Even up to the moment she spoke her last, Apollyon never lost the aura of total control she exudes throughout the whole campaign. And now, years after the release of the game and more than a decade after her death in the story, Apollyon is still the master puppeteer. She never lost control. And that's why she's easily my all-time favorite video game villain.
She never had power directly, that’s the point. She was war, the embodiment of the worst of people. The woman in charge of the blackstone legion died, but Apollyon never truly did.
@@llsymbiotell the thing abt her character is that she chose an idea to follow and like that nigga v from vendetta said “ideas are bullet proof.” the character wasn’t the important thing, it was the idea. she’s pretty bland outside her main purpose
I can't be the only person that feels like Warden should've been the one to fight Apollyon. Honestly I would've loved to see that. A man with that had his oath broken by a Warlord that promised something good.
Raider probably would have tried to kill warden, since it was the knights who atatcked them. Warden would defend himself and one-shot raider (IRL, at least) and then Orochi would join end. Back to square one.
Can we just appreciate the balls on that minion and captain who attacked Appollyon with fuckin knives? I mean they just saw her 1v2 a PK and Conqueror. You know, heroes so strong that they can now down guys like them by themselves. They also just saw her take a dagger to the gut and just shrug it off. And yet they STILL thought "she won't be expecting us, we can take her" and fuckin went for it.
That’s why she let them join the Blackstone army, They knew they would die either way and decided to go out like a warrior and try to kill Apollyon, even if it failed they proved they aren’t just sheep who wait for their execution
In real life, a stabbed knife should not pull off from your body without a bandage. it might cause lots of blood loss to death. and make sure twist the knife after you stabbed your foes if you want him/her dead.
@@plaingamerful the threat of overpopulation and growing dull when three warrior cultures enjoying hubris and luxuries. Yes i can see why she'd want war.... on all sides. And i can say she acchieved her goals... she won. Not many "villains" reach them
I knew your comment would bring out the edgelords. An interesting, if delusional villain. Even Hitler and Stalin didn't want war forever. She has a lot to learn about wolves, too. They have strong social structure. They can be harsh, but they're still kind to the young, old, and even the omegas. That's why they got along with humans and became dogs.
I kept thinking she'd either remove or lose her helmet by the end of the story. In some ways though, I'm glad she didn't. Just makes us continuously wonder what she really looked like under that mask.
Filip Rebro, I think Sauron seems more bland. Sauron’s goal - take over the world Apollyon’s goal - destroy the weak(sheep) , reveal the strong(wolves) Sauron = evil Apollyon = war
@@checkmate9099 but we don't know much about sauron and I'm not saying that he is some kind of Epic character. But apollyon we don't understand her. For example why was she recruiting guys who tried to kill her, what motivated her into this motivation.
She's just that badass, no questions asked. It's not like it's inconsistent either, with her lifting people with one hand and throwing them around like it's nothing or stabbing through people covered in armor.
No. That's in her diaphragm, lungs or liver. Damage to any of those could cripple, incapacitate or kill a person. The third option is the most likely though.
being strong enough ti lift a man with one hand doesn’t make you resiliant enough ti survive a thrust through the liver. I love Apollyon, but how tough she is has nothing to do with that
Honestly that last “My wolves...” made me shed a tear, it was very well done, too bad this game didn’t have a longer and more developed story, I would love to see more of Apollyon.
@@captainvaughn663 Another one of these scenarios when you know a character can destroy another in reality, but in gameplay the character is a fucking bot, literally and figuratively.
I think the game would've overstayed their welcome. Having more would inevitably cause the story to be of lower quality. I think the Apollyon's time frame within the story was really well done she is long enough for you to understand key aspects of her as a person and an idea she represents but short enough to leave you guessing about her goals and motivation.
God I hope we get some variation of Apollyon in the hero lineup. Armor, a variation, or hell, even a new hero overall, I just want to be Apollyon in some way dammit! Well holy shit I called it
Thingy if you have the money, absolutely. (You get Apollyons ornament with the 3 spikes for buying early access, so you can only fully cosplay her if you buy her with money)
Emperor had to come himself for his rightful daughter soon after she falls, and give a Legion under her command. Not as powerful as mail primarchs, but i bet her body can heal worse than that.
She would probably be in a guardsman regiment or part of the inquisition with her longsword being a power sword. Instead of fighting the enemy directly she manipulates other factions into fighting each other and taking care of the scraps.
@@Ezonnor I agree, I also think she was talking more about her legacy (hence why all of y4s2- present day exists) and her general philosophy which was picked up by another (warmonger)
Valid, since Glads herofest exe has him propelling characters like Shugoki 30ft away if you send them off the edge. So Apollyon simply lifting someone? Child’s play.

Apollyon should've either beaten the Orochi, or someone on around the same level as her in strength and prowess like Holden Cross should've been the one to kill her
gotta be totally honest, this is probably my favorite female character in the gaming industry. It’s a shame woman aren’t commonly depicted like her, i really wanted some more of this kind, she is just too perfectly designed.
Well if you do read the backstory, her motivations arnt weak but interesting, shes been through the hardships of war as a civilian and through that she realized that the only way to survive is to harden yourself to war itself Whilein other games its only murder the violent ones who destroyed your childhood, she became it
She did win... as the villain. One i actually supported. It was obvious that there was overpopulation and all kingdoms were growing fat and dull. I am just glad all the rightious or most survived
This is where the fun begins I wouldn’t say rip. Perhaps if she goes for an execution where she cuts the arm off but the person being executed attempts to dodge, so it nearly cuts their arm off and as they’re wailing in pain, she drops her sword then rips off the arm after it’s been softened then begins to wail on them with it.
I feel bad for the warden this guy got screwed the most from being a mercenary and fighting wars that wasn't their business and being forced to break his oath as well as trying so hard to get his oath back but for humanity itself to screw peace and wage war when the other general wants peace too and its your duty to lead your army even though you really might not want to
@@daboiringtaildfuzwar7291 When they're besieging the fortress, you see her pick up an Orochi by the throat and stab him, which is very similar to one Warden has now, and a lot of his executions take hints from her more barbaric attacks, like stabbing someone in the gut, throwing them to the floor by swinging the blade, and then decapitating them when they look up, she did something similar in the first fight.
Wouldn’t that be fun? She survives and just hunts down more warriors/wolves to release into the battlefield...Actually, that would explain the Hitokiri’s inclusion so much.
When I first played through the game and got to this scene (19:08) it pulled on my heartstrings a bit. That Warden and Kensei saw peace was so close...but they were powerless when the tide turned against them. To see something so precious torn from your hands, and to know there was not a thing you could have possibly done to stop it. And even worse, to fight again...knowing your duty to your king/emperor supersedes that of any 'superficial' belief as that of peace; to propagate such senseless slaughter in the name of honor or pride, or just simply because a single human can only accomplish so much. This is what the world is; a careless presence, devoid of humanity or care. A hundred million humans will die, and the world will not move its unblinking gaze. And in our desperation to give our lives purpose and meaning, we give up our humanity...we seethe amongst the filth and hide our disgusting nature in the garbs of intelligence or unbending morality. That which we feared...we become. And so we kill. Kill in the name of our kings. Kill in the name of glory. Kill in the name of honor. Sorry about that....that came out of nowhere. I'm okay now.
I have never encountered a character written as well as she is. It’s amazing how she commands respect from the very beginning, and you immediately know how powerful and professional she is. I want to know more about her backstory, how she became so good at fighting and her philosophy. Brilliant writing.
if you wanna know her backstory it came with the statue pre order in a little note here is a reddit post that shows what it says www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/comments/5tr1le/apollyons_backstory/
One of the few physically dangerous female characters in recent media who isn't a girl boss stereotype or unnecessarily sexed up, but is actually intimidating and believable in her role.
Now this is how you make a villain and plus I love how she pretty much manipulated every faction into doing what she wants like she’s a puppeteer while the others are puppets
Samurai: It's over. We will have peace. Apollyon: [hah] Peace? Samurai: ..? Apollyon: So-what happens now. You all just--go home? [throws sword] You came into my home. And you brought your armies. [heh] What did you think would happen? Peace? That isn't how the world works. Don't speak to me of your virtues. Duty. Kinship. Honor. You forgotten what what you are." Samurai: ...You want war. Only war. Apollyon: All I want is for you to ADMIT WHAT YOU ARE. All of you. My wolves."
Of course, Apollyon, a really good villain trapped in a "meh" campaing. well, at least with the release of the new hero, the warmonger, we'll finally be able to play with her sweet looking armor. Also, at 1:08 She cuts both the arm and the head of that conq, yet in game there's not a single execution for any hero of any faction that cuts both, it's either only the head or only the arm. Hope the warmonger covers that.
In her last words Apollyon said “ all I want is to you to admit what you really are, all of you...my wolves” she knew that not matter what happened even if she died nothing would change there were will not be peace, there will be still only war, and we will still be her weapons of destruction , we will still being wolves killing each other I loved this villain and this campaign, it’s story and characters, all of it was my favorite part of the game and I sincerely wish that they make other campaign, maybe a continuation it would be awsome
She only lets those live who fight both with skill and determination. She kills her enemies who await death without struggle because they were too passive to even try. Those who spit in her face, fight to the last and struggle are fit to survive longer to prove themselves. It's actually quite clever in the sense that when she lets them live they feel compelled to join her for it, which in turn means she has all the strongest warriors in the land under her employ.
Let's be honest, you came here after seeing Warmonger be released as the new hero. And, lets be honest, the ending here is pretty cool, but it could be better. Now, hear me out. What if, the ending, the Orochi follows Apollyon up the stairs in an intense duel, left with no choice but to fight. As Apollyon is choking out the Orochi, the campaign's Raider slams the falling debris to the side, as they charge into Apollyon head first, in the name of glory in the face of Odin. Apollyon, seeing a true wolf, spares the viking, as the campaign's Warden, painted green and yellow in the color of an Iron Legion Baron, comes to end Apollyon's reign, and force her to draw her final breath for forcing the Warden to break their oath.
@@Hadras7094 I would have preferred if Apollyon had 3 phases, in phase 1 you fight as the Orochi, phase 2 you fight as the Raider, and in the final phase you get to fight as the Warden, finishing her off. Even though the vikings only arrived after Apollyon died, it still would've been pretty cool.
Brayden Pender yeah, no. You can’t thrust through armour, that’s the point of armour. The only way to destroy it is with blunt force, and any blade would dull and break before that happens.
I haven't seen anyone talk or realize about what happened from 1:40 onwards. So basically Apollyon always talks about sheep waiting for their own slaughter and that's exactly what happened at this scene, she only killed the deserters(SHEEP) that didn't try to kill her but those few deserters(WOLVES) that attacked her were spared. She released the ''wolves'' among the ''sheep'' Apollyon didn't kill her would be killers but the ones who were waiting for their own slaughter. Further in the story this also happens several times (Sparing Ragnar and Seijuro from their execution) Now that's some impressive visual storytelling.
It's interesting that she actually says "I am imortal champion, wait and see" and now there are people carying on her legacy in the form of the warmongers. She was right in a way
I like how we see clearly she isn't a God, she isn't invincible, but it's what drives her and makes her far more terrifying. When she got stabbed she just pushed on and it shows she's human, but it's not stopping her. It's so badass
She's so powerful and one of the sexiest villains I've ever seen. The fact that she's a female makes me even respect her more! The game industry needs more female villains like her.
@@ZuRekka i personally disliked her character. Having a character do bad because they are bad, isn't good. Apollyon in For Honor is the God of Death, if he/she was a pussy.

Well if you do read the backstory, her motivations arnt weak but interesting, shes been through the hardships of war as a civilian and through that she realized that the only way to survive is to harden yourself to war itself
Whilein other games its only murder the violent ones who destroyed your childhood, she became it
Apollyon = TheLegend27
DAUBENY COME OUT!!
She did win... as the villain. One i actually supported. It was obvious that there was overpopulation and all kingdoms were growing fat and dull. I am just glad all the rightious or most survived
DAUBENY! SHOW YOURSELF!
DAUBENY YOU COWARD!
DAAAAAAUUUUUUBENYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
" do you know how to tell a predator from prey?" "You cant of course.. unless you see them in war... 40... impressive"
Yep, that is what was said...
19:13
That's one of my favorite scenes, because the two commanders tried to stop fighting but were forced to.
13:00 that should be a execution for her since she’s the new hero
Literally had the same thought but maybe it comes out of the shoulder instead
Ngl kinda want a execution where she rips a arm off and starts wailing on them with it lol
This is where the fun begins I wouldn’t say rip. Perhaps if she goes for an execution where she cuts the arm off but the person being executed attempts to dodge, so it nearly cuts their arm off and as they’re wailing in pain, she drops her sword then rips off the arm after it’s been softened then begins to wail on them with it.
Same with her underhand decapitation she did in the first scene you meet her. That would be an instant buy for me
That would be bad, ass
half of the comment are saying apolion is hot
ikr
Aries how they know it? we can't see her face....
The way she acts?
The way she acts.
I think the Valkyrie is hot
I feel bad for the warden this guy got screwed the most from being a mercenary and fighting wars that wasn't their business and being forced to break his oath as well as trying so hard to get his oath back but for humanity itself to screw peace and wage war when the other general wants peace too and its your duty to lead your army even though you really might not want to
Steroids Honeybun
Do you know what punctuation is?
I almost passed out reading that. Punctuation please.
@Murv no in the multiplayer you can see daubeny in a throne on a map, and warden becomes the new lord of the iron legion
@Murv hmm you do make a point, the iron legion was daubeny 's legion and the warden onced belonged to it
@Murv Because he's a prick that blows all of the budget of his forces on nice chairs.
30 seconds in and I'm wondering why ubisoft hasn't based some warden executions off of apollyon's kills in the campaign
Cause they don't see good content even if they made it
Hey, it's me, from the future. There are now!
Troy Connar Morgan which ones?
@@daboiringtaildfuzwar7291 When they're besieging the fortress, you see her pick up an Orochi by the throat and stab him, which is very similar to one Warden has now, and a lot of his executions take hints from her more barbaric attacks, like stabbing someone in the gut, throwing them to the floor by swinging the blade, and then decapitating them when they look up, she did something similar in the first fight.
Troy Connar Morgan oooh
3:18 Gotta respect the Lawbringer with a sword
19:32 you also gotta love warden with kite shield and short sword
And the pk
plot twist: Apollyon survives and creates a new overpowered class of centurion
Oof
Wouldn’t that be fun? She survives and just hunts down more warriors/wolves to release into the battlefield...Actually, that would explain the Hitokiri’s inclusion so much.
And how you were probably right
The prophecy is true
She’s here.
2:32 I love the reaction of the soldier on the far right. Good attention to detail.
Lol I like how he flinched like he didn't expect her to do that
When I first played through the game and got to this scene (19:08) it pulled on my heartstrings a bit. That Warden and Kensei saw peace was so close...but they were powerless when the tide turned against them. To see something so precious torn from your hands, and to know there was not a thing you could have possibly done to stop it. And even worse, to fight again...knowing your duty to your king/emperor supersedes that of any 'superficial' belief as that of peace; to propagate such senseless slaughter in the name of honor or pride, or just simply because a single human can only accomplish so much.
This is what the world is; a careless presence, devoid of humanity or care. A hundred million humans will die, and the world will not move its unblinking gaze. And in our desperation to give our lives purpose and meaning, we give up our humanity...we seethe amongst the filth and hide our disgusting nature in the garbs of intelligence or unbending morality. That which we feared...we become. And so we kill. Kill in the name of our kings. Kill in the name of glory. Kill in the name of honor.
Sorry about that....that came out of nowhere. I'm okay now.
Sebastian Martin it's a game put on your big boy pants
Devin
When I play games, I don't wear pants...or underwear...but I do have socks on.
Sebastian Martin you just blew my fuckin mind
Sebastian Martin RUN! RUN, WHILE YOU STILL CAN!!!
Sebastian Martin Appolyon won in the end.
I have never encountered a character written as well as she is. It’s amazing how she commands respect from the very beginning, and you immediately know how powerful and professional she is. I want to know more about her backstory, how she became so good at fighting and her philosophy. Brilliant writing.
if you wanna know her backstory it came with the statue pre order in a little note here is a reddit post that shows what it says www.reddit.com/r/forhonor/comments/5tr1le/apollyons_backstory/
One of the few physically dangerous female characters in recent media who isn't a girl boss stereotype or unnecessarily sexed up, but is actually intimidating and believable in her role.
This is how you make a cool and scary female villain. I hope Disney and the makers of How to train your dragon take note for their next movies.
shut your fucking face
Ivan Colonna Shut the fuck up.
That would be interesting, a knight likesouthern mainland kingdom invading, spreading their ways of war
I mean, knigts and dragons, classic
Are you really comparing kids movies with a gruesome video-game all based on brutally killing your enemies?
pingu pongo, well it’s called, not being closed minded, and actually thinking about the concept itself, not the stupidly obvious details.
1:09 is she human? that fking dagger is 1.5 feet long and she pull it out and had a fking conversation like nothing happened
warlf
What does plot armor mean?
icarus 65536 Ah, now I see. Thank you so much.
No she's war.
it's hot lul "gotcha blackstone"
“War plus war equals war, but war has no end to stop war itself. There just an endless war to the world.”
-unknown.
Now this is how you make a villain and plus I love how she pretty much manipulated every faction into doing what she wants like she’s a puppeteer while the others are puppets
u missed one where she helps warden stand up after being knocked out. right after siege breaks the gate at the end of knight chapter.
her armor is badass
Your profile pic is more badass xD

@@michaeldavis29 Report him then tf is yt gonna do for him saying his opinion??
A fantastic villianess. Probably the best thing in the game. Love her design and brutality. Hope to see more villianesses like her
Of course, Apollyon, a really good villain trapped in a "meh" campaing.
well, at least with the release of the new hero, the warmonger, we'll finally be able to play with her sweet looking armor.
Also, at 1:08
She cuts both the arm and the head of that conq, yet in game there's not a single execution for any hero of any faction that cuts both, it's either only the head or only the arm.
Hope the warmonger covers that.
14:42 you could hear a peacekeeper in the background
PERI
That’s cause there’s one fighting an officer before coming to help Apollyon
sounds like apollyon saying HEY to the orochi
19:13 when youre trying to keep youre grades from dropping
Julian Peters My last two brain cells during the exam
You mean *your* grades? I take it those were English grades you're mentioning.
@@Vistresian1941 yeah
1:05 "is that my hand?!"
8:28 I honestly thought Apollyon was gonna come barging in
"Allow us to introduce ourselves"
"Knock knock sheep"
👁️👁️
Spingfire oh FUCK
And me DIO.. I mean warden_lord
In her last words Apollyon said “ all I want is to you to admit what you really are, all of you...my wolves” she knew that not matter what happened even if she died nothing would change there were will not be peace, there will be still only war, and we will still be her weapons of destruction , we will still being wolves killing each other
I loved this villain and this campaign, it’s story and characters, all of it was my favorite part of the game and I sincerely wish that they make other campaign, maybe a continuation it would be awsome
The way appolyon says hm? To punctuate understanding of what she just said makes me think of one of my old teachers or mother lmao
Finish your food, hmm..?
*brandishes a massive fuckin' sword*
so the only knights who survive the slaughter are those who tried to kill her
Her philosophy is "Survival of the Fittest"; she seeks out the strongest, so she can kill the weak. That and she's pretty much The embodiment of War.
she recruits people like a sith
"yes, strike me down with all your anger, I can feel your anger !" xD
Amnesix warden I am your father
She only lets those live who fight both with skill and determination. She kills her enemies who await death without struggle because they were too passive to even try. Those who spit in her face, fight to the last and struggle are fit to survive longer to prove themselves.
It's actually quite clever in the sense that when she lets them live they feel compelled to join her for it, which in turn means she has all the strongest warriors in the land under her employ.
It's also not so clever when you have an army of disloyal warriors that will try to kill her at any given opportunity.
"who do you think you are?"
"War. I am War"
The story is mediocre but I love Apollyon as a character. Shame.
Austin Woolsey
Nt mediocre,Good story,complicated nt flate and plane like the usual(Good vs Bad)
your mom is mediocre
The story is like the big lipped alligator moment only an hour long
I got really sad when I had to kill Apollyon😢😢😢
@@melissaaparicio234. what did you expected. she is so obvious villain, the only thing that was missing is Fake mustache and Fedora hat
Let's be honest, you came here after seeing Warmonger be released as the new hero. And, lets be honest, the ending here is pretty cool, but it could be better. Now, hear me out. What if, the ending, the Orochi follows Apollyon up the stairs in an intense duel, left with no choice but to fight. As Apollyon is choking out the Orochi, the campaign's Raider slams the falling debris to the side, as they charge into Apollyon head first, in the name of glory in the face of Odin. Apollyon, seeing a true wolf, spares the viking, as the campaign's Warden, painted green and yellow in the color of an Iron Legion Baron, comes to end Apollyon's reign, and force her to draw her final breath for forcing the Warden to break their oath.
I would have preferred to fight Apollyon as the Warden. The orochi barely knows her but the warden was forced to break his oath because of her.
@@Hadras7094 I would have preferred if Apollyon had 3 phases, in phase 1 you fight as the Orochi, phase 2 you fight as the Raider, and in the final phase you get to fight as the Warden, finishing her off. Even though the vikings only arrived after Apollyon died, it still would've been pretty cool.
@@titel9870 Cool idea!
@@titel9870 that was... the whole idea of my comment...
@@GussethSuggeth oh right, yeah, I have like an attention span of a goldfish.
Seeing Apollyon fight I kinda wish my warden could do those same attacks she can
Jason Smith and now you'll see your dream come partially true
Jason Smith, next month your dream will come true...
Say you swear to god
It’s real! An Apollyon based character is coming!
The next Era of wolves is here!
Peace is poison!
Tyranny will reign!
1:04 He took it like a champ
Dude does anyone see the fear in the Vikings eyes when having to stare into the eyes of warmonger
I mean apollyon
I wouldn't even try if I saw her and just fucking run.
That's the wrong way to try to survive Apollyon though.
She likes wolves, she doesn't like sheep that wait for their slaughter.
Ya it would turn out better if you tried to attack her
If you fought well then she might recruit you...
I would love to see Apollyon in Death Battle, definitely worthy.
Comment underrated
Apollyon vs the Mountain from GOT
@@lebonkerz5612 nah apollyon vs brienne of tarth
9:25 Apollyon can force a blade through steel plates, hell everyone in the game can.
Brayden Pender yeah, no. You can’t thrust through armour, that’s the point of armour. The only way to destroy it is with blunt force, and any blade would dull and break before that happens.
Depends on the strength of the weapon and the armor@@Timebomb_19
I haven't seen anyone talk or realize about what happened from 1:40 onwards. So basically Apollyon always talks about sheep waiting for their own slaughter and that's exactly what happened at this scene, she only killed the deserters(SHEEP) that didn't try to kill her but those few deserters(WOLVES) that attacked her were spared. She released the ''wolves'' among the ''sheep'' Apollyon didn't kill her would be killers but the ones who were waiting for their own slaughter. Further in the story this also happens several times (Sparing Ragnar and Seijuro from their execution)
Now that's some impressive visual storytelling.
And the Warden is recruited because he fought to the death against multiple blackstone legionaries in CERTAIN DOOM
"40? Well done"
Both the raider and holden cross: "excuse me what?!"
You could make like, 4 executions for Warmonger with the first cutscene alone
sadly they still put in the most meh execution possible for this very brutal and cool character in the latest update.
6:31 When you ask the smart kid for the answer
Still one of the best written female antagonist of all time
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
AleXizzed WOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLVVVVVVEEEEEESSSSSS
AleXizzed Pornooo
DOOOONNNNKEEEEEY!!!!
Ha
Ahh yess recommended after the Warmonger reveal
Xd
Izwan Amri yep
Brienne of Tarth got tired of everyone's shit
sandro ilpelato Apollyon would slaughter her
She's actually just the coolest and I love her so much
She is the woman we crave for a proper antagonist. She is a walking "Art of War"
Not like a schemer Sylvanas or any other one.
That first scene made a Apollyon more of interesting character to me. I still need to finish the campaign
The dislikes are from the Iron Legion.
It's interesting that she actually says "I am imortal champion, wait and see" and now there are people carying on her legacy in the form of the warmongers. She was right in a way
Warmonger: Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!
A fun game but it suffered from such a short single player campaign and the fact that the Knights, in their campaign, don't fight the Samurai at all.
Props to the Officer and Soldier who had the balls to run up and try to kill Apollyon even after seeing her murder an entire squad of them.
“They’re cowards, we must be brave for them.”
Why don't they EVER take off their armor? They even PLAN in their armor!!!
Simpley, they ARE armor
They probably even somehow fuck in their armor.
Kinky
**Finger guns**
Maestro Vadaak that would be disturbing and funny at the same time
I like how we see clearly she isn't a God, she isn't invincible, but it's what drives her and makes her far more terrifying. When she got stabbed she just pushed on and it shows she's human, but it's not stopping her. It's so badass
I want, no NEED, that armour set to be added for the warden class.
It's repurposed lawbringer armor, so apollyon clearly had protection in mind
Oh boy it’s time
@@Thatguy-hl9on but not for warden
@@Raposudo just better warden, thats who
She's so powerful and one of the sexiest villains I've ever seen. The fact that she's a female makes me even respect her more! The game industry needs more female villains like her.
Barış Peker I was with you, up until you became a feminist
Yeah fuck off
Well what he said is true, we need more actual good female villains like her. Not hero's, we have to many of those
Lmao I was like yeahh I agree.. oh wait you're one of those. Fuck you!
@@ZuRekka i personally disliked her character. Having a character do bad because they are bad, isn't good.
Apollyon in For Honor is the God of Death, if he/she was a pussy.
0:28 that has to be the coolest decapitation I have ever seen
I wish for honor to go back to unique executions again as warmonger can have that
@@ScCain1 there are so many good potential Warmonger executions throughout this video, but unfortunately, Ubisoft is more focused on weekly outfits that nobody cares about.
I love this Villian! I really wish they did more mysterious characters like her, no background, just all in all an interesting character.
You know what would’ve been great? If the boss fight with her let you pick between which 3 of the main characters you played
13:18 the way she delivers "and what are you doing, Holden? Is so good
