You might have the concentrate on Rook, in your character, however nonetheless have that management and character coming into the fight expertise from the opposite individuals in your celebration.”

As a substitute, gamers can pause time by pulling up a capability wheel that enables them to decide on which capacity they wish to use subsequent, and likewise choose which actions their companions absorb fight.

What are you going to do with their talent factors? What is the loadout you are going to use? Every thing is about bringing Rook to the middle of the battlefield, and I adore it.”
