New Character Progress: Dual-Wielding Combat Style

[p]Greetings, warriors! We've been busy lately mending the cracks in the Ascent (aka fixing bugs and balancing), but new content is also in the works. Last time, we shared the first look at our new character.[/p][p][/p][p]Some of you correctly guessed from the silhouette that this character wields a shield—well done![/p][p][/p][p]Indeed, this is a "dual-wielding" character, with two distinct combat styles.[/p][p]When developing this new character, we infused them with two completely different souls, offering tremendous flexibility on the battlefield:[/p][p]Style A: Broad, sweeping attacks with a moderate rhythm. This style maintains offensive pressure through wide-ranging motions, similar to a traditional warrior.[/p][p]Style B: Shorter attack range, but lightning-fast tempo with crisp, clean recoveries. Like a steady, immovable "tank."[/p][p]In-game, this character will have two combat stances that can be switched under specific conditions, each producing radically different combat effects.[/p][p]"Die amidst the cheers, or live within the phalanx?"[/p][p]We're currently polishing the new character's skill animations and fine-tuning their balance. Stay tuned for more updates![/p]
