Dungeon Siege 3 Characters Guide: Anjali

Anjali is one of the playable characters in Dungeon Siege 3. She is an archon and she has the power to control fire, which makes her a redoubtable opponent in the game.

Anjali, just like Lucas, Katarina and Reinhart Manx, is a member of the new 10th Legion. Her in-game description offers additional information about her past:

Anjali is an archon – a legend come to life. In the old stories, archons were spirits of fire, who served the long-lost creator gods.

But Anjali was raised by friends of the Legion, and she does not know how she came to this world, or what happened to the others of her kind.

Anjali can shift freely between her human form and an incarnation of elemental fire. In human form, she fights with a staff or a spear, allowing her to fend off multiple attackers while leaping in and out of the fray.

In her fiery incarnation, she can hurl bolts of flame at ranged targets, flood areas with heat and fire, or inflict searing wounds that injure her foes over time.

The guide below, reveals the lists containing Anjali’s abilities, proficiencies and talents, as they appear in the game.
