The next Brawler
Phantom Assassin, Lone Druid or Ringmaster? Here is the idea behind each of them. Your vote decides who joins Rinya and Mars next.
Rinya deals the damage and Mars holds the line. Three more heroes are planned for the arena, each built for a different job, and the vote on the home page decides which one comes next.
Like Rinya and Mars, each of them starts from a Dota hero and gets a kit of its own, made for WASD movement and aimed skills. What follows is the idea behind each one, not a finished kit: the details come once the vote has picked a hero.
- Phantom Assassin: melee damage.
- Lone Druid: a shapeshifter, a hybrid.
- Ringmaster: a support with heals, crowd control and many ways to play.
Phantom Assassin: melee damage
A melee damage dealer. Where Rinya hurts from a distance, Phantom Assassin has to get close, and once he does, few things in the arena hit harder. Get in, take a target down, get out before the answer comes. He would arrive in his Persona look.
Lone Druid: one hero, many shapes
A shapeshifter and a true hybrid. Lone Druid changes form in the middle of a fight, into the bear, the panther or the treant, and each form has skills of its own. One hero who can take the hits, hunt down a target or support his team, depending on what the fight needs.
Ringmaster: the support
A support who keeps his team in the fight and puts the enemy where he wants them: heals for his allies, crowd control for everyone else. His kit is built to be shaped, with many ways to play him, so two Ringmasters can play very differently.
