Paragon’s new hero is Shinbi, a pop star with wolves

Paragon‘s latest hero has been revealed and she’s called Shinbi.

Next week Shinbi will hit the Paragon servers and this new melee hero utilises Intellect and Growth cards. She’s apparently Omeda City’s biggest pop star who can summon spirit wolves. She’s also a melee assassin who will dazzle her enemies on the battlefield. It’s all rather sparkly.

This is also the first time Epic has moved away from the grittier fantasy characters and added something a little more modern. As to how she looks, well I’m not a massive fan and I was really hoping Epic would stay away from this kind of character design. Her skills are rather tasty though and that’s what matters.

Here’s how her skills stack up and the new trailers can be watched below.

• Rushing Beat (RMB/R1) – Shinbi dashes forward passing through enemies and dealing damage, she can also re-trigger quickly after to dash again.
• Line Tempo (Q/Square) – A Spirit Wolf is summoned and runs out in a straight line, passing through minions and dealing damage. The wolf explodes on contact with an enemy Hero.
• Circle Rhythm (E/Circle) – Shinbi summons four Spirit Wolves that circle her for 4 seconds, which deal damage and heal Shinbi for each hit.
• All-Kill! (R/Triangle) –  Passive: All of Shinbi’s abilities apply +1 Spirit Wolf stack per hit to enemy Heroes, building up to eight stacks.  Active: When activated a pack of Spirit Wolves attack the closest target with the highest number of Wolf stacks, sending one Wolf per stack.
