The Leader of the Fated Four's Deviant is really good, but I think they should've added him alongside the other Flagship Deviants in XX...

Badass design, it appears to be a Giant Glavenus whose shell has become black due to constently sharpening. His horns and spines are more developed and have a deeper red color. His eyes also got a red coloration, which makes him look even scarier in my opinion.

Unfortunatly Hellblade loses his battle theme and gets the Deviant one, which isn't bad but it doesn't fit him.

Hellblade Glavenus' equipment is undoubtly one of the, if not the best Deviant equipment in the game. His armor gives very useful skills and the weapons are extremely powerful.

While it doesn't change much from Glavenus, the Black Knight is still pretty interesting to fight. Unlike regular Glavenus, Hellblade can use his powerful tail spin twice in a row. He also has a new jump attack where he quickly runs then jump before landing a powerful blow. Hellblade's most noticeable change is the fact that he has two modes: a fire mode, and a blast mode. In his Fire mode, this Glavenus will obviously inflicts Fireblight, while he will deal blast damage in his blast mode. It is worth mentionning that his moves gain incredible range while in blast mode and he can release powder with his tail spin and bite attacks so be careful. His tail is also more vulnerable and you can make Glavenus fall over drop a shiny should you damage his tail sufficently.

All in all, Hellblade Glavenus is a great Deviant, who gives good equipment and has a nice design, but it doesn't change much from Glavenus even with all those minor changes. I think It would've been better that they introduce him in XX with the other three, because it could've been more different. Fortunately, he might get more new stuff in XX since they gave him a new move.
