    This new character trailer..... is probably the worst I've ever seen. Bad lightning, bad shadow, they probably don't have enough time and just render it as fast as they can. Look like some amateur SFM clips.

    Just pointing out few things
    First of seems her name is Bel , which could possibly mean Belle when she transfers over?

    Nail polish and a ring? is it part of her glove slot?

    Her signature armor set has a TAIL. and also... new gremlin skin?

    I was probably going to try Bel regardless, but if she has any of the mechanics as show in the trailer, she could be interesting. The Amazon from Dragon's Crown (as well as other characters) had situations where your weapon could get knocked down and you'd have to brawl your way back to it, and I'm always down for another girl with kicks.

    As for breaking the gnoll's weapon, I'm guessing that was just some cinematic flair, but it'd be pretty neat if she had some boss disarming ability. Doubtful, but I guess you never know.

    Hopefully the fast pace of characters is indicative of the game doing at least reasonably well, and not some desperate death throes. I've never seen a game release more stuff when it's doing badly though, so I guess that's a good sign.

    I'm guessing the weapon break thingy is just an allusion to some skill she'll have that debuffs the boss's ATT. It won't have new animations for the bosses or w/e.

    Thinking now about character mechanics, why the eff does Delia have an interaction with Karok, yet Eira has no skill interaction with Arisha, her OWN sister?

    That's a really good point. Would be cool if she did.

    Yeah but like, considering the game's story, they met up now. That time stop skill for example is such a unique skill, would have been easy to give Eira some interaction with it.

    Even though she's melee and not a mage, she reminds me A LOT of Asker's Battle Mage, . If she has an attack where she falls on her bum because "OMG the weapon is so big that I lost control over it and fell on my bum bum" it will confirm my theory that there was something going on between devCat and Neowiz. We'll see, I guess.

    Well, I was wrong, she's not inspired by Asker's Battle Mage. She doesn't have a skill where she falls on her bum bum. However, she does have some attacks where she charges some form of blue colored magic. So maybe she is a battle mage, just not inspired by Asker's one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, side-note - she might be an INT class.

    She's cute. Her gameplay seems kinda Delia~ish. She even has smashes which restore stamina just like Delia does. You can tell that Delia, Miri and Bel were all motion captured by the same actress. And they all look the same too. Everyone says that Delia was "half-assed" and that she's "half a class" because her kit is lacking\too basic. Bel looks like what Delia should have been had they didn't half-ass her. She has like 4 active skills and a proper lockdown skill. I remember somebody made a thread "Delete Delia because Miri is better", oh boy, can't wait for the "Delete Delia because Bel is better" incoming threads.

    Tl;dr - Delia with a Magical (need confirmation) Great Axe.

    Update: I didn't watch the Korean streams closely enough. She DOES have a skill where she falls on her bum from swinging too hard. I WAS RIGHT. And her sitting animation has that too.

    I see you devCat copying Neowiz's homework and changing it up a bit. I KNEW IT.

    I checked around youtube and couldn't find any videos detailing stuff on Evie's changes (didn't even find supposed Lynn/Vella/Eira changes). All I could find were Kai's changes uploaded and translated by HSG. The OP posted what appears to be a roadmap of changes, and it looks like KR is doing them in w/e order they choose. I don't think Evie's had her changes just yet.

    I'll leave a comment on one of HSG's more recent videos and ask him about Evie. I'll edit this post with any info I get.

    EDIT 1: HSG got back to me and said that her revamp was posted but he's yet to make a video. I'm asking him now for a link to KR's patch notes for her revamp so we won't have to wait on his video.

    EDIT 2: http://heroes.nexon.com/News/update/View?page=1&postno=888 (I'm lazy and don't feel like translating atm, but here's the patch notes).

    I translated those patch notes but those look like the ones we got. There is mention of staff evie being buffed, but it goes straight to battleshade after. There is zero mention of scythe skills.

    Ah, my apologies for missing that. Let me go and ask HSG again about scythe specifically.

    HSG said that the scythe changes are included in that link. Upon further inspection, I was able to find them listed after the staff buffs. It does NOT go straight to battleshade. Google translate lists the section after the staff changes as "EB Battleside," which can be misinterpreted as batteshade. It's actually the battle scythe changes. It talks about Arcane gate adjustments, attack speed, and adjusting two of her smashes.

    Go ahead and take another look.

    Thanks, so it looks like arcane gate is getting proper invul. Weird that we seem to have gotten the rest of the patch but not the scythe changes specifically though.

    When did we get that patch? Afaik, we haven't gotten those changes yet. Looking over NA's update history, I don't see any of these changes listed in an update we've gotten. Unless I missed something?

    It was never a ring in the first place, it's the bracelet peeking over her hand. You can tell when watching the video closely.
