New Support Hero & Guide!

[h2]Greetings heroes![/h2]

We are excited to announce that we are adding 3 new heroes to the roster! This means that for the next demo you’ll have access to 2 support, 2 tank and 2 DPS characters.

This week we’ll be looking at the new support hero and their playstyle.



[h2]Beko: The Spirit Healer[/h2]

Slightly mysterious with their mask but also utterly adorable, it is said that Beko is secretly a powerful ancient spirit of rejuvenation! Coming from an actual swimming giga-turtle island we call Moxy, Beko is a powerful healer using a mystical lantern to keep their allies safe!

Beko is your more traditional healer, focusing on keeping allies and themselves out of harm’s way by using ranged attacks, crowd control and healing abilities.

Don’t enjoy being close to enemies and want allies to be at your mercy? Then Beko is your guy!!



[h2]Support style[/h2]

Beko is all about positioning their lantern. Beko has the unique ability to move their lantern to an ally and back to themselves at will. Whoever holds the lantern will get healed when enemies are slain close to them but will also function as a platform from which Beko can cast heals and push enemies!

What distinguishes a good from a great Beko player is not only the ability to keep yourself out of harm's way but also being able to keep track of who has the lantern and switching this up during a fight to make the most out of your abilities.

With Beko being a lot more squishier than Lotus and having higher healing values it can be a good idea to look for shards that boost survivability, boost the abilities of your allies - or go crazy and turn healing into damage, the choice is yours!

Compare this to Lotus, our take on a paladin arch-type, who heals by being part of the action and you get two completely different takes on playing a support within the game!

What is your support style?
