Paragon is a highly competitive free-to-play third-person MOBA developed by Epic Games. It features classic elements of a MOBA with endless possibilities. The ever-expanding roster of heroes and the unique card system will open the door for wide ranged strategics. The game entered early access on March 18, 2016 for PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows with supporting the play between the two platforms. The open beta for Paragon is starting today, August 16, 2016. How does the game work? The setup in Paragon can be compared with any other current MOBA. Two teams with 5 players each will be competing on the three-lane map called Agora. The player assumes control of a 'hero'. Each hero has their own major attack and possesses five sets of abilities, with one of them being the ultimate ability. When players kill an enemy hero or destroy an enemy tower, they will gain experience and card points which can be used for upgrading different attributes. The first team that destroys the enemies core will win the match.



Before a match is about to start, players can utilize a deck, which allows players to use these card points to purchase upgrades such as health boosts and strength-enhancing artifacts for their heroes and customize them. Characters and cards are divided into five different affinities. A character from one affinity cannot use the cards from other affinities. Card packs can be purchased by reputation points, which are earned through completing a match.



Is it pay to win? No, all of the released heroes and also every future hero will be free to play and cards can only be earned by playing the game. So every player can compete and win without ever spending money. New heroes will be added every three weeks, granting more possibilities and new powers.
