Open Beta 22 brings the Keeper of the Wild Update, introducing the forest guardian Sylvanus, improved Conquest Lighting, new Wandering Market Travelers, quality-of-life improvements, and the start of Pantheon Quests.
New God: Sylvanus, Keeper of the Wild
Command the power of nature through seeds, flowers, and vines.
Nature’s Bounty (Passive): Picking up seed pods restores mana and reduces cooldowns.
Verdant Growth: Throw pods that root enemies or grow flowers for ally mana regen.
Wisps: Heal allies or damage enemies, reviving or empowering flowers.
Nature’s Grasp: Pull enemies or pods toward you; below 40% health, consume pulled pods for Wisps.
Wrath of Terra (Ultimate): Slam the ground, dealing continuous damage and knocking up foes.
Aspect of Grover’s Wrath (Releasing Nov 7)
Sylvanus gains increased attack speed and damage to debuffed enemies while trading some healing for aggression. Build Anger stacks to unleash Enrage and empower his grasp of nature, now a Tether instead of a Pull.
