Initial Early Access Character Previews
Hello to all of our fellow denizens of Gloomhaven!
So much has been happening over the past months, we dove deep into the development of Gloomhaven and spoke with the developers through Q&As and even a "Making of" video—we are looking to create an episode two in the near future due to interest in the previous one!
Amongst all of this content we've also released information on both our Facebook Group and Discord Server that have caught the attention of the community; more specifically, character reveals! We're excited to talk with you today about the four characters that will be released with the Early Access Roguelike mode.
The Cragheart is the one that throws rocks and makes explosions! But it is so much more than that in Gloomhaven.
The Cragheart is one of the most versatile classes in the entirety of Gloomhaven and can play a variety of playstyles—a frontline tank, utility through heals and crowd control, or even an AoE damage dealer. Take advantage of the Cragheart's flexibility to complement basically any team, but watch out for its AoE skills which are capable of dealing friendly fire damage!
As such a versatile class, capable of so many ways to play, it is perfect for players of any skill level.
The Spellweaver is the most well-rounded mage in the game, but at the same time the most complicated of the starting characters. Like the Cragheart, she is very versatile, able to be played as a ranged glass cannon, a support/utility character, or even a mix. She has a low health pool, meaning you always want to keep her far from the fight, but has some key abilities to help with this. She is capable of preventing damage, healing and even summoning minions.
As a high damage character with lots of cool single target and AoE abilities, as well as the capability to heal and support, she works well in any group to round out the team.
The Brute is your team's powerhouse. He is a straightforward character that makes him easy to understand and enjoy for any new player. He has a high health pool and massive single target damage which, at later levels, can pierce through armor! This makes him capable of hitting hard, but also have the ability to take heavy hits in return.
With all of these traits added together, they make him an optimal starting character that can be used for taking down even the tankiest of opponents.
The Scoundrel is a guerrilla-style assassin—she gets in range to deal as much damage as possible, then gets out just as quick with stealth abilities. She has super-high damage, but sacrifices defence and utility. She is capable of hitting multiple targets with some of her skills, applying poison to her foes, and assassinating vulnerable targets.
She is straightforward and excels at what she does, making her a solid damage dealing choice for your party. Her looting abilities are also unparalleled, capable of grabbing up gear and gold like no other.
We still have so many things left to reveal (without spoilers 😉) for this amazingly complex and beautiful world that was originally created by Isaac Childres. Even from the starting six characters, we still have the Mindthief and Tinkerer to show off.
We will continue to share as much information as we can with you, without making any spoilers. So be sure to follow our social channels below to stay up to date!
