New Hero - Dyadia  

Opposing Marksmen take note! Don’t get too close to this all new Support or she will use her skill Bitter Farewell, marking you with a bitter bond that not only deals magic damage, but allows her to loot two gold every second for five seconds. When the effect ends, it deals additional magical damage. The more gold Dyadia successfully obtains, the stronger she becomes, letting her achieve Ultra status even quicker. 

As a Support, Dyadia is also able to provide assistance and can also bless her teammates with Heartlink restoring health and increasing movement speed, plus offer additional buffs. Discover how Dyadia’s skills and attributes can impact a battle’s outcome in this tutorial video
