Surprisingly you can actually flip staggered enemies too, so Raider can stampede charge an enemy on to BP for a flip, same with Jormungandr's heavy finishers or Tiandi’s Kick. Didn't have enough people to test at the time though! The only thing BP can't flip is Nuxia's traps, because they don't technically connect with eachother.
I appreciate you viewing my videos! Go with whomever you like, can be anyone or any number of heroes, you don't have to specialise. Try the ones you like the look of and go from there.
Hey Matt I know this is pretty old but I just want to thank you and I want to say that I really appreciate your work. I always check out your Chanel when I start with a new hero. Definitely the best guides out there. Keep it up!
I find Regenerate can be very useful depending on play style. In Breach specifically, it will heal while standing or jogging, not while sprinting or emoting. It seems to heal quicker than the Bulwark heal while jogging around a flank to get a Quick Revive. Especially in the chaos of figthing the Commander.
I am a little harsh on Regenerate. It is certainly a serviceable feat but I believe if you run Healing Ward with BP then it's sort of doubling down if you take Regenerate also. Still there's merit to your scenario and if it works for you then stick with it. 🙂
Hey thanks for the reply. I'm going for a cleric/paladin build for my BP, and you video helped me think it through some more. I never thought of Healing Ward as a pressure tool as you say, I just need to work on my bulwark timings. Thanks for the hard work. ✌
@@TheVaughnenator Anytime, least I can do, you spent the time watching and commenting and I enjoy hearing others opinions. Love the Paladin idea, hope we get some armour to complement the theme. 👍
Wow an actual beginners guide... all BP guides seem to start with explaining none of the basic moves or chains instead only teaching shield bashing and light combos, this is very detailed and I love it! I know this doesn’t mean much as you have almost 10,000 subs but I’ll more than definitely be one of those as of now!
It's hard to teach a combo since this game doesn't have combos outside of Out of stam punishes. I'm glad the video was helpful and thank you for your support! :)
Very good video. Everything is described here, no need to search further. I keep your channel in mind for next character's guides (by subscribing of course).
@@MrSweating It flips a lot of things. Things I didn't even cover too like stagger effects. Raider can throw and opponent to you for a flip or Tiandi can kick one to you and you can flip them. You can even flip the flip lol.
Nice video, had no idea moral booster was a better option that umbral shelter, and honestly, I wanted BP to have a true knight feel that was distinct from warden but reminiscent of a paladin not freaking *DAHKNESS*
No reason why we can't have both! 🙂 Feat choice all comes down to personal preference, I want to give information on what it does and then make a recommendation, but that's all it is, well with the exception of regenerate lol.
@@Mattman_90 mhm! i watched your guide and now i'm really good with black prior! i killed a rep 16 o.O (not completely mastered though). the reason for that is because of your clear teaching and smooth guide. ;)
I still have all my concq muscle memory in me and its so hard to get used to this guy lmao. I still love him so far, the video is a good crutch combined with the training in FH
The video is designed more or less as a visual and audio aide for those wishing to learn a hero, the max punishes of course aren’t in the training mode for some reason so I cover them also. There are similarities between BP and Conqueror but BP has much easier access to unblockable offense and has better Feats where I would argue Conq has superior defense with a better all guard and option select.
I'm olseasd the guide is helpful to you. BP is a very strong character with good tools, most players learning BP try to use the bulwark counter far too often, my advice would be to pretend you don't have it for a few matches so you can familiarise yourself with the moveset.
Regenerate is like an on the spot healing zone. You do not have to visit zones in Dominion or the healing spot in breach if regenerate is activated. It does not encourage you to not play the game, it is simply an option to heal on the spot.
I'm aware I'm quite hard on the feat and I've grown to appreciate it a little more lately. I do think it needs some kind of buff though, the conditions on which it stops activating sometimes are a bit silly, and I do believe it's vastly more useful in Breach or Tribute than in Dominion, simply due to the pace of the games.
Thank you, I will be once they are officially released, can't have outdated guides. Be interesting to see them in the testing grounds and what exactly they do with them.
@@squakrock They're ironing out the creases. Cents rework in the testing grounds were good but it had bugs, also other issues like the eagles talon infinite in 4v4 and the woefully ignored kick.
@@Mattman_90 you are easy the best walk threw youtube gamer ive watched why dont you have more subscribers? Please keep doing what your doing you are the best by far thank you
@@Mattman_90 yeah I started using it to catch Dodge spammers off guard, not great but it makes them stop side dodging every time I throw out an attack which has been useful
Seriously it's just fun to use oath breaker in dominion, imagine working so hard blocking and parrying attack to get revenge and when you do get it, it disappears
I’m not very familiar with for honor so this was cool to watch. My main question is what sword skin or design is that? I’ve looked through tons of videos I just can’t find it
Glad you enjoyed it. The weapon skin was unique to an event that came out with Black Prior's release. It was later available for a week this year but has long since gone again. Maybe it will come back again one day.
In my opinion, the best feat combination is: Speed Revive, Healing Ward, Tough as Nails and Umbral Shelter. The best perk combinations are Bastion, vengeful shield or Bulk Up, and that last one (i forgot the name, but this one is a must have for me) Edit:The last one is Rising Dawn
I do like your feat choices though for me personally I opt for Morale Booster. I run speed revive in everything except Dominion where I find Sinister Shield more useful. Perk choice is good too. I like Rising Dawn, Bastion and Vengeful Barrier.
@@Mattman_90 thanks for the advice. Bp is a great support character becouse of it's feats and perks as well as a great offensive and defensive capabilities.
@@Washius Black Prior is a well designed hero, I still think a couple of minor tweaks wouldn't hurt though. Hitokiri currently is too strong and that's because of early armour and for 4v4 the quick cooldown on Senbonzakura. Jormungandr however is an odd case. 50 damage hammer slam and heavy finishers causing a knock down to oos opponents need to change, outside of those two things though, Jormungandr is one of the weaker heroes.
wait what?? His counter also works on drop attacks and hito's one-shot ability?! I thought those were the only unblockable attacks that can't be countered. Edit: Additional tip against spammers. If you manage to block successfully in an outnumbered fight anybody who'd try to attack you too gets a nasty surprise. Since you can use a successful block to enter bulwark stance instantly your counter is almost guaranteed. Since everybody uses lights most of the time you should take the risk to counter immediately when you see anybody attack. Any lights thrown at you will be countered whilst also dragging everybody else with you. This situation almost saved the day once when I played BP. My team was breaking, and being the only one still alive I had to fight 4 players simultaneously. Managed to kill 2, and almost killed the other 2 as well before I eventually died.
BP's bulwark also activates under other circumstances too, such as stagger/throw effects. As an example you can throw a character with Raider's stampede charge into a BP using bulwark counter. Your tip is very useful. It can be baited too so you're right to only use it vs opponents that are attack happy.
Thank you. 🙂 It's actually a colour swatch. A while ago there was an event called 'Realistic Dominion'. Basically Dominion with no HUD or Guard widget, play that and get the colour for whatever character you're using. They might bring it back so keep your eyes open for any mode with 'Realistic' in the name.
Hey so just thought I'd pop back on here and let you know that there's currently an event mode in For Honor called 'Realistic Duel'. If you play that with BP either against the AI or another player you will unlock the all black colour swatch. 👍
@@devilefty3814 It's what I do. 🙂 In all seriousness though, the light bash light combo will not work on more experienced players and is punishable, but if the opponent can't stop that particular tactic then there's really no need to mix it up, and BP has good options.
MightyMattman90 Punish him? Some heroes can't even punish him even if they dodge at the correct time. It's not a good hero, it's basically op. The reason is just because it's new and Ubisoft wants the new heroes to be op.
@@devilefty3814 Well you're not wrong some heroes have no way of punishing the bash, the solution there is to buff other heroes to give them dodge attacks/bashes. Every hero can block and parry though so a BP relying on lights can only get so far. There are a lot of changes that need to come to the game. I'm not sure nerfing BP is one of them though.
For Parrying light attacks, you would need to parry once you see the indicator. Heavy attacks require you wait a little before parrying. All attacks and actions are measured in millisecond (ms) increments. Most light attacks are 500ms or half a second. If you go into training, you can set a bot to use only light attacks against you to practise parrying. Once you're comfortable, you should have them use both lights and heavies and see how often you get caught out. Hope this helps. 🙂
I just bought year 3 pass just to flip every one with bullwark counter. I dont know how you do half of those move or what counter is and how to perform guard break and so on. I am new player but this hero or champion or what they are called is my favourite. I freakin love everything about him. I was able to flip two of the opponent at once and beat them just by flipping them I love this game. Edit okay I know guard break thats the X button on the xbox. I dont use it at all but good to know :D
I'm pleased you're enjoying the game! You'll want to start using that GB button though, it's core to your bashes as a BP player and you'll need it to impose mix ups and counter opposing GB attempts.
Tbh I feel like black prior is the most "Knight" like playstyle out of all of them. He should have been one of the launch characters. A simple sword and shield
He certainly fits in with them better than Centurion or Gladiator. For Honor was a completely different game at launch compared to what it is no, bulwark stance might have been too much back then.
@@LotteLattes Oh I agree, but the Sword and Board belongs to Warlord of the Vikings. I honestly would have liked Conqueror to have a morning star or mace over a flail. We got our sword and shield guy in the end though, if only he'd cheer up a bit. 😂
idk if ihas been added nowadays but did ya know you can bulwark counter some deflect attack :shaman,gladiator,peacekeeper. only berserker,valkyrie and shinobi counters that counter have a nice day ,A Salty Player,
I did know, I should have shown more examples. It's been a feature available from BP's release. Though I think conqueror can also bash Prior if the conq superior blocked an attack like Valkyrie would have to.
If you enjoy the character yes. Take them into training and experiment with the moveset. I would say BP is very good in 4v4, probably one of the strongest heroes in the game.
@@Mattman_90 thanks for the reply bro. I've been playing warden and I think BP would be a fun alternative to him so I'm not solely using warden. Thank you!
Wish I could tell you, there's probably a channel on TH-cam somewhere that compares these heroes to real life historical counter parts. All I could really say is that BP does not wield a longsword, Probably more of an arming sword or bastard sword.
@@Mattman_90 One BP managed to throw me on a bow attack in breach when I was playing orochi. I launched an arrow and they managed to time it perfectly and I flew what seemed to be 10 meters.
@@Mattman_90 Anything that isn't a guardbreak can be thrown, a friend of mine claims to have been thrown of an arrowstorm he used as aramusha. But I've never seen it myself
Flipping opponents is called a 'Bulwark Counter'. To do this you must be in bulwark stance (All Guard) and press light attack just as an opponent makes contact with you with an attack/bash.
It's practice. Ultimately you can learn timings from the video and I very much hope that you did, however practice is the best method of improvement. It also helps to pay attention to other Black Priors and see what they do when fighting you.
@@joeyfranks7236 For Honor is moving into more of a read/reaction hybrid of a game. BP's bash is hard to evade, I know trust me, but sometimes you have to make a read and either go for the dodge or stand your ground expecting something else. Light bash light only gets BP so far.
As the game is now. Black Prior is vastly stronger than Warlord. However I would wait if you're unsure, the testing grounds will be available this month where you will be able to test the improvements coming for Warlord. Ultimately though you should go with what hero you like. Fun should be first! My advice is save your steel until after the testing grounds.
It's what it is there for. By all means it's a good feat. Morale Booster requires coordination to reap the full benefits so for most games Umbral Shelter probably wins out.
I'd say US is much more situational than MB. US is more defensive in nature, often being the deciding factor in an otherwise close match. Saving it for the final push or a clutch is where it really shines.
I would argue if you only did shield bashing you would handicap yourself more. The shield bash is a strong move but like everything else it can be countered. Black Prior is built to switch between offense and defense as the situation demands and has the tools to do so. That said you shouldn't ignore any part of the kit and you should use what you believe is appropriate for that situation. If your opponent cannot stop the shield bash, then bash them. It's on them to adapt to you, not you who needs to change tactics. A smart opponent would see someone abusing the bash and punish them for it. You could make this argument for so many heroes, No shoulder bash Warden, or no heavies on Hitokiri etc.
MightyMattman90 No offence just a friendly question how can i adapt to a bash hero like prior if you cant back dodge the attack( back roles also got nerves) and also its a 50 50 move(get bashes or gbt) so how can i adapt if its a mindgame wich includes a decision wich is luck based like a coinflip. You cant adapt to an 50 50 or am i wrong?
@@irgendsoeintyp355That's exactly the point though. Adapting is all about reading your opponent and trying to figure out their playstyle. It being a 50/50 is good. If you could react to everything then that hero would be terrible. Look at Centurion, it's why he needs the rework because all of his offensive pressure is reactable. 50/50's are necessary, they're mix ups. Being able to force a read or reaction is how you open up opponents and get damage. Especially when blocking is so powerful. To summarise though it isn't luck, luck is something out of control, it's a decision you make in the moment that can decide whether you win or lose, but it most certainly is a mind game, it's all about conditioning. As for back dodging, you should be side dodging anyway, most moves are designed to catch back dodges, they're a spacing tool. Side dodges have shorter recovery too making them preferable.
@@famouscape325 Well imy philosophy is that informational videos shouldn't really go on tangents and be more or less straight to the point. I have played with some of my subs, hoping to have an opportunity to play with more of them.

I find Regenerate can be very useful depending on play style. In Breach specifically, it will heal while standing or jogging, not while sprinting or emoting.

When should you strike to do a superior light (e.g. you hit R1)?
Before the attack would hit you. Try to practice in training because depending on your character, the timing is stricter or more lenient.
You can tell he cares
Shh don't tell anyone.
How did you get that thing that shows you the time you can do superior lights??
In the training arena, pause the game and select arena settings, under the arena tab there's a box you can tick called 'Opponent Timing Feedback'.
It's actually pronounced "VortiGer" not "Vorti-Jer". Think Vortigern from Arthurian Legend. That's how you pronounce it.

Light SB Light, that's what u only need to get 99% of the people.
The rest of the guide helps deal with the remaining 1%. 👍
MightyMattman90 Yeah good job 😂
@@devilefty3814 It's what I do. 🙂
In all seriousness though, the light bash light combo will not work on more experienced players and is punishable, but if the opponent can't stop that particular tactic then there's really no need to mix it up, and BP has good options.
MightyMattman90 Punish him? Some heroes can't even punish him even if they dodge at the correct time. It's not a good hero, it's basically op. The reason is just because it's new and Ubisoft wants the new heroes to be op.
@@devilefty3814 Well you're not wrong some heroes have no way of punishing the bash, the solution there is to buff other heroes to give them dodge attacks/bashes.
Every hero can block and parry though so a BP relying on lights can only get so far.
There are a lot of changes that need to come to the game. I'm not sure nerfing BP is one of them though.
0:45 that fucking bulwark counter was fucking awesome
Couldn't not showcase it!
Hi im kinda new, when it comes to light attack to counter attack, do i need to hit it once i see the red indicator? or do i need to wait a while
For Parrying light attacks, you would need to parry once you see the indicator. Heavy attacks require you wait a little before parrying. All attacks and actions are measured in millisecond (ms) increments. Most light attacks are 500ms or half a second. If you go into training, you can set a bot to use only light attacks against you to practise parrying. Once you're comfortable, you should have them use both lights and heavies and see how often you get caught out. Hope this helps. 🙂
Nice video
Thank you. 🙂
@@Mattman_90 bro this guide is excellent 👌
@@betorc0751 Thank you, I'm really pleased you like it, hope it was helpful to you. 🙂
Woaaah 10k subs last time I saw you you had only 1k
I know!! It's been quite a journey. I can hardly believe it.
I just bought year 3 pass just to flip every one with bullwark counter. I dont know how you do half of those move or what counter is and how to perform guard break and so on. I am new player but this hero or champion or what they are called is my favourite. I freakin love everything about him. I was able to flip two of the opponent at once and beat them just by flipping them I love this game.
Edit okay I know guard break thats the X button on the xbox. I dont use it at all but good to know :D
I'm pleased you're enjoying the game! You'll want to start using that GB button though, it's core to your bashes as a BP player and you'll need it to impose mix ups and counter opposing GB attempts.
Tbh I feel like black prior is the most "Knight" like playstyle out of all of them. He should have been one of the launch characters. A simple sword and shield
He certainly fits in with them better than Centurion or Gladiator. For Honor was a completely different game at launch compared to what it is no, bulwark stance might have been too much back then.
@@Mattman_90 very true with bulwark.. but still a sword and shield hero seems like a no brainier for knights
@@LotteLattes Oh I agree, but the Sword and Board belongs to Warlord of the Vikings. I honestly would have liked Conqueror to have a morning star or mace over a flail. We got our sword and shield guy in the end though, if only he'd cheer up a bit. 😂
How do you get that green bar for the parry timing thing?
In the training arena, pause the game and select arena settings, under the arena tab there's a box you can tick called 'Opponent Timing Feedback'.
@@Mattman_90 thank you yet again!
@@dilly2047 It's what I do! 🙂
idk if ihas been added nowadays but did ya know you can bulwark counter some deflect attack :shaman,gladiator,peacekeeper.
only berserker,valkyrie and shinobi counters that counter
have a nice day
,A Salty Player,
I did know, I should have shown more examples. It's been a feature available from BP's release. Though I think conqueror can also bash Prior if the conq superior blocked an attack like Valkyrie would have to.
Could you do Nuxia next?
I have another guide already in the works but I shall focus on the lovely Nuxia after. 🙂
@@Mattman_90 😁👍
black Prior.. oh you mean shied bash man
With pancake flipping!
BP mains are watching this just making sure everything is as it should lol
Is that why you watched? Lol 😂
MightyMattman90 maybe 😂
@@captin-crane3324 And is everything as it should be? I must know!
MightyMattman90 lets just say “we are proud”
Tace Cortuum!
Sindon Cadit!
The sword looks soooo good
I believe it's the Black Priors Riposte event sword.
Just got back into the game after years and almost have enough to be able to buy BP. Should I unlock him considering I play modes of 4 people a lot?
If you enjoy the character yes. Take them into training and experiment with the moveset. I would say BP is very good in 4v4, probably one of the strongest heroes in the game.
@@Mattman_90 thanks for the reply bro. I've been playing warden and I think BP would be a fun alternative to him so I'm not solely using warden. Thank you!
@@snowshow53 By all means. Happy to help. 👍
Would you do a guide for hito
I certainly will. I'll add it to my list haha! There's a queue at the moment!
Does he really need a guide? Just spam hyper armor and lights with kicks. That's it. He's broken so you'll usually win everytime
I just got lightspammed into oblivion by one of these
But can you flip nuxia's traps tho?
Actually no, bulwark counter and traps kind of just do nothing. Neither one works.
Whats warrior is the black prior based on in real life?
Wish I could tell you, there's probably a channel on TH-cam somewhere that compares these heroes to real life historical counter parts. All I could really say is that BP does not wield a longsword, Probably more of an arming sword or bastard sword.
Black prior guide all you needed to say was light bash light as that’s all anyone seems to do....
It's why the guide is here! Hopefully we can add a little more sophistication to that particular playstyle.
very helpful thanks
I'm pleased it was helpful for you. 🙂
Bulwark counter works for ranged feats...
It does? I though it only triggered on ZhanHu's flame trap?
@@Mattman_90 One BP managed to throw me on a bow attack in breach when I was playing orochi. I launched an arrow and they managed to time it perfectly and I flew what seemed to be 10 meters.
@@Mattman_90 Anything that isn't a guardbreak can be thrown, a friend of mine claims to have been thrown of an arrowstorm he used as aramusha. But I've never seen it myself
Would really like to see more of Vikings like berserker *wink wink
But Knight faction is best faction!
Already in the works friend!
@@Mattman_90 awesome! I'm just starting to pick up zerk, also DEUS VULT!
@@dekd4969 Deus Vult! Guide will be up either tonight or tomorrow. 👍
2k already?
Somehow yes. It's hard to fathom to be honest. I'm very grateful. 🙂
Can anyone explain to me how to flip opponents with my shield? Need help asap please
Flipping opponents is called a 'Bulwark Counter'.
To do this you must be in bulwark stance (All Guard) and press light attack just as an opponent makes contact with you with an attack/bash.
I suscribed
Thank you! 🙂
Even with this guide I still perform terrible while using black prior, guess is a matter of getting better
It's practice. Ultimately you can learn timings from the video and I very much hope that you did, however practice is the best method of improvement. It also helps to pay attention to other Black Priors and see what they do when fighting you.

60% of the time, it works every time.
Hey punch through is useful now
I know, it wasn't that good when I made this video but I do know Punch Through is quite strong now. Hope it stays that way.
Vor gi ter?
Vortiger is the male Black Prior.
Ezrabet is the female Black Prior.
This could be summed up in one sentence... Light>SB>Light>Repeat until they ragequit
That would be quite the predictable player, the opponent should have no problem adapting.
MightyMattman90 that’s why I get so mad is because it seems like I should be able to and know exactly what he does but I can’t react or something
@@joeyfranks7236 For Honor is moving into more of a read/reaction hybrid of a game. BP's bash is hard to evade, I know trust me, but sometimes you have to make a read and either go for the dodge or stand your ground expecting something else. Light bash light only gets BP so far.
Black prior or Warlord ?
Because they look similar but I don’t know if I should buy BP or just start playing warlord
As the game is now. Black Prior is vastly stronger than Warlord. However I would wait if you're unsure, the testing grounds will be available this month where you will be able to test the improvements coming for Warlord.
Ultimately though you should go with what hero you like. Fun should be first! My advice is save your steel until after the testing grounds.
Make a berserker guide please
Already in the works. 👍
@@Mattman_90 let's go
Can you stack morale boost with inspire?
As far as I'm aware, no but I will test this.
Ty
Saved the my team with his last perk shields
It's what it is there for. By all means it's a good feat. Morale Booster requires coordination to reap the full benefits so for most games Umbral Shelter probably wins out.
I'd say US is much more situational than MB. US is more defensive in nature, often being the deciding factor in an otherwise close match. Saving it for the final push or a clutch is where it really shines.
@@AustroHungarianStrats wouldnt both be considered situational? I mean for the morale boost you would want to do it during a push
why don't i have a shield in the the clip bro Rep i'm high Where find bro
Sorry I'm not quite sure I understand the question. If you're referring to the shield on my BP, it was obtained during the 'Vortigers Riposte' event.
So now i can't use that shield, right I asked because the shield was beautiful
@@MinenamePL Unfortunately it's unavailable at the moment. Hopefully the event items will come back one day.
I... Still don't know what to do
What are you having trouble with?
The sad thing is you literly handycap yourself if you dont do just shield bashing moves.
I would argue if you only did shield bashing you would handicap yourself more. The shield bash is a strong move but like everything else it can be countered. Black Prior is built to switch between offense and defense as the situation demands and has the tools to do so.
That said you shouldn't ignore any part of the kit and you should use what you believe is appropriate for that situation. If your opponent cannot stop the shield bash, then bash them. It's on them to adapt to you, not you who needs to change tactics. A smart opponent would see someone abusing the bash and punish them for it. You could make this argument for so many heroes, No shoulder bash Warden, or no heavies on Hitokiri etc.
MightyMattman90 No offence just a friendly question how can i adapt to a bash hero like prior if you cant back dodge the attack( back roles also got nerves) and also its a 50 50 move(get bashes or gbt) so how can i adapt if its a mindgame wich includes a decision wich is luck based like a coinflip.
You cant adapt to an 50 50 or am i wrong?
@@irgendsoeintyp355That's exactly the point though. Adapting is all about reading your opponent and trying to figure out their playstyle. It being a 50/50 is good. If you could react to everything then that hero would be terrible. Look at Centurion, it's why he needs the rework because all of his offensive pressure is reactable.
50/50's are necessary, they're mix ups. Being able to force a read or reaction is how you open up opponents and get damage. Especially when blocking is so powerful. To summarise though it isn't luck, luck is something out of control, it's a decision you make in the moment that can decide whether you win or lose, but it most certainly is a mind game, it's all about conditioning. As for back dodging, you should be side dodging anyway, most moves are designed to catch back dodges, they're a spacing tool. Side dodges have shorter recovery too making them preferable.
Thanks
Hope it helped!
You the really deally I just started playing vortiger
@@famouscape325 How are you finding the character?
He’s a lot more than I expected him to be and I like how you got straight to the point what’s do you play with subscribers?
@@famouscape325 Well imy philosophy is that informational videos shouldn't really go on tangents and be more or less straight to the point. I have played with some of my subs, hoping to have an opportunity to play with more of them.

Nice! It's cool to know I'm playing with viewers!
