So, for all his many strengths, Black Prior takes #5 on this list. His midclear and mid presence are fantastic, but even he can’t outdo the truly dedicated midclear fighters. His gank is good, but not as good as his competition on this list. Black Prior’s ability to flow into his all-guard protects him from such a huge percentage of For Honor’s gank setups that putting him on side point makes that point extremely difficult to wrestle away.īlack Prior may be what is perhaps the best example of a complete (if a bit overloaded) character in For Honor, but that doesn’t make him the best at everything. In fact, Black Prior completely alters one of the fundamental aspects of ganking: blockstun. Black Prior’s got everything: damage output, stall/antigank ability, ganking pressure of his own, fantastic feat choices for saving his teammates (which is where a large portion of his Roamer strength comes from), one-on-one potential, midclear, everything. So what is he bad at? Well, he doesn’t have very good chase, and he doesn’t run the fastest, nor does he have the highest range… but that’s about it. With a character like Black Prior, it’s often more productive to list what he isn’t good at than what he is.

Loads of utility, and a game-changing anti-ganker. Let’s get right into the list! #5: Black Prior Scale: Very Poor ->Poor -> Below Average -> Average -> Good -> Strong -> Very Strong -> Needs Addressing.Each character has some capacity in each of these roles.) (It’s important to remember that roles are not static, for example a character who may primarily be a ganker may be called upon to defend a side point or clear mid. Ganker (Dispatching outnumbered targets).So, which characters currently dominate the meta, post-CCU? There’s not a whole lot of changes from pre-CCU (the ones who ruled before still rule now) but as the meta is a lot more open and way more characters have some degree of usability, the playing field isn’t quite as skewed as it was before, so it’s worth revisiting!įirst, here are the roles each character can fill in Dominion: In For Honor, the longstanding, most popular, and most functional competitive game mode has always been Dominion.
