www.heroesofruin.com/news/meet-the-savage

Today we're introducing you to the fourth and final playable character class in Heroes of Ruin, the Savage. The Savage is a quick and powerful warrior, relying on primal instincts and tribal weaponry to decimate his foes. He has a low focus on defense, but his pure offensive capabilities are so viciously effective that he should rarely find himself with a need to defend.

Ritual and tradition are important to the Savage, and he believes blood and flesh are the all-powerful forces in the world. His fighting style borders on psychotic, with many of his moves leading to an almost sacrificial finisher that allows him to rip organs or other vitals free for consumption.

As the Savage fights, his innate magical energies draw upon his enemy’s death, stealing their life force with every blow. This fuels the Savage and his abilities, making him all the more deadly for the next fight. Some abilities can even rip free these energies mid-fight, allowing him to stand toe to toe with far more deadly enemies.

The Savage takes advantage of its own strength when attacking enemies. As a result, he forgoes conventional weapons in favor of special gloves covered in spikes and blades, just to add insult to injury.

Check out the full list of Savage skills that are available to him in the game:
