Battlemon Update Coming Really Really Soon

The next battlemon update, coming this month, will feature many changes, with the highlights listed below. Not all changes are listed (Some should be a surprise!) There are many more features than these.

Abilities

One of the new features that are coming to the game would be abilities. This mechanic would give each character a passive ability in combat, which can range from giving them an immunity to a particular status effect, to boosting the power of their attacks when their HP is a low. It's a small addition - sure, but adds an extra element of strategy to the game. For example, Butter God's ability, Liquid Ooze, makes them take less damage from melee attacks. Another example would be Dunse's ability, synchronise, which changes the opponents status effect to match Dunse's. Most characters have unique abilities, however, some characters may share abilities in the future if characters are closely related, or the ability suits multiple characters.

Bosses in the game also have abilities, such as the currently available dungeon bosses, as well as raid bosses. Regular dungeons enemies (not bosses) do not have abilities.

New Raid Boss: Bald Eagle

Descending from Sky Pillar, Bald Eagle appears!

A new raid boss, Bald Eagle, has been added to the game. He attacks players using his wings in his resolute form, as well as his arrows, using his wings as a bow. He is one of the most powerful raids in the game, posing as a challenge for experienced players.

Character Rework: Split

As One

Split has been given a complete rework in Battlemon, giving him a better representation of his character through his moveset. Split attacks using water based attacks. However, he can switch between fire, his other side, which allows him to use fire attacks. Both forms of Split, Fire and Water, can use their domains when they have 100% ULT.

Split's store price has not changed.

New Character: Garlic

Does Nothing

Garlic is the toughest character in Battlemon, striking fear into his opponents hearts whenever they are within his vicinity, being able to electrocute opponents until they turn into ash. The only time garlic doesn't do this is when his opponents are bowing in front of him, begging for mercy from this absolute unit. When Garlic isn't striking down his opposition, they're running in fear, crawling away from him, hoping that their lives may be spared. Garlic's might may only be wielded by the most powerful players, who are daring enough to attempt to even select him on the character select screen. Garlic is too powerful to be restricted by the ULT bar, and therefore, does not have an ULT.

Garlic is unlockable for 2500 Gold from the shop up until January 30th, where he may become offsale.

New Character: Ruinja

Master of the Shadows

A new character, Ruinja, has joined the battle. A phantasm who has taken the form of a ninja, and attacks using shadow attacks, as well as creating clones of himself. He is the first character to be able to dodge attacks in his first phase, allowing him to evade any attack up to 15 times. Afterwards, he would enter his second phase, where he unlocks a second mode.

Ruinja is unlockable for 1500 Gold from the shop.

New Character: Goldlead

Electric Soldier

A long dormant robot brought back to life, equipped with his claymore. He uses stored electrical energy to attack his opponents, as well as shower the battlefield in electrical energy. However, he is bound by his steel armor.

Goldlead is only accessible with the Early Access Pack DLC:

New Character: Brainiac

Control Freak

A magician who is equipped with proficient coding skills, in addition to magical attacks. This allows Brainiac to attack with elemental, magical attacks, as well as coding-based attacks, (control attacks). Brainiac can create control panels around him, allowing him to manipulate the battlefield, and the fighters within it.
