Stealth for Shadow, sword stances for Duelist

The two new classes offer different ways into a fight. Shadow uses daggers, traps and stealth, with monsters unable to see him until he comes within a short distance. Duelist’s sword skills change according to his stance.

Snackgirls react

Red: Shadow makes me want to set a trap before anyone spots me. Then I’d try Duelist and see which sword stance feels right.

Nea: The return to Oriath has my attention. I’d like to take my time with those last two acts and see how the story comes together.

The final acts arrive with a new Challenge League

Acts 5 and 6 will complete the six-act campaign, bringing the remaining story chapters to the full release.

The Conquerors of Wraeclast Challenge League lets players recruit units, fight fortifications and build a stronghold. In the endgame, commanders can be assigned troops and Waystones to progress through the Atlas.
