New Naraka Bladepoint hero Tessa, the Vixen is about to be unleashed on Steam’s coolest battle royale game, just after its free-to-play transition, and she’s a beautiful but terrifying fox girl with the ability to overpower her enemies with tail-based attacks. She’s even capable of stealing the soul of her opponents, luring them in against their will to deliver a devastating bite attack. Arriving in Naraka Bladepoint very soon, Tessa looks like a lot of fun.
In her reveal trailer, Tessa is seen teasing fellow hero Wuchen with a laugh before her smile turns to a menacing grin as she draws him helplessly towards her waiting grasp. We then get to see what she looks like in action, as she unleashes her fox spirit to get her out of danger and create new attacking opportunities.
Her Tail Strike can be used to interrupt enemies if you’re under attack, and will also give her the protective Foxfire debuff, which will explode if she gets hit again in a short timeframe for added security. She can also create an area that will pull her foes to its center, damaging them and setting them up for your other attacks.
Tessa’s ultimate ability, Enchant, summons her fox spirit ahead of her, which then steals her opponent’s soul and places it into a Soul Vessel. If they can’t snatch back their soul quickly enough, they’ll be Enchanted, meaning they’ll lose control of their character and will be completely susceptible to Tessa’s whims, allowing her to deal a devastating bite attack that also restores her own health.
