Nuxia

Nuxia is a playable hero class in For Honor.

OverviewEdit

Nuxia was the name given to female bodyguards during the civil war. These skilled slayers usually roam the battlefield on their own terms, clawing and gutting prey with their hook swords.

ArmorEdit

The default armor consists of a metal cuirass with cloth and lamellar faulds held together by a belt. Sleek metal pauldrons, rerebraces, and bracers leave very little unprotected on the arms. They also wear a headband on their head.

WeaponEdit

Hook Swords- Versatile swords that possess a standard sword blade, but feature unique bladed guards, and hooks at the tip of their blades.

Fighting StyleEdit

The Nuxia is an agile fighter wielding dual hookswords. She has great abilities to isolate opponents into a duel situation, and then uses a barrage of attacks to strike them down. She can take advantage of defensive opponents, using her offensive "Trap" ability to take down enemies who are blocking or parrying.

Special CapabilitiesEdit

• Trap: special attack type that only succeeds when the opponent blocks/parries/deflects; misses in all other cases
