The Eight Combat Rover Classes of Million on Mars
The diverse combat classes of Rovers participating in Dust, Rust and Glory are sure to make the event unforgettable. With each archetype inspired by popular character classes from various genres, the rovers are designed to fulfill specific roles on the battlefield. From the stealthy Shadow Strider and the resilient Titan Juggernaut to the supporting Mendicant Mechanic and the powerful Arcane Artillerist, each class has its unique strengths and weaknesses, making for an intense and strategic competition.
Rover level progression is essential for unlocking new gear and participating in higher-tier battles. To level up, rovers must accumulate Prestige Points by engaging in arena battles, with more points awarded for victories and bonus Prestige Points given based on specific winning conditions in different PvP formats. As a rover's level increases, it becomes eligible for more advanced gear and competitive brackets, ultimately shaping the outcome of Dust, Rust and Glory's electrifying showdowns.
As anticipation builds for the Thunderdome Trials, fans eagerly await the spectacle of Mars' finest combat rovers, each honing their unique abilities and strategies to emerge victorious in the rover vs. rover battles. #RoverCombatClasses #LevelUpRovers #DustRustGlory
