Hi, fellow adorers!
It's been about 6 months that we've been receiving feedback and discussing with the community about the Energy System.
We finally decided to remove it! But this triggers some holes in the game design, so we had tweaked other mechanics to better fit the new system and keep the game challenging and engaging.
Basically, we'll not force the rotation of your creatures anymore. It'll totally depend on you and how you handle your creatures.
Cursed Creatures
Now your creatures can be cursed!
We merged the old Critical Health + Exhaustion system together and simplified them.
If your creature reaches 1 HP, they will get cursed. As you know, the world of Gaterdrik is suffering from a curse that is spreading through all the creatures. So take care of your creatures.
A positive point against the old exhaust system is that now your creatures, even cursed, do not lose attack power! They can still use their Special Ability normally and costs 1 bar of Stamina to summon.
While your creatures have 1 HP, the adorer will still absorb the damage to prevent the creature from dying, but now you can't heal your cursed creatures.
So, how do you remove the curse? There are two ways:
- Leave them purifying at the Sanctuary.
- Apply Divine Protection to your creature.
Divine Protection
You can find Divine Protection in holy fruits. Just give them to your creature and it will purify them.
Divine Protection can also be applied beforehand. Preventing a creature from becoming cursed during combat, bringing more protection to your creatures.
