Due to a lack of details at the time of writing, fans are left mostly with speculation about what role this new character is going to play in party composition. Based on her appearance, she looks as if she’ll rely more on dodging attacks than tanking them. Given that she wields a spear, it’s possible that we’ll be getting a back line fighter, which could certainly add some variety lineup of warriors. Perhaps she can pierce enemies or break the their PROT stats – and with a name like Shield Breaker, that’s not too far-fetched of an idea.
As you can see in the image above, this character is missing her right hand. You can clearly see a bloodied bandage and an absent limb where her appendage should be.
It’s hard to say what this indicates about her character, but perhaps it has something to do with her backstory. Maybe she had to remove it in order to prevent death by poisoning from a fatal snake bite? Maybe she was a member of some secret order? Or perhaps her story ties in with the Occultist’s…
Hopefully we’ll be getting more details soon to clarify what this character is bringing to the table and why she’s missing her hand. As soon as Red Hook reveals more more information over the next few days, we’ll be bringing the updates to you. So stay tuned!
