The Final Charge is upon us! Update 0.7 is the biggest update we’ve had with a host of new features and an abundance of changes to all areas including visual, AI, gameplay, items, refuge, interface, networking, and general changes.
Commander Clegg
Leading the charge is a new hero: Commander Clegg! Heading into battle with his legion of Phalanxes.
Blightrifts
A new evil has spawned with a new rarest tier of loot to be gathered if this evil can be defeated. Blightrifts. These are challenge rooms that have a chance of spawning in higher level dungeons, defeat these challenge rooms and unlock the rarest Blighted Items!
- The Rift of Separation: Defeat waves of enemies while the Mage is trapped in a magical dome!
- The Rift of Gathering: Prismix the Blood Mage has a hunger for Mana orbs, satisfy that hunger and escape with your lives!
- Rift of Running: Don’t waste your head start, stay clear and ahead of the giant Amalgamation while solving puzzles and dodging traps!
- The Rift of Bowling: A foe has become a friend? Kill enemies by hitting the Writhing Orb towards them!
If you are downed in a challenge room, not to worry, you will be teleported back to the dungeon where you entered the Blightrift and no progress will be lost in your run. But you must complete Blightrifts if you want to get your hands on the elusive Blighted Items!
New Legendary Items
We have introduced 5 new Legendary items, including a community submission!
- Vortex Blade: A community item from the item contest. Equip the Vortex Blade on a Warrior, gain rage, and pull your enemies close for devastating blows!
- Manaburst Brooch: Equip this on your favourite hero and create an explosion every time you pick up a mana orb.
- Mechanical Wheel: Need to be more nimble, get an extra dodge with this new item!
