Two new Nightfarers have been added to the game, joining the Roundtable Hold to combat “abominable creatures.” Both heroes will come with new storylines and abilities.
- Undertaker – This new female Nightfair is an abbot, commanded by the Nightlord’s slaying. She specializes in both faith and strength and wields a one-handed hammer. The trailer showcases her special attack, which involves striking enemies with a “mouth hammer.”
- Scholar – This male Nightfair is adept at arcane magic. He starts with a sharp sword and uses his battle strategy to assess the enemy’s position. His ultimate move is capable of weakening enemies and strengthening himself.
