Latest Crowfall Video Showcases The Myrmidon

I am a huge proponent of playable non-humans in MMORPGs, so you can imagine that I was quite excited to hear that Crowfall would have a Myrmidon archetype. Thanks to a video released yesterday by ArtCraft, we finally get to see the archetype in action.

The video discusses each of the Myrmidon's powers. He has abilities such as grabbing all players he comes in contact with as he charges and subsequently launching them when he stops, stunning players, performing a Whirlwind attack that inflicts a bleeding effect on those hit by it, hitting all targets within a specific area repeatedly, and entering a state that allows him to absorb all damage until the state's timer runs out, after which he takes all of the damage that he absorbed "in one hit."

You can find the video embedded below. You can also read more about the Myrmidon here.

Matt's Take:

The Myrmidon seems like a fun melee archetype to play as and the added detail that he sprints on all fours—he is part beast, after all—is quite neat. Despite being a melee class, there are a number of flashy effects on display and the status effects his abilities inflict appear to have quite a bit of combo potential. I imagine that this is the archetype I would end up playing the most if I were to play Crowfall.
