Happy Friday!
Content Pack #4 is here.
Of course the thing everyone's been waiting on is the magical Atomic Clock which cause a dramatic transformation in Dracoyle, Darwhol and Gorgem!
Where can you get your hands on your very own Atomic Clock? Well, in a cave just north of Empathy Kingdom, you can find one here:
You'll also be able to explore a fun, Atomic Clock-oriented surprise quest somewhere in Empathy Kingdom. It features a monster many of you have had your eye on for quite some time!
After the quest, the Atomic Clock will begin appearing in the wild in deep-wilderness Tamer Packs just like Super Gro did last week.
But that's not all, we've got two more interesting new mechanics!
Synergy Attack Upgrades
So, a few months ago a couple of people came to me asking for special attacks be added that could be unlocked via the breeding system, and to add a little more strategy to the synergy system, so there's one unified solution that I think you're really gonna enjoy.
There's a new attack, Dragon Tackle that will upgrade to Dragon Tackle 2 in the presence of synergy. This move is your first introduction to the mechanic so it's pretty clearly named to make the upgrade easily understood. Additionally, the move Swipe can now upgrade if you have built up synergy into the move Full Slash.
Additionally, if you breed two monsters that know Dragon Tackle the offspring will be born knowing Dragon Tackle 2, so this provides a new layer to battle and breeding alike. Let me know your thougths on these mechanics. There are plenty of great possibilities in breeding especially in move combination, we could have moves that combine the effects of two other moves, or take influence from the presence of another.
I'll be looking at all the attacks in the game and the monster movesets over the next couple of months to create more balance and fairness in the battle system and just make things more fun overall.
One last synergy-related note, at long last the game will pop-up prompt you to let you know the benefits if you attack at each synergy level, so no need to memorize what buffs/debuffs are associated with each level of the synergy gauge.
Oh, Myedin and Madis are now available in the wild, and there's a new move, Swallow Power that lets you absorb attack power to gain synergy. Do you think you can find them all? ;)
