Hello everyone, and welcome back for another NecroLand: Undead Corps update!
Last week we introduced Alpha Incisor, Alpha Viper, and Alpha Barbecue. Today we'll take a closer look at their grimmer and grittier unlockable counterparts: Dark Incisor, Dark Viper, and Dark Barbecue. But it's not just their look that sets them apart, they also have their own unique skills that are very different from their Alpha versions.
Dark Incisor
Like its counterpart, Dark Incisor has fast movement speed and attacks from close range. But instead of the axe, it cuts down enemies by swinging a machete-like blade.
Dark Incisor's special skill is called "Physical Reinforcement." When activated, its movement and attack speed are boosted for a short period of time. This skill causes a substantial increase to the amount of damage inflicted per second, or DPS. During Physical Reinforcement, a player can move in close to an enemy more quickly than any other Alpha Units in the game, and deal a massive amount of burst damage.
Developer Comments: Dark Incisor may look similar to Alpha Incisor, but its very powerful Physical Reinforcement skill makes it more of a "small hulk" type, destroying everything in its path. We recommend Dark Incisor if you're looking for an Alpha Unit that's suitable for a highly aggressive play style.
Dark Viper
Just like Alpha Viper, Dark Viper has an acid-firing rifle and attacks the same way (from a safe distance). Have your minions charge at the enemy while you sit back and support them with your ranged firepower.
They may look similar, but Dark Viper has a more specialized skill when compared to its Alpha counterpart. Its "Snipe" skill has much higher damage output and longer aiming range. But there's a catch: It can only target enemy Alpha Units, not their troops.
Developer Comments: Dark Viper is a Viper unit that has developed its ranged attack ability to the maximum. Its "Snipe" skill can eliminate enemy Alpha Units easily, allowing you to absorb their armies. If you're looking to take out an enemy with one huge blow, then you must choose Dark Viper.
Dark Barbecue
Like Alpha Barbecue, this Alpha Unit brings a flamethrower to the battlefield and will torch anyone who comes within range. But what makes the enemies of Dark Barbecue turn extra crispy?
Instead of the long flame burst that Alpha Barbecue uses, Dark Barbecue can spray its flame in short bursts. It also "sticks" to anyone who comes in contact with the flame... even if it's just for a split second.
Developer Comments: Don't assume that all flames are the same! The flame from Dark Barbecue is something special, because its "Ignite" skill deals continuing damage over time to any enemy it touches. If you prefer harassing your enemies with a constant threat, Dark Barbecue is the way to go.
About Duo Mode
In Duo mode, you team up with either your friend or one random player and fight against four other teams. This mode is basically Battle Royale with a teammate. You'll have to work together and coordinate your efforts if you expect to be the last surviving team.
One unique feature of Duo Mode is that your teammate can respawn next to you a certain amount of time after they are killed, and vice versa. However, when you respawn, you will lose significant amount of leveling progress, all your items and your army, forcing you to start from scratch. So it's very important to stay alive as long as possible to preserve your strength. Of course, if both you and your teammate are killed, it means "game over" for your team.
In our next post, we'll take a closer look at the last three unique Alpha Units and explain Defense mode. Stay tuned and be sure to wishlist Necroland: Undead Corps to get updates!
