The new heroes include:
- Magna, The Unbroken – Tank-like member of the Wolf Clan who can reflect opponents’ attacks.
- Elyssia, Wardress of Warrens – Hero of the Rabbit Clan who builds fortifying walls around settlements.
- Ghor, The Wyldkin – Bear Clan champion whose magical powers are increased in forests.
- Sargon, The Death Teller – A legend of the Rat Clan whose cards appear face up when selecting which ones to draw.
Armello merges the deep tactics of card games with the rich strategy of table top and a character role-playing system. Players take turns exploring a vibrant world, battling players and vanquishing evil banes, with the shared goal of claiming the throne from the mad lion king of Armello.
“A year after introducing Armello to the world, the game’s audience is still as active as ever,” said Trent Kusters, co-founder and director of League of Geeks. “Whether you’ve never played a match or you’re a seasoned vet, today’s content drop guarantees you will have a new experience, and with the talent seen in our community, you’re sure to have competition,”
