For Honor post-launch support continues. The massive Title Update 2.18 was released recently and it makes drastic changes, especially in Breach mode. The update has changed how respawning works in Breach mode. Attackers will now have an unlimited number of respawns during Phase One and Two. However, Third Phase respawns will be limited and decided by Ram's health. Full Ram Health will grant you 22 respawns, half Ram health will give 15 respawns, and critical health will only give six respawns. Respawn time is also reduced to 20 seconds.
The update also made changes to the Guardian. Now, the Guardian will spawn in Phase Two at the 2:30 mark. His respawn timer is also changed to two and a half minutes, and he no longer throws Fire Flasks.
