For Honor 2.33.1 patch notes — changes to Shinobi

After the Shinobi were considered to be too over-powered during the latest Testing Rounds, some nerfs are required, making up the changes made in January 27th’s For Honor update 2.33.1. Among the top changes, an increase to stamina costs for some moves hopes to make players reconsider if they really need to use it, while Shooting Stars has been nerfed so it isn’t always used followed by Dodge Kick.

Here’s the list of changes, and you can check out the full patch notes and Dev comments at ubisoft.com.
