    Whip it good with this brand-new character class, Cadena. The lone survivor of Magnus’s attack on the Heliseum royal family wields a menacing chain to fend off her enemies. The Shadowdealers raised her with a streetwise edge, too, so don’t take her lightly.

    Players leveling up any new character can earn additional free gifts during this event.
