look at the new anniversary art and notice a new unseen hero is getting a drink from bird, i wonder what the new hero will be, it has purple hair and a long tail(potentially a curled hair? implying another female OwO)

Would be cool if they added a surprise character for fall, but might be a tease for spring.

100% spring. no new character is listed on the roadmap till spring 2023 but it is cool they teased the new hero this early.

Looks feathery. Crow or raven, mayhaps.

Wonder what type of character the next one will be? If we're going by the semi-ripping off of Borderlands that GF has been doing so far, only thing we're really missing is some kind of pet class, but having a furry with a pet animal would be weird. Flying robot/golem? Necromancer?

a necro crow works on a meta concept level. crows have always been seen as a sign of death and bad omens. having a crow be a necromancing death bringer would be peak imo.

Might be a zhenniao if its a bird just going off of the color and chinese mythology.

Personally I'd like to see a stealth character. Similar to Thunder Cat, go invisible for your next attack to deal big damage and end the invisibility. Maybe even an ascension to where if you crit while invisible it insta-kills non elite/boss enemies. Would make picking off priority targets like Retainers and flame thrower dudes nice and easy.

Stealth backstabby character would, with the present game balance, be pretty weak in team play. See, most other characters are able to absolutely murderkill anything at a long distance, so having to cloak, run up BEHIND an enemy and then attack them would take a lot of time compared to just having the bunny shoot it 5000000 times within a split second.

This occurs for melee characters too quite often.

Never said anything about backstabbing my friend, just going invisible. Like I said it'd be more comparable to Thunder Cat's primary giving him a big damage boost for his next shot when he activates his primary. That'd be the starting point and ascensions could further modify it from there. Like I suggested: maybe an ascension that guarantees a one-shot if you crit from stealth on non elite/bosses. Another could refresh the duration of the stealth if you kill someone with your stealth shot. Stuff like that.

I doubt they'll ever put a stealth character in the game, just threw it out there as wishful thinking. :P
