Hello, Stalkers.
This is the Dungeon Stalkers development team.
It has been nearly a month since Season 1 began. For this Season 1 - 2nd Update, the Dungeon Stalkers development team has been thinking deeply about whether we could release content planned for Season 1 earlier to our Stalkers.
Therefore, we decided to prioritize the release of new elements that Stalkers have high expectations for and are currently progressing well in development, to provide more enjoyment for everyone.
Please check the details below to see what new elements have been added in the Season 1 - 2nd Update.
1. New Stalker - Black Maria
The High Inquisitor standing on the boundary of light and darkness, '{Endless Night}, {Black Maria}' joins the battlefield. {Black Maria} is a powerful melee fighter who wields a two-handed {Greatsword}. She is a Stalker characterized by battle endurance and powerful charged attacks, optimized for charging in to execute enemies with a devastating blow.
Q Skill - {Valiant Charge}
Advances while blocking the front with the broad side of the greatsword. If she collides with an enemy while advancing, she deals 130% {Physical Damage} and stops. Can destroy doors.
E Skill - {Ascension Strike}
Strikes upward with the greatsword, knocking enemies into the air for 1.5 seconds and dealing 110% {Physical Damage}.
C Skill - {Barrier of Resolve}
Enters a state where armor durability does not drop below 1 for 10 seconds, even if damage is taken. If armor durability is at 0, instantly recovers 40% of total durability.
Mouse Right Click - {Helm Breaker}
Strikes down with the greatsword, dealing 90% {Physical Damage}. Damage increases based on charge level. At level 1 charge, deals 215%; at level 2 charge, spins and hits twice for 170% and 240% {Physical Damage} respectively.
V Skill - {Mana Stone 'Earthshaker'}
Stabs the greatsword into the ground twice. The first stab pulls enemies within 6 meters towards the greatsword, and the second stab deals 130% {Physical Damage}.
To achieve the salvation she envisions, she has donned her heavy armor and grasped her massive greatsword once again, ready to dive into this calamitous dungeon herself. Now, all that remains is for her greatsword to deliver due judgment upon her enemies.
2. New Equipment Grade - Unique Equipment
Among the minions of the wicked witch guarding the dungeon, there are powerful beings who boast exceptional strength. True to their name, these monsters called '{Raid Portal}' bosses each wield powerful weapons befitting their strength. Now, defeat these powerful entities and claim their unique weapons.
The new 'Unique' equipment grade items are dropped by each Raid Boss with a low probability.
Unique grade equipment is a higher tier than existing {Legendary} grade equipment. Each possesses unique abilities and can be enchanted with up to 4 magic options.
All Unique grade equipment cannot be obtained through crafting; they can only be obtained by defeating Raid Bosses in {Competitive} Mode.
We have been developing the PVE aspects with great care alongside the PVP of the Dungeon Crawler genre. In particular, 'Raid Bosses', which can be considered the flower of PVE, were risky hard content that could lead to a party wipe if mishandled. We have constantly pondered how to motivate Stalkers to actively participate in boss raids with returns that justify such risks. As a result, we concluded that we needed something substantial to make players want to hunt these powerful Raid Bosses, adding new elements to the raid. Thus, we returned to the basics and focused on the true meaning of 'Treasure', the crystallization of 'Farming' in extraction games. We believe that acquiring rare equipment through boss raids will make your loadout more powerful, allowing you to overwhelm other players while simultaneously creating a new dynamic where you become a target for others. This will primarily provide sufficient satisfaction and motivation to PVE players through boss raids, while also offering PVP players gameplay where they can actively confront opponents to steal or protect said equipment.
