Developer Epic Games is giving away the next free hero for all early-access players of their MOBA Paragon next week. We present him and some changes to the previous tanks.
The Angry Cyborg…
In a few days, the next of the total 39 planned characters of the MOBA Paragon will be released from the developer dungeon: Riktor.
The cyborg is a melee tank with a large range, so you should be careful of him. Because if you get too close, you risk finding yourself directly in front of his fist in the next moment. Or in the midst of the enemy team.
Riktor can not only pull enemies and minions towards him, but also interrupt abilities and deal massive damage and stun with his ultimate, a net of chains.
…and his tank colleagues
Appropriately, there was a patch this week that addresses the balancing of the previous tanks, among other things.
Thus, Sevarog swings his mace a bit faster after activating the ability and now has a slightly increased range. His base damage was raised from a maximum of 325 to 380. However, he loses the additional damage that was built up by stacking.
Steel, on the other hand, is now supposed to become more useful for the team with his shield block. Therefore, his collision size has been increased to better block incoming projectiles. However, you can no longer count on a protective shield when passing through his kinetic shield, as this has been completely removed. Additionally, Steel’s throwing arm lacks some power, as he can now only throw his shield half as far as before.
The biggest changes, however, affect the almost unbreakable Rampage. He will now receive a constant health regeneration of 4.2 per second as long as he is in the jungle. The passive bonus, which was previously based on missing health, is now a thing of the past.
The ability “Wild Roar” has been completely discarded and transformed into a new one. This is now called “Thick Skin” and gives Rampage a passive health regeneration.
And if you liked to leap directly into the fight, you should now be aware that this cannot be activated again immediately upon activating the ultimate. Moreover, there is no more bonus health, but a regeneration of up to 250 HP per second. Rampage regenerates, you could say. Whether he will still rock after these changes, everyone has to find out for themselves.
The Gates to Agora are Open
And where could one do that better than during the currently ongoing open beta weekend? This started last Thursday and ends on Tuesday, May 31 at 3 AM.
So if you want to take a look at Paragon between Battleborn and Overwatch, you can lead the now 16 heroes onto the battlefield of Agora. Provided you registered on Paragon.com by May 25.
If you missed this date, it is still advisable to check it out if you are interested. The next open beta weekend will surely come.
