Dear community,
We are happy to present the first deity from Chinese Mythology - Sun Wukong, the Monkey King!
With the Monkey King, we are also revealing some new important mechanics that will be introduced in the upcoming Chinese Mythology Pack free DLC:
Yin-yang*: A state that each Chinese deity will possess in combat. Switching to a different state will cause the Divine Cards to change effects accordingly. Players may use Yin or Yang Divine Cards depending on the battle circumstances, giving more depth to their gameplay strategy.
For example, the Monkey King's Divine Card (Yang) will deal Trample Damage to a single target, with a chance to apply Silencing effect on the enemy. In contrast, his Divine Card (Yin) can deal AoE damage to multiple enemies. The former can be useful against elites and bosses, while the latter will be handy against a group of enemies.
Other new mechanics/effects that will be implemented in Chinese Mythology Pack:
Silence: the ability to make monsters unable to use their skills
Trample: when killing a monster, any excessive damage will proceed to damage another random monster
Please note that the skills of the Monkey King are still subject to balancing changes.
*Yin-yang is an Ancient Chinese philosophical term, often meaning the two sides of things, including dark and bright, negative and positive, black and white, etc.. We won't get into the details here.
