Paragon, the glossy MOBA from Epic Games, is getting a new hero named Phase with update v.40 “The Era of Intelligence”. Additionally, there are changes to other characters and rewards.
Paragon regularly receives new heroes. Recently, a dark, cowboy named Revenant, possessed by an evil spirit, joined the roster. But the heroes before him were also quite peculiar. Just think of the filthy swamp witch Morigesh or the K-Pop girl Shinbi along with her pink holo-wolves.
The new hero arriving with update v.40 “The Era of Intelligence” is a bit more down-to-earth.
Paragon – Phase – finally a support character
The recent heroes in Paragon have mostly been damage dealers. There is nothing wrong with that; dealing damage is fun! However, the developers have had a heart for team players and created a cool support character with the new hero Phase. The exact skills of the young woman are not yet clear.
In a reveal video, Phase can be seen as she incinerates enemies to bold music and drags them around. She also seems to be able to build a connection with her friends, which likely makes them stronger. So, Phase is undoubtedly useful, and her trendy undercut hairstyle suits her well.
Paragon – Update v.40 Era of Intelligence – Here are the changes
In addition to Phase, update v.40 “The Era of Intelligence” brings changes to other heroes and the game’s reward system. The addon along with Phase goes live on May 16 and includes the following features:
