Khatun is very cool but...

I think we can all agree that they really COOKED with Khatun (well, everyone but the art department—seriously, her armor variations feel weak compared to the rest of her design).

Her kit and playstyle make her stand out as an incredibly interesting hero, even though she fills the same niche as Aramusha, being another double-sword user. The animation team absolutely crushed it with her moveset, nailing the fierce, precise mastery of the blade with effects that make her brutality really stand out.

Honestly, she’s probably one of the best additions in the entire lifespan of the game, which is saying something since we’re eight years deep at this point.

And that, my friends, brings me to my question, my plea, my SPARTAN RALLY CRY—Hoplite/Spartan when? Ubisoft has proven they can take the same weapon type and give it an entirely unique spin for each hero. They’ve shown they can still cook! So, Ubisoft, what we crave, nay, NEED is a hulking, muscular, ARMORED warrior straight out of Sparta (or ‘Krata’ if you’re going for the fictional flavor).

Picture this; The glint of a spear spinning in the air. A towering shield, etched with battle scars, smashing into an opponent's face. A bone-rattling kick to the chest that sends enemies flying. A fighting style full of precision, aggression, and enough testosterone to power a thousand battle cries. THIS. This is what the game needs. I don’t just want spear gameplay—I crave it. I want to feel the spirit of Leonidas guiding my hands as I charge into battle screaming, THIS. IS. SPARTA.

Ubisoft, I would literally buy the Hoplite four times over. I’d buy the damn Battle Pass just for this guy. I’d gift it to my entire squad. BUT—and this is crucial—don’t do me dirty by making him female. I need the manly Spartan warrior energy, the kind that turns the battlefield into a stage for pure testosterone-fueled destruction. Once we get our Spartan, THEN you can drop that toothpick-wielding rapier hero (who, let’s be honest, will probably be amazing too). But first? First, we march on Sparta.

That’s all I have to say. Thanks for coming to my Sparta Talk.
