Ahoy Blitzers! We're excited to unveil a brand-new [b]FABLES story campaign[/b] today! [h2]NEW CHARACTER: SETO[/h2] Let us introduce you to our newest character, Seto! Seto is a Seafin monk and a highly skilled martial artist. You may have encountered him in Violet’s campaign! Now, join him on his journey across Crossdawn Isle as he searches for his master, who left their homeland years ago. Although Seto looks a little scrawny, he’s a fierce warrior with a multitude of abilities. So we suggest not to underestimate him, unless you’re looking to get knocked to the ground in a swift deliverance of fist-fueled justice! Seto was the first Seafin character to be designed, paving the way for their general look going forward. Though as some players have noticed, the fish-head variant isn’t the only type of Seafin found in the world of Cross Blitz – some of which you might even encounter during his story! [h2]SETO GAMEPLAY:[/h2] Seto is a [Balance] character whose deck utilizes martial artists, ice spells, cooking, and katanas! [h3]Burning Brawler[/h3] Throw a barrage of fiery punches and kicks with this [b]hand-to-hand combat focused deck[/b]! Utilize Focus effects to boost your minions' power to even greater heights, swarming your opponent with deadly martial artists! [h3]Frigid Flurry[/h3] Toy with your opponent by [b]wielding frigid Frost magic[/b]! Freeze minions, summon an army of Shivershades, and put your foes on ice -- literally. What this deck lacks in raw strength it makes up for with a wide range of spells that prevent your opponent from building up a powerful board. [h3]Glorious Gourmet[/h3] A flexible deck for the cooking elite! [b]Prepare a variety of dishes [/b]with different ingredient combinations, and show the world what a culinary expert is capable of! There are 12 different dishes to cook – all spells with varying effects. Experiment to discover all of the possibilities! [h3]Tempered Edge[/h3] Master [b]the way of the blade[/b] with this skillful deck! Use powerful katana spells that allow your hero to attack directly, and Sharpen them for even bigger damage while capitalizing on unique synergies! With great risk comes great reward.
