Paragon, the MOBA game with high-gloss graphics, is actually known for rather serious heroes. That will soon change with the new heroine Shinbi, who sings K-Pop songs and tears apart enemies with pink glitter wolves.
MOBA games are notorious for silly and outrageous heroes, such as the brutal cuddle bear Pakko from Gigantic or the two-headed ogre Cho’Gall from Heroes of the Storm, which two players control at the same time. Paragon has stood out here so far, as the heroes of this MOBA are rather serious and dignified, which also matches the realistic graphic style.
K-Pop and Wolves? No Problem
With the new heroine Shinbi, the serious theme changes, as here comes a cute girl who runs across the battlefield in hot pants and with a sword and actually earns her living singing K-Pop songs on stage. In doing so, she uses state-of-the-art holo-technology to incorporate sparkling pink wolves into her performances.
Sure, it all fits wonderfully together, which pop star doesn’t have holo-wolves on stage? But the pink glitter pups are not just decoration! Rather, they are Shinbi’s preferred form of attack. Most of her skills rely on wolves that tear apart the enemy.
The Wolfocalypse!
If you are now wondering what terrible things the pink glitter wolves can do, then prepare to be surprised. Shinbi’s skills and abilities are:
- Raging Beat: A charge that can be reactivated to charge even further. Everything in Shinbi’s way gets damaged.
- Tempo Line: Unleashes a wolf on the enemy. The wolf explodes, of course!
- Circle Rhythm: Four particularly glittery wolves run around Shinbi. They do not explode, but tear apart all enemies they hit and heal friends.
- All-Kill!: Each of Shinbi’s other skills gives the victim a “wolf stack”. When she activates the skill again, the poor enemy is attacked by one wolf per stack(!). Wolf-tastic!
By the way, Shinbi will appear on February 21.
Jürgen says: I really thought I had seen everything in MOBAs, but a wolf-throwing K-Pop chick with hot pants and a sword? I was not prepared for that. What do you think of the new heroine? Totally funny and brilliantly outrageous or a disgrace for the rather dignified Paragon? On the other hand… there have also been green grinning orcs with drums….
In line with the theme: Paragon plans more than a dozen additional heroes and a coop mode besides Shinbi
