Epic Games Reveals New Paragon Hero Zinx
Epic Games, the developer and publisher of Paragon has kept their promise, releasing a brand new character for the game each and every month, and of course, this month is no different as they revealed their newest hero Zinx earlier today. Zinx is the first character to be released since the ranged gunner Wraith less than a month ago.
Epic Games released the first look for the upcoming character earlier today, describing Zinx as a “durable ranged attacker.” The newest hero is the product of a science experiment from the very same scientist who created Phase and Howitzer, in which it took not one, but 348 attempts to bring this kitty to life. Her four skills are: Bad Medicine, Kitty Claws, Ricochet Stun and Dirty Healing. You can see the full descriptions for her abilities below.
- Bad Medicine (RMB/R1) – Zinx charges her gun and creates an AoE field of energy on the ground in front of her, can be discharged early to create a smaller field.
- Kitty Claws (Q/Square) – Toggle: Empowers her Pistol allowing it to apply a damage over time effect, which can be stacked.
- Ricochet Stun (E/Circle) – A Medium range projectile which bounces around nearby enemies, stunning them. The stun duration increases for each enemy hit.
- Dirty Healing (R/Triangle) – Passive: Zinx gains bonus mana regen, based on a percentage of her missing mana. Toggle: While activated, she will immediately heal 50% of damage taken, costing mana instead.
Zinx will be available next Tuesday, July 18th, 2017, for the PlayStation 4 and PC and like the other characters, she will be free to play! You can check out the brand new reveal trailer showing off all of her abilities below.
