Here's how Shattered Pixel Dungeon's mobile hero select screen will look with the upcoming Cleric added to it. Some visuals are still a WIP, (the cudgel's sprite in particular is very rough) but all the important bits are in place.
You can see the info window for the Cleric here too, showing off some info about their abilities. Just like the Rogue, the Cleric has a unique artifact that lets them access class abilities.
Unlike all the other heroes though, the Cleric gains a wide variety of active abilities (spells) via the talent system! I'll be sharing more info about some of the Cleric's spells in the coming weeks!
(Image Description: A screenshot from Shattered Pixel Dungeon showing the hero select screen and the Cleric selected. On the left the screen is shown with no info window open, on the right the hero info window is open, showing various information relating to the new hero. Most notably: "The Cleric starts with a unique holy tome, which they can use to cast various spells. Most of the Cleric's talents are focused around learning or upgrading spells.")
Starting with purity and remove curse identified is very much in character. Seems quite strong too, for smoothing out the early game.
I’m really excited to learn more about those spells. I love utility/defensive type characters in general!
I had the same thought about pre-identifying purity and remove curse. That would be especially nice in the early levels of a high challenge run.
