Re: [Aztec Warrior](/topic/167163/aztec-warrior)
Hello to anyone reading this. I would like to ask for a Mesoamerican Warrior. These are just ideas for the hero and I am just too excited with the idea.
Combat: The Hero would wield a Macuahuitl (an obsidian bladed wooden bat/sword) and a Chimalli (Shield). The Chimalli has long feathers hanging from its bottom. The Warrior could use the feathered shield to hide his attacks during combat, during chains (Soft-feints). The Macuahuitl does not have a sharp point at its top, so thrusts could be used as a forward bash. Other wide bashes are possible with the flat side of the Macuahuitl and the shield. All bashes do 5 or 10 damage. This could help with anti-ganking. A Zone Attack that is a bash and can hit multiple opponents at once followed by regular lights and heavies. All attacks -- bashes, lights, heavies, zones attacks -- can chain into each other (no limitations in chains). Anyway, this will be the unique part of the Warrior's moveset, many bashes that can hit multiple opponents and infinite chains like Centurion! ok... the idea sounds a bit rough but so are all the other heroes. Let's continue! Also, the Macuahuitl can do bleed damage due to its obsidian blades, so lights and heavies do bleed damage. Light attacks do 10 damage with 6 bleed. Heavy attacks do 20 damage with 4 or 6 bleed. This way the Warrior can still get executions (kinda hard with Peacekeeper). Dodge attacks do 10 damage with 6 bleed. This is just a random thought, but Pirate has a gun with infinite ammo. So the obsidian blades of the macuahuitl should not break off during combat. Please. Let the obsidian shards believe they are indestructible. This Warrior will become the master of bleed.
Combat Style: The Warrior would be ferocious in his movements for the love of battle, worshiping their God of War. Warrior being an "offense is the better defense" kind of fighter. Imagine a mix of Gladiator, Centurion, Shaman, and Black Prior in terms of fighting style not necessarily moveset. Or maybe its a bad image. Point is, the Warrior will choose offense over defense. A Hybrid type perhaps. The Warrior seeks to debilitate their opponents and sacrifice/execute them alive.
With new animations the Hero will look and feel very unique. There is a YouTube video of a guy explaining how to fight with a Chimalli and Macuahuitl. it might be Speculation but I like it nonetheless: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3rxAToSZhJaVt4GEU4TD2iglfJWv2tIM
Here is a link to making the Macuahuitl YT video:
Random Feat Ideas: Aztec Death Whistle: gain damage reduction while lowering enemy defenses. Bow and Arrow. Centurions March: infinite stamina for a short duration. Sacrifice: gain uninterruptible stance while executing. War Gods Favor: Passive damage buffs for bleeding enemies. Rain of Arrows. Arrow strike. Obsidian tipped spears: throw or send a volley of spears (like highlander). Bashes do damage passive ability. Thick Skin. Blow Dart? Poisonous traps -- perhaps poisonous frogs or something idk.
The Customization would be INSANE! Like Meyjay, the Warrior could dress as its Gods and embody them. One moment Huitzilopochtli, the next moment Kulkulkan. Imagine the Warrior during battle with reflective-green plumes of feathers flowing with each strike. Colorful and Vibrant. A massive head-dress pulsing with every movement. Skulls, Colorful Colors, Animals Pelts (Jaguar, Eagle, Snakes) could be used in the customization: Tattoos, Face-paint, and Jewelry (Jade, Gold, Silver) too! There is an armor called Ichcahuipilli the Mesoamericans used. It was very effective during the war against the Spanish Conquistadors and its just plain cool. it was usually colored over or customized with feathers of colorful birds and animal pelts.
Some of the Executions could be Sacrifices with an obsidian knife. Who knows, Shaman and the Mesoamerican Warrior could be rivals! All I know is that the executions would be MORE than Brutal. Perhaps a heart out. Use the Macuahuitl to hack and slash, or even Execute by knocking out the opponent to sacrifice later. Grab the opponent by the hair and be the head them.
The Story: could be, Shamans wandering the edge of the woods (being insane as usual) run into an Aztec or Mayan or Zapotec squad and a battle ensues. The Shamans realize their outnumbered and run back to Valkenhiem. The Mesoamerican Warriors follow and are determined to capture their attackers and sacrifice them to their Gods. Horkos sees this and offer the Warriors to join. The Mesoamerican Warriors either join or they attack Horkos. Eventually, leading to the Warriors staying in Heathmore, Valkenhiem, and the Myre. The Cataclysm brought Japan and Europe together... I don't see why North America can't be close too. 🙂
Conclusion: So for anyone still reading this, Thank You and Please help this Mesoamerican Warrior idea get to the For Honor people/devs. I've fallen in love with the idea and I know it might not happen but screw it, I might as well try. I saw another person asking for the same Hero idea and it gave me hope. Anyway, I wish everyone a magnificent day and I wish you Luck on your following matches of For Honor.
P.S. Remember to take a break if you're in a horrible match. We've all been there 😞 Or watch Faraam and copy what he does. I know I do. 😉
Competitive but unbalanced game, vikings always get weaker but don't change japanese
