The next hero to return back to OMDU from phase 1 has been revealed to be the Apprentice. She will be returning as Zoey, the student that Max has under his wing. Zoey retains her uniqueness from phase 1, her ability to cast magic from the various schools of magic (Arcane, Lightning, Fire, and Frost) and she will once again be bringing her friend baby firebat “Feebee” to the battlefield to help out.

Details of her return can be found at the official website where Lead Designer Paul Hellquist has penned a blog explaining her abilities (including her new shift ability) which have been re-worked since phase 1. You can read all about her by following the link below:
