The second update since Savara's initial release, the "Risk Factor" update includes a few new additions that will reward our boldest players for taking risks!
TL;DR: This update introduces a devastating new weapon and a powerful category of blessings that encourages high-risk play.
Focus All Your Strength With a New Weapon: The Hammer
Strike harder… and harder… and EVEN HARDER! If stringing multiple attacks together isn't really your cup of tea, Iop has now brought you the perfect solution for unleashing all of your power in a single devastating blow: the Hammer.
Of course, that kind of damage comes at a cost – specifically, at a cost to your agility and attack speed. But rest assured: as you'll see from the summary below, the risk is probably worth the reward!
Your target, and everything around it, will definitely remember the impact you make with this weapon.
Equipping and Using the Hammer
Just like the other weapons, you can equip the hammer by visiting the Blacksmith and equipping the weapon in one of the two available slots. And just like the others, this new weapon also has different variants related to the various monster families.
Keen-eyed readers may have noticed the exclusive debut of the Hammer for owners of the Savara Collector's Edition. Pretty cool, right?
A Unique Category of Blessings: Contracts
In the course of your adventures in Iop's palace, you can now find a new category of blessings with truly unique effects: Contracts.
These Contracts grant benefits in two different ways:
By synergizing with one of the three blessings you've already received during your run.
By providing an independent bonus, like a modifier for the remainder of the run.
But beware: Each contract also includes a constraint that will be imposed on you for the rest of your run. Each choice is important, and will be both a help and a burden!
