People generally have the misconception warlord is good, but I can explain why this is simply not the case with logical reasoning and a few simple economic concepts. Now we first must consider what people generally use as 'evidence' to prove warlord is top tier, or sometimes just even good. Among thse are his headbutt, his full guard stance, his dauntless heavy attacks, his push, and his parry followups. I will address most or all of these in explaining why warlord is the worst class in For Honor.

Although smashing in faces with a sword and shield all day seems great, you have to be wary of your stamina usage. Warlord can get a few strikes in, but if you compensate against another player’s pressure with all-guard and constantly swing at them you’ll quickly become a snake in a fight against a mongoose if you’re without stamina. In other words, you’re going to have a bad time and bring dishonor to the All-Father. The Warlord is very much a “pick your battle” kind of character. You will be mainly taking a defensive stance and waiting for a strike to come. If a player constantly baits you into striking them, you’re giving your opponent a substantial chance ifor victory. A level head, along with patience is what will grant you a brutal, grotesque, execution on your opponent.

The greatest disadvantage of this class is its great need of stamina. A few regular attacks, not even mentioning the more advanced ones like a jump attack or shield charge, and the whole stamina bar is depleted. The player must rationally attack and constantly monitor the state of his stamina. Warlord's class abilities are mostly defense-focused, but they also provide some options for players who prefer to harass their opponents. Becoming familiar with these abilities will make duels with you very challenging for every opponent.

In terms of offense, the Warlord has two helpful moves to use. The first is the Headbutt, which can be used by dashing forward with and then holding down your guard break button. This is a special attack that stuns and delays the enemy, and there’s a combo you can launch into straight afterward. Headsplitter on the other hand is a powerful uninterruptible attack that launches a leaping strike. Try and use this move when your enemy is least expecting it, as landing a blow can be followed up immediately with a headbutt, and the attack in general causes considerable damage.

When you are getting relentlessly assaulted by an opponent, Warlord’s parry into shield slam is a real momentum shifter. You execute the move by quickly pressing guard break after parrying the opponent’s strike. Slamming the shield on the opponent’s head causes them to lose stamina and be stunned, making their screen blurry and unable to see which side you’re striking from. Warlord can finish the chain with a heavy attack making the entire sequence parry > guard break > heavy attack, which is an effective way to maintain aggression on a stunned opponent.
