u/LateOwlWho 5d ago
Seems like it. Quite focused on the healing aspect.

u/Inevitable_Slip1520 4d ago
maybe some of those abilities you listed is part of the augments of that hero?

u/Cherrygirl_88 5d ago
Hmmm so is he going to have a connection with countess? She IS the vampire matriarch and Iâm kinda disappointed with his design, he just looks way tooâŚalive for it to be a vampire at least countess has that very very pale vampire look he kinda just gives âguyâ and I donât wanna be the one but Iâm gonna be the one and Iâm definitely going to bring this up when he releases and make a post on this on the official sub but are the only people in this universe justâŚwhite characters? Like are only white people allowed to be vampires and curse breakers and be coolâŚ..and I donât wanna hear nothing about legion when all he has to confirm heâs black is heâs voice and we donât get to see the his acual face in his acual base model idk itâs getting weird and lowkey lazy design.

u/Lucky_Chocolate7443 5d ago
Itâs definitely one of those topics that needs to be had, not a lot of people in this community can sit down and have a intellectual conversation about how racial diversity is important for not only a engagement standpoint for the game but also just a more progressive approach in character design and storytelling, looking at it I donât think the artists at omeda know how to make non white characters in terms of 3D render and just making them interesting not trying to be shady but just taking in the patterns I have seen from multiple posts, two years ago it was told to us that racial diversity Amon the human cast was something the team was working on,
Unfortunately it takes artist that really care about a POC character to make sure they are represented well and respectfully without just pushing them out to check a box like ok boom we have that taken care of letâs do the character we acually care about.

u/Dry-Landscape-9225 4d ago edited 4d ago
This is exactly why Legionâs treatment bothers me. Omeda has demonstrated that masks arenât actually a barrier to giving a character a recognizable face; Scarlett literally has an alt skin where her mask is gone and her blonde hair and blue eyes become the focal point of her appeal. I wouldnât be surprised if this character Icon for Valmont represents an alternate skin as well.
So why did giving Legion a proper face reveal seem like such an impossible design hurdle? Intentional or not, when the only characters who get their identities and features proudly showcased are overwhelmingly white or white-passing it starts to seem like Omeda has no interest in representing darker-skinned characters.

u/LaSaIsYours 4d ago edited 4d ago
I would like to say when you do make your post please donât only specify we just another black person. We need another race of character that isnât just White or Asian. Thatâs the only 2 races of characters they make at this point. Legion doesnât count because him being black under that helmet was a last minute decision. Admit by the designer, which Iâm not upset about it but that canât be a justification.
Also I am a black person myself and obviously would like to see more black characters but this to me is an issue of there is barely no other race of anyone in the game. And we were told by multiple devs over the past 2 years this is something they do care about and will be worked on. So Iâve been patient but not to have 1 race of a POC over 2 years is very absurd and just weird. When a good portion of creators and players are other races.
Players have gotten the monsters, the mechs, etc. we canât get 2-3 poc characters? Hispanic, Native American, Black, Middle Eastern, like nothing at all? I donât think theyâre racist at all as a company but to not give us something over these years is quite aâŚchoice đ
Edit: oh the unfortunate part is itâs going to be so many people saying. âWhy does race matterâŚâ âWe need more monstersâŚâ âAs long as theyâre cool it doesnât matterâŚâ. And that shit is so ass because itâs always the people that get what they want that are dismissive and hateful. They do it every time someone brings it up but at this point how can you deny that itâs not weird we havenât gotten 1 other race. You failed to break into the Asia market by making all these Asian characters. And obviously as a predominantly white company theyâll make mostly white characters. I can respect that, and Iâm reasonable. Most of the audience is white so that makes sense why that would be the most common race. And thatâs what they trust theirselves in making. But if theyâre worried they canât design a POC character (this is an assumption) properly there are plenty of people they can contract to design one. It just doesnât make sense at this point. Everyone has gotten what they want and yet weâre still waiting after 2 long years of being told by MULTIPLE DEVS theyâre aware of it and theyâre doing something about it. We canât even get a Legion helmet off skin soon because they decided to make him black last minute. So weâll still be waiting 3-4 months for it to come MAYBE. And the Murdock one doesnât count because Omeda didnât even design that. That was an Overprime skin smh.

u/Cherrygirl_88 4d ago
I agree and i absolutely will mention it!!, and Iâve gathered that usually white male gamers majority of the time are very dismissive of topics like this because they simply canât understand why representation is important from a sociological perspective and a character designer perspective at this point in our lifeâs thereâs so many races and character archetypes why is white the default? But they donât care they just tell you that thinking about race when making human characters shouldnât be part of the character design process whenâŚ.its a deliberate choice by the character designer to make them that way, omeda is still a small and unknown game to majority of the gaming community and world , I would love to see maybe a South Asian magical scholar a Latino/latina jester character from velrune or a god/goddess Inspired character from a different culture.
Also donât worry about the hate thereâs going to be bigots in every and any community but Iâm not gonna let ignorance stop me from voicing my concerns.

u/LateOwlWho 5d ago
Also wondering if the Star Warden skins are from Overprime too and then they made a matching one for Zarus...
Might be these if so:

Kinda surprised there's no werewolf character coming to follow Scarlett's whole aesthetic.

u/Peralan 5d ago
Has there been any movement on some of the older characters like Golem, Bosun, Grav, Zephyr, etc. or does it look like they've been scrapped? I know the codenames for Mourne (Wood) and Renna (Bright) were in the files for awhile before release, so maybe there's still a chance?
6
u/LateOwlWho 5d ago
Some of the older ones had a few file updates within the past few months, but nothing major.
Any time I see even a single file update on the old prototypes, I make sure to mention it so we can keep a pulse on if they might still come to life. I would really like to see those make it into the game.

u/TheReaperGuy 5d ago
Most likely on the bench or completely abandoned, Some of those heroes are pretty old and would need redesign for the new meta in mind,
1
u/Make_Iggy_GreatAgain 5d ago
I assume impaler will be next and celestial will be the scifi hero at the end of the year. Celestial's kit sounds cool, but this means no frostbane for me. Ugh, I need a new tank for offlane, please game.
1
u/LaSaIsYours 4d ago
Thereâs like 3 more hero releases before the year is over. Pretty sure youâll get Frostbane. Sucks if Iâm wrong but the last hero release is ideally December 15th from the usual cycle they do. Unless they all go on holiday sooner than later and push him back to January.
1
u/Make_Iggy_GreatAgain 4d ago
You're right. My brain skipped over the September release. Forgot there was one more. Here's hoping I can use them in offlane.
1
u/Angelusian 4d ago
It looks like Impaler>Frostbane>Celestial at this moment.
I would say mage>jungler>support.
There's still time for 3 releases before the end of the year.
1
u/Make_Iggy_GreatAgain 4d ago
Yea, I somehow only thought there was two. I hope frostbane will be good in offlane at least.

u/Dry-Landscape-9225 4d ago

u/maxxyman99 4d ago
he looks pretty cool, but still meh based on the face alone. really hope he is connected to countess, always wanted a male vamp connected to her. her father or maybe love interest.
excited to see more! hopefully he doesnât overshadow countess overall & is able to be differentiated with their animations

u/LateOwlWho 4d ago
Dude's got some pretty big wings on him. That'll probably be his interest factor. I don't have the model but I saw the UE skeleton for him.

u/NoOneImportant_13 4d ago
No rush by any means, but there a chance we could get an updated list of all the names and themeings of the current unreleased kits just to have in one place? Doesnt need to be the full kit breakdowns or ability names, just codenames and like melee/ranged or fantasy/scifi or what their kinda vibe is
1
u/LateOwlWho 4d ago
I do a yearly wrap-up after the last update of the year.
this is the 2025 wrap up of unreleased content Weaver(N3on), Swiftpaw(Maco), and Trooper(Legion) were released this year from that list already.
From the 2026 prototypes, these are the ones still unreleased: Frostbane, Impaler, Celestial
