LawBreakers Gets Stealthy With Some Wraith Role Analysis

With the game's release coming up in just a few weeks, Boss Key Productions is showing off a lot of their upcoming shooter, LawBreakers. The multiplayer arena game is set for a August 8th release for the PS4 and PC, and is getting a physical release of the collector's edition via Limited Run Games. More recently, an open beta was released which had players seeing who really was the best when you take gravity out of the way in a battle arena. Even though the beta trial period ended a few weeks back, it still doesn't mean that there isn't more for Boss Key to show off. Today's breakdown took us deep into the role analysis of the Wraith class, which is the game's stealth expert.

There are two characters that are featured predominantly in the trailer. Both represent the wraith class but are very different in personality: the Syndicate affiliated Helix is a wanted weapons broker whereas the Archangels affiliated Deadlock is a teched-out rich boy. So, one is Iron Man, and the other is Batman.

But the highlight of this latest LawBreakers video is the skills of the class itself. Wraiths are known to be most effective in close quarter combat (CQC) and have a number of skills and weapons to achieve this. The Wasp short sword gives players a versatile melee weapon that can even be thrown at enemies. And as an added surprise, if embedded weapon is shot with the Spektor automatic pistol, than it will explode leaving behind a bloody mess. The wraith is quick and agile with the quick slide move to bridge the gap between enemies at a distance. This class also has a number of vertical options with double, triple, and wall jumps to play around with. Based on the matches I watched at E3, the wraith is definitely going to be a class you want to watch out for, because despite bringing a knife to a gunfight, they're fast as all hell and tricky to boot.

However, their most interesting skill is the 'Chrono Switch' ability. Basically this slows down your opponents movement speed if you hit them with this shockwave. But not only does the movement speed decrease, effected targets will also find their shot rate and own unique abilities tapped for speed. So it is the ultimate speed trap.

You can watch the Wraith in action below. LawBreakers will release on August 8th for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
