This entire month has been dedicated to finishing all the ongoing features. This is a very ambitious update that we are working on, here are some recent news about it.

New Effects, Gambits and Auras: the Synergy rework

We were not entirely satisfied with the Gambits, Effects and Auras that we had in the game. We knew the system was very interesting but when creating builds we felt it always lacked - Synergy. What we call Synergy is the possible combinaisons between the different playable elements that you can find in the game - Spells, Gambits, Auras, Effects. We had the feeling that very few synergies existed and it was mainly about multi-hit spells and mono-hit spells. After a lot of design talks, we improved the system and made many changes to improve it and make it more central to the game progression. - First, we removed many of the Auras and Gambits that were not very interesting to play with, for example the ones dealing more damages if enemy health is full or depending of number of effects affecting the enemies. - Second, we added several new unique effects to create more synergies opportunities between your spells, auras and gambits! What we call Effects are elements negatively affecting enemies, we have also reworked the way Effects stacks are displayed above enemies as you can see below. [previewyoutube=xd_7BqI8avM;full][/previewyoutube] We also added some new summons that will trigger Effects, here are some for you to enjoy! [previewyoutube=YlSIfAjjl3Q;full][/previewyoutube] A feeling that we had in game for a while was the feeling of not really choosing your build regarding the gambits you equip on your spell, here are some balancing changes according to this. Spells will now always come with at least 2 gambit slot available minimum. Gambit slot unlocker cost has been reduced from 200 to 75 quartz to be a lot more affordable. - Finally we also reworked all the Gambits icons and Aura icons to have a more distinct personality and be much more clearer.

Elites visual rework

Another system that got a visual rework are the elites enemies. They now have an all new color palette applied to them to really feel like different enemies! We also reworked the UI to have icons above their head instead of a text for a better visibility.
