Wildcat

Abilities[]

This article is about old hero prototype; for newer prototype see: Wild

“Wildcat” was a code name of unreleased hero for Gigantic.

This hero was mentioned numerous times in game's text file and starting from September update it got proper (if not final) descriptions of some of his abilities and upgrades. His short hero description is “Mobile support”.

Speculations based on skills descriptions make “Wildcat” a wind based Warden (like Voden being the Warden of the Forest and Rutger – the Warden of the Land).

In March 2018 modeler and concept artist Katy Hargrove posted images and a model of unknown character titled “Pirate Cat”.^[1] The form of character's head is very similar to the head silhouette on Wildcat's placeholder portrait, but later it was stated to belong to another unreleased hero – “Shadow”.^[2]

In July 2018 an unreleased hero with code name “Wild” was shown at Farewell Stream,^[3] but once again it was later stated to be completely another character, while “Wildcat” was a scraped concept for a long time already.^[4]

Not long before the stream a screenshots of Wildcat's prototype model with simplified skills descriptions was leaked. An old (dated to 2016), but leaked in the same day with the stream, core test build has Wildcat's prototype model and skill kit in game files, although the hero is not available to play there.
