For Honor is one of the more unconventional fighting games to come out in recent memory. Players are able to take up arms as one of several historical factions that never actually met on the battlefield and duke it out in a variety of game modes. One faction that has a habit of dominating this war is the Vikings. Let’s delve into what makes them so powerful.
For Honor Viking Faction
Raider
“You’re a raider! Legendary!” The Raider is a Vanguard hero which makes them easy to pick up and play for new players. Their attack style is more aggressive than their Warden and Kensei counterparts and makes use of grabs and wide swings.

Warlord
Much like the Knights' Conqueror, the Warlord makes use of his large shield to fend off opponents' attacks to get nice and close. Once there, the short sword rains down heavy blows to drain a foe’s stamina and leave them vulnerable to finishing blows.
Berserker
An assassin like no other, the Berserker is meant to be a pest and harasser. Their attacks hit hard and fast and pair well with aggressive players. Just be mindful to not be caught out of a combo as they are the crux of the Berserker’s kit.
Valkyrie
The Valkyrie is a formidable fighter that is equally comfortable working at a distance or up close thanks to her spear and small shield. With an arsenal of pokes, sweeps, and jabs, the Valkyrie keeps the pressure up better than most heroes.

Highlander
The Highlander is a hybrid fighter with two different combat forms which rely on technical precision. Mastering the Offensive and Defensive forms is key to succeeding with this hero.
Shaman
The Shaman is a light, nimble, and utterly vicious attacker. By inflicting the Bleed status and constantly moving, the Shaman can float around the battlefield while utterly terrorizing opponents.
Jormungandr
The Jormungandr is a juggernaut that can trade blows. While they’re slower than other fighters, when they hit, they hit hard. Be patient, mindful of your surroundings, and keep foes pinned down against a wall or some other obstacle to be truly effective.
