Hey Jotunnslayers!
Welcome to Dev Blog #9 for Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel!
We've been hard at work, inspired by your ideas and feedback, to rework and enhance our characters and classes—giving them more power, new abilities, and plenty of love!
In the upcoming dev blogs, we’ll introduce you to each class, one by one, and give you a sneak peek at what awaits in Early Access.
Today, we’re kicking things off with an inside look at the fiery and fearless FLAME SISTER!
Let's dive in!
FLAME SISTER
Weapons: Daggers
Although empowered by fiery spirits and fanatical in their devotion to Loki’s trickery and ingenuity, the Followers of the Flame have been shunned as outcasts and blasphemers for ages. In the true honor of her ever-defiant patron and empowered by the diligent training of the sisterhood, the Flame Sister seeks redemption for her deeds and vows to be unshackled from the bounds of fate and superstition.
Flame Sister is a highly mobile melee class specializing in swift, lethal strikes and fiery chaos. With a deadly combination of daggers and fire, she excels in offense but lacks defensive capabilities making her a high-risk high-reward class choice.
Skills
As our rogue archetype, Flame Sister brings exactly what you'd expect: agility and finesse, though at the cost of durability. She lacks the straightforward survivability of previous classes but compensates with Evasion passives and an extra Dash charge right from the get go.
A devoted wielder of the primordial flame, her playstyle revolves around fiery spectacles and a touch of assassin-like lethality. Her attack pattern—a rapid flurry of stabs with a chance to trigger a fiery burst that inflicts burn—and her innate ability, a randomly timed explosion around her, showcase her blazing potential perfectly.
Attack Pattern
Blazing Soul Innate
Dance of Daggers
Shrapnel Pot
Flaming Ray
Sisterhood Incarnate
Fire Dart
Subclasses
When it comes to subclasses, Flame Sister stays true to her infernal theatrics and lethal instincts. You can dedicate yourself to the Gods with burning fervor as an Ash Disciple, focusing on enhanced God Skill Damage and an amped-up Blazing Soul. Alternatively, embrace the seductive allure of fire as a Flame Dancer, turning your attacks into a fully infernal spectacle and a formidable fire hazard. Lastly, you can become a disciplined hitwoman as a Smoke Assassin, transforming Blazing Spirit into a smoke bomb that boosts evasion, with a chance to instantly eliminate non-boss enemies.
