4 New Champions! October’s New Additions!

Plarium has released information regarding some new Champions coming to the game with the October Fusion, which begins tomorrow for Maranix, Dark Elves Legendary.

Not only will we be getting Maranix, but we’ll also see the addition of 1 Epic and 1 Rare Champion (meaning the Fusion will require 4 of the Epic, and 16 of the Rare Champion to complete) and 1 brand new Void Legendary Champion.
