About
Devinder “Dev” Crousley is one of the playable characters in Redfall.
Dev has traveled the world trying to prove the existence of the weird and supernatural. An author, brilliant inventor, and self-styled “cryptid-hunter,” Dev has found some measure of internet fame through his expeditions and learnings. He was in Redfall to promote his latest book when the vampires cut the island off from the outside world, leaving him stranded.
Now he’s going to have to put all of his expertise to the test as he fights to survive and escape Redfall. Thankfully, his studies have granted him the knowledge he needs to craft his own anti-vampire weaponry. And if he just so happens to make it off the island with proof that his gadgets work and vampires are real… well, that’s just a nice bonus.

Abilities
Dev has three action skills that give him great crowd-control abilities and ways for him to deal AoE damage. The first two skills have a cooldown and can constantly be triggered. The third skill is your ultimate skill which can change the tide in battle but needs to be charged up by collecting Psychic Residue.
Arc Javelin
Dev throws a javelin that sticks to enemies or surfaces. After 1 second it shocks multiple nearby enemies as it emits chain lightning. After multiple ticks, repeats after a ~1-sec delay. 10 seconds up time.
Javelin sticks to teleporting Vampires.

Skill Tree
Devinder’s skill tree has 3 branches that each focus on a specific action skill, then there is a fourth branch that lets you boost things like health and inventory space. Jacob also has 4 unique hero perks that enhance this role.
You can fully spec out your skill tree since Game Update 4 as Arkane Austin added 1 Skill Point as a reward for defeating Vampire Under-bosses during the Safe House Missions. Initially, this wasn’t possible even when you reached the level cap so you had to choose your skills wisely.
