shoulder armor, they're metal, and the added chainmail is fantastic.

ever since the Cent video, "Lorica Musculata" is my new favourite word because of how fun it is to say

I can't wait for the next map that is rumored to be a map we already have but reskinned with a chainmail texture over it i'm so hyped.

Finally someone who understands that not every characters has to follow their aesthetic and some people want armored aramusha/shaolin or something else

As a Kensei main, I’m very happy with the new armor.

Gryphon shaves his ruggedy ass beard = NEW ARMOUR!!!1!1!1

Oh shit the Shinobi head was supposed to be chainmail... I no joke thought it was a fabric with a leopard pattern..

Great video m8, enjoyed it very much

As a Warlord player that got the whole set, i'll let you know when he does certain animations the Chain-mail texture stretches. Also it's annoying when you have a loadout and the arm shirt-sleeves doesn't match the shirt-bottom on the chest.

Best channel on RU-vid. Also, I love the love you showed to my main kensei. I really like his new stuff

Congrats on 20k bro love you’re Channel now we’re is that subscribe button at

The samurai definitely got the best of the new armor. Which I’m glad since the only alternative was to have rotten looking wooden armor. Those O-yoroi armor pieces like the shoulder pads and standards for Kensei are just, beautiful.

6:52 LMAO Your videos are great man, love seeing someone reviewing armor sets and complaining as much as i do hahaha

I was waiting for this

As far as i remember on the vikings faction Berserker used to be the only one you could use chainmail on his chest piece, the others ( Not the raider of course) used to only have the option to use different designs of leather armor chest.

6:59 gryphon starts crying after being skipped

16:48 Pls dude, what color palette are you using here? I´ve been wanting this look for centuries. Good video btw.

I'm just happy to have equipment that doesn't look like it's been put on right after getting dug up at an archaeological site. My issue with cleaner armor is that it's usually quite blinged out. So I find myself stuck going either with battle hobo or going to battle with enough Drip to make Charlemagne blush.

I love how if someone gives a disclaimer, there’s always someone who takes it dear to heart regardless.

I've been watching you since 5 thou and I just now realised I never subbed. Happy to see you at 20k, and thanks for the video, it was great.

Poggers he has uploaded

The armors meant to be "improved" so...they make conqs chainmail on his helmet leather? And shugo's metal plate standards chainmal? And remove vorts chainmail? And turn gryphon into Mr. Clean? I dont get it. I know they literally copy/pasted the same 3 textures over every character but its still weird and contradicting

I can’t wait for the Gryphon review

Will you ever be doing in depth reviews on them?

This video just made me spend 10k steel on more Kensei colours :’) and I had just finished redoing my kenseis too... damn gud vid btw

waiting for this

Hey, nice video and in your video you said that you’ll say stuff that will offend some people so I’m here to tell you that I’m not one of them as I enjoy your analysis on the new armor sets also I agree with your opponent on the matter that yes the armor looks fine but it could of been better. Favorite part of the video was 6:53

Heeeeey I love my paint chipped and ruined! Makes me feel like a veteran! Love your videos btw.

If you use raiders chainmail with one of the heavy fur shoulders, you can mostly distract from the spandex texture of the chestpiece.

İ love how you explain armores😄

“Centurion has always had drip” And this, this is what keeps me pushing as a Centurion main ^^

I love the Black Prior armor!

God that Warden armour though, it’s a re-skin but I don’t care, also that Kensei armour with Cinnabar, it’s so beautiful, they finally got rid of that awful patch on the vest, that chainmail on the Vikings looks really weird, especially the Raiders, it actually looks awful.

As a glad main i'd love some mail shirts. I adore bare chested gladiator but some proper armour for him would be really cool

Finally! I wish this from begining. New shiny armors to collects wohooooo. Really as a fashion collector i waits for this from centuries.

Sheeeeesh that kensei drip. 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Let's go!!!! The moment these were announced I knew this would be coming. Or that at least GoGoDani was smiling some where in the world!

Dude I'm so happy to hear you say everything you did in the opening I thought I was just being a downer but yeah these are just reskins and they feel super lazy to me :/

The Kensei armor is basically perfect, but the only thing i would have liked better is if the colour change would have been applied to the corners of the surcoat instead of the sleeves. And of course the removal of stuff that was already good (like the BP chainmail). Hopefully they keep doing this type of reskins...and that they give completely new sets to the remaining year 1 heroes before year 6 starts...

Can you do a video on Chivalry 2 and give us your opinion on it ?

I think one big issue I have with the new armor variants is that they take one armor set type and just add to it or take away things while keeping the armor similar to the ones its based of of which can work. I like warden,bp,lb,highlander,shugo,kensies and a few others especially bps the fact they got rid of the demon face on the elbow pads and the mascara on his eyes is a huge plus for me. I enjoy how those characters look but other characters suffer because of it since the outfits there trying to add armor to were never ment to have armor in the first place so it looks off on some characters like pk and jorm when they change the texture to look like armor when the texture that was change was never ment to be armor like lbs cloth strips that were made to look like armor despite that not making any sense if you think about it. I think a better move going forward for ubi would be to try a take a armor set and add things to it from other sets like jorms new set has some kind of armor on his chest and shoulders but has no helmet and no shoes so it weird to think jorm just got bored half way through getting ready for battle. So to fix this why not put the boots that are on jorms leather armor looking set and put it on the new one and take his Loki helmet he has and just get rid of all the accessories and make it a basic looking helmet and add it to him won't be perfect but would be better. A better idea would be to have character armor be shared between eachother it would make sense lore wise since everybody joining the Covenants why couldn't they share some armor like I doubt most people will mind seeing raider wear something from warlord. That being said I do like what there trying to do I just think they need to go all in with it start mixing armor sets a see what fits we already have elements of it with some armor pieces so why not go all in if it looks good of course.

Literally a RU-vidr made a better chainmail Raider than UBI did

The main issue I have with LB's new armour is that Ubi took some chainmail off his arms, elbow to hands region, for some reason.

Now the kensei looks actually like rich/noble daimyo

Orochi finally has armor that matches ubis character pictures. In all their art he has chainmail on his arms

I am pretty sure that if they could, they would have made actual new scale/chainmail models, and not just retexture everything. This is very likely roots at the same place as the reused animation heroes, and no unique execution. I think the team did a really good job with what they got.

I as a Highlander main adore the new armor set, but I think it‘d be better without a cape. And it would be even better if you could change the material with all leather straps, especially on the chest there are some pieces which always stay white.

Jeez it's grown fast

like your opinion on the NEW gryphon HELMET

I'm just glad a lot of these warriors got chest pieces that actually look different. I mean, take warden or lawbringer for example. If you're fighting with or against one, you're not going be able to tell what chest they have. Same with the raider and his bondage gear. They all look the same. (though that skin-tight chainmaille is not gonna help with the bondage gear jokes). The only ones that look different are their marching fire armor. Compare that to Centurion which has very obvious musculata, segmentata, or squamata for his chest pieces or the kensei which uses various kozane or hotoke armor with a coat cosmetic.

I was happy when I saw shinobi in the armor showcase

I’m pretty sure they said these were all the stock armors but retextured hence why most don’t look any different

it would be cool if they let you adjust the ware of the armor, so people can have rust and paint chips if they want and people can also have clean armor.

I used the chainmail chest piece on raider with one of his helmets that gives him a face covered in chainmail, and now all the enemies of the Vikings fear the coming of the chainmail man...

Something about the textures of these armors bother me tbh but I can't place it? They almost look like clay in certain lighting, especially centurion and kenseis chest piece 🤔

Are these armor sets here to stay or are they timed exclusives

Kensei definitely big winner this time around, the metal drip still gives me chills Raider, come on we were so close to having good armor. at least it's chainmail I guess . . . Knights still have the best drip all around in my opinion so they still remain the gold standard

Samurais finally getting metal armor, this is going to take me back into the game. I've been wishing this for years.

Armored Aramusha and Battle Monk sound awesome. If only that was a thing.

You can also change the color of the armor with Kensei? Shinobi really got shafted.

I don’t want to sound stupid, but on bp they swapped the chain mail out for gambeson which offers better insulation and similar protection

Yay

Just wish I could get the armor at this point. Been playing all week and all I get are weapons. And it’s nice to have the default Zhanhu head without the ugly scar now, not that I’ll switch off what I use anyways

God I wish ubi gives us an option to allow/remove paint chipping on our armors

I'm always gonna have issues with armor like Nobushi's. Most of them look so similar it's hard to find stuff I like.

I personally like the BP arms because they look like gambeson. And I really like gambeson

Hito looks like he's trying to cosplay a Knight with this new gear.

Gotta say that the mask from the new hito set only looks good in default material and the arnor showcase. Was really hoping for just a clean version of the sakura's spirit mask.

SHEEEEEESSHH

You gotta love berseker and shaman wearing chainmail straight on skin and put leather chest piece over it

Can’t believe they got rid of the crosses on night armor

Tiandi's default set is based off of 9th Sui / Tang dynasty armor, not Ming Dynasty armor. Otherwise good video as per usual.

I don't think anyone can be mad at your opinions just because of "Centurion has always at drip" like goddamn. Preach

I like the female raider chainmail, it doesnt look to bad next to male raidor and I think you can overlook the bra over mail thing, its just fashion and shes wearing another underneath xD anyway, thanks for hte great content, well done! I like the kensei and warden armor and honestly across the board from a looks standpoint I think its pretty good (ignore male raider) a few could use improvement but overall I like them

Can someone tell how to get the new armor? It’s been days and I still can’t get any of the new helms, arms, or chest pieces

I am only happy that Kensei finally got metal armor, now I can finally make my realistic Kensei

Man i just want a simple 15th century knight plate armor for warden, is it too much to ask for?

I’m rep 9 conq, rep 12 highlander and rep 10 kensei. And I have played for 4 days for about 2 hrs each day and havnt gotten a single drop of one of these items of clothing. Either they’re not available yet or I’m extremely unlucky, I’m desperate to get that conq chest piece so I played him the most and I keep getting the SAME event shield almost every time. Smh

Why don’t they add a wear and tear system for armour in the material area?

Im just so sad that we didnt get any year 1 hero armor... highlander, shinobi and gladiator really need it!

did you not see the rest of warlord's chainmail shirt sticking out at the bottom?

Ok so idk if Highlander, shinobi and gladiator got 6 unique sets of armors each before centurion, shaman and aramusha. But I still feel kinda shafted in that the three year 1 heroes that I play, and who I’ve thought would get 6 unique armors sets in the future didn’t. Still can’t really complain about the Highlander drip.

I am happy to say that we have officially reached a new age in for honor fashion We have *cleaner* armors

I actually really like the Raider armor. Bad chainmail is better than no chainmail at all!

Kensei got the biggest W ever since his original rework

Ubisoft should have either made entirely new unique set for these *reinforced meta" they proposed or, at least, they should have worked on the pre existing sets that were already pretty good at protecting the character. That means that instead of conqueror with the harms exposed they should have gone for anything else, while raider should have been completely redone for this concept.

Me finally excited Raider has chainmail so I can make a as historical as possible Raider. Also me Noticing the chain mail is skin tight.: I hurt a little 🙃
