New Hero: The Afeera

“They say that when the Afeera attack, they enforce the will of destiny. If they come for you, it’s already too late.”

The Afeera are elite warrior-scholars tasked with protecting the Sultana, the Celestial Sphere and all of their kingdom. Recruited from a very young age among the poorest and the outcasts, they are first taught in the arts and sciences before they ever hold a weapon. They go through intense and rigorous training to make them strategic and lethal warriors who are always a move ahead of their opponents. They are light on their feet, swift, agile, and acrobatic—qualities borrowed from their namesake, the gazelle.

With the Celestial Sphere now destroyed and the Sultana dead, the Afeera’s mission has just changed. No longer will they simply watch the events of Heathmoor unfold. Now, they will help shape them.

Afeera joins Pirate and Medjay as the third Outlander Hero in For Honor! The Hero will come with two sets and will be exclusively available for purchase starting February 2nd for 7.99$ as a bundle that includes the Hero, one Ornament, one Elite Outfit, seven days of Champion Status and three scavenger crates. Players will also be able to unlock the hero starting February 16th for 15 000 Steel in-game.

Embody the Afeera, tactical geniuses of the battlefield. Highly trained and precise in their attacks, they can deftly dispatch an enemy with their mace and shield. Nimble and quick, the Afeera are also capable of impressive acrobatic feats—using their every limb as a weapon to fell opponents. They are elegant yet deadly warriors.

In addition to the Afeera and TU2 release, a free Event Pass: Twilight of the Afeera, will be available from February 2nd to February 23rd. Exclusive, limited-time rewards will be available during this time such as an ornament, effect, and more.
