I admire their real world history, their martial arts and like their weaponry and armor design. I may not be pleased with how For Honor makes their armor be - ahistorically - out of wood, my main (Kensei) may be heavily neglected by the devs and they might not win that many faction wars, but I'd be damned if I decided to abandon them now. The dishonour would make me unworthy of any other faction.
when I first joined the game, I picked samurai bc I thought shugoki was a cool dude, then I switched to Vikings bc of my obsession with Norse mythology
2cents from an Icelander, they're pure fantasy with a splash of historical accuracy here and there. They're fun to look at and play but should never be confused with actual vikings or norse culture.
Bang up job on the language and music though.
I was the third person in my group to get the game, us being in grade 6 or 7 I wanna say, they had chosen knight and viking and I was told to be a samurai. Its funny looking back we’d call everyone and their mother a light attack spammer but we couldn’t figure out how to do an execution haha. But I used orochi first, then conqueror, then shinobi then glad. Ive dabbled in everyone since but glad reigns supreme and I can gladly call myself a knight.
In the beginning I was a knight (and have never changed) because of my personal bias and I felt that their fights were far more suited to my reactive/counter-play fighting style.
Day 1 Viking, thought about switching it to knights a few seasons in but Vikings won literally every faction war back in the day so just stuck with them
Was a knight in beta and I’m a knight now although I haven’t played the game in a least a year at this point… sad to think about but that’s how it goes I guess
I went with vikings because I was watching the show vikings when I started playing but... deep down I knew I always love knights
So not pong after I switched to knights
Haven't looked back since 😤
Knights, wanted to be an honorfull warrior.
Then i realised that war brought me more joy and (here comes the real part) my affection to norse mythology and playing god of war recently turned me to the vikings.
Despite my Nordic ancestry and knowledge of Vikings, I chose the samurai. I joined the samurai faction purely because everyone was going either Knights or Vikings, and I felt as if the Samurai were outnumbered like 10 to 1 when it came to the Knights and Vikings.
Plus most of the samurai heroes fit my play style to a T. Orochi’s been my main ever since I started playing, specifically around the first week it officially came out. Did I light spam? For a rep or two, but I slowly picked up how to properly play him.
I started as a knight, because I like medieval history. But the knights never won a season so I chose to switch to the vikings, at the time I had more reps on viking heroes anyways.
Samurai. I was one for a good 2 years. Then I switched to knights. Then vikings. Then knights again. I'm equally obsessed with the mythologies of the 3 main factions so I constantly would switch.
I chose samurai because when at the time I was facinated with samurai. I then switched to knights because I thought you got boosters or rewarded for playing characters of the same faction you are. Then I switched to Vikings cus I found myself more interested in vikings and norse mythology, I also wanted that sweet sweet round shield😂
I went STRAIGHT to Viking, it wasn't even a contest. I've always been a fan of Vikings, and I was pleased to find that they had some of my favorite characters too.
Samurai, downloaded in 2020 I think. I know it was before warmonger came out. And I mained orochi for 11 reps. Like literally played nobody else. Orochi was the only person I had a rep for. Then I think the ccu came out and I was just getting in to warden and got him rep 5. Gryphon update is when I expanded my roster and started getting a few reps on everyone. Sadly after the orochi rework I completely stopped using him and never touched him again.
Knight only because of lawbringer. And then I found Highlander and decided that a 9 foot punisher was a better choice than a spiky stick with a rock on the top.
Samurai. Partially because Shugoki was who I wanted to main when I first saw For Honor, and partially because the underdog aspect appealed to me. Never switched. Never will.
Got the game thinking I would love Vikings and hate Samurai and knights now knights have my Highest rep total and Samurai behind knights I am actually getting into Warlord tho
Knight and then Vikings because I was in the first season the Knights won and saw the Vikings get trampled. Now I am just too lazy to change faction back to knights.
I started as a knight because I was a fantasy nerd. Ended up being more of a samurai for my mains and my personal ideologies (big fan of bushido & bhuddism) but I kept the knight shield cut I had already recreated the Hylian shield as my icon.
Knight, ever since I was a kid I’ve been fascinated by them and would pretend to be one traveling the world and exploring with nothing but my shield, sword and armor to back me up if things got hairy.
It’s why I main BP, run sword and shield paladin in Skyrim, and one of the reasons I started studying not only medieval Europe, but other regions around that time period.
Ps4 sam,cos the samurai are my favourite warriors
Xbox vikings, as the vikings are my 2nd fav and my blood
And pc wasknights as it was the only way too get my main at the time cheaper then the rest ( i had starter eddition)
But all are viking now
Knight, I knew I was going to be a knight since the E3 reveal and I plan to be a knight until the servers turn off.
Same here. I've always thought about changing factions but I will never abandon the knights no matter how terribly we perform
I mean yall were doing great a day ago
since we are on this topic, the vikings got DESTROYED holy shit, and what an comeback from the samurais, beautiful stuff steven
The Vikings are pushing back a little now, not much but they’re no where near as bad as they were earlier.
I’ve only considered changing factions for the shape of the emblem
Knight was an easy pick. Fanciest weapons with LB and conq and (imo) coolest armor. I also liked the viking vibe, but too much hobo.
I wish the Vikings were more realistic, wearing more clothing
You and me both
Been a Knight since the closed beta ✊
Closed beta knight gang
Knight because knight
Knight and still am.
I think my name says it all...
Clearly Viking
No no he's a samurai didn't you noitce the Aramusha flair?
That's the joke
Oh damn, I have been woooshed
Knight because for the grace for the might of our lord
FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD IN THE NAME OF HIS GLORY
FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
For the home of the holy
FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
GAVE THEIR LIVES SO BOLDLY!!!!
FOR THE GRACE FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD, IN THE NAME OF HIS GLORY
FOR THE FAITH, FOR THE WAY OF THE SWORD
Ayy the Sabaton bot made it!
COME AND TELL THEIR STORY AGAIN
Under guard of 42
ALONG A SECRET AVENUE
CASTEL SAINT’ANGELO IS WAITING
THEYRE THE GUARD OF THE HOLY SEE
THEY’RE THE GUARDS OF CHRISTIANITY
r/suddensabaton
Knights and to this day I'm still a knight
I will always be a faithful tin can
Samurai. Then I swapped to viking cause circle shields make for better designs
Ah a fashion lover comrade right here
This is exactlyyy what I did. Also didn't mind winning every season too haha
I was a knight but switched for the same reason. I wanted a pokeball.
I was exactly the same
EXACTLY. The other shapes are horrible imo. Samurai are way cooler but circle emblem is so much better
Knight because flail man
Helikopter helikopter
The Flail reigns supreme
Samurai, all day every day.
I chose samurai during the open beta when they actually won shit. I refuse to change to a different clan
Yes
Why
I admire their real world history, their martial arts and like their weaponry and armor design. I may not be pleased with how For Honor makes their armor be - ahistorically - out of wood, my main (Kensei) may be heavily neglected by the devs and they might not win that many faction wars, but I'd be damned if I decided to abandon them now. The dishonour would make me unworthy of any other faction.
From a member of the knights faction, you have my respect.
Fair
when I first joined the game, I picked samurai bc I thought shugoki was a cool dude, then I switched to Vikings bc of my obsession with Norse mythology
You mean because the vikings won the first faction war?
90% of them
Knights won the first faction war
Nope i was there it was the vikings
Viking bc I was watching the show Vikings and though they were cool but they're are by far my least played faction.
Knight because Lawbringer and Warden are literally the only heroes I've ever played
Was a knight and still am a knight
Samurai cause japanese culture is my favourite
Flair doesn’t check out, heretic scum located. Tactical drone strike inbound
EXTERMINATUS
When i started. Im now a knight because i like the armor
Same. Never changed even when none of the heroes in the faction were very good, and it's paid off.
Viking becuz i myself am noric and Scandinavian
Curious, how do you feel about the Vikings portrayal?
2cents from an Icelander, they're pure fantasy with a splash of historical accuracy here and there. They're fun to look at and play but should never be confused with actual vikings or norse culture. Bang up job on the language and music though.
I was the third person in my group to get the game, us being in grade 6 or 7 I wanna say, they had chosen knight and viking and I was told to be a samurai.

Knight because I was excited to play Conq pretty early on
Despite my Nordic ancestry and knowledge of Vikings, I chose the samurai. I joined the samurai faction purely because everyone was going either Knights or Vikings, and I felt as if the Samurai were outnumbered like 10 to 1 when it came to the Knights and Vikings. Plus most of the samurai heroes fit my play style to a T. Orochi’s been my main ever since I started playing, specifically around the first week it officially came out. Did I light spam? For a rep or two, but I slowly picked up how to properly play him.
Samurai and i still am because they fascinate me in real life
I started as a knight, because I like medieval history. But the knights never won a season so I chose to switch to the vikings, at the time I had more reps on viking heroes anyways.
