The Black Guard

It's me, again.

This time I bring you: The Black Guard!



The Black Guard (although no one has ever seen under their helmet) is another strong character, that wields Nerotic powers together with various powerful blows to their opponents!



Chain Attack is one of their most powerful attacks. It resets its cooldown and charge after use, although making the power weaker with each use - still can truly turn a fight. (Although, when fighting small mushrooms is probably better to save it for a bigger creature)


Dark prison has huge potential in battle, as it essentially removes a foe from the fight for 30s. Helpful for a strong enemy to take a time-out, so you can regroup and take it on with help from your teammates.


This one is my favorite. It's not only an insanely powerful AoE, but also has a 10% chance of instantly killing any enemy. Also - no AoE damage to friendlies. Always nice whenever a skill isn't hurting your priest whos' out of healing.

Once again - I want to take a moment to thank you all for the warm reception to the launch and amazing feedback we keep getting on the discord. It's a been hectic so we're still catching up to all steam discussions, messages & posts all over. Please bear with us if we still haven't answered!

The Centurion

Hellooo there

First of all, thank you for the great reception we've had at release. It's been amazing to see so many new players and also get great feedback on how to push our game to the fullest!

That being said; let's take a look at the Centurion today!



The Centurion works a bit like a commander and has both a big pool of HP but also abilities to boost their teammates.



One of their basic skills that's always included - Hunt, similar to the Assassins death blink skill, this one teleports and deals a devastating blow, great for engaging combats.



Applies a buff & Invulnerability on self for an [amount] of time. The image shows at lvl5. As you can see in the gifs, it's optimal to use it at a very tiny amount of enemies & also they should be very weak. (No, probably use it in a better situation than that)



And my personal favorite; shields up. GREAT tactical advantage pre or even mid fight. Love it.
