Lore
Marco Polo is an adventurer and explorer from a distant western land. In the mythology of Primaera, he traversed vast deserts and mountain ranges to reach the eastern kingdoms, bringing with him foreign technology and a fearless curiosity. His twin pistols are relics of his homeland's craftsmanship, and his fighting style reflects a traveler who has learned to survive on the road.
Combat Style
Marco Polo's combat revolves around constant movement and sustained fire. He strafes while shooting, gaining movement speed bonuses during his attack sequences. His damage output scales with attack speed: the faster he attacks, the more bullets he fires per ability activation. This makes attack speed one of his most important stats to build.
Abilities
Marco Polo's kit in the MOBA features mechanics that are expected to carry over in adapted form to the open-world RPG. His confirmed abilities include:
Ability | Description |
|---|---|
Chain Reaction (Passive) | Basic attacks and skill hits stack marks on enemies. At maximum stacks, the target takes bonus true damage. Higher attack speed increases the bullet count on certain skills. |
Resplendent Revolver | Fires rapidly in a target direction for a sustained burst while gaining increased movement speed during the barrage. The number of bullets scales with attack speed. |
Roaming Gun | A short-range teleport in the target direction. Passively grants bonus attack and movement speed when an enemy is within detection range. |
Fevered Barrage (Ultimate) | Marco Polo moves forward while firing a sweeping barrage at all nearby enemies for several seconds. The number of barrages increases with attack speed, up to a cap. This ability can critically hit and apply lifesteal. |
Playstyle Tips
Marco Polo rewards players who can maintain constant movement while dealing damage. In the open world, his mobility makes him effective for kiting groups of enemies and clearing camps quickly. His teleport provides an escape tool when surrounded.
Stack attack speed early in your gear build to unlock additional bullets on Resplendent Revolver and Fevered Barrage.
Use Roaming Gun to reposition behind enemies before triggering Fevered Barrage for maximum coverage.
Chain Reaction's true damage bonus makes Marco Polo effective against high-defense enemies and bosses.
In co-op, stay behind your team's tank or warrior and focus on sustained damage from a safe distance.
