Diablo Immortal’s New Tempest Class Is A Water-Bending Warrior-Priest
Diablo Immortal will receive its second new class since launch on May 23, and it’s another brand-new addition to the franchise–the Tempest.
Described by Blizzard as warrior-priests hailing from the Cold Isles, a region to the north of Sanctuary’s western continent, Tempests are chosen among the pure of heart and trained in the art of “blade-dancing, wavewalking, and seafaring.” Using the power of the storm itself, Tempest’s dual wield swords and daggers that can move and morph like water to both maneuver around the battlefield and damage enemies.
A new 2.5D cinematic trailer gives fans their first look at the class, and while it’s mostly an animated cutscene, there is a snippet of gameplay footage at the end. It shows the Tempest using their weapon to bring the might of a stormy sea onto their foes, lashing enemies with water whips, pulling them together in whirlpools, and dashing through them as if they were water.
