Hordes of Hel Just Got Balanced - A New Extraordinary God Joins the Fight!
Hey Jotunnslayers!
As we’ve been reading and scanning your feedback and suggestions thoroughly, a lot of brainstorming has been done lately to find the best way to address your constant demand for making Jotunnslayer more distinctive and positioning it as an outstanding piece in the whole genre. We dare say the brainstorming session we had was so wild and fruitful that it hopefully brought out something big enough and important for you all!
Coming as a surprise was a deliberate decision since our whole team believes this is the right twist we’ve been looking for from the beginning. But the decision wasn’t easy - honestly speaking, it took a lot of courage... but hey, when did boldness ever come easily?
We are introducing a new, utterly fresh figure to the world of Jotunnslayer. Even though he may not entirely fit the Norse aesthetic, we believe he adds to the striking uniqueness of the game...

Lore
Born from the ashes of burnt receipts and the cries of overtaxed merchants, Karl the Accountant is a mysterious figure in the halls of Asgard. Legends say he can calculate compound interest faster than a Valkyrie can draw a blade and strike fear into the hearts of even the fiercest warriors with a stern glance over his half-moon spectacles. He exists to bring order - true balance - and painful audits to those who dare neglect their calculations and opt for mindless moves.
Karl’s Unique and Solid Abilities

We hope you find Karl brutal! Remember, even in Hel, the only things more certain than death are taxes!
Can’t wait to hear your thoughts! See you in Hel!
Cheers!

Karl the Accountant: The Balance Bringer
Lore
Born from the ashes of burnt receipts and the cries of overtaxed merchants, Karl the Accountant is a mysterious figure in the halls of Asgard. Legends say he can calculate compound interest faster than a Valkyrie can draw a blade and strike fear into the hearts of even the fiercest warriors with a stern glance over his half-moon spectacles. He exists to bring order - true balance - and painful audits to those who dare neglect their calculations and opt for mindless moves.
Karl’s Unique and Solid Abilities
- Taxman’s Wrath (Ultimate Ability) It’s time to pay your dues! Karl slams down a giant ledger, causing a shockwave of flying receipts and paper cuts that deal true damage based on a percentage of the enemy's total HP. All nearby enemies are "Audited" halving their damage output and reducing movement speed for 5 seconds.
- The Audit (Skill) Let’s take a closer look at those numbers! Karl marks an enemy for an Audit - scanning their weaknesses and revealing them to all allies. The target takes 10% more damage from all sources and drops extra gold on death. If the target survives the Audit, Karl takes interest damage.
- Debt Collector (Skill) Pay what you owe! Karl throws a glowing contract that chains to up to 3 enemies. Bound enemies are "In Debt" and take increased damage from all sources. If a target dies while In Debt, Karl gains a stack of "Compound Interest" permanently increasing his damage by 2% (up to 10 stacks).
- Asset Freeze (Skill) Your assets are frozen! Karl channels dark financial magic to "Freeze" a target enemy, rooting them in place for 3 seconds. While frozen, enemies take double damage from attacks, but Karl is unable to attack or move.
- Revenue Stream (Skill) Steady returns! Karl summons a magical fountain of coins at a location, healing allies and damaging enemies over 5 seconds. Allies in the area gain 10% increased movement speed while enemies suffer a Slow. At the end of the duration, the fountain bursts, scattering coins - providing gold to nearby players.
- Balance Sheet (Skill) Debits on the left, credits on the right! Karl conjures a magical balance sheet above an enemy, weighing their sins and debts. The enemy becomes "Unbalanced" reducing their damage by 20% and increasing Karl’s damage against them by 30% for 6 seconds.
