Straight from the stars - meet Ace Everstar!
Some say he came from the stars, others claim he's always been around offering the best goods in the galaxy! One thing is for sure, Ace Everstar never misses his mark and always gets paid!
With dual energy blasters and an irresistible charm, Ace isn’t in it for the glory of saving the world. He’s here for the thrill of the hunt and a nice paycheck at the end of it! Whether he’s chasing bounties or dodging the consequences of last night’s decisions, Ace moves fast, hits hard, and disappears with a big fat tip!
New to the roster!
We’re excited to give you a first look at our next playable hero - Ace Everstar. You might know him as the shopkeeper but there’s way more to him than meets the eye! He’s flashy, he’s deadly, and he’s not above bending the rules if it gets the job done.
In this sneak peek we'll dive into his playstyle and what you can expect from him joining the crew to save the Evercore.. well, all for a price of course!
Playstyle
Ace Everstar is a high-mobility ranged damage dealer - perfect for players who like to stay on the move, pick off key targets, and stay one step ahead of danger.
Ace focuses on eliminating targets he deems his ‘nemesis’ - every hero needs one after all - and any enemy marked this way will receive increased damage from his basic attacks and abilities. Being the bounty hunter he is, Ace has multiple ways to make sure his targets won’t escape and can put on a chase by jumping over enemies and stopping them in their tracks before delivering the final shot!
What separates a good Ace player from a great one is the ability to mark the right enemies, staying on the move while blasting your nemesis and staying out of danger doing it. His burst damage isn’t as high as Shade nor are his AOE capabilities anywhere near that of Cynder, but you’ll have a lot more consistent damage to play with as well as mobility options to utilize to change the flow of combat in your favor!
As a ranged gunslinger with access to a guaranteed crit ability you’ll do well focusing on (crit) damage and shards that offer on-hit effects. You can’t go wrong with any shard that either uses or compliments your mobility as well! It might be wise stocking up on at least one defensive shard to avoid that unfortunate situation where you do get caught out of position - you'll thank me later!
If chasing down your nemesis with two - pew pew - dual blasters sounds like fun, then he’s the ‘Ace’ up your sleeve!
Let us know what you think!
While working on Ace Everstar we asked ourselves - what do you think? Does Ace fit your playstyle? Do you already have a build in mind? Let us know!
Next week we’ll keep exploring what’s coming next in the major update by taking you on an adventure to to our new game mode, The Frozen Path...
