Hi! To make the wait a bit less painful, we’ll be sharing some information from time to time about the game.
In Army of Ruin you will select which character you want to play with before every mission.
The Early Access version offers 6 playable characters, each one with its skills, both passive and cooldown-based.
Two are unlocked right away, while the other 4 will be unlocked when meeting specific conditions.
These are the two starter characters:
Saul, the Wizard
- Starter Weapon: Magic Staff
- Passive Skill: Reduce attack cooldown by 1% for every level in your equipped trinkets.
- Active Skill: Magic Missiles – Shoot 8 magic pellets around you.
Saul is an easy-to-play, balanced character with a decent single-target starter weapon, and his skill can deal a nice amount of damage on packed groups of enemies. His passive stacks nicely with most weapons, and you’ll become even more powerful as you keep leveling up your trinkets.
Ariana, the Warrior
- Starter Weapon: Quicksilver Spears
- Passive Skill: Increase Attack Damage by 10% every 5 levels.
- Active Skill: Shell – Become invulnerable and deal damage to enemies you touch for 6 seconds.
Ariana is a short-range character, which can become strong thanks to her passive, and her active skill can quickly deal with bosses and elites. However, her starter weapon requires some skill to be used effectively, and the active skill has a long cooldown, so she needs to use it wisely.
Being the starter characters, both are well balanced and don’t have particularly strong points or weaknesses, however characters unlocked later will be a bit more unbalanced and favor specific strategies.
