For Honor is a medieval melee action game released by Ubisoft in 2017, pitting knights, Vikings and samurai against each other in close-quarters duels. The Berserker is a Viking hero who fights with two short axes and relies on speed, aggression and well-timed defences rather than heavy armour. A deflect in the game rewards dodging into an attack at the right moment, opening the opponent to a counter. Clips of that moment are shared in gameplay videos and edits because the sound instantly tells viewers a skilled defensive play has just happened.
