Akrion, Tobrin, Neven, Stavr and Brakhin join the new roster

Five more heroes join the new roster, and with them a sixth people, the Myrmidons. Akrion of the Etalons sets benchmark posts beside him, and a target that he and a post both have in their sights takes more damage from both. Tobrin of the Rusted, put together from other people's parts, throws a welded patch to the most wounded ally on the field and grows stronger with every ally who falls next to him. Neven of the Isotopes has a second head of light on his shoulder that curses the most dangerous enemy all battle long, and its scream burns the target with radiation sickness. Stavr of the Fangs, an old spiral-horned goat, blows his horn: the enemies around him run in fear, and his own stand under a shield that no stun can break. Brakhin of the Myrmidons is a bombardier beetle whose boiling acid eats away the target's armor for the whole squad

Seyvar, who was next in line last time, and all five newcomers now fight in our test build too, so all ten heroes of the new roster are already in it. Over the heads, next to the statuses, you now see buffs and debuffs as well: the icon of a stat in a green frame when it helps and in a red one when it hurts. A stun and other hard control now cut a swing or a cast short at once, and whatever the action had not let go yet never appears: no hook, no beam, no leap

We also fixed five healers of the main game: they used to heal and cleanse the very enemy they were attacking, and now they heal the most wounded of their own

The game is now much lighter on the video card: all its pictures are packed tighter and take about a fifth of the memory they used to, while looking just the same

All five have pages in the knowledge base with their stories, looks, abilities by rank and every ability in motion, the way the battle plays it. Akrion's post rises out of a gold survey mark, Tobrin's patch gets welded on with a hot seam, Neven's scream flies as a mask of light, a circle of runes flares up under Stavr, and a pool of acid boils around Brakhin

Next up, we are drawing six heroes of rank II, one for each people
