Character Reveal – Etalus

The latest Rivals of Aether trailer was released today and shows off the final two Rivals coming to the initial launch roster of 8 characters, Absa and Etalus:

Along with the last two characters in the main lineup, we also have a new kind of stage coming to Rivals of Aether. Watch until the end to catch a glimpse – it’s sure to be a heavenly surprise to many of you 🙂

Etalus is a legendary warrior in his native land, the northern continent known as the Ice Barrens. He is one of the last surviving members of the Harbor Guard, an elite battalion that once defended the peoples of the Ice Barrens. Learn more at his character page.

Etalus is a heavy character who uses his control of ice to overwhelm opponents and even freeze them in their tracks.

When standing on ice, Etalus can use his Neutral Special to absorb the ice and create ice armor around his body.

Etalus can use his Down Special to shatter all nearby ice, instantly freezing any enemies who are standing on it.

I hope you all give Etalus a chance when he arrives on Steam Early Access on March 14th 2016. We will also have news about our Xbox Game Preview version very soon! Don’t worry, Etalus will be headed there too.
