7. Expand your universe
Expansions are epic story additions that can be played in any order and can be accessed as soon as you’re done with the tutorial missions. Your character is automatically leveled up to prepare you for each experience, so you won’t be underpowered.
Disciplined and proud, Titans are capable of both aggressive assaults and stalwart defenses. Set your hammer ablaze, crack the sky with lightning and go toe-to-toe with any opponent. Your team will stand tall behind the strength of your shield.
Warlocks weaponize the mysteries of the universe to sustain themselves and destroy their foes. Rain devastation on the battlefield and clear hordes of enemies in the blink of an eye. Those who stand with you will know the true power of the Light.
Agile and daring, Hunters are quick on their feet and quicker on the draw. Fan the hammer of your golden gun, flow through enemies like the wind, or strike from the Darkness. Find the enemy, take aim and end the fight before it starts.
