And another entry appears...

Adventurers, the next clue has arrived! What path does this hero walk?

Mage? Ardan already bends the arcane to his will...
Slayer? Kalen charges into battle, axe in hand.
Beastmaster? Nariel surely wouldn’t share her domain so easily.

No, it must be a different class...

Farewell,
SquareNite team from beyond the darkness of Darfall Wastes

Ah, greetings, brave adventurers!

Today, I bring tidings of blood, steel, and a hero forged in the crucible of chaos. Allow me to introduce you to Darfall’s second class - the indomitable Slayer. You shall take up arms as Kalen, a warrior of unparalleled ferocity hailing from the fabled Watermeuse Fort.

But don’t be fooled by his rugged demeanor; Kalen is as much a strategist as he is a force of nature. Let me regale you with tales of his abilities, his storied past, and the unique gifts that make him the bane of orcs and monsters alike. Prepare yourselves for pure, unadulterated carnage!

[h2]Abilities Wrought from Battle[/h2]
Kalen’s arsenal is a symphony of destruction, each ability designed to leave foes trembling in awe - or simply cleaved in two. Let us explore these feats of might:

[h3]Rending Throw[/h3]
Lo, before the clash even begins, Kalen takes the first strike! Hurling his mighty axe to a distant point, he rends his enemies, causing them to bleed, while those near the impact are left stunned, wondering what hit them.
A word of advice: always keep an eye on flying axes.

[h3]Charge[/h3]
When subtlety fails (and with Kalen, it often does), why not charge headlong into the fray? With an impact that stuns the first foe in his path, Kalen ensures that even the most stalwart of enemies feel the weight of his fury.
Not for the faint of heart - but perfect for breaking the lines!

[h3]Cleave[/h3]
Should your enemies dare to close in, Kalen’s axe is ready to meet them. With a sweeping strike as powerful as it is precise, he turns clusters of orcs into lamb chops.
Messy, you say? Gloriously so.

[h3]Break Armor[/h3]
Ah, the bane of knights and monstrous beasts alike! Kalen’s expertise lies in shattering defenses. With a single devastating strike, he removes his target’s armor entirely, rendering them vulnerable to your forces’ wrath.
Even the toughest foes cannot withstand the might of the Slayer.

[h3]Power Strike[/h3]
For those moments when a single target must fall - be it an Elite or a towering Boss - Kalen unleashes the Power Strike. Chain it with Break Armor, and even the most formidable enemies will melt before your eyes.
Truly, the stuff of legends.

[h3]Bloodthirst[/h3]
Should the battle press on and Kalen find himself surrounded, fear not! With each hit he lands, Kalen heals himself, ensuring he can fight on until the battlefield is his alone.
An unrelenting force, unstoppable and unbroken.

[h3]Special Trait: Battle Standard[/h3]
As if his abilities weren’t enough, Kalen inspires those around him with his Battle Standard, increasing the attack speed of all nearby melee units by 10%.
Lead the charge, and watch your allies rise to greatness.

[h3]The Lore of Kalen: A Slayer Forged in Fire[/h3]
Where hardship reigns, heroes rise.” So goes the creed of the Baneforged, the elite warriors of Watermeuse Fort. Kalen’s story begins in the shadow of orcish raids, forcing his family into a life of constant peril. It was at Watermeuse Fort where his fate changed, avoiding imprisonment by embracing the grueling trials of the Baneforged.

Earning his place among their ranks, Kalen slew a drake in the Deadlands, marking him as a true warrior. Ever since, his axe has carved a path of glory and vengeance, defending the realms from monstrous threats and orcish hordes.
The Baneforged:
Forged in hardship and honed in peril, the Baneforged are warriors of legend. Summoned to face the most dire of threats, they are as infamous for their bravery as they are for their origin - many are criminals, choosing this path over death or imprisonment.
