In case you haven't picked up on the pattern, Atlus has been revealing one new character class for its upcoming 3DS game, Etrian Mystery Dungeon, about every week for the past month or so. This week is no different and it brings the reveal of the Hexer class.
The Hexer is a class that primarily functions around inflicting negative status ailments on enemies through the use of, well, hexes. Debuffs, poison, confusion, and paralysis are all tools of the trade; with presumably countless more to add as the character progresses. This should act as a nice support class to back up front line fighters like the Landsknecht.
As always, here's some footage and screens of the character in action, showing off its various curses:
Etrian Mystery Dungeon is due out in North America on 7th April, while Europeans are still waiting for a release date. Will you be picking this up at launch? What do you think of the Hexer class?

Once again, I'll get it to support Atlus as I love their games. Don't know when I'll be able to get to it though. Really glad Atlus is around to fill a huge void for Nintendo!
Looking forward to this, but unless there's a miracle I won't be getting it launch day (though the pre-order bonus is really cool).
The main issue I've had with this franchise is the first-person perspective. This looks like something I'd actually play.
@Caelum Obviously, it seems like this is more Mystery Dungeon than it is Etrian Odyssey. I'm not a fan of Etrian's first person persepctive either, but this'll be one to keep an eye on. I've never been blown away by Mystery Dungeon games, but this just might be a pleasant surprise.
@Spoony_Tech Atlus has made the 3DS an absolute joy to own the system. Still my favorite game on the system is Shin Megami Tensei IV. I will go back and play that sometime. I do hope Sega's decision to start doing only smartphone and tablet games never effect Atlus from making games for 3DS. Would be cool too see Atlus do some Wii-U games but I think that ship has sailed not only for Atlus but many other top notch companies
@EvisceratorX
What's up with the German class names, Mr. Bird?
@Windy Atlus probably has 5 games in my top 10 for the system. I wouldn't say the 3ds is probably my all time favorite console if there was no Support from Atlus. It would feel more empty.
