It takes a few seconds to activate and will be canceled by using any abilities or attacking.
Travel Mode - Perhaps inspired by Heroes of the Storm's mount system or League of Legends' "Homeguard" boots, Travel Mode is something every Hero can activate while moving if they want to travel faster. The recall animation takes a few seconds to complete and will be canceled if the Hero takes any damage. Recall - Similar to League of Legends, players can press "B" to recall from the field back into base. Individual items can be further upgraded with more points. Shopping in base will open up the menu of item "cards," as well as the "card points" available to invest into items.

The "Intro and Tutorial" trailer for Paragon is surprisingly revelatory, providing early details on many of the MOBA's core gameplay systems. Most of the time spent in the trailer follows Steel, a melee brawler with a few cybernetic tricks up his sleeve. This includes several characters that aren't "officially" unveiled, as the game's website continues to show only five of Paragon's Heroes. All of the characters shown in the first gameplay trailer from Paragon seem to be included, luckily. While the trailer is exciting, fans shouldn't expect any newly revealed characters, as Epic Games is most likely saving them for larger, higher stakes marketing opportunities.
