Since arriving in the realm, Azaan has been preparing for a looming threat – an enemy whose arrival could tear the world apart. But just before Azaan is able to make his last effort, she has arrived… and the realm will never be the same. Say hello to your new matriarch – Nyx, Queen of the Abyss, has emerged into the realm from the darkest corners of the Abyss.
Nyx is the newest frontline champion to tower Paladins This brings the total number of playable characters to 58. Her passive ability, Queen of Change, gives her a healing bonus when approaching a target and encourages players to always stay up close and personal. Nyx doesn’t have a traditional weapon, instead fighting enemies with her fists. Her primary fire is a five-hit chain of melee strikes, and her alternate fire, Rift Slash, cleaves reality in an area, dealing damage and slowing enemies caught by the effect.
But what would a queen be without a way to punish those who would dare raise a hand against her? Nyx’s first ability summons a broad shield at a target location, and her second ability unfolds a poison aura around her, dealing sustained damage to enemies caught within it. Nyx’s ultimate is Chaos Nexus – she unleashes three powerful attacks around her that pull and stun enemies, forcing them to crawl at her feet.
Even the champions of the realm are not immune to the alluring powers of the Abyss. This patch also includes a new Into The Abyss Event Pass with over 20 tiers of chaotic rewards including the Abyss-corrupted Doom Bringer Seris and Wings of Darkness Saati.
Also included in this sixth season is a fan-favorite returning mode: Payload. Originally published in Paladins‘ Beta features Payload big new locations where one team tries to push a cart to the enemy base while the opposing team tries to stop them before time runs out. This mode can be played Monday through Friday each week, giving players plenty of time to experience an iconic part of it Paladins
