If a player is defending guarding too much, a guard break attack can throw them off balance, regardless of which angle they are trying to defend. A paper-rock-scissors of attacks, defenses, and guard breaks governs the engagement between combatants.

To strike, a player must attack at one of two sides that an enemy is not defending against (if they are even defending at all) and choose between a light or heavy attack. Players may adjust their facing and stance with the nudge of a control stick, maneuvering for a position of optimal advantage. If a player is readying their weapon at the same angle as an oncoming attack, they will block the blow. In this mode, a player can choose to position their weapon in one of three sides (left, right, and up). This allows a player to lock onto single targets, entering a dueling mode that changes control interface. Human players are encouraged to engage other humans over the weaker AI foes, as they will change the tide of battle.ДЇor Honor allows players to move freely about, sprint, climb, and even roll - but the most important action is the defensive mode. Player characters represent heroes of the battlefield from each faction, with skills and powers far beyond the AI-controlled infantry (most of which can rarely do any lasting damage to a player). The game is said to be set in history, and will not feature any fantastical elements such as dragons, wizards, oblivion gates, etc. The three battlegrounds in the E3 demo were a grassy ruin, a medieval castle and a night time landscape.
