At the same time, they aren’t simple copy-and-paste versions of each other.

The knights’ Warden, Vikings’ Raider and samurai’s Kensei, for example, all fulfill the jack-of-all-trades archetype for each faction and are great for beginners - they don’t excel at anything but also don’t have any real weaknesses. Each faction features various classes that fulfill a specific role but are also different enough to fit within their own niche. Once you pick a side, it’s time to pick your dealer of delectable destruction. Then again, it really isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Personally, we think it’s a bit strange to have to pick your faction right away when you still don’t have an idea about each group and its story. The main difference is that the group you choose will benefit from your exploits on the battlefield in For Honor’s cross-platform Faction War, which tallies War Assets earned by players across all its gaming platforms. Regardless of which side you pick, you will still be able to use and switch between warrior types from any faction. You start the game by choosing an army to align with: Knights, Vikings or Samurai.
