Hello to our dear fools! We've decided to let you in on some juicy secrets from the Development team! Introducing part one of our developer blog! We'll give you some keen insights into the game as we progress through development and let you know our thought processes into our game mechanics!
We've just finished the rework on Hink's ability and I think it's a nice kick-off for the dev blog! Hink's ability is the following: When one of her projectiles does a critical hit, the projectile explodes applying each of its current effects in a medium-size area of effect around the point of impact.
As you can see in the GIF, a critical shot inflicts damage on every buzzers around and she's able to kill a few of them with a single shot on a critical hit. (Note that in this clip, the character was given items to reach a critical hit chance of about 30% for showcase purposes)
Hink's ability can combo with many things in the game and aims for a high-damage crit build. Remember that EVERY effect of a projectile that deals a critical hit will be applied in the area of effect (not only damage)... We'll let you discover how far those combos can go. 👀
That's all for now! Make sure you check back for more developer blogs as time goes on! We can't wait to share more with you all!
