Hey everyone! Update 8 is live! Yes, we’re simply calling it Update 8 now (mindblowing, right?). All those numbers and dots were too confusing for some of the devs. The next updates will be called Update 9, 10, 11, and so on. Nice and simple.
Let’s go over some of the highlights! Or you can just scroll down for the patch notes of course.
🐥Another Wizard🐥
The Spell Brigade welcomes the eleventh Wizard to their ranks! Her name is Maggie, and she uses her bird-like features to spot pickups from far away. She also has her own Spell called Aurora Wings, which casts mystic birds across the battlefield that pick off targets one by one.
🎖️Wizard Traits & Ranks🎖️
As requested by many, we have reworked and rebalanced each Wizard’s stats and effects. You’ll find that every Wizard has some new attributes, making them more unique and fit a specific role within a team. Reginald is lucky, Aldric is a healer (occasionally), Kavin is… very Kavin. I won’t get into specifics here but you can find the specific traits in the Patch Notes. And in the game, obviously.
☝️Single Spell Mode☝️
A third Covenant! Activate Solitary Focus to only play with your Starter Spell and crank it up to the max, turning it into the most legendary Spell ever. Who needs more Spells anyway?
