The Series EV is an additional hero class available as part of the Series EV Hero DLC. It was released for the PC on March 29, 2012.

Promotional Description

Assembled long ago by a master mechanic within the depths of Sky City, the Series EV automaton has been powered back to life and is ready for action! By placing down an array of powerful Electronic Beams of any length, EV can decimate enemy forces. The longer the length of the beam the more Defense Units each costs to build.

She can store up to two Guns and Magic Staffs in her memory bank, reproducing their capabilities with her "Assimilable Range Cannon", and can switch between any two such weapons on the fly. Furthermore, EV can consume vast quanities of Mana power to unleash a destructive Proton Charge Blast and project a Holographic Decoy which will attract and confuse enemies before exploding in their faces.

Defenses

The Series EV can deploy a host of specialized defenses between any two points (or nodes). Each defense can be adjusted in length, with longer defensive lines costing more Defense Units (DUs) but possessing higher health (HP).

• File:Stunbeam.png
  Proton Beam - An intense beam that constantly zaps all ground enemies foolish enough to walk along its path. Costs 3-6 defense units.

• File:Barrierwall.png
  Physical Beam - A simple but versatile blockade, capable of being adapted to any location. Blocks the movement of ground enemies, slowing their progress. Costs 2-5 defense units.

• File:Reflectivewall.png
  Reflection Beam - Reflects enemy projectiles back at other enemies. Costs 1-3 defense units.

• File:Shockbeam.png
  Shock Beam - A laser trip wire with a delayed detonation that stuns and damages ground enemies which pass it. Has a limited number of detonation charges, similar to Huntress traps. Costs 4-7 defense units.

• File:Towerbeam.png
  Tower Buff Beam - A beam which increases the effectiveness of other hero defenses by a percentage along its length and goes down only when an affected unit does. Costs 4-6 defense units.

Abilities

• 
  Holographic Decoy - Projects a holographic replica of the Series EV to attract and fool your foes. Explodes upon destruction or detonation, hurting all nearby enemies.

• 
  Proton Charge Blast - Toggle to absorb mana and store it. Attack while active to unleash that stored mana in a devastating penetrating shot that deals splash damage to your enemies. Firing phase length dependant on mana collected.

Weapon Skills

• Can equip Apprentice and Huntress weapons. Two weapons may be held at once (i.e. two apprentice weapons, or two huntress weapons, or one of each).
• Passive Effects (such as heath boosts and tower boost) of both weapons equipped are applied at all times, but not any effect relating to weapons, which are kept seperate.
• Press "X" or click by default to switch between the two.
• Gamepad (namely Xbox 360 controller) users can press the left stick button to switch between weapons.
