Choose Your Hero: The Character Rundown
Robin: The Distance Dominator
In the limelight is Robin of Locksley, the head honcho of the Resistance. This archer’s got a quiver full of skills to bring the pain from afar. His special shots do the trick, shredding multiple enemies or even drilling through shields. And if you’re all about that team synergy, Robin’s got you covered by launching enemies into the air for some sick combos.
Marian: Versatile Vixen
Next up is Marian, the Sheriff’s daughter who’s got more than just good looks. She’s a bonafide assassin, equally deadly up close or at range with her chain-sword. Whether you want to slice and dice or play it safe, Marian’s got the moves for any combat scenario.
Friar Tuck: The Supportive Smasher
Don’t sleep on Friar Tuck, gamers. This healer monk rolls in with a mace in one hand and a barrel of mead in the other. He’s your go-to tank and melee specialist. His mace attacks are no joke, and he’s got a shield that can give you that much-needed breather when things heat up.
Little John: Brawler Extraordinaire
Last but definitely not least, meet Little John. Once a high-ranking dude in the Sheriff’s army, he now throws down for the Resistance. If hand-to-hand is your jam, Little John’s rapid punches and Overheat attacks will get the job done. Plus, the guy’s got laser beams. Need we say more?
Customization and Replay Value
Each of these characters comes stacked with special abilities that can be tweaked using fragments you find on your journey. Need to adjust your fighting style? You’ve got options. These heroes also have unique Rebel Abilities and can tap into Rebel Instinct mode for a temporary power-up, especially handy when squaring off against boss-level baddies.
