Shacknews recently had the opportunity to interview Iron Galaxy’s Adam Heart to discuss the recently released Kan-Ra. A portion of the interview is provided below with the full interview available at the Shacknews website.

Shacknews: I’ve seen some cool ranged attacks and some neat counters, but what type of KI player is Kan-Ra best suited for?

Adam Heart: Making new characters to add to KI in season 2, we are always looking to fill a gap and appeal to a player type or gameplay type that nothing currently in the game does. Kan-Ra may appeal to fans of trap-based characters, zoners, or grapplers. If you like two of those things, you are almost sure to like him. If you enjoy all three, we think you are in for a treat. We affectionately call him a “Trappler.”

Shacknews: Which of Kan-Ra’s moves and combos are you particularly proud of? What did you see from him that just made you go, “Ok, that’s badass!”

Adam Heart: I really like the way he can ping-pong you off of his spikes into swarms and into tornadoes. It’s a like a crazy Rube Goldberg of sandy death. Of course, his ranged command throw “Clutch” is totally amazing, and his sand construct Antlion is also pretty damn cool.

Shacknews: What have players had to say about Kan-Ra thus far? And what have players shown you about the character that you weren’t necessarily expecting?

Adam Heart: We have a really scary Kan-Ra player in our QA department, so we haven’t seen anything surprising just yet. He is a tricky character that will take some time to get the hang of for most players, so it may take a month or two to see his potential start to show in the wild. People seem to really be digging his personality, visual effects, gameplay, and animation. Keep playing him and see what you can discover!
