Action / Fighting by Ubisoft Montreal
Testing 7 server regions
How It WorksWe measure the round-trip time to each server region. Testing uses AWS infrastructure for accurate results.Your ping may vary based on network conditions.
For high-accuracy results, we recommend performing checks during peak hours.
If you are into Melee-focused action combat games then For Honor is the game you are looking for. Developed by Ubisoft Montreal, For Honor is an action game where players engage in intense sword-fights. The game is not 'Just swing your melee' kind of game. You have to be quite startegic when fighting. The best part of the game is definitely the fact that you get to play as historic factions like Knights, Samurai, Vikings, and Wu Lin.
For Honor is a PvP game, and one cannot ignore ping in PvP titles. The game features a control system called 'Art of Battle' which requires players to be very precise when parrying attacks from opponents, blocking attacks, and performing counter-attacks. With High Ping you will surely miss your parries and blocks. Also, you will most likely teleport all around your opponent. If by any chance your opponent reports you thinking that your are tryin to get type of advantage using your connection, then the devs might even ban you. Try to keep your ping below 60ms at all cost.
Just make sure you are not connecting to servers that are too far from your geographical location. Also, check if the apps running in the background of your system are cosuming heavy bandwidth or not.
Fixing Lag in For Honor: 1) The first thing you should do is just restart your router and even your system. 2) Then run our ping test tool to see if you are experiencing high ping on all the servers or not. If you are, then contact your network provider. 3) Try to flush your systems DNS by opening CMD and typing ipconfig /flushdns to clear DNS cache.
If you are looking to play competitively, you should aim for under 60ms. Pro players typically play at under 30ms. Just make sure that your ping doesn't go above 120ms as it will negatively impact gameplay.
For Honor operates at 30Hz. Higher tick rates lead to more responsive hit registration. Your actions and how quickly they are registered in-game are determined by your ping and tick rate combined.
Use our Ping Test tool to figure out your latency with all the regions, and pick the one with the lowest.
Pick a wired Ethernet connection if you can, as WiFi tend to bring a lot of connection issues. Fiber connections are better than the traditional ones. Close applications that are hogging all your bandwidth. If you are going to use a WiFi router, just make sure you have QoS enabled on it. Trying Cloudflare or Google DNS can help in a lot of cases.
