More details for
Dawn of War III are starting to emerge! Last week
Relic posted a
new "Unit Spotlight" article on one of the heroes for the upcoming game, making his all glorious psyker comeback from
Dawn of War II: Chaos Rising and
Retribution, the (former) Librarian of the Blood Ravens Chapter - Jonah Orion!
Having survived the events of
Retribution after being assumed killed while in battle with the Daemon Prince Kyras, the newly-appointed Chapter Master Gabriel Angelos similarly promoted Jonah into the position of Chief Librarian, a position more distinguished and important in the Blood Ravens as compared to other Chapters due to the chapter's gene seed and built-in desire for knowledge and greater proportion of psykers.
In
Dawn of War III, Jonah furthers his role as an excellent crowd-control figure and has three abilities aside from his passive ability, Zeal, which decreases the time between his attacks each time he uses an ability. Jonah's three selected abilities are:
- Fury of the Ancients - Area of Effect damage to enemies and boosting the speed of allies
- Emperor's Light - A field of light that increases the damage of allies and impedes enemy attacks and vision
- Stonewall - Literally summons a ring of stone and earth around Jonah that absorbs all incoming attacks
The "Unit Spotlight" article also includes clips of each of the abilities being used in action, a fully rotatable 3D render of Jonah Orion as well as a wallpaper of him. Do head over to check it out.
What are your thoughts about the return of Jonah and what do you think will be the role that he will play in the Blood Raven's upcoming fight? Do tell us below!
