Details
New Champion: Galena
Galena is a descendant of the first Mars born human and heir to the most powerful and famous family on Mars. She grew up being in the spotlight and part of the Martian high society. Aside from representing Mars in the arena, she is acting vice president of the Mars terraforming program which gives her direct access to cutting edge technology to constantly improve her arena suit.
Discontinuity
Galena shoots a shockwave in a straight line to disrupt her opponents' skills. Players hit by Discontinuity cannot use any of their skills for a short amount of time.
Vortex
Galena throws an imploding charge creating a vortex which sucks opponents towards its center. Champions in range of the vortex are held in place for a few seconds.
AI bot replacement for disconnected players during a match
When a player disconnects during a match he/she will be replaced by an AI bot to help the affected team, mainly focusing on defense.
Playing a match with and against AI is now part of the tutorial
We’ve extended the mandatory tutorial. After a new player learned the basics, a 2vs2 match will start to introduce the player to a first match.
New skins available in Shop:
Shani new T3 skin Streetwear plus color variation
Cap T3 Steampunk red
Cap T2 Chef plus color variation
Overview page of the player profile
Over the next updates, we are introducing more and more features for the player profile. The first iteration is a summary of your play experience, showing your level progress and some of your high-level stats.
