Wild Assault Dev Log #44: [Snow Leopard] - An Assault Phantom from Lab and Ice
[p]Hello, Valiants![/p][p]In our previous issue, we shared the backstory of "Snow Leopard Anthea" and left her role as a cliffhanger. We’re truly grateful for your overwhelming enthusiasm—since publication, we’ve received hundreds of in-depth analyses and predictions. We’re deeply impressed by your passion and understanding of the game! Based on the concept art and storyline, many of you have made accurate guesses about her class and even some skill effects. Now, let’s pull back the curtain on this mysterious Valiant![/p][p]![]()
[/p][p]Hailing from an unknown past and raised in a laboratory, her memories of her homeland have grown faint. Now, armed with innate ice abilities and extreme mobility, she’s poised to become an elusive hunter, striking unseen across the battlefield.[/p][p][/p][p]— Valiant Profile: " Anthea" —[/p][p](Final in-game design may differ)[/p][p]▌Basic Info[/p]
- [p]Build:[/p]
- [p]Medium[/p]
- [p]Disappointment for the "buff lady" theorists.[/p]
- [p]Class:[/p]
- [p]Assault[/p]
- [p]The design synergizes with the intended gameplay fantasy of her abilities.[/p]
- [p]Nationality:[/p]
- [p]Unknown. Taken to a lab as a child, she has no memory of her origins.[/p]
- [p]Some lab personnel speculate she may be from Central Asia.[/p]
- [p]Default Weapon:[/p]
- [p]Rifle – a brand-new one![/p]
- [p]No heavy firepower. No sheer brawn.[/p]
- [p]Passive Trait:[/p]
- [p]Enters health regeneration (breath recovery) faster.[/p]
- [p]PASSIVE[/p]
- [p]Anthea’s gameplay revolves around movement and control. Her passive allows multi-directional displacement using walls, including mid-air redirections, making her movement unpredictable.[/p]
- [p]TACTICAL ABILITY \[Q][/p]
- [p]A key tool for initiating surprise attacks or escaping danger. She uses a grapple to quickly pull herself to a target wall, entering a cling state that sets up her next move. Imagine: grapple to a wall, kick off to flank, then… (go ahead, picture the possibilities!)[/p]
- [p]SIGNATURE ABILITY \[E][/p]
- [p]She swings her tail, dealing damage and creating an ice fog that forms a "Silence Zone" (skill-casting disabled). Deploy it wisely among grouped enemies to disrupt their combos instantly.[/p]
- [p]ULTIMATE ABILITY\[Z][/p]
- [p]When the battle reaches a climax, her ultimate turns the tide. She summons a blizzard around herself, gaining strong survivability before unleashing a devastating area-of-effect strike. Even if defeated, the built-up frost energy detonates early, creating a deterrent against foes.[/p]
