14 DAY TRIAL // Hawkgirl is making her way to the superhero roster of Infinite Crisis, Turbine's multiplayer online battle arena game, on January 21.
Infinite Crisis is based on the fictional universe of DC Comics, published by Warner Bros. Interactive as a free-to-play video game supported by in-game purchases, featuring the most iconic heroes and villains of the popular DC Universe franchise.
Alongside Aquaman, Batman, Green Lantern, The Joker, Swamp Thing, Superman or Wonder Woman, players will also be able to pick Hawkgirl starting the end of the month.
Hawkgirl is a masked vigilante, using a flight harness and powerful mace to fight crime in ways her mundane day life as a police officer would never allow her to.
She is a very aggressive brawler, with high mobility and good chasing ability. The special properties of her mace make her very disruptive against blasters.
She can do well both in lane and in the jungle, where her skillset offers her excellent harassment and ganking opportunities.
Her ultimate has the potential to turn losing battles around, and her abilities make her a champion very well suited to surprise attacks from over natural barriers.
Tools of the trade
Hawkgirl's passive is titled Thrill of Battle, making basic attacks made against her grant her stacks of power armor, which she loses if she doesn't attack anyone for a couple of seconds.
Her first ability, Soar, grants Hawkgirl increased movement speed and empowers her next basic skill, while also breaking any existing slow effects on the character.
The Soar effect is lost after using a skill, but the ability's cooldown is reset upon scoring a kill or an assist.
Mace Throw is a ranged skill shot dealing attack damage to the first champion hit, doing reduced damage to any drones and creatures it may pass through.
When used under the effects of Soar, Mace Throw marks and reveals the champion hit by it, enabling Hawkgirl to activate the skill again in order to dash to her target, dealing attack damage and stunning it.
Her next ability, Haymaker, empowers Hawkgirl's next basic attack, making it deal additional damage and causing the target to be silenced for a short time period.
If Hawkgirl is Soaring, Haymaker deals more damage, based on the target's max health, and silences for a longer duration.
Her ultimate skill is Howling Eye, making Hawkgirl uppercut the enemy champion, knocking them up and dealing attack damage. Nearby enemies are also knocked up and dealt Power Damage, and for each enemy struck, Hawkgirl gains a power damage shield.
