Hello there, dragon hunters!
It’s time for us to bring you some development news on Dragonkin! gifs! Screenshots! And teasers!
On today's DevBlog, we're giving you a closer look at the Tracker’s Talents, along with 2 more skills.
However, before we get into showing what the Tracker has to offer, we’d like to ensure we’re all on the same page about the upcoming major update and especially when you should expect it.
When is the Tracker Update?
We know many players are waiting for the Tracker Update to be available before jumping back into Dragonkin, and honestly, we’re just as impatient as you are.
To be fully transparent, we originally planned to launch the Tracker Update by the end of August.
However, as many of you have probably noticed, the Hack & Slash space has become extremely crowded over the past few weeks.
As a small team, launching a major update right alongside well-established titles backed by far greater visibility and marketing resources is simply too risky for us.
So, we’ve decided to hold back and delay the Tracker Update.
Late September is looking like a potential release window, but the team is keeping a close eye on how the landscape evolves before locking in a new release date. We’re reluctant to make firm promises.
In the meantime, we’re preparing the promotional campaign and will continue posting DevBlogs with the latest news on the Tracker Update.
How is development going?
Development is progressing as planned, and the team is now also actively working on the multiplayer update, a particularly complex task that we know is highly anticipated as well.
Thanks again for your patience, and please wait warmly!
Now then, let’s take a closer look at what the Tracker has to offer!
Tracker's talents
Qara Tani comes with a total of 4 talents, each designed to enhance a specific playstyle, whether that’s critical hits, area control or projectile-focused builds.
In this dev blog, we’re giving you a first look at 3 of them:
Pack Hunter,
Critical Surge,
Projectile Flurry,
How about the 4th talent? We're keeping that one for later purposes...
Pack Hunter
Qara Tani drops traps while moving. The faster you move, the faster the gauge fills to drop a trap. When triggered, these traps immobilize. When you apply ANY crowd control effects (including from those traps), there’s a chance to summon a Draghurss, a temporary summon that dashes through enemies and deals damage.
It’s worth noting that Draghurss benefit from Summon Damage modifiers.
Overall, Pack Hunter is great if your build leans into crowd control effects. The more control you apply, the more chances you have to trigger Draghurss summons.
Critical Surge
If you like seeing big numbers pop up on your screen, Critical Surge is for you.
This talent increases both your critical chance and critical damage, making it a solid choice for burst-focused builds but also fast-paced rotations as It also includes a small amount of built-in energy regeneration whenever you use Targeting, the Tracker’s innate ability.
Projectile Flurry
You like projectiles, we like projectiles, we give more projectiles!
Some of Quara Tani’s ranged abilities fire projectiles, so supporting that kind of build felt like an obvious choice. Projectile Flurry is straightforward: it increases the number of projectiles while letting you deal more damage.
It also has a chance to send a blade, scaling with your critical chance. This blade works just like her innate Targeting, but doesn’t consume Marks, making it a reliable source of burst damage.
2 New skills
Explosive Shot
Qara Tani fires an explosive projectile in the target direction, dealing physical damage to enemy hit and inflicting Bleed for 6 seconds, dealing physical damage over time, and marking them.
Line of Defense
Qara Tani deploys a line of traps in front of her, lasting for up to 8 seconds.
Each trap triggers when an enemy comes into contact with it, immobilizing them for 3 seconds, and dealing physical damage and damage over time, marking them.
That’s it for now
