Face off against the Oathbreaker, a deadly battlemage that haunts Cassidy's mind. The Oathbreaker is a cunning foe that mixes magic, mobility and melee to push you to your limit.

Introducing Companions

Coming in hot for the Phoenix Update is a major new combat system. Cassidy will need all the help she can get, and the Companion system gives her the edge she needs.
