The ally team will always show as blue on the map and the enemy as orange. The minimap is located at the top right of the player's screen and shows key information, including the location of enemies (unless hidden) and which direction they are going, which towers are still up, the locations of Neutral Monsters, Inhibitors, the Core and where the lanes are. Cards are only accessible at the base, so be sure to make initial selections prior to entering the playing field.įor more information on the types of Cards, how they are used and which Hero's they are best on, go to Cards. Each card is different and augments the Hero in different ways. To purchase a card, click the empty slot, and then the card. The cards available will be based on the player's points purchased with gold. If a player is at their base, they can bring up the card menu (G) and look at their currently available cards for that Hero. These slots are located on the left side of the user interface. During gameplay, players will be able to use cards from either deck they have built or from Starter Decks and slot up to 3 cards in their arsenal. These walls can only be seen through for a short time of entering either lane or jungle, but minions line of sight can reveal enemies and other minions.Īfter Heroes are selected, card decks are ready and teams are created, players will enter the match at their base. Fog walls separate the three lanes and the jungle. Monolith also has special fog walls spread out across the map. The current level of gold is shown on the player's HUD in the bottom left corner beside the player's cards. Once a player has collected enough gold, they will be able to purchase points of either agility, vitality, or intellect that they can use to purchase cards. Players will need to collect gold from the passive gold drip, defeated Heroes, minions, and/or towers which will in turn grant Hero XP as well as gold. The maps are shaped like a "bowl", where the spawn points are higher than the rest of the map and look down onto the battlefield. Unlike traditional MOBAs, Paragon is in third person perspective which allows for a certain amount of verticality, which can lead to greater strategic gameplay and surprise elements, such as being attacked from a higher or lower altitude. Along the way, each player gains power by killing enemy heroes and minions, destroying structures or jungling, earning them experience points and Amber that are used to increase the player's level and to purchase cards, potentially giving players an advantage over their opponents.

To do so, each team must work through a series of towers that are placed along a path to each base (commonly referred to as a "lane"). To win a match, a team must destroy the opposing team's Core. Each team starts at opposing sides of a map, behind the Core. Get the bigger picture of those changes here.Players are formed into two even teams primarily comprised of five members. Looking further into the future, there's a new match-making system in the works with new game modes and a spruced up card system already in the design phase. Hopefully we'll know a little more by her February 21 release. We can see a glimpse of her powers through the video alone, but it isn't a whole to lot to go right now. There's little to say other than that right now, with even the Paragon website not listing her under their currently announced and/or upcoming heroes. And there's already a lengthy forum post calling for her to go back to the drawing board! Potentially enticing the Asian playbases to spend their hard-earning cash on a character a little more in-line with their pop culture, Shinbi's intro video paints her as a scantly-clad brawler ready to tease with an energetic song and dance apparently handled by Hyuna - an increasingly popular young Korean musician.
