Introducing Hero #3 - Bertram the Ranger
Hey Heroes,
This week, we focus on a hero who's a master of ranged combat, and can also provide a unique value to the party by constructing turrets and traps.
Bertram the Ranger
Bertram is a ranger of the wild. Being a expert tracker and a highly adaptable survivalist, he is often called upon for hunting and scouting missions. His skills make him uniquely suited for leading expedition groups through unfamiliar terrains.
Starting Talents
Bertram is not as physically hardy as other heroes, but he makes up for it by having highly versatile ability schools that let him be as proactive or reactive to situations as needed. He can be a threat from anywhere on the field, and a deadly one if left unchecked.
Skill Schools
Every school has around 20-30 unique skills. Shown below is a small sample of the kind of skills Bertram can obtain over the course of his adventures...
Here are a couple of preview shots of select skills in action!
Rain of Arrows
Cross Hatch
Sentry Turret
Build Potentials
Bertram has strong range potential, so keeping him in the back row and away from danger is the way to go. With that said, a portion of his abilities also reward him for maneuvering about the battlefield to gain circumstantial boosts, or to set up his abilities in the right places. He is a flexible fighter who can ramp up his damage output if he is unchallenged.
This is just a taste of what we have to show for our Early Access. We'll be working on this and even more amazing content as we go on!
If you've missed out on our previous posts, here is all the teasers we've shown - this list will be growing as we go along!
If any of the above gets you excited, you'll be absolutely in for a treat with Gordian Quest. We can't wait to show you more, stay tuned!
Drop us a comment, wishlist our game and tell your friends about it :)
Sincerely,
The Gordian Quest Team
