Skara has spent a busy and eventful year on Early Access. Thanks to your feedback, we’ve been able to improve the game dramatically. This build introduces many new levels of awesomeness, but the one we are MOST excited about are the way skills work. Within this are new range weapon skills. Now all the characters are specially equipped to fight from a distance.
Try each of them out and let us know what you think!
BUILD 0.5.5 CHANGELOG
Character balancing: Khärn skills were nerfed, since the community generally claimed they were too powerful. Celea skills and damage have been reduced as well, and Shinse has been buffed. Try them out and let us know if this improves the fairness of the fights.
New skills: All character receive brand new Range Special Skills - The Celea maintain the old Disc of Sun, while the Shinse get a new Poison Kunais (a cone attack with poison buff) and the Khärn throw a giant rock! Say goodbye to the previous projectile system (that weird throwing knives- or rocks) and activate your new range skills pressing F on your keyboard or A on your controller.
New frag display: now the UI shows relevant information when you die, including who killed you and their equipped skills, your record at that particular time, and much more...
New Celea skill: We are proud to Introduce Celem’s Blades, a skill that will increase the range of the spear attack with a nice touch of fire.
Camera effects: for Khärn, Shinse and Celea to feel more a part of the battle from the third-person perspective, we’ve adjusted and enhanced the camera.
Rage vortex VFX: An ability which was available for the last two versions was lacking some VFX and visual feedback, so we decided to give it a twist and implement new visual effects.
New card system for the special skills. This will change how players get their skills, let us know what you think.
New slot and HUD cooldown for the range special skills: Now you can activate three skills during your battle! Enjoy the mayhem, and good luck staying alive...
Medals: unlock new achievements every match in each of the SKARA arenas. We start with our old Coliseum. (Check out what happens if you are the player who inflicts the most damage on Groth!)
A new Khärn skin: Currently only seen for the bots, this feature will soon be available for Khärn characters!
New character and account-separated progression bars: Track your progress in SKARA with these new features. Let us know what you think about them.
