Awaken: Chaos Era, the turn-based RPG that was released in the early days of the current year 2022 is almost on its way to completing its half-year anniversary. The game had been in an open beta state for over  1 year the last year and was released with so much content and heroes that it overwhelmed the new players during the global launch. The game is pretty stable now, with over 2 million downloads combined on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. With such an enormous following, the game’s developers have stated that they will work on new heroes to introduce new mechanics and make the game more exciting and competitive.

Awaken: Chaos Era – New Heroes Rick, Agustin and Hazel Added in Latest Update

The new update for Awaken: Chaos Era can be seen already live in-game as it was implemented on 20th July 2022. The update majorly brought more new heroes along with it to diversify the hero pool in the game. As usual, one special hero is going to be available to be summoned via a rate-up banner for a specific duration of time. The 3 new heroes – Rick, Agustin, and Hazel are being added to the roster of summonable heroes in Awaken: Chaos Era. Apart from the release of new heroes, some specific optimizations to different areas of the game and general bug fixes can also be seen. For more details, players can take a look at the official patch notes posted on the game’s official website.

Rick – New Wood Elemental Unit

Rick is a Legendary rarity Wood elemental unit from the Titan Icelands Faction. Rick has a very high base Attack of 1512 and a low base Defense of 562. Rick has one of the highest base Attacks in the game and his ignore defense capabilities are nothing to be laughed about. He excels at dealing single targeted damage and can obliterate entire teams if he can stay alive for a few turns. He needs to be paired with high durability and support heroes to keep him alive. Players can build Rick with Attack%, Critical Hit Rate%/Attack%, and Attack%/Critical Hit Damage% as main stats. We recommend using the Cursed/Assassin/Divine set of gears and emphasizing Attack%, Critical Hit Rate%, Critical Hit Damage%, Focus, and Speed as sub-stats.
