Larry's Vacation

The **Larry's Vacation** was a mini-event in For Honor taking place during July 25 through the August 1st, 2019.

## Overview

Larry the Warden is For Honor’s “Execution Guy”, who can be seen in the For Honor in-game menus when previewing the executions. The naming of this character stems from the For Honor community and we are proud to bring him to life.

From July 25th to August 1st, Larry the Warden will take his first vacation from executions and his “co-workers” will replace him in-game. During this time, all other For Honor heroes will be executed while wearing a paper mask with a Warden helmet on it.

## Larry's Vacation Diary

### July 25

> "I decided to take a vacation and cool off from the execution grind. I thought it would be neat to start a vacation blog so that you guys can see what I’m up to for the week.
>
>

> Today is my first official day off so I went for a scenic bike ride!"
>
>

### July 26

> "Day 2 of my vacation, and I’m not used to seeing so much sun. I spent the day at the beach covered in SPF 100."
>
>

### July 27

> "Today, I took some time for \*\*self-care.\*\* I put my years of executions behind me and tried yoga!"
>
>

### July 28

> "What’s better than bubbles? Blowing bubbles! Why did no one tell me about this before? Why can’t I be Larry the Bubble Guy?"
>
>

### July 29

> "In my journey to discover the simple pleasures of life, I’ve turned to the joys of reading. Yet another activity that’s much more relaxing than executions."
>
>

### July 30

> "Nothing says “vacation” like taking selfies with a beautiful sandcastle."
>
>

### July 31

> "Who said Larry the Warden can’t sing? …I mean, maybe you did. At least I’m trying new things! Life’s not just about executions."
>
>

### August 1

> "I’m feeling so refreshed from my vacation that I miss doing executions. I never thought I’d say that, but a week away makes you feel nostalgic. Now that I’m back, I can’t wait to show you more executions!"
>
>

Kensei/Moveset

## Moveset

### General

* **Renown: Vanguard** - Earn more Renown when controlling objectives, either by capturing or defending them, to unlock your feats in a match. (non-Dominion/Breach gamemodes only)
* **Revenge Mode** - Boosts Damage and Health. All Attacks are Uninterruptible. Parry and Throws knock enemies down. Attacks are Auto-Parried on activation.
* **Dodge: Superior Block** - Dodge in the direction of an incoming Attack just before impact to Superior Block it, interrupting it.

### Hero Specific

* **Chain Starters** - A successful Guardbreak (including Grasping Pounce) counts as a Chain Starter, and can be followed into the ChainLight or Heavy attack.
	+ **Mid-Chain Starters** - Helm Splitter, Swift Strike, Nature's Wrath and Guardbreak Throws count as the second attack in a Chain, therefore can be followed with any Chain Finisher.
* **Top Heavy Mix-ups** - Kensei's Top Heavy Attacks in Chains all have soft feint properties to provide mix-up opportunities.
	+ **Top Heavy Opener Cancel** - Top Heavy Opener can be cancelled during its Startup by: A Side Light Opener, a Side Heavy Opener, a Dodge Move, or an Unblockable Pommel Strike (use Guardbreak).
	+ **Second** **Top Heavy Cancel** - Top Heavy Chain can be cancelled during its Startup by: A Side Light Chain, a Side Heavy Chain, a Dodge Move, or a Guardbreak.
	+ **Top Heavy Finisher Cancel** - Top Heavy Finisher can be cancelled during its Startup by: A Side Light Finisher, a Side Heavy Finisher, a Dodge Move, or a Quick Guardbreak. A Quick Guardbreak is the same quick Guardbreak that is performed after a Hard Feint, resulting in a much faster Guardbreak than usual due to the lack of the Hard Feint recovery.
* **Special Finishers** - Top Heavy Finisher is Unblockable, but is slower than their other Heavy attacks. Side Heavy Finishers and all Light Finishers have Uninterruptible Stance, which starts up earlier into the attack than most instances of Uninterruptible.
* **Superior Block Dodge Attacks** - Kensei can still perform their Dodge Attacks even when they successfully block an attack with their Superior Block property, although their Heavy Dodge Attacks are not guaranteed. A successful Superior Block with the Forward Dodge does guarantee Helm Splitter (Forward Dodge Light).
* **Evasive Swift Strike** - Kensei's Swift Strike hits at the opposite of the direction of the Dodge.
* **Zone Attack** - Cancel Zone Attack after the first Attack with B (XB1), E (PC) or 〇 (PS4).
* **Stunning Throws** - Throws briefly stun enemies.

Maps

In *For Honor*, there are over 20 multiplayer **maps** that can be played on. The weather and time of day changes, depending on which faction is in ownership of the map, allowing for a multitude of moods for the battlefield. Weather changes include snow, rain, fog and arid. Time of day can be day or night, dawn or dusk. Maps have limited gamemodes they can be featured for; none of them are able to provide to be available for every gamemode.

The maps are divided up by faction. Each faction represents a specific regional area and style. Castles and other large stone buildings are often represented by Knights, while wooden buildings among the rugged snow-capped peaks and rocky mountains are considered home to the Vikings, whereas temples and graceful architecture belong to the Samurai.

However, decorations around the map such as banners will designate which faction is in control of the supposed location. This allows for more visual variations to experience.

Mount Ignis

**Mount Ignis** is an active volcano on the edge of Ashfeld's border with the Myre. It is in a state of constant eruption and is a reminder of Ashfeld's dark past.

## Overview

Mount Ignis is a cone volcano found in the north east corner of Ashfeld. It is in a state of constant eruption with a steady flow of lava from its peak thanks to the instability of the land. Mount Ignis is responsible for a large number of the lakes in the north part of Ashfeld being turned to acid as well as the lakes and rivers of lava found nearby. Several villages have had to be evacuated and have been consumed by lava. As well as poisoning Ashfeld's lakes and creating new ones out of lava, Mount Ignis also caused the rivers in Valkenheim to freeze over for 2 years.

While Ignis is its official name, the volcano also has another informal name used by the local population of villagers: Mount Rust.

## Reigning Inferno

For the two weeks of August 16 - August 30, 2018, Mount Ignis underwent explosive eruption with an eruption column large enough that covered part of Ashfeld, Valkenheim, and the Myre in ash. During which time, all three lands fell into a state of chaos with looters raiding villages and cults forming in a desperate attempt to appease the gods.

When Mount Ignis erupted, all three lands fell into chaos as they tried to not only survive but continued to wage war with one another. Nearby locations were consumed by lava and fire but the eruption caused disasters even in places outside its blast radius. The eruption blocked out the sun, causing massive snowfall and blizzards. Coasts were hit by massive storms. The tale of what happened were given through daily orders.
More can be read on the event's respective page found here.

Larry the Warden

## Larry

> *'Do you think I'm some kind of joke?!'*
>
>

**Larry the Warden**, also known as **Execution Guy** is the Warden seen every time an execution is previewed.

## Overview

A Warden can be seen in the For Honor in-game menus when previewing the executions and has been lovably named 'Larry' by the community.

Since Larry has no speaking lines aside from screams of agony, little is known of his personality. However, it is shown he is frustrated in the office and feels underappreciated. As of July 25 to August 1, 2019, Larry has declared he will be taking a vacation from being executed repeatedly. During this time, other co-workers of Larry "volunteered" to take his place of being executed.

On June 24th, 2020, Larry was given full control of the game's official Twitter account, offering some meme-y replies together with his own exclusive review of the many Executions in the game (with voice). All of his tweets were done with the "#ForLarry" hashtag.

### Dead by Daylight crossover

In anticipation for a collaboration between For Honor and Dead by Daylight, a twitter post was made by BeHaVioR. On October 20th, 2021, Larry was at work when his light started flickering, causing him to shout in annoyance "knock it off." Although at first the lights return to normal, the lights flicker once more when a dark fog appears, seemingly taking Larry away.

While his fate is left unknown. a new Charm became available in Dead by Daylight with the code "ForHonor," unlocking the Knight's Helm Charm. Meanwhile in For Honor, right before and during the events of Survivors of the Fog, Larry was replaced by other Heroes during the execution previews, much like when he had gone on vacation.

Kaiyo Kabe

**Kaiyo Kabe** was a sea fortress that guarded part of the Myre's coast. It is an ancient fortress that guards one of the few locations that is safe for a fleet to attack from.

## Overview

**Kaiyo Kabe** is an ancient fortress formerly commanded by Fujikiyo. Due to how unstable the ground is in the Myre, there are only a few safe places an attacking fleet can make landfall. In response, a fortress was built at that location. It is one of the few Samurai structures that have remained standing over the years. The fortress serves as a deterrent for enemy fleets, equipped with hundreds of archers and dozens of catapults to annihilate enemy fleets. Massive wooden spikes are also hidden under the water to destroy ships that get too close.

If attackers succeed in making it past all that, they can close the gates and trap the attackers in the bailey.

## History

Since the arrival of the Samurai, Kaiyo Kabe has served as the Myre's defense and deterred attacking fleets. Unfortunately, its effectiveness ultimately became its undoing. It was so effective at deterring fleets that it would not face a real attack for hundreds of years. When the Vikings attacked during The Great Raid, it was unable to stop the assault.

## Trivia

* The name "Kaiyo Kabe" (海洋壁; *kaiyou kabe*) literally translates to "ocean wall."
* Later on, a new map by the name of Beachhead would be made available. Beachhead takes the likeliness of Kaiyo Kabe, although it has been shrunk down and have ramparts on the outside of the walls. The opening cutscene even makes references to events during the Up the Beach chapter, such as Viking ships ramming into defenses placed on the waterfront as the Attackers land safely on the beach.

Overwatch

### Valkenheim Weather

These cliff-side fortresses oversee large open areas featuring several catapults and ballista batteries.

They were built on cliffs that overlooked expansive tracts of strategically valuable open lands. They provide defense with heavy siege-engine barrages. A fortress features an outer perimeter where the bulk of the structure’s defenses are located and an inner perimeter where several catapults and ballista batteries operate.

## Overview

The battlefield is divided into three sections: Battlefield Mid where the Soldiers clash, the wall overhang, and the balcony over the front gate that is being rammed. On both sides, there are two paths, one leading to the Battlefield by going under the bridges, another that leads upwards to access the bridge or the wall overhang. These bridges hang above, one made of wood and another made of stone, dividing the battlefield from each side's spawn. For either sides, while it is very easy to go between the wall overhang and the battlefield, there are only twos ways to access the balcony: either by the bridge access ways or the ladders that line the walls just outside the battlefield.

In the area of the wall overhang is a set of trap doors. At the start of the round, they are all closed, with the two other hatches only opening in non-duel/brawl matches when Sudden Death is triggered. Between the wall overhang and the battlefield are a set of spikes against the walls. The bridges also have openings on their sides, tall enough that none can survive the fall if pushed off its ledge.

In Dominion, the only way to access a high point like this is via siege towers. These towers are easily seen and the defenders prepare catapults and ballista to fight back. Archers on the siege towers open fire on the artillery crew, who are forced to retreat. The towers reach the wall and open, spilling troops into the fort. Left with no choice, the defenders charge into battle.

## Trivia

* Before the Season 11 update, the only way to access point A (the Balcony) was by the bridges. However, because this had created chokepoints, Point A was not highly desirable in higher end play. As a result, changes were made to expand point A to cover the entire balcony along with adding ladders to access it from Battlefield.
	+ The same applies to the nature of the trapdoors on point C, which opened up early on during a match. They've been changed to not open until Sudden Death, with one set of doors not opening at all.

River Fort

### Valkenheim Weather

River forts protect lands from water-based invasions. Equipped with powerful catapults, they sink hostile vessels before they get too close.

The River Fort is a typical fortification of Viking origin, found on northern rivers where they’ve established colonies. They’re usually built by fortifying a riverside fishing village into a full-fledged counter-siege stronghold. The soldiers manning the catapults are highly trained specialists adept at sinking sailing ships.

## Overview

The entire fort is centered around the overwatch rampart at its center, which is accessible by both the Attackers and Defenders through their own side's rampart, be it stairs or ladders. With a trench filled with spikes underneath it, the overwatch overlooks the courtyard and the river lookout. The river lookout holds a catapult that would be used against any ship. Attackers come from the forest and will have to traverse the courtyard in order to reach the barracks and seize the fort.

In Dominion, no ships can pass without facing the river fort. So the first order of business is to take over the fort. Soldiers arrive from the forest, climbing up ladders to invade the fortress. But the defenders know they're coming. The catapult is adjusted to lay siege to the fleet while a horn sounds to rally the soldiers from the barracks to warn them of the invasion.

For this year April’s fool, we have something special in reserve.

For Honor: Playground Edition is live from 9:00am EDT, April 1st to 12:30am EDT, April 2nd!
Return to a simpler time, when recess was king, by playing any game mode during the event. Remember to play nice (and don’t let Shugoki steal your lunch money)!

Jokes aside, there is also a Testing Grounds that will be live from April 1st to April 8th.
We’ll see you on the battlefield, Warriors—after your nap, obviously.

## Overview

As part of an April's Fools mini-event, the game was themed after a children's recess for an entire day.

All soldiers and pikemen have been reskinned as plastic soldiers, as Ballistae fire gigantic foam darts. All Hero weapons are now foam, with each hit creating confetti and squeaky sound effects before applying a band-aid over their wounds. Even executions have become PG-friendly, as injuries and beheadments will feature a rainbow light, while dead Heroes are marked with X's over their eyes and a cartoonishly long tongue sticking out of their mouth.

The menu screen shows a parade of toy Knight solders, led by Hervis Daubeny.
Practice Mode

**Practice Mode** allows players to revisit the tutorial they played when they started their game for the first time. This is good for players who want additional guided practice, or for players who haven't been in the game for a while and want a quick refresher. This mode covers movement as well as attack basics, including light and heavy attacks, dodging and Guard Breaks. It also covers the basics of capturing zones.

## Advanced Practice

Advanced Practice Mode skips the basics and moves directly into attack moves, starting with how to interrupt a Guard Break. Players then learn how to Parry and to perform External Blocks using the left or right guard stance. Players learn about the Revenge Meter and how to fill and use it. Once these tasks are completed the player can either leave the practice or continue on to zone capture. Completing this initial portion of the Advanced Practice will reward the player with 1500 Steel.

## Free Mode

Free Mode is a practice mode that bears similarity to Dominion in that there are two teams of four fighting over three zones. The match is played with AI warriors. As long as the player is alive, the AI warriors can be resurrected and have the ability to respawn. Once the player dies however, the mission fails and the practice is over.

#### Duel Practice

In Duel Practice, the player is matched with an AI warrior and as in 1v1, the winner is the best of five rounds.
Reputation

Each of For Honor's Heroes has their own multiplayer level, ranging from 1 to 20. Experience in multiplayer is gained from completing gamemodes, as well as orders. XP boosts and special XP weekends can help hasten the leveling process.

When it comes to orders, the Hero you **complete** the order with will gain all of the experience rewarded. The experience from Orders will not be shared with other Heroes, even if another Hero did most of the work.

Example:

* An Order requires 5 executions.
* You first finish 4 executions with the Warden in one gamemode.
* You perform one more as Peacekeeper in the next gamemode.
* **Result**: The **Peacekeeper** will get all the exp from the Order.
	+ The **Warden** gets none.

### Rep & Leveling

Once at level 20, leveling up again will set the hero back to level 1, but will increase their **Reputation Level** by 1. Reputation is similar to prestige in other games. However, nothing is lost when your level is reset to level 1. Because of its nature being similar to Prestige, Reputation level is more important than the multiplayer level when observing one's Hero, as that is the usual sign of experience, or at least time dedicated with that Hero.

A character will gain Feats and accessible Gear rarity as they level up, with all Feats being unlocked by Rep 0, level 19, while all gear rarity is accessible by Rep 7, level 1. Leveling up also unlocks various customization options such as colors, symbols and engravings. For example, every 2nd reputation, a new Reputation outfit will be unlocked for the Hero.

Currently, the maximum reputation level is 70, although there are no rewards for each reputation past 60 because it was an oversight by the developers. however, by reaching Reputation 70, the Hero will gain the exclusive "Proudly 70" emote.

## Experience Chart

The amount of experience required to level a hero up increases gradually with each level. As a result, it is much easier to level up at lower levels than at higher levels; leveling from level 15 to 16 requires as much as leveling from 4 to 6, for example.
