The hero shooter Gigantic is growing. A new hero named Rutger is coming – a tough armadillo! Additionally, there are new skins for existing heroes and monsters.
The colorful and fast-paced hero shooter Gigantic is getting new heroes. The new update “Into Solitude” brings two new monsters that you can summon. Additionally, there is a new hero named Rutger as well as another milestone for player numbers.
Gigantic – New Hero Rutger – Armadillo is suitable as a tank and CC
The new hero Rutger is as quirky as the rest of the Gigantic hero crew. Rutger is a curious mix of an armadillo and a badger. Rutger is tough thanks to his shield and can take a lot of damage. This makes him a good tank. He can also shape the battlefield and slow down enemies.
The following skills are brought into battle by the tough armadillo Rutger:
- Clawing Attack: A quick melee attack that also recharges Rutger’s shield
- Earth Shock: A charged ability that stuns the enemy in the area with two hits and then knocks them back
- Burrow: With this skill, Rutger can hide in the ground and thus flee or attack undisturbed
- Rock Barrier: Similar to Mei’s Ice Wall from Overwatch, Rutger can create barriers to stop the enemy
- Rock ’N‘ Roll: Rutger’s ultimate allows him to roll forward as an armored ball and knock back enemies. Rutger is immune to crowd control abilities during this.
Additionally, there will be further skins for the heroes Uncle Sven, Wu, and Charnok in the coming days. On September 19th, there will be a monk skin for the frog Wei and a stone cerberus. On September 26th, the “Riftborn Cyclops” will join, and Uncle Sven will receive a “Flower Power Skin”. On October 3rd, a flame student skin for Charnok will follow.
