For Honor Tier List (September 2021)

We showcase our ultimate For Honor Tier List in this article.

Last Updated: September 2021

To dominate in For Honor you need practice, skill but most importantly, you need to pick the characters that are good at the current meta, which is why this For Honor Tier List is absolutely critical. There are 21 characters in For Honor with very unique attack patterns and skills. Our goal for this list is to rank them according to their overall power, to help you understand what are the characters that will help you win the most.

Click here to jump straight to For Honor Tier List: Best Character!

We also take into account the different modes that are in the game, since not all characters are ideal for all the modes. The most played modes are Brawl, Dominion, and Duel, so we will be focusing on these 3 to keep the list on the point.

Let’s get into it!

FOR HONOR TIER LIST

S-Tier

On this Tier, we find the most dominating characters of the game. You will have a great advantage against your opponent if he doesn’t have someone from this Tier. These characters do great damage and have excellent survivability.

• Warmonger
• Conqueror
• Nobushi
• Jiang Jun
• Shinobi

A-Tier

They might not be at the top of this list, but don’t take them lightly for that. The heroes on this Tier can win against S-Tier ones without a doubt. We have seen it happen many times, we have done it many times and unfortunately, it has been done to us at any time. Against on some specific match-ups, they might even have the advantage. Just pick the hero you like from this Tier without worrying about it.

• Kensei
• Black Prior
• Shaolin
• Nuxia
• Berserker

B-Tier

The characters on this Tier don’t lack so much in power as they lack in good match-ups. Unfortunately, power is not the most important thing in this game. You need a combination of strong attacks, with good defense and the ability to actually land these attacks on your enemy to dominate the arena. If you pick these heroes, make sure you are not picking them into a character that is countering you.  For example: don’t pick Highlander into a Berserker, you are going to regret it.

• Highlander
• Raider
• Gryphon
• Zhanhu
• Shaman

C-Tier

We are starting to reach a point now, that you should consider well if you want to play these characters or not. Of course, there might be cases where a character from this list will dominate a character higher on this list, but what you will see most commonly is the characters on this Tier losing. Still, though, they feel very satisfied to play. Orochi is our favorite hero to play but unfortunately, we can’t rank him anywhere higher.

• Orochi
• Centurion
• Peacekeeper
• Sakura
• Valkyrie

D-Tier

The most important thing with the heroes on this tier is that you enjoy playing them because you will not find many advantages while doing so. Their attacks do less damage compared to most of the other heroes and they have to land many more hits to win against most opponents. Be very careful when picking them.

• Hulda
• Gladiator
• Warden
• Tiandi

LOL-Tier

We have reached the bottom of our list, probably the most important part of it. You should study it and memorize these heroes because you have to actively avoid them. There is almost no benefit to picking them. So… stay away.

• Aramusha
• Lawbringer

FOR HONOR TIER LIST: BEST CHARACTER

The best character in For Honor is Warmonger.

He excels both at attack and defense and can take advantage of his enemy’s weaknesses with his fast attack animation and great mobility. Even amongst the S-Tier, he is a special character that is great against most match-ups.

RANKING METHODOLOGY

We understand that you might have some questions as to how we decided to rank the characters this way. Bellow you will find a table, that has some number that we took into account when ranking (there are many more stats available, but we thought they would be too confusing for the average player).

A very important part of this table is Average Frame Values. These numbers are helping the players understand, how easily punishable, is a heroes move set.

Conclusion

Of course, you should study what is good at the current meta of the game, but what is important is to actually enjoy the game. Don’t worry about which character is the best. Just play the ones that make you feel nice and try to get better with time. If you want, you can even pick Aramusha to climb the ranks. Hell.. stranger things have happened so why not?
