New Legend: Horizon

Horizon is the newest Legend who is a top tier scientist and can manipulate gravity very skillfully. Her space-suit will easily allow the player to control her movements in the air even when falling from great heights.

  • Increase air control and reduce fall impacts with Horizon’s custom spacesuit.
• Tactical: Gravity Lift
  • Reverse the flow of gravity, lifting players upward and boosting them outward when they exit.
• Ultimate: Black hole
  • Deploy NEWT to create a micro black hole that sucks in nearby Legends.

Players will now enter a brand new arena known as the sky city of Olympus. As per the game lore, it is a utopia floating in clouds above Psamathe. Once considered as a place where the top minds in the Outlands used to meet. However due to an accident during an experimental research, a rift was created and the city was abandoned.
