Here is a closer look at some of the newly-revealed Blacksail highlights coming to Torchlight: Infinite later this month.

New Hero: Cateye Erika

Erika is a Stalker, hailing from the Ichi Tribe. Equipped with dual blades, her first Hero Trait is called “Wind Stalker” which specialises in rapid movement, allowing her to swiftly weave between enemies before delivering a devastating killing blow.

New Hero Trait: Raging Phantom (Rehan)

Get ready to inflict some serious damage. Rehan is the first to gain a brand new Hero Trait. “Raging Phantom” allows the battle-hardened berserker to become one with an Ancestor Spirit who will automatically attack enemies with Rehan’s main skills and annihilate his enemies. 

New Hero Trait: Charge Calling (Moto)

Another new Hero Trait coming in the next season is Moto's “Charge Calling”. Flanked by his platoon of Synthetic Troops, the ingenious commander can now activate their self-destruct protocol to deadly effect, ordering his robotic minions to rush into enemy mobs only to explode seconds later.

Community Event: First Down
