Kastiel

"As the ruthless and amoral Warrior-Regent of Arkhos, there is no hope in escaping his Nethersword. Devoted to the pursuit of victory at any cost, Kastiel abandoned his people's traditional reverence of Animus. He now drives the Sovereignty of Arkhos towards a secret, heretical objective–the collection and weaponization of Animus in order to destroy all his enemies. Be it through his will, or at the end of his lethal blade, the culling has begun."

Biography

Kastiel is the ruthless and amoral warrior-regent of Arkhos. Driven to the pursuit of victory at any cost, Kastiel abandoned the Celestials' traditional reverence of animus. He leads Arkhos to a secret, heretical objective–the collection and weaponization of animus in order to destroy all his enemies.[1]

Game Unit

Kastiel is a Celestial hero unit. He is completely free for all players that purchased the Ultimate Early Access/Founder’s Pack on Steam or Kickstarter.[1]

Kastiel attacks through melee with a sword and shield. He passively generates his own cascade field, allowing Celestial players to deploy structures in close proximity to wherever he treads.[1] Similar to Infernals, Kastiel is able to absorb animus from fallen enemies to power his own abilities and charge the Arkhos Arcship.[2]

Abilities

  • Darkfire: Kastiel charges towards an enemy ground unit or structure and slams it with his shield for 100 damage.[2]
  • Soulblade: Kastiel ignites his Nethersword, gaining 40% attack speed for 5 seconds. His attacks with Soulblade deal 80 damage in a cone in front of him.[2]
  • Cull the Unworthy: Kastiel sacrifices a target unit (his own or an enemy’s), restoring 33% of his maximum health and 10 energy per supply of the unit. Kastiel also gains 4 stacking bonus damage per supply cost of sacrificed units until he dies. The Cull the Unworthy buff stacks up to 100 (and up to 200 by level 9) accruing more and more bonus damage as well as earning +5 bonus armor for every 50 stacks. Targeting one of his own units decreases the cooldown on Cull the Unworthy by half. The cooldown on this ability is dependent on the current health of the targeted unit.[2]
  • Firefall: Kastiel channels for a second before warping up to the fleet above and rocketing back down to Earth in a column of dark flames. Upon impact, the ground around him explodes, dealing 200 falloff damage in a large area of effect (unlocked at level 5)[2]

Co-op

Kastiel is a vehicle-themed commander. When playing as him, the Vector and Saber cost 50% less to produce, while Celestial scout and caster units (Animancer, Cabal, Scanner) cost 25% more.[2]
