New Legends Characters Are Available In The Marketplace!

New Legends PvP characters Lex Luthor and Steel are now available in the Marketplace! For those of you wondering what it will be like to play as these iconic characters, we were able to sit down with Systems Designer Jesse "Spord" Scott to talk details.

Mepps: I know you're hard at work on a few other projects we won't be going into here, but tell us a little bit about how these characters act and play differently than the rest of the Legends PvP cast. Tell us about Lex Luthor.

Spord: Lex Luthor is a good damage dealer. He is a hand blast character with multiple long range attacks like Quantum Barrage or Laser Beam. The laser will set his target on fire dealing damage over time. He can also take care of enemies that get in close with a frontal cone attack called Energy Matrix or a localized AoE named EMP. If the fight gets too intense he has an escape plan in Tactical Blast. It will launch him backwards with his power suits stabilizer jets while damaging his multiple enemies caught in the blast. When nothing less than scorched earth will do (which is a lot of the time, with Lex), he can use his LexCorp Surface Strike to deal massive damage with a barrage of rockets.

Mepps: That sounds...painful. How can Steel compete with that?

Spord: Steel is more of a support character. He is a two handed weapon wielder that can help keep points with Proximity Mine and his personal Prototype Protective Barrier. He can also jump right in the middle of a fight with his Big Swing lunge attack and use either Hammer Drop or Atom Splitter to damage and stun anyone unfortunate enough to still be around. To round it out he has Hammerang, an attack that has him throw his electrified hammer to knockdown and deal damage over time to multiple enemies.

Mepps: Thanks Jesse! Lex Luthor and Steel are both available now in-game in the Marketplace!
