According to some YouTube vids and the new event that has a two week countdown, we have a new hero in the form of the Warmonger. Except I can’t seem to confirm anything. Seems to be mostly speculation. Here’s one video I found https://youtu.be/TAf9WMutYLE and one more https://youtu.be/uc5nVZHRn9M So...Apolyon is the new hero? |
Yes Warmonger is the new hero. Knight vanguard. The version in the event isn't quite complete though. The neutral light and heavy animations are just placeholders and not the entire kit is on display. They will be available August 6th, and purchasable with steel on the 20th. They were kinda vague about what that means. I think there is kind of a free trial period where everyone can try the character put until the 20th then they have to buy them with steel.

Funny, I was fighting Sadpolyon in the test your metal event and wished Warden could do some of the things she was, such as the half swording (where she grabs the blade and does a charging impale) or that wind up smack. Guess I’m getting just that. Do you guys feel she plays differently enough from Warden to justify not being a Warden rework? |

I think there's enough new that it works, but also it's pretty uninspired and a kind of boring choice. Some notable differences: Doesn't seem to be able to use bash from backdodge. Enhanced lights. Bash follow ups end chains. No crushing counter. More chains. No unblockable heavy finisher. Unblockable side dodge heavy. Undodgeable forward dodge heavy. Hyper armor on some heavies. Personally, I would have liked to have seen these things implemented as a warden rework instead of a new character. I don't hate it but it feels pretty samey. I guess the upside is that it is pretty cool. Ubi probably feels like it's a slam dunk since reddit would riot if the new hero wasn't a knight, and they've been wanting appolyon moves on warden forever.

I personally don't like the fact that this means the Wu Lin and one or both of the other factions are going to get ripped off this year. Only two heroes are coming and a lot of people thought they would be Wu Lin to help them catch up since they have 5 heroes versus the other faction's 7. Unfortunately this means they basically saw Reddit whining about how they only want knight heroes in the game and that they would riot if it wasn't a knight and decided to pander to them again. I really wouldn't be surprised if the other hero is also a knight at this point just to further pander to them. Have you seen PK's zone on PC? I still haven't on console. |

Kensaimage posted... Why the push for more knights?The devs primarily listen to reddit when it comes to many things and the only thing reddit has been doing is begging for more knights with full plate armor. They have been posting tons of the same Dark Souls armors and asking if they can be added to the game, completely complaining about any hero who isn't a knight, and numerous other things. In fact many of them were celebrating the new hero being a knight even though the Warmonger is pretty uninspired from what we can tell currently. Have you seen PK's zone on PC?

This is definitely the case, but also I do believe this (or some variation of it) has been the plan all along. "It may not be thick, but boy is it short." |
It's all knights? Always has been. I'll do far more than that. I'll provide you with a sorry end to your messy life. Then I have no choice.... Damn the Wheel. Damn the world! |
This is really pathetic for a new Hero: basically, a slightly altered Warden. Tsk. Disappointing, to say the least. It doesn't even have a different weapon, just the same longsword as Warden. Even taking into account that a few parts of the kit will be different when the Hero is fully implemented, this is just too much like 'cloning' a character. I was hoping for 2 more Wu Lin Heroes to balance the roster correctly, though I did mention that I assumed they wouldn't be, but instead we're getting a half-assed Warden-clone (an extra Knight Hero). What's the other one going to be, a slightly beefed-up Orochi (since the Orochi was the one who finally defeated Apollyon in the 'Story Mode')? Anyway, I must say that I am truly disappointed by this news. I was at least hoping for Heroes with new weapons. Oh well...
