After slowly parceling out characters for Chaosbane, we have a final warrior to round out the four-man roster. That's right, after being introduced to the soldier Konrad Vollen, the mage Elontir, and the dwarf Slayer Bragi Axebiter, we now have the archer Elessa, the last of the 4 playable characters.
Elessa may sound like a relatively un-threatening Wood Elf scout, but she's actually a badass with nature powers who has proved herself in Magnus' army thanks to her mastery of long-distance combat and rabbit-like mobility. Elessa has an arsenal of spells based on persistent damage, and she's able to injure and poison a large group of enemies while also calling for backup in the form of Forest spirits known as Dryads to help her in battle. Even when her mobility fails and she finds herself surrounded, she can cast spells to slow down enemy hordes, dodge, or entangle them in rows of thorns and spikes. This is a chick would be be right at home side-kicking for Swamp Thing.
There's also her bloodlust attack, where you charge your meter by kicking everything's ass and collecting sweet, sweet red orbs. Once the meter is full, warriors can unleash ultra-powerful skills, and for Elessa, that means a literal rain of arrows from the skies.
Check out Elessa's badass trailer below, and see why you should quit talking shit on Wood Elves.
