MythForce 1.2 - Skill Trees - Victoria Edition
Hey Adventurers!
We've arrived at the final hero dev blog for the 1.2 update, and this week, we’re shining the spotlight on the heart & shield of MythForce—Victoria the Knight. As a steadfast defender, battlefield commander, and relentless warrior, Victoria brings a trio of unique playstyles that let you take control of combat in a variety of new ways. Whether you prefer standing strong as an unbreakable tank, rallying your allies as an inspiring leader, or diving headfirst into battle as a fierce warrior, Victoria’s rework ensures there’s a build for every kind of front line hero.
Let’s bring on the BONK and take a closer look at her three distinct classes: Knight, Commander, and Warrior.
Knight – Holding Out for a Hero
As a Knight, Victoria is the shield that stands between your team and the unrelenting hordes of Deadalus's army. This class focuses on taunts, knockdowns, and defensive buffs, making her the ultimate wall of defense. Enemies won’t just notice you – they’ll be forced to deal with you.
Some standout abilities in Victoria’s Knight tree include:
Eldryth’s Champion: Take less damage from, and deal more damage to, taunted enemies
Valorous Charge: Gain one stack of ARMORED buff for each enemy hit by Victoria's vanguard ability.
Knight: Taking hits charges your MythForce meter
As a Knight, when MythForce is activated, Victoria becomes indestructible, making her completely INVINCIBLE for its duration. If you love being the unmovable object standing between your allies and danger, the Knight class is for you.
Commander – Rebel Yell
The Commander class is all about supporting allies and weakening enemies. If you enjoy a leadership role, directing the battle through auras and buffs, this is your time to shine.
Some standout abilities in Victoria’s Commander tree include:
Bolster: Creates a large aura upon activating Lion's Roar that buffs allies and debuffs enemies
Intervene: Enemies hit by vanguard are electrified, and an aura is created on ability end that buffs allies
Commander: Buffing allies and debuffing enemies charges your MythForce meter.
Activating MythForce as a Commander puts Victoria back on the offensive, granting her LETHAL damage against CORRUPTED enemies while making her allies RELENTLESS and POWERFUL for the duration. If boosting your team while crippling your foes is your playstyle, this class is your best pick.
Warrior – Another One Bites the Dust
Ready to smack first and ask questions later? The Warrior class turns Victoria into a relentless damage dealer who thrives on power attacks and charging headfirst into the action.
Some standout abilities in Victoria’s Warrior tree include:
Pinball: Adds additional bounces to Sling Shield and inflicts burning on enemies the shield bounces to.
Inner Flame: Lion's Roar inflicts burning on taunted enemies and is extended by every hit taken when active.
Combat Veteran: On kill gain 2 max hp up to a maximum of 100 (sorry folks no more uncapped craziness)
When MythForce is triggered, Victoria’s power attacks become LETHAL for the entire duration, allowing her to carve through enemies like a true battlefield berserker. If high-risk, high-reward combat is your style, Warrior Victoria will be your new favorite build.
