Plarium Announcement
Hey folks!
We are happy to introduce a new Champion with Faction Unity skills – Admiral Blacktusk!
Admiral Blacktusk is a mighty warrior who will not only be a great addition to your roster but will significantly boost the abilities of your Dwarves thanks to Admiral’s Faction Unity skills.
Admiral Blacktusk is a powerful Support Champion who will shine bright in PvP content. He’s got some crowd control down his sleeve, along with cleanse abilities.
Placing Stun debuffs on enemies will allow the Admiral’s allies to deal double DMG to those enemies. His A2 stands out with its unique combination of cleanse and Ally Attack, leaving the enemy team in crumbles.
Moreover, Admiral Blacktusk will be able to place Stone Skin on all of his allies via Dwarfes Unity skill making him a first-of-a-kind Champion with such ability.
Untold dangers lurk beneath the mountains. Even the Dwarves, used as they are to delve deep in search of treasure, need strong leadership. Only cunning veterans like Admiral Blacktusk can hope to win glory and riches in these cursed caverns and return their brethren home safely. pic.twitter.com/FuHMdyomgL
