New Champion Preview: Seraphine - Celestial Persona

[p]Greetings, Tacticians![/p][p][/p][p]Only a few days left before the launch of Skygard Arena on Thursday 18 September![/p][p][/p][p]Today we are sharing an exclusive preview of Seraphine, the new Champion which will become playable with the 1.0 update. This post will focus on her Celestial Persona; a future post will introduce her Avenger Persona. [/p][p][/p][p]Let's dive into her story, her spells and her relics![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Legend tells of Seraphine, the angelic queen and founder of the Silver Kingdom, as a survivor of the Shattering that fractured the world of Skygard.[/p][p]A peerless magician, Seraphine fiercely guards her realm from external threats and never hesitates to join her armies on the battlefield.[/p][p]Adored by her subjects, she ignites in them a devotion that teeters on the edge of fanaticism. But could she exploit their loyalty to serve her own ends, risking the stability of Skygard and the lives of her people?[/p][p]This is what some fear...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Our intention with this Persona has been to create a long-range Champion who can act both as a support and a damage dealer. She is very versatile, as she can heal her allies, remove negative tokens, boost their damage and grant them extra ultimate charges, while dealing AoE damage. However, with only 120 health points, she is a very fragile Champion that you will have to position carefully! [/p][p][/p][h3]Primary Action: Moonbeam[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Secondary Action: Blinding Blast[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Secondary Action: Angelic Presence[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Ultimate Action: Celestial Wrath[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3][/h3][p][/p][p]The Angelic Convertor reinforces Seraphine's role as a mage & support, helping her team to cast ultimate actions more often. It synergizes with her primary action. Combine this relic with another source of healing (Aiden, Raine Life Mage...) and Champions with powerful ultimate actions (Daerio, Na Jima...) and you probably have a very strong comp![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]New mechanic! With the Felden Crystals, damage dealt by your team will scale based on the number of Victory Points scored through Pillars since the beginning of the game. Capture Pillars, make sure you keep them under your control, scale your damage potential and end the game wiping up the enemy team![/p][p]This Relic is great if you want Seraphine to provide teamwide damage buff, but there's a more selfish option...[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Same principle as the previous Relic, but this time the whole bonus goes to Seraphine! She will scale twice as fast and can become the super carry of your team. If you want the Angelic Queen to shine, this is the one to pick.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]With the Selene Gauntlets, her secondary action Blinding Blast can also buff your team, especially on the first round when your whole team is packed. Later in the game, you will probably face some important decisions: do I apply Exposed tokens and deal some small damage to the enemy team, or do I grant Critical tokens to some of my Champions to increase their damage and gain some special bonus effects? [/p][p]Adapt to each situation and you will come out victorious![/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Are you excited to play Seraphine Celestial once she comes out on September 18th?[/p][p]Let us know your thoughts on Discord![/p][p][/p][p]See you in the Arena,[/p][p]Team Gemelli [/p]
