Here is the list of Alani's attacks and abilities:

  • TORRENT: Through years of training in Ket, her order’s martial art, Alani has honed her ability to control water, hurling water bolts to damage enemies.
  • WELLSPRING: Channeling her focus and strength, Alani heals herself for a small amount or envelopes an ally in water to heal them.
  • RIPTIDE: Alani sends forth a wave of water that deals damage to enemies, pushes them away, and leaves a trail hastening allies’ movement speed.
  • GEYSER: Calling upon the power of the oceans, a groundswell erupts, knocking enemies into the air, damaging and binding them.
  • EMERGENCE: Alani summons a water dragon that deals damage to everything caught in its wake.
  • (Passive) OSMOSIS: Alani’s healing abilities swell and recede like the tide. Successfully landing hits with Torrent grants up to three stacks to temporarily increase the healing power of Wellspring.

2K and Gearbox also revealed the next hero that will be free for everyone with 47,500 credits earned in-game. He can also be unlocked using one hero key. He will be available in the next couple months.

"Hailing from the water world of Akopos, and pals with Alani, Pendles is a cold-blooded killer," reads the description for the new hero. "No, literally. This anthropomorphized reptile will ssssneak up on you, poison you, perforate you with dual kamas then – poof – disappear without leaving a trace. Oh, yeah, and he wears a dope pair of sneakers.  Get it? “Ssssneaky”?!? Wears sneakers?!? (Fine…fine.) This Rogue’s rogue may be a cold-blooded assassin-for-hire, but Ghalt felt was safer to have him on the team, than not."

Alani is one of five free new heroes coming to Battleborn.
