supervision 2The newest hero is a tank with amazing mobility and brutal diving and fighting tactics. Hazard has a punk-rock aesthetic, a Scottish accent and a shotgun that can blast your vulnerable backline heroes to smithereens. But don't be intimidated by his tough exterior: this anti-establishment rascal has a firm belief in bodily autonomy and a love of cute puppies.
Playable during a limited time trial, Hazard was initially conceived as an intimidating cyberpunk villain named Spiker. But after Blizzard designers showed off their portly scoundrel to the development team, it became clear that he was destined to evolve into a charming rebel with a protective instinct.
Blizzard describes Hazard's gameplay as a “momentum-based mix between diving and fighting playstyles that will leave opponents running for cover.” Its two standout abilities are Jagged Wall (a “spiky vanadium wall that sticks to any surface”) and Violent Leap (a “mid-range, two-stage mobility option that also packs a punch”). He can use his Vault passive ability to scale his wall of spikes, giving the burly thug surprising agility.
His main shooting ability is Bonespur, a short-to-medium range shotgun that fires a spike round. Meanwhile, Spike Guard allows you to block incoming damage head-on while sending a barrage of spikes at any fool unlucky enough to get in the way of this Scottish Sid Vicious taking HGH.
In the wise words of Hazard: “The best defense? Stab.”
You can test Hazard during the test, which will take place from Friday to November 25. Will become a permanent cast member when supervision 2 Season 14 arrives on December 10.
