New Content

Mode and Maps

Outbreak

• New Parasite — Knossos.

  • He was once a battle-hardened alien general from rumors of the Yong Shard, but his true form is a special Parasite accidentally infected after a great war. Knossos can charge forward with [Bulldozer], knocking away enemies in his path like a battering ram that tears open defense. He can also plant the war banner on his back with [Fighting Spirit], granting damage reduction and increased movement speed to allies who pass nearby. Even more terrifying is his passive [Uprising]—when a teammate benefiting from the banner is attacked, [Fighting Spirit] can be cast faster, allowing the banner to rekindle fighting spirit more frequently. Now, rumors of the “Parasite General” are spreading in the shadows along with a new wave of infection.
