Published Friday, 08 July 2022
Iron Rider Curian promotional video has just been released! Check our analysis of his potential kit.
Recently we have created our own Discord server! So if you want to join and hang out with us, here's the invite link: Join Prydwen Discord.
We also just reached our first huge milestone - our server managed to grow to 1000 members! To celebrate it, we will soon hold two giveaways for both SEA and Global servers. More details will be soon revealed in the Discord and here on the blog.
Also, we had closed our Ko-Fi account and created Patreon instead. Supporting us there gives you some vanity stuff for now - custom roles on our Discord and also a custom emoji/sticker on the higher tiers - but once we release our new website more perks will follow, including removed ads! Check our Patreon here.
The PV is available on YouTube so watch it first: Curian PV.
Looks like the first Awakened Soldier is a Sniper-type unit that focuses on summoning! And he rides a mechanic horse!
Let's try to guess his kit.
Basic Attack
Curian fires his rifle and it seems he's doing AOE damage with it.
His range looks pretty good, so this should keep him safe from the frontliners and their skills.
Passive
Passives are usually the most complicated part of an Awakened employee kit, but in the case of Curian one thing is certain - when he is deployed, he summons two units that are equipped with massive shields and rifles.
The summoned units stay close to Curian and attack enemies from distance with their rifles.
Also, in one of the frames there were four summoned units at once on the screen, so either his passive allows him to summon more of them or the ability is tied to his Special or Ultimate.
Special
Curian's Special skill fires a flare that acts as a beacon for an orbital strike that deals AOE damage to enemies.
Ultimate
During his ultimate, Curian charges on his horse toward the enemies, pushing them back and dealing massive damage.
Here's his full model:
Patch notes that will reveal Curian's skillset will be released on the 11th of July. For now, he will only be available on the KR server.
Come back and check the blog then for the translation of his skills.
