Good evening, Defenders! Today, Etheria gets a bit more protected. Patch 10.6.0 introduces the Guardian hero, with a free valentine's map to come on a later date, in around 3 weeks from now. The patch might seem small when compared to other big numbered patches, but that's because all content has been rolled out in smaller 10.5.x updates since December.
New Hero: The Guardian
Journeying from the Etherian deserts, the Guardian answers the land’s desperate call. Blessed by unseen powers, her Holy Defenses stand unbroken as she weakens her foes and fortifies her allies. In moments of great peril, Divine Judgement calls down searing lightning, shattering enemies and strengthening friendly resistances. When surrounded, she unleashes her Shield Bash, driving back all who dare approach.
Protect the Eternia Crystals with these all new defenses:
- CosmeticHoly CannonShoots out an exploding holy projectile. Damage scales with Tower Health.
- CosmeticObeliskShoots out a laser that explodes on enemies, slowing and oiling them, and making it so they take extra damage. Damage scales with Tower Health.
- CosmeticOwl NestSpawns a fierce owl that homes in on enemies. Damage scales with Tower Health
- CosmeticEmpowering ShrineProvides a damage and resistance buff to all players in its radius
- CosmeticHoly BulwarkA powerful barricade that retaliates against enemies and heals ally players and towers when it gets hit.
And these powerful abilities:
- CosmeticShield BashFires three high-knockback magical shields.
- CosmeticDivine JudgementDamages all nearby enemies and increases ally resistances.
The Guardian hero is available to recruit now:
