Cultist Skills Highlight

[h2]Welcome back, travelers![/h2]
In this post we're going to be talking about our favorite bald character, the Cultist.


Now, I know we all are a bit afraid of bald people - but don't be. He's quite nice once you get to know him. Unless you're an enemy, am I right? Hahaa... ha... anyway...

Cultist is a bit of a glass cannon / support character. Although he holds a lot of power he still thrives while working with a team. Some of this you will realise once you get ahold of him in the game - so we won't spoil too much here...

Soo... today we thought we would focus on a two skills exclusive to the Cultist.



First - we have Choking Darkness.
This is a very powerful ability as it applies blindness & silence on enemies in an AoE radius!
However, it does not target friendly characters - making it amazing against a group of characters that are about to use an ability or hit a big hit on your teammates.



After letting my Guardian take the heat with a taunt, we go in with a Choking darkness.


Here in this fight we use another exclusive to the Cultist - Demonic Possession. It applies Charm ːUDG_Heartː, Rage and 75% Attack speed on the target.



As you can see here, we used it on the Papa Mush to make it help us during the fight. That Cultist sure is charming, aye?

This and more can be expected when playing with the cultist!

Just don't ask him where he got that name from... he won't stop talking about how "it's so easy to just recruit a few friends, and once they do - you get a bigger payout! it's foolproof!"
