Echoes Extension
We have improved Echoes and extended their number, from 15 Echoes to 31! We have also reworked their preview visuals to better represation of what they are about and to better distinguish each one.
In order to keep finding the Echoes you like more frequently we have increased the options pool from 3 to 4!
Preview of some of the new Echoes -
Elemental Summons
All Zodiac Summons are now linked to an effect, same for Echoes. Together Zodiacs and Echoes summons cover all existing effects in the game.
Taurus will now give 4 Spirit Swords
Pisces now spawn Ice Swords on hit
Capricorn summon will also create Meteors during its summon.
We have also improved interface visuals of Zodiacs summon chests -
New Void boss - Hydra
Hydra is joining Pegasus, Lupus & Draco as Void Bosses, 2 new ones will come for Final Release. Hydra manipulates the elements and is a dangerous foe, be careful!
Andromeda's Trials
We have reworked some existing Trials that were too easy, we think it is fine for Trials to be a bit hard because you have no punishment for failing them. We have also created many new Trials, from 8 to 17.
Here are some new ones -
Oops we did it again... 84 new auras!
So... yes we have added 84 new Auras to the game with a lot of new Astral ones. To better enjoy them we have also increased the drop chances of Astral Auras because we think they were too rare and that it's fun to be able to build around them from early game.
We tried to create fun Astral Auras, we re-used some effects from Common Spells for a few Astral Auras making you build chain-reaction builds with impressive visuals!
These new Auras greatly increase build potentials and most of them require you to create builds around them and do not work by themselves which works perfectly with the increased drop chances.
We are also making a lot of progress on Final Release and we are going super big for it, we cannot wait to show you all surprises we are working on!
As always we hope you enjoy this update, if you do don't hesitate to leave us a Steam review, we are getting very close of the 1000 reviews which was our objective before Final Release! ✨
Have a great day and upcoming week-end,
- The Hibernian Workshop Team
