Paragon's Hero roster has been getting better and better in recent months. Sevarog, Iggy & Scorch, Riktor, Khaimera and Grim.exe are all exceptional. Even existing Heroes Grux, Feng Mao, Steel, Kallari, Muriel and Gideon are brilliant. Greystone, Paragon's newest fighter, doesn't seem up to the same standard.

This sword and board wielding Hero, as far as datamining is concerned, has two active skills. The rest of his kit is passive, and works automatically. Where most other Heroes have 4 skills they can use, Greystone has two: a leap and an AOE attack. His Ultimate ability automatically triggers when he dies, bringing him back to life with low health and full mana (similar to Wraith King  in DOTA 2). During the animation it also turns him into grey stone which I can assume is where he got his name. 

Although I may be proven wrong, there's a risk that with so few skills his depth is already neutered and I can only assume he has been designed this way to cater to players new to MOBAs. The fact Greystone is also yet another male human is something I was under the impression EPIC were trying to avoid. Hopefully he plays well (his armor does look particularly good).

For the full trailer is below, alongside a full list of his datamined skills. 

Noble Strike - Melee basic attack dealing Physical Damage

Assault the Gates (Active Skill) - Greystone leaps as far as 1000 units, dealing Physical Damage in a small AOE when he lands.

Make Way (Active Skill) - Delivers a Noble Strike and an AOE attack that deals a total of X Physical Damage over Ys.

Stoic (Passive) - Greystone has an additional +Physical Armor and +Max Health. These amounts increase with each level of this ability.

Reforged (Ultimate Passive) - When Greystone dies, he turns to stone. After 3 seconds, his spirit re-enters his body from above, giving him X% health and full mana. He then comes back to life, knocking up and dealing Y Physical Damage to all nearby enemies.
