Paragon’s new hero is the Countess

Epic has revealed the next new Paragon hero and she’s a burst caster called The Countess.

Her strengths are misdirection and unpredictability which makes her ideal for quick kills and then vanish. Her skills are as follows:

• Blade Siphon – Countess quickly spins her blades around her, causing damage in a circle around her. Passive: Countess regains a percent of her max health every time she kills an enemy, with bonus health for a Hero kill.
• Shadow Slip – Countess targets a nearby enemy and blinks to it, dealing damage and applying a slow. If the target is a minion, it is executed. Reactivate to return to the original position.
• Dark Tide – Countess sends out a roiling cloud of darkness in front of her, dealing damage to all enemies in the area of effect.
• Feast – Countess jumps to a nearby enemy Hero, forcing them to look at her and stunning them before dealing a massive burst of damage. Countess is locked down for the duration of the attack.

The Countess will be available on 25 October. We’ll be taking a closer look at her next week in a new hero video so stay tuned for that.
