Some heroes win by smashing things to death.
Odysseus, the legendary King of Ithaca, prefers a plan that goes wrong for everybody else first.
This free DLC adds a brand-new playable Survivor to Achilles: Survivor - Odysseus, the King of Ithaca, a swift Marksman perfect for players who enjoy archer builds and high mobility.
Known across Greek mythology for his sharp mind, the Trojan Horse, and a rather eventful journey home, Odysseus deals with the battlefield the same way he survived the Odyssey: by staying fast, aiming true, and making sure the enemy is already in trouble before it understands the situation.
Unique Power - Odysseus’ Bow
Odysseus does not waste arrows.
His signature Power fires a powerful triple shot - one main arrow supported by two side arrows - dealing strong frontal damage and making short work of anything reckless enough to stand in front of him.
The bow was gifted to Odysseus by his close friend Iphitus, one of the Argonauts, who inherited it from his father, Eurytus - the legendary archer said to have trained Hercules. A highly tensioned palintonos (back-bent) composite bow, it requires immense strength, technique, and cunning to string and fire.
Even a Cyclop could appreciate someone wielding such a weapon. But Nobody could impress him.
Odysseus comes with bonus stats:
+15% Movement Speed
+20% Shooting Powers Damage
-50 Armor
He is fast, accurate, and not particularly interested in standing still. Mostly because he could get trampled.
Talent - Marksman’s Trap
A king who crossed the seas, outwitted monsters and humans alike, and in the end managed to impress his wife does not walk simply into battle.
As he moves, Odysseus charges his Talent bar. Once it fills, he leaves behind a small trap turret that fires rotating arrows at nearby enemies for several seconds.
Follow him too closely, and you may discover that the King of Ithaca always leaves one more surprise behind him.
If you like:
the Odyssey, obviously
ranged and bow-focused builds
high mobility and careful positioning
setting traps and controlling the battlefield
winning through brains as much as aim
And dislike:
standing still
more brawn than brains
then Odysseus may become your new favourite Survivor.
Requires the base game Achilles: Survivor to play.
