Update 2.46 for For Honor Y7S3 has arrived, and the patch notes have some changes that will have a massive impact on how the game is played from here on. Although no new warriors have been added like the Aztec from the last update, Reflex Guard has been removed entirely from all the Assassin and Shaolin heroes. Now all Reflex Guard users will have to make do with the Static Guard like everyone else. Other than that, Medjay has received some nerfs, and other heroes have also gotten some balance adjustments. Here is the complete list of patch notes for update 2.46 for For Honor:
