Hello Pilots,
We're approaching the last weekend before launch! So please say hello to Iris - Our first Keeper Pilot!
Compared to the Gunner and Stinger, the Keeper plays differently on the battlefield --Instead of a typical Mech, the Keeper possesses the entities it can summon! Weave powerful spells and use your summons to your advantage!
"I will bear any burden so that they don’t have to."
Pilot Bio
Name: Iris
Place of Birth: Irkutsk Zone 3-LR
Bio: Thrust into a motherly role from a young age, Iris grew up as one of the older kids in an orphanage. She spent her days helping the orphanage's director, a kind man named Qasim, and playing with the younger children there.
However, one child's anger resulted in a devastating explosion causing a huge fire. Qasim rushed in to save as many children as he could but found himself buried under the debris. Iris tried her best to lift him out but wasn't able to save him. He ordered her to leave him and look after the children.
In the aftermath of the accident, Iris is covered in burns but still alive. Tasked with the responsibility of protecting the other children, and frustrated with her own powerlessness to save Qasim, Iris makes the decision to sacrifice her human body in exchange for a robotic one. She lost the ability to feel from her prosthetic limbs, but in return has gained superhuman dexterity and strength.
The Stalwart Protector
- Sign Magick- The first time you cast a Spell each turn, gain a Poof! in your draw pile.
- Dark Medal - At the start of each fight, permanently add a Chant to your campaign deck
- Wild Magick - After you cast a Spell, reduce its cooldown by 1. Then, destroy another random Spell on cooldown.
Iris' artifacts are all about channelling her energies as a powerful spellcaster!
Having unique artifacts and cards for each pilot really helps build diversity during your runs. Iris has some interesting cards like Consecrate which has her destroy the topmost Spell, but draw +2 cards and receive +2 Mana the next turn.
That's all for Iris just now, but you can discover more of her unique cards as you play and we'll be back with another Pilot feature soon!
Happy Hunting!
