Roll of Honor: Kano

Dec 07, 2023 Legend Story Studios

That’s where the trouble began. That smile.

The poor aether construct didn’t know exactly how much danger it was really in, as it flickered in front of the tomb entrance, painting the catacombs an angry orange. With a sly smirk, the young Wizard intruder calmly splayed his palm, releasing twin arcs of white-hot lightning. The construct contorted its bubbling frame out of harm's way, as the bolts careened past their target. It cackled hideously at the Wizard, rearing up to vaporise him in a single burst.

Kano couldn’t believe it was actually this easy. Without breaking his smug grin, he clicked his fingers. The dual lightning bolts, which had been silently swirling in the space behind the construct, suddenly melded together and condensed into a single point. There was a brief quiet moment in which the construct learned what regret felt like for the first time, before the compressed energy exploded in a deafening sonic boom, scattering the construct’s essence into insignificant wisps.

Kano confidently strode forth into the tomb, immediately spying a dusty leather bound tome sitting tantalisingly upon a cracked pedestal. He flipped through the ancient pages, and the smile on his face stretched even wider. Not only was it perfect, none of the other Wizards knew about it. He would emerge from the catacombs armed with secrets they could only dream about possessing. That made him dangerous, and oh how he loved being dangerous.


Young Kano Hero Art


Debuting in Arcane Rising on March 27th 2020, Kano formed the backbone of Blitz when the format was first officially released and would remain the central figurehead that every other hero had to tiptoe around for the entirety of his young Wizarding career. With unique instant-speed gameplay mechanics, Kano would steal wins out of nowhere, providing a fresh challenge for both players each and every game.

Kano would evolve over the years as his arcane reservoir fluctuated, but no matter what tools were available to him at any given time, he was always an iconic threat who made you think twice about removing your Arcane Barrier. Whatever insanely convoluted combo line Kano needed to find in order to win, players reveled in pulling off the impossible, and basking in the satisfaction of robbing victory from the opponent at the last second.

Kano officially reached Living Legend status in Blitz on December 1st 2023. His departure will drastically reshape the entire foundation of Blitz, bringing forth the dawn of a new era. Congratulations to all the players who taught Lessons in Lava, your names will forever be emblazoned in the glory of the Royal Court with the Roll of Honor!
