Hey Heroes,
Welcome to the 5th Heroes’ Hall!
This week's post will introduce some of the equipment that you’ll be getting to grips with in your Tasos exploring, dungeon raiding adventures.
From the humble shovel and high flying grappling hook, to the mystical magic wand and its spells, we’ve got the lowdown on gear for all types of heroes.
Lets take a look!
Hero’s Equipment Preview
Weapons
The Bow and the Boomerang
Perfect for those who like to keep their enemies at range, these weapons both have a unique role in battle. The boomerang can be tossed by the player for a small mana cost, stunning enemies that it contacts. As a bonus the boomerang can also pick up and return items that it collides with, for when a juicy piece of loot is just out of reach!
The bow is more of a staple ranged damage option, drawing from the player’s arrow stockpile instead of their mana pool. Holding down the fire button will allow for increased accuracy, with the Ranger class being able to travel faster whilst holding a shot and aiming them more quickly.
The Magic Wand
The wand allows players to slot different magic runes they find into it, opening up a variety of spells and effects at the cost of mana.
We’ll do a quick overview of the spells now, but you can expect an in-depth look at them in a future Heroes’ Hall.
- Fire Rune: Your first rune – Great for lightning enemies on fire, as well as flammable objects like torches.
- Ice Rune: Get your enemies to chill out with this icy projectile! Build freeze stacks to trap enemies in a block of ice.
- Magic Missile: If your looking for burst damage over status elements, this multi-hit spell is right up your street.
- Moon: Turn day to night whenever you choose.
- Sun: Turn night to day whenever you choose.
- Storm: Summon a storm, should the need arise.
Utility Items
Alongside offensive equipment, you’ll be able to make use of a wide range of useful utility items. These include watering cans and seed bags for farming, a multi-purpose potion bottle and other useful pieces we’ll talk about in the future!
Today though we’re going to look at the handy shovel, the grapping hook and the fishing rod!
The Shovel
Unsurprisingly, the shovel allows players to dig! Whether you’re tilling the ground to plant seeds in your farm, flipping Spikulo enemies on their backs or digging up treasure, keeping a trusty shovel nearby is never a bad idea.
The Grappling Hook
No it’s not a bird, nor a plane, it’s a hero moving at high velocity thanks to their grappling hook! This item extends a lengthy chain that can attach to certain statues, propelling you towards them and across perilous gaps.
The hook can also be used to pull away enemy shields in an instant and even damage undefended foes from a distance.
The Fishing Rod
This item probably doesn’t need an introduction but knowing what you can land with it will be news to your heroic ears!
Fish across the land and sell your extra fish at the dock house to fill your purse. But there are those that speak of legendary fish that lurk below the surface. Those that catch them will be able to learn the fabled fish scale thread…
There’s more where they came from
We hope you enjoyed this first look at some of the equipment and tools that you’ll be using when we launch next year.
We’ll be going into more detail about all of the above, as well as a whole host of other equipment and how they can be upgraded in the future, so watch this space!
