Tips for For Honor

Combat in For Honor might seem fast-paced at first, but to be truly successful you need to take a measured approach to each engagement.
When at all possible, stay near your allied heroes. Not only can your allies revive you, but a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 fight also gives you an overwhelming advantage against enemy heroes.
For Honor is a game of poise and riposte. When facing an enemy hero, you'll want to size them up instead of charging headlong. Fighting in this game is as much a psychological contest as one of reflexes and by staying calm and out of reach of your opponent you can force them into deadly mistakes.
When you've taken a lot of damage, retreat is a valid option. You can't always depend on allies to revive you, and it can cost valuable time to return to the battlefield from the spawn point.
You can fall off of high places in For Honor, and it will kill you. Don't let the enemy back you up against a tough place.
It's very easy to die a "death by one thousand cuts" in For Honor. Though the enemy's AI soldiers are weak compared to your hero, they have the ability to kill you if you are injured or facing them en masse.
