We’re soon to find out all we could want to know about how Gargos will handle himself in battle, but that doesn’t mean the folks at Iron Galaxy Studios have to stop giving us small glimpses of the upcoming character. One such glimpse went live recently in the form a video demonstrating his standing roundhouse.
The button, which surrounds Gargos in an aura of energy, looks to consume projectiles–at least those of the single-hitting variety. Sadly, the video doesn’t include health bars, so we have no way of knowing if Gargos takes damage–or perhaps recovers life–by dissipating fireballs in such a fashion. Though the footage is limited, the button’s functionality may hint at Gargos’ playstyle. A tool of this nature would likely work well with a set of abilities built around strong zoning options, but could also find a home in a slow-moving character with massive damage potential, offering him a means to get close to those who wish to keep his evil at bay. Of course, these guesses are only two possible options amid a sea of many.
Check out the video for yourself, and be sure to tune in to the Gargos stream tomorrow at 2 PM PDT (5 PM EDT) for a full breakdown of everything the upcoming character has to offer.
