Mal’Damba is the newest champion in Paladins – a healer with many nasty crowd control effects.
Since Paladins had a fairly solid launch on Steam, the developers at HiRez have been working hard to implement new champions and game content. The next patch is already on the horizon and brings the new champion Mal’Damba, who acts as a healer while also bringing some crowd control effects.
Let’s take a quick look at his abilities.
- The normal shot is a Spitting Cobra that shoots poison at the enemy. When the weapon is reloaded, Mal’Damba hurls the cobra at the enemy, briefly stunning them. The weapon can only be reloaded when it has very little ammunition left.
- The alternate fire mode Mending Spirits places a “healing over time” effect on the first allied target hit.
- With Gourd, the champion throws a vial that bounces off walls and bursts upon contact with the ground. The resulting puddle heals allies over a few seconds and damages enemies.
- Mal’Damba’s movement ability is Slither, which propels him a few meters forward.
- The ultimate ability is Dread Serpent. Mal’Damba throws an energy ball at the target area, temporarily cursing a large area. Enemies in that area are feared and run in different directions. Each enemy can only be feared once per use of the ability.
Those interested in the hero shooter from HiRez can download the game for free via Steam.
