For Honor’s New Juren Hero

[UN][FH] New Juren Hero1

A member of the Wu Lin faction, a vicious and immensely talented warrior. Once one of the emperor’s greatest fighters, Baiyan was confident and selfish. After he was betrayed, Baiyan swore he would serve no one but himself and now heads to Heathmoor to prevent General Zhi from ruling over the Wu Lin.

Wielding the Fang Tian Hua Ji, the Juren’s fighting style is relentless, chaotic, and selfish, traits that all manifest in his four feats:

Feat 1: Expendables – Juren can earn HP and Stamina by killing his own minions, a first in For Honor.

Feat 2: No Friend of Mine – Juren’s allies become visible on enemy radar for 30 seconds. Any ally that dies during the 30 seconds gives Juren a permanent shield.

Feat 3: Last Man Standing – Grants Juren a buff for each dead ally.

Feat 4: God Among Men – All enemies and allies (excluding himself) take more damage, letting Juren stand out and thrive in the chaos.
