Now that we have most of the major launch bugs and feature requests worked out, we wanted to post an update on Development progress as we continue on to work on the content for the upcoming Frozen Tundra update. We'll be posting more of these sorts of updates as we go along.
First, we wanted to thank everyone who has contributed bug reports, feedback, and content. We're also glad to see many of you enjoying theorycrafting and pushing the difficulty in endless run attempts. We make games for you, the players, so it's great to see participation in the community!
The main feature of this post is to showcase a couple of the upcoming heroes you'll be able to find amongst the ice and snow. Let's start with Claire's new Frozen form! When Frozen Tundra releases, this form will unlock for anyone who has completed the Wasteland story mission.
Frozen Form Claire
This Claire uses science and technology to master her environment, the ice and snow of the Tundra. She can encase herself in ice for protection, and can apply piercing ice type damage to her and her allies' attacks. She can also summon an automated drone to pelt enemies with ice attacks.
As always, she will be able to borrow skills from many of the upcoming heroes, and a few of the existing ones.
Sovras, the Necromancer
Sovras is centered around dealing Dark type damage while using endless hordes of undead as literal meat shields. Not content to sit in the back lines, Sovras actually works best as a tank. He automatically summons Zombies who block damage for him and dish out some damage of their own. In addition, he has various way to reduce and redirect incoming damage, steal health, and even avoid death itself.
Offensively, Sovras' featured skill, Grave's Call, guides enemies to their demise, which deals increasing Dark type damage as his target loses HP, and can keep them from Bleeding Out.
Sovras' relics provide Physical and Dark damage mitigation effects, and access to his Grave's Call skill.
What's Next?
We'll be posting more of these updates, with character reveals and other things, as we continue working on things and get closer to our next content release. We hope you're having fun with the current content, but we certainly want to get more of it into your hands!
