Blade Assault just got a new character in Patch v1.2. This update introduces Zett - a man that uses his gigantic cybernetic arms to dish out pain. Part of his kit is a shield that can be recharged by striking enemies.
Zett can also charge forward a short distance, allowing him to close in on his enemies. Not only that, but it seems that he can perform a flaming uppercut or infuse his fists with ice as well.
If you want to use Zett, all you have to do is attain a high enough friendship level and talk to him at the jazz bar. He has nine new upgrades that will further enhance his capabilities, so be sure to farm enough resources to get them all.
Aside from the new character, 12 new danger level debuffs have been added in Patch v1.2. One of the most notable is the Elite Instructor, which makes enemies on the field appear as Elites.
