For Honor has today launched update 2.31.0 on all platforms, so here’s the full list of changes and fixes with this patch. Today’s update looks to be mostly bug fixes but brings improvements to a few key areas. The biggest and most significant of all is a massive nerf to Staggering Blow, bringing its effectiveness time from 45s down to 20s. There’s also a change to Shugoki, but you’ll see that in a moment. Without further adieu, here’s everything new with For Honor in update 2.31.0!
For Honor Update 2.31.0 Patch Notes
Improvements
- Removed Uninterruptible Stance from Demon Ball
By removing the defensive properties on Shugoki and its victim during the move, other players should now be able to interrupt it.
We also fixed a bunch of minor issues on the attack, which prevented players from blocking/parrying the attack when interrupted at just the right time.
- Lowered Shugoki’s Super Sprint movement to 7.25m/s (from 8.5m/s)
Feats
- Reduced Staggering Blow duration to 20s (from 45s)
