For Honor is a very Viking axes popular video game. The game is set in a world where a number of heroes and villains battle to gain power and prestige. One of these heroes is Skadi. She is also known as the "Black Prior," because of her powers. Aside from being an excellent swordswoman, she is also a strong warrior and a ferocious ninja.
Hervor

The Berserker is a character in the hack and slash game For Honor. It is the Viking version of the Assassin class. This class has a large stamina pool. With this, they can strike multiple enemies and mercilessly take them out. However, they are slow and heavy, making blocking attacks difficult.

In Norse mythology, the shield-maiden was a female warrior. She was known for her bravery, courage, and honesty. These women were not only portrayed as fierce warriors, but also as the protectors of men.

According to the legend, Veborg, a famous Viking shield-maiden, led an army of 300 of her kin against hordes of Vikings. In the battle, she fought against Starke, a legendary Viking hero. But she was defeated by Thorkell, the stubborn one.

She was later freed from enslavement by Ragnar Lodbrok, a king of Norway. He praised her for her skill, and she eventually married him.

Hervor became a warrior. She took up swordsmanship and archery. She also learned to ride a horse. When her parents died, she inherited their magic sword Tyrfing.

Hervor was the daughter of a Viking berserker. She grew up in a village that did not let children play with women. Despite this, she longed for the sword. After proving her courage, she was allowed to take it.

Before the Viking era, the Norse had no need to protect women from men. They were regarded as strong-minded and independent.

Women also encouraged men to avenge themselves. As a result, the culture of the Vikings included bloodshed and violence. Many of them focused on trade and ship maintenance, but there were also plenty of Vikings who did not focus on combat.
Nobushi

The Nobushi is a female hybrid samurai hero in For Honor. She's also a good fit for objective-based game modes. With her naginata she can stab, hook, bash, and even pull off a fast throw. This character is ideal for close combat and duels.

Traditionally, naginata are long weapons used by women samurai. They're double-edged and were used for stabbing and bash attacks. If you're using a naginata, try to conserve stamina to keep it going as long as possible. It's best to avoid blind attacks.

The naginata has been depicted in Japanese pop culture. A woman wielding a naginata is one of the most iconic images of a female warrior. However, in the real world, a naginata was more of a weapon that was favored by all female samurai.

Nobushi wears a gray knee-length jinbaori, an amigasa hat, and small sode shoulder protectors. She also appears to be wearing a mouthless noh mask, which may be a reference to a Japanese pop culture media.

Another advantage of the Nobushi is that she has a shark ability. This is a great way to deal bleeding damage. Using this ability will boost the amount of bleeding damage she deals to her opponent.

As for a weapon, the Nobushi's naginata is the longest ranged weapon in the game. It's a wooden shaft with a curved blade that has a Fast Revive mechanic. Use the shark ability to make this weapon even more deadly.

The hidden stance ability is another thing you should try out if you play as a Nobushi. It's a special stance that's activated during light attack animation. During the animation, your enemies will have to decrease their distance before attacking you again.
The Black Prior

The Black Prior is a heavy hero class that can be played in For Honor. They are one of the Knights faction heroes. Their armor is crafted of leather, chainmail and a kite shield.

Black Priors are also known to use a vicious longsword. This sword can be argued to be a bastard sword because it is too short to qualify as a Longsword.

When a Black Prior is on a critical hit, he deals three times the damage. He also gains 1d10 hit points whenever he's within line of sight.

Black Priors are able to perform a unique Zone Attack. Similar to a Bash move, they can flip attackers and make them prone.

Black Priors are considered to be ruthless and have an unhealthy sense of cruelty. However, they do not want to hurt other people. Instead, they want to avenge their past. In the second story, they may be trying to discredit a strong female character from an earlier saga.

Black Priors can be male or female. Their armor is designed to bring chaos to the battlefield. It includes a plate, leather cloak, spiked kite shields and chainmail.

They can be found in the Knights and Vikings factions. The Raider is an excellent example of this hero. Known for their fearlessness, this mercenary is an A-tier hero.

Berserkers are another heavy hero. Those who belong to the Vikings faction wield two short Viking hand axes. As they are dual-wielding, they are able to mix and match their attacks for more devastating results.

Other characters of the Vikings faction include the Raider, Gryphon, Orochi and Kensei. These characters are able to drain life from opponents and are capable of delivering death blows with their weapons.
Shinobi

A Berserker is a powerful warrior that specializes in swift attack techniques. In For Honor, this class is the most deadly. They are capable of mixing up their attacks to confuse and harass their opponents. It's also a very mobile class.

Berserkers wear animal fur around their backs and shoulders. They also have leather belts around their waists. The outfit includes a water bottle, knife, and a shirt.

These warriors also have a complicated move set. Some of their special moves include the boar rush, which is a type of out-of-guard mode. This is a good tactic to use when you're paired with a teammate.

Other moves that a Berserker might try out are the parry and the kusarigama. The kusarigama is a mobile scythe that is very effective as a throw. Kusarigama sickles have chains attached to them and are great for long range attacks.

Another class of ninja that is in For Honor is the Orochi. Their katanas have a lot of power and can be very useful when they're used properly. However, they can be a bit tricky to master.

They also have a few tricks up their sleeve, like their kusarigama, which can be a great mobile weapon for long range attacks. Lastly, they're also able to counterattack with a katana.

Berserkers can be either male or female. Some of them even join regular Vikings on occasion. As they're the most dangerous hero class, you'll want to have a few mercenaries on hand for extra protection.

In addition to a heavy attack, a Berserker can also perform a light attack. They have a head-slicing move that is not only a cool gimmick but also a great way to disarm your opponent.
Skadi

If you're playing For Honor, you may have noticed that the Berserker is a playable hero class. In the game, they wear animal pelts and a mask over their eyes. They are also armed with the Viking Hand Axe, which combines speed and balance. This axe is a deadly weapon when used by Berserkers.

Although the Berserker is only a playable character in For Honor, they are a part of Viking culture and the Norse pantheon. These female warriors have a very strong presence in Icelandic sagas. There is no denying that the sagas reflect Norse attitudes towards women.

Freyja, whose name means "sea-maiden", is a goddess of love, fertility, and magic. She also is the goddess of shamanism. Her main base of power is in the afterlife. The Vikings invoked her to protect their children, for good harvests, and for stable marriages.

Another of the Norse female deities is Frigga. Her hall in Asgard is called Fensalir. Several goddesses are referred to as Frigga's handmaidens, including Hlin, Gna, and Fulla.

Besides being a goddess of war, Freyja is the goddess of love. She is said to be the most important goddess after Frigg. It is also said that her husband is Odr.

Among the other important female deities in the Norse pantheon is Brynhild. This goddess is often associated with the Valkyrie. During the battle of Bravalla, 300 women fought alongside the Danes.

Another of the legendary women is Sigrid the Proud. Sigrid was a powerful queen who killed suitors. One of the most notable poets in the 9th century was Bragi.

Many of the sagas describing magical events are considered unreliable. But they do reflect the Norwegian culture's attitude toward strong women.
