For better or (for) worse, For Honor stays in my ever-rotating carousel of games. Somehow it always draws me back in. Maybe it’s the sweet armor fashion, or the bone-crunching, blood-spattering executions. More often than not though, it’s because a new hero dropped, which brings me to the Ocelotl.

For Honor’s newest hero is an Aztecian warrior dual-wielding a club and a spear. There are plenty of heroes with two weapons, but this is the first who dual-wields two different offensive weapons, and I think that’s extremely badass. Ocelotl seems to be a very mix-up-friendly hero with tons of options to apply pressure. Perhaps the most exciting aspect to this hero will be the fashion capabilities. You’ll find me browsing r/ForFashion consistently once people start unlocking new armor options.

If there’s one part of For Honor that always delivers, it’s the art and design team. They clearly poured their heart and soul into Ocelotl’s armor, and I cannot wait to spend hours (and probably money) on all the countless fashion options. Will it translate to me winning? Probably not. But at least I’ll look fly as fuck while my face is getting clubbed to pulp. — Jeb Biggart
