Epic Games has revealed a new hero for its multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), Paragon.
The third-person game is currently available via early access on PlayStation 4 and PC. MOBAs have become one of the most popular kinds of games in recent history, especially with mega-hits League of Legends and Dota 2. The genre is especially popular in the emerging esports scene, which research firm SuperData expects to reach $1.23 billion by 2019.
The new hero is The Fey, who will be available free to early access players on August 2.
“Drawing from nature’s power, The Fey is a Support Caster who specializes in crowd control and can harass heroes in her lane,” Epic detailed in a press release sent to GamesBeat. “Her Untamed Growth ability throws out an explosive plant that does AOE (area of effect) damage over time. Her Bramble Patch creates a line of thorny brambles that can slow multiple heroes. Harvest Nettles refunds mana on successful hit while her Ultimate, Fly Trap, summons a gargantuan plant that drags you in and applies serious damage.”
