Genji the pollen prophet is one of the last of his species: an Entin. These rapidly reproducing caterpillars with an insatiable hunger almost got wiped out by starvation. Only a group of Popae monks on the moon of the Entin homeplanet survived by fasting and meditating. But in a moment of spiritual weakness Genji was caught scoffing down a rationed jar of Jagra eggs. He was banished and sent on a pilgrimage to restore his faith in the great space butterfly.
The new ‘naut is the first serious support character to join the ranks since Voltar. Shielding allies and banishing enemies, Genji is great at neutralizing enemy attacks. The character is currently put through it’s paces in closed beta, together with a major balance overhaul. These changes will be rolled into the live version as soon as testing has finished. The tentative balance notes and related discussion can be found here: http://www.awesomenauts.com/
