Thank you for your interest and we look forward to interacting with you and making Second Wave even better! For now, enjoy the beta!

She’s an adolescent girl armed with an Arcane Rocket Cannon. She can jump higher than a rabbit and is as strong as a brown bear. She hates spinach and loves bunnies! She wants to become the Animal Sheriff of Swarije. Her favorite animal in the world is her pet bunny, Clover. She may be pocket-sized, but don’t underestimate Jemma. She can carry artillery that weighs more than you or me, and she can leap six meters into the air. Whatever the crisis, she’s ready to rise to the challenge and run like a rabbit. Show your enemies who’s boss with the power of the cute and terrifying Arcane Cannon.[/quote] [h2]JACK TAYLOR[/h2] [quote]Masked, self-proclaimed explosives artist, bomb-loving psychopath Jack joins us as a goal-shooting companion. Hobby: Imagining landmarks around the world exploding. His specialty: making “cute” bombs to make it happen. To him, bombs are toys and explosions are a rush. He gets a thrill from those pyrotechnic moments when enemy blood splashes everywhere. So don’t pick up any of the dolls he throws because they’re cute – they’re gas bombs disguised as dolls, and they can be deadly. Like Hansel’s loaf of bread, Jack’s bombs don’t just go off when he hits the detonator – they go off all at once! When you see Jack, be prepared. You could be the target of one of Jack’s powerful bombs, including grenades, sticky bombs, and flaming flasks. [/quote] [h2]SPADE FOUR[/h2] [quote]The mysterious Pierrot behind the red circus tent! Spade Four, the ‘offensive supporter’, has joined the party. Likes: Performing card tricks for a rabbit audience. Dislikes: Toughness and stubbornness. The circus troublemaker, don’t tell Spade Four! Hates interference and will turn you into a rabbit. Spade Four is hard to catch, bouncing in the air with the jump pad or floating around in a giant balloon. Annoy Spade Four and fireworks will be thrown at you. Your hair will go up in flames! Make Spade Four your ally and wreak havoc on your enemies with sneaky attacks.[/quote] [h2]JEREMY RENNON[/h2] [quote]The mysterious Pierrot behind the red circus tent!

Aegis, the priestess, has aligned herself with Ra, the Sun God, and Shu, the God of Darkness, as a “Support” who protects her allies with the power of both Gods. Aegis is a living temple in her own right, as both Ra and Shu live within her body. Ra and Shu manifest through Aegis’ body. When Aegis speaks warmly, Ra takes control of her body, and when she speaks seductively, Shu takes control of her body. As the Sun God, Ra saves her allies with the power of the Sun’s life-giving light, Shu, the God of Darkness, strips her enemies of their defenses like an assassin lurking in the depths of the night. Use the power of Aegis to save your allies and wear down your enemies. Harness the power of both Gods to win the Arcane War.[/quote] [hr][/hr] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//44081638/971eeed02b5bc8d434ca7cff84eee61409617285.jpg[/img] [h2]NEW GAME MODE - STONE-GRAB[/h2] [quote]Introducing Stone-Grab, a competitive game of “take it or leave it” in the unoccupied Arcane Stone Quarry!
