For Honor's closed alpha took place last month, and now Ubisoft has released an infographic that details a bunch of data from the test. Things like most-picked hero, deadliest hero, and average playtime are among the pieces of information collected.

When it comes to what hero is picked most, Orochi leads the pack with 30 percent. Up next is Warden with 22 percent and Raider with 16 percent. Kensei, Berserker, and Conqueror round out the six with 13, 10, and 9 percent respectively. You can see this and more information in the gallery below.

As for who was most effective in the 1 vs 1 Duel Mode, the viking Raider is on top with a 54 percent win rate. The samurai Orochi and Kensei hold on to 50 percent each, while knights Conqueror and Warden both had 49 percent success. The other viking, Berserker, is in last with a 45 percent win rate.

On average, players spent four hours and 38 minutes in-game, with those who started on September 15, the first day, holding an average playtime of six hours and 19 minutes. Most of the time spent was in the 4 vs 4 Dominion mode, which was selected 55 percent of the time with an average match duration of just over eight minutes. The Duel and the 2 vs 2 Brawl modes made up the remaining 45 percent with average match times of around three minutes.

Lastly, Ubisoft detailed players' progression. Five percent of players reached level 21 or higher with a single hero. However, what's really impressive is the fact that one player made it all the way to level 121, playing approximately 53 hours with Orochi.

Although multiplayer has been the focus of most of what we've seen about For Honor, creative director Jason VandenBerghe said the single-player campaign is a "full experience."

"It's a full story campaign, a cinematic adventure where you will play as the knights first as the Warden, then you play as the Raider, then you play as the Orochi," VandenBerghe explained. "You'll play all through three different regions; the knights' homeland, the viking homeland, and the samurai homeland. You'll go on this great adventure... We built the campaign so that if you bought the game just for that, that you would be satisfied even if you never went online and played multiplayer."

For Honor releases February 14 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
