Sparrow's E skill is an attack speed steroid that allows her to move at travel speed (in MOBAs, a steroid is a skill that increases a character’s stats.) Finally, Sparrow’s ultimate skill allows her to shoot multiple arrows with each auto attack. Her Q skill damages enemies in a target area over time with a barrage of arrows. Sparrow’s right click charges an arrow and shoots it over a great distance when released. With my custom deck ready, I jumped into another match as Sparrow, a ranged ADC (attack damage carry) character. (Amber is the in-match currency that contributes to players’ card points, which are needed to purchase the cards in their decks.)
While in a match, players earn Amber from defeating jungle mobs and minions. Once your deck is ready, you can choose it during character selection prior to starting a match. For example, Adamant Edge can use Max Health and Physical Damage upgrades only.

Upgrade Cards may only be installed based on an Equipment Card’s attributes. Additionally, because all three of Adamant Edge’s slots have been used, the card has been maxed out, giving Adamant Edge a bonus 15.2 Physical Damage. Placing these three Upgrade Cards into Adamant Edge’s slots will give a player 200 Max Health and 22.7 Physical Damage on top of Adamant Edge’s 7.6 Physical Damage and 125 Max Health. You may add up to three Upgrade cards - let’s say two Lesser Healths, which offer 100 Max Health, and a Major Strike, which offers 22.7 Physical Damage. This card adds 7.6 Physical Damage and 125 Max Health. Let’s take Adamant Edge, for example, which has three upgrade slots. The rest of the deck consists of Equipment Cards and Upgrade Cards.Įquipment Cards come with upgrade slots. Each deck must contain a Prime Helix Card, The Archmagus, The Centurion, or The Warlord, each of which offers players different stats. In the game lobby, players may construct a deck of up to 40 cards. Finally, Muriel’s ultimate skill (R key) allows her fly to any ally on the map and shield them while pushing enemies back and shielding other nearby allies.īefore our next match, Epic introduced us to deck creation, which determine each player’s upgrade path in-game. Her E skill is an AoE (area of effect) buff that shields allies and damages enemies. Her Q skill shoots a projectile damaging and slowing enemies in a line. Muriel’s right-click shoots an orb toward your reticle, which can be picked up for a shield and speed boost. One thing to note is that whereas MOBAs traditionally use the QWER keys as skills, because Paragon is a third-person shooter, the W key is replaced with the right mouse button, and the WASD keys are used to move. I’ve played MOBAs in the past, so it took only a minute or so to get used to the controls. The first match was our introductory game, and I played as Muriel, a support character. Epic did their best to balance each team based on their familiarity with the MOBA genre.

Once everyone had arrived, we were split into four groups of five, with two groups playing against each other on PC and the other two groups playing on the PS4. The last hero being unveiled on December 3rd, which probably means we’ll see the Beta before the end of 2015.Įpic is also currently working on a new Unreal Tournament, the long-awaited Fortnite, and virtual reality shooter Bullet Train.Last week, Epic Games invited me and a handful of others to iam8bit in Los Angeles to preview a build of Paragon. The next few weeks will see Steel, Sparrow, Dekker and Grux revealed. It’s suspected that Paragon could be a FPS/MOBA-hybrid game in a similar vein to Blizzard’s Overwatch, with the heroes and their unlockable items/abilities certainly suggesting that this may be this case. Clicking on one of these items asks you to sign up to save the item, so you will be able to use it the first time you play Paragon. Clicking on Twinblast shows the ‘in-game items’ that can be unlocked for the character, which sound a lot like perks – giving extra damage when he's injured or against shielded targets, for example. His cybernetic arms and apparent fondness for leather gives him a bit of an 'Adam Jensen from Deus Ex' look. So far, the only hero who has been revealed is Twinblast. The only thing we know for certain is that five heroes will be revealed over the coming weeks, it is getting a Beta test at some point in the future, and that the game will be released for the PC in 2016.Įpic isn’t even saying what kind of game Paragon is, and there’s no indication on the teaser site of what to expect. Aside from a fairly vague teaser site, the company hasn’t said very much about the title. Epic Games, the company behind Unreal Tournament and Gears of War, has announced its latest game - Paragon.
