**Tiandi** is a playable hero class in For Honor.

## Overview

The Tiandi are loyal protectors of kings, queens, and emperors. Their name, which means “heaven and earth,” represents their lifelong dedication. They are masters of the Dao blade, the weapon of choice for this Royal Guard.

The Tiandi take an oath of loyalty to their ruler. It is an oath that binds them to their ruler for life. They are renowned for their courage and dignity in battle. When a Tiandi’s ruler loses their life, the Tiandi becomes a terrifying warrior free of constraints. They fight with the same dedication, but their cause is known only to them.

## Armor

The Tiandi wears a metal cuirass. Dragons are engraved into their pauldrons and spikes protrude from their bracers and greaves. Faulds cover their legs and is held up by a thick belt. A single decorative feather rests atop their helmet.

## Weapon

**Dao** - Single handed Chinese saber or broadsword made to cut down enemies in a flurry of slashes.

## Known Tiandi

* Shidou
* Ying
* Cai Qing

## Trivia

* Tiandi's armor is inspired by the Sui Dynasty (581–618CE) armor in ancient China.
* The Dao blade was the first teased weapon, thus was the first hint as to what was the upcoming faction.
* In promotional art male Tiandi is shown using the Practical weapon set instead of his default Dull weapon set. The female Tiandi however is shown to use the default weapon set.
* The name "tiāndì" means "Heaven and Earth" (天地), referring to the ancient Chinese description of the world.
* Tiandi's fighting style resembles that of the Changquan (長拳; lit. "long fist"), a fighting style that emphasizes fully extended kicks and striking techniques, along with acrobatic kicks. This can be seen primarily in Tiandi's Dragon moves and Palm Strike, if not also in some of their Executions.
* The execution "Yi Ru Fan Zhang" is a four-character idiom which means "very easy" (易如反掌; lit. "as easy as turning over a hand"). This is coupled with how the execution may be a possible reference to Kung Fu videos where the Sifu easily defends against a student all while looking at the camera.
* The execution "Feng Closa" (Wind General) is named after a weather deity of the same name who was the general of the wind.
