Solomon remains calm and collected when facing a new challenger, so when the Patrons come calling, he approaches the city as if it's one giant chessboard. With Setup Bishop he advances, planting his loyal damage dealers ahead of him and sliding them across the streets with ease. Kingside Knight comes into play when it's time for defense, granting protection to allies and making tactical retreats when needed. Rook Battery charges forward with great force, stalling enemies in their tracks. And with his final move, Develop Queen, he locks down his enemies in an ultimate checkmate. - "There's a lot you can learn from losing to a master."
Solomon is available in-game now (just in time for National Chess Day)! We're halfway through our latest set of heroes, keep your votes coming to help determine who will be joining us next Tuesday at 2pm PDT. Have a great weekend!
