I spent 10 hours learning The Varangian Guard in For Honor to prove she needs a buff

I 100% agree with you and went through the same thing with her I want to love her I even did the training to see if I can find something unique. She's not my favorite hero but I'm still gonna keep playing her.

The edit is fantastic great vid 😮

"We have BP at home"

I love playing Varangian guard and I don’t want a buff because then I can brag to my friends that I play a bad hero

You mean nerf

I think the only change i would make for varangian is maker her have a bash to be used in combo and maintain her chain attack, but keeping her heavy as a finisher and combo end

And maybe give her hyper armor ONLY when she performs a superior block, just to avoid getting your punisher broken by some random coming up and attack you instantly cancelling your punishment (it might not be common, but when it happen, oh brother It's painful)

playing her a bit and she feels like she doesnt really have a follow up to fainting like i feel like a headbutt or shield bash type hit like how cent is might work well as a extra option

They need to get rid of it, I’m winning duels at 95 percent with vag that’s not normal in the slightest 😂

i just like women that scream at me in a mix between old nordic and byzatine greek

For some reason the newer characters are so boring and so simple in their moveset, the only thing in my mind that I would consider fun is afeera, she got a whole lot going for her, compared to the rest of the outlanders and VG.

Her offense may be vanilla but it's over powered in dominion. Huge hit boxes and enhanced lights with a very favorable animation. I love when a VG hits me in the back with an unblockable heavy from a mile away.

no need to watch the vid u are actually so clueless its funny

“Needs a buff” is crazy

great editing. seriously well made video

a….. BUFF?! ok tweaker

Was there really a female Varangian Guard in history?

it needs abuff

Tbh personally I hate the fact her blockade is slow like compared to my 3rd main musha her version of blockade makes no sense I rather play musha because blockade is way better for example the light after zone of zerk is ez to counter with musha blockade but with vg its literally impossible it makes no sense to me why they add another hero with a blockade that arguably worse then the blockades we already have I'm pretty sure bps is even faster as I can flip orochis deflect but or the light after zerks zone but vg is just mid

I just unlocked varangian guard yesterday and I was very underwhelmed with her moveset. I played with her in 2v2 for like 4 hours. I was so excited to get another shield heavy class hero who's focus was on defense. that's why I decided to do what you did and look to see if there's something I'm missing. from my limited experience with varangian guard needs more offensive chains she can do. it was very hard to keep my opponents guessing. and I think she would benefit if her full block stance wasn't temporary. how can you call her a defensive hero when other heavies such as Black Prior and Conqueror are much stronger at defense.

No buff needed.

Are you insane a good VG is actually untouchable unless you spamm outhkeeper

I spent 10 hours learning virgin guard

It took me three minutes and then I just played her for 10 hours

but why everyone put her in S tier if she s not that good?
like i don t see a lot of her, and i ve started to play her today, so i don t really know much about her

I think she needs another chain option besides light into heavy. She feels like a year 1 hero with a new look. Granted I literally just got her yesterday and played kinda bad becuase it feels so weird playing such a basic ass kit. Even BP has way more options than her. But like this vid I'm determined to keep trying her. Edit: against a turtle what can she do. Her openers are too easy to read and not fast enough to fight a good player that's turtling in a 1v1

For democracy song in the intro is insane

I got her 3 days ago and I’ve been enjoying her, maybe she’s been re worked since I’ve been playing not to sure.. just got back into for honor. Someone please lmk. Ik im late.

Surprisingly, she's very convenient and has plenty of useful tricks. When playing her I never feel myself fallen in a hopeless situation, because I'm always able to do something to my enemy.

And of course this is exactly the character that whole Russian/Ukrainian community has been begging for.

I personally like vg and got pretty good with her shes a simple but effective hero and i dont think a simple hero automatically makes them boring as plently of people like warden and hes super simple. Though with all my playtime with her she does get boring when im winning so much as i win most of my games with vg. I dont think she has anything thats crazy bs or anything thats super underwhelming like ocelotl prowler stance. All in all a decent hero who can become a menace in the right hands

You people are delusional. She’s a broken hero who makes a dozen mistakes each match and they can NEVER be punished for it...

A hero who makes mistakes but you can’t punish is the definition of a broken hero...

Seriously fake you fanboys. You are why people get turned off by multiplayer competitive games now... you aren’t even good at the game. You just abuse whatever broken hero is the new meta as you can’t actually parry or do good counters. As proven by your insane defenses for them.

Reminds me of Orochi players.

think its possible for you do to a how to play Peacekeeper? i just started and I like her design the most. Wanna figure her out but I'm slow and a rtard

She’s way too op in my opinion. I constantly see rep 1 guardians destroying my high rep team all because she punished everything, and even punishes our punishes. When she’s not going into full guard mode or using a crushing counter, then she’s spamming lights and bashing us when we try to guard break or bash her

This character’s whole kit is entirely redundant

I think knights need more hyper armor

I have a suggestion, lez buff varangian, orochi, hito, bp and afeera cause they need it

Nah the bitch is over power anyone ssying otherwise is def a noob... she got cc n didge recoverys and bash and best 50 50

Varengian has had enough love how about the conq? 😢

Bit late but I was talking to a mate and he said “if you can play warlord you can play VG” to prove we went into training picked warlord first then VG then he said play VG like I would with warlord and now I see their so similar to each other just with slight differences

I’m late here, but i recently got her and i honestly love Varangian guard, i get plenty of counter attacks and i can 4v1 way more easily than with any other character.

I think she looks like an officer. 0/10 creativity on the design

people think vg is bad? LOL

Start off with a bash light left or right unblock able bash and repeat

The thing is busted and I Hope she gets nerfed so I dont need to see her again.

My only problem is that there is no male option.

I like how your a Viking lover but you use a LB helm as your character

I’ve played the game since launch. I used to think that after all these years some characters destroyed the game until I figured that every character is worth learning due to the fact that they all have their flaws and also their unique ability to fit every playstyle. 2024 got back into the game about a month ago after like a years break. I kinda enjoy the game more than ever now. All characters are great and the game is blooming now with both veterans and new players. The toxicity is at a minimum (at least in my case) and it’s actually very balanced.
I’m just happy that my favourite game is still as adrenaline fuelled and epic and cared for.
Plus I love the community. My worst enemy’s in the game are some of the most skilled and awesome players ever. After almost 8 years, there is only one thing to say about For honor and all of you people playing it!
I love you guys❤️

Nearly three Seasons have gone by and I can now say this opinion just not true, you can be brain dead, and have an better experience than any year 0 or year 1 hero
