Many players in the Twitch chat asked:

  • Can I spectate a player who isn’t a friend? Answer: No, you can only spectate your friends.
  • Is it possible to prevent being spectated by others? Answer: Yes, but only in custom matches. (But again, only your friends can spectate you to begin with).

CONTENT OF THE WEEK


We got new white materials for all heroes this week, available for 10k Steel.


BATTLE OF THE MIKES


Finally the moment you've been waiting for! Who truly deserves the title of Big Mike?

Our Warrior's Den hosts wanted to try out the new heroes in an epic 1v1 matchup. The Zhanhu move gracefully across the arena, making dodges and parries a critical part of play. It seems Big Mike was no match despite dominating during practice session.

Klarissa had to step in, and while it was an extremely close match-up, she ultimately fell to Mike's blade.

Hit us up on Twitter if you want to see more Battle of the Mikes in the future!

Finally, a decent reader willing to dropkick me. Matchmaking is hard.

FOR HONOR™ - Ubi-RealDude
Hello Warriors!

In today’s show, we talked about our upcoming all Hallow’s eve inspired in-game event, Fangs of the Otherworld, and new content.

If you missed the livestream, here is the full Warrior’s Den:



FANGS OF THE OTHERWORLD

"Strange creatures have been lurking all over Heathmoor. Are they real or just bandits wearing masks?"



Starting October 17th, 2019, the Fangs of the Otherworld event is now live until November 1st with brand new content and a limited-time game mode!

Check out the trailer below:



ARCADE QUESTS

The Disir of Angrboda: A new weekly quest available for Marching Fire owners. Play Now from Oct. 17 till Oct. 24th.

Burning Embers: Another quest available for Marching Fire Owners. Play from Oct. 24 till Oct. 31st.



Burning Embers Arcade Quest

COMMUNITY ORDERS

Be the faction with the most victories in the new game mode, Spooky Slashers!

  • 1st Place - 2,000 Steel + Event Symbol
  • 2nd Place - 1,000 Steel + Event Symbol
  • 3rd Place - 500 Steel + Event Symbol

Available from 10/17/2019 16:30 UTC to 11/1/2019 13:00 UTC.

SPOOKY COSMETICS

Get into the Halloween spirit as soon as you boot up the game with an all new themed background! With bats flying about and an old school VHS effect, it’s the perfect compliment for our new themed soldiers: Vampires, Onis, and Werewolves!



New Soldiers: Vampire, Oni and Werewolf

And when you log in to play during the event, you’ll also be greeted with these custom themed emblem outlines for free.





The treats don’t stop there! For a limited time, we have a Fangs of the Otherworld bundle available for 45,000 steel.



Save big with this Spooky Bundle

This bundle contains a host of fangtastic cosmetic effects, including:

  • Diabolical new executions (according to the hero's faction)
  • Illustrious outfits (Ghoulish Fate & Lycan, available for every faction)
  • New battle outfit (Apotropaic)
  • Themed effects (Apotropaic Ritual; Idle, Emote, Execution)
  • Unique ornament (Apotropaic Charm)

These goodies are only unlockable from Oct. 17th to Nov. 4th!



Battle Outfit: Apotropaic


Ornament: Apotropaic Charm



Outfit: Ghoulish Fate



Outfit: Lycan

You can also pick up each one separately instead of opting for the bundle, purchasable in-game with steel.

NEW WEAPONS
Each faction has new weapons themed for the event. The Samurai sword, for example, has demons engraved on the handle.

The new weapons can be looted during the event. For a detailed look at each weapon, check out this part of the Livestream:



ENDLESS MARCH MAP
We worked and improved on last year’s version…then lit it on fire!



Green flaming pumpkin heads can be found throughout, as well as a huge, ominous green vortex in the sky. But don’t worry! Green fire is magical (of course), and won’t harm you if you touch it. Just be careful when crossing the bridge, as the red flames can still damage you.

SPECIAL GAME MODE: SPOOKY SLASHERS
Spooky Slashers is a variation on Dominion mode, but with huge buffs to minions. They got a big damage boost and they’re also much harder to kill, because what’s spookier than a nigh unstoppable minion?

They’re also the main way to acquire points in Spooky Splashers! 5 points for each minion you slay.

How to Dominate Minions



Minions Are Deadlier than Ever...



And nigh unstoppable!



But capturing points will give you a defensive shield bonus...



And make you stronger than ever...



So you can slay minions and collect points!


Getting the shield is key, as it has 2 effects: first, you’ll reduce damage taken by minions; and second, you’ll increase your damage output against minions. So be sure to capture!

To win, get 1,000 points to Break and Kill the enemy.

Fangs of the Otherworld is available to play for a limited time only! Jump in to reap all these epic rewards:

FOR HONOR™ - [UBI]Insulin
Starting today, Fangs of the Otherworld, For Honor’s limited-time Halloween event, is available to all players. The event features a fang-tastic new game mode, spooky Halloween-themed loot, and even more ghastly goods. Fangs of the Otherworld comes to an end on November 1, so don’t hesitate to jump in if you want in on the most hair-raising event of the year.



The new mode, Spooky Slashers, is a variation on Dominion mode. Here, players capture zones to gain special boosts, which they can use to slay the frightening demons lurking throughout the map. Players will need to keep their wits about them, as danger lurks around every corner, and dying means losing any boosts.



Players can earn Halloween-themed loot through random drops at the end of all matches until the event ends. Loot takes the form of themed Battle Outfits, terrifying effects, and haunting weapons. Additionally, players can purchase yikes-inducing executions and jack-o’-lantern inspired effects. The Apotropaic outfit, as well as two new chilling illustrious outfits, are available for all Heroes. All event-themed loot can be unlocked for each Hero by purchasing their corresponding Fangs of the Otherworld item bundle until November 4.
