Dear Travelers of Shan Hai,
Thank you for all of your valuable feedback and suggestions! Your support has helped bring an exciting new level of gameplay to Shan Hai: Mythic Origins, making the world of Shan Hai even more immersive and spectacular. Version 1.6 is now live, introducing the Five Element Spirit Orbs and an entirely new combat experience!
New Five Element Abilities
By socketing different Five Element Spirit Orbs into your weapon, you can gain a variety of elemental abilities. Higher-tier Spirit Orbs include all of the abilities of their lower-tier versions.
Socketing a Metal Spirit Orb Fragment into your main weapon converts your skills into Metal-element skills. Socketing a Metal Spirit Orb Core unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Armor Break, which reduces an enemy's melee and ranged defense. Socketing a Complete Metal Spirit Orb unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Execute, giving your attacks a chance to instantly kill enemies. (Ineffective against Fire-element enemies.)
Socketing a Wood Spirit Orb Fragment into your main weapon converts your skills into Wood-element skills. Socketing a Wood Spirit Orb Core unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Life Drain, restoring HP whenever you hit an enemy. Socketing a Complete Wood Spirit Orb unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Thorn Bind, giving your attacks a chance to root enemies in place while dealing damage over time. (Ineffective against Metal-element enemies.)
Socketing a Water Spirit Orb Fragment into your main weapon converts your skills into Water-element skills. Socketing a Water Spirit Orb Core unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Tide, reducing enemy movement speed. Socketing a Complete Water Spirit Orb unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Combo Cast, giving your skills a chance to be cast consecutively. (Ineffective against Earth-element enemies.)
Socketing a Fire Spirit Orb Fragment into your main weapon converts your skills into Fire-element skills. Socketing a Fire Spirit Orb Core unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Burn, dealing damage over time to enemies. Socketing a Complete Fire Spirit Orb unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Ignition. Burning enemies have a chance to trigger a small explosion when they die, damaging nearby enemies. (Ineffective against Water-element enemies.)
Socketing an Earth Spirit Orb Fragment into your main weapon converts your skills into Earth-element skills. Socketing an Earth Spirit Orb Core unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Stone Armor. Hitting enemies builds up Stone Armor, which absorbs incoming damage before your HP is affected. Socketing a Complete Earth Spirit Orb unlocks the Spirit Orb Skill: Shockwave, reflecting damage to nearby enemies whenever Stone Armor is consumed. (Ineffective against Wood-element enemies.)
