Hi everyone,

We have prepared a content update that introduces a new weapon skill tree for elemental staves. It features a variety of combo attacks, powerful AoE spells, and defensive buffs. The staff skill tree can be unlocked at any point in the game by defeating enemies using staves.

Previously, staves were the only weapon type without a dedicated skill tree, so this update is aimed at expanding gameplay options for magic users and bringing them in line with other weapon types.

The skill tree includes the following abilities:

  1. Echoing Strike – Spells emit a resonant echo from the target, striking nearby enemies.

  2. Phase Step – Increases movement speed after casting a spell.

  3. Temporal Burst – Increases casting speed after using a staff attack.

  4. Spellbind – Slows the target’s movement speed.

  5. Essence Siphon – Steals Focus from the target when using a staff attack.

  6. Arcane Ward – Casting spells also creates a barrier absorbing damage.

  7. Elemental Scatter – Unleashes the spell bound to the staff multiple times in random directions around the caster.

  8. Hexstorm – Strikes all nearby enemies with beams of pure energy.

  9. Wild Surge – Creates a powerful energy explosion around the caster.

  10. Astral Shift – Grants immunity to physical attacks after using Sidestep.

  11. Ethereal Form – Provides damage reduction after using Evade.

  12. Chronostasis – Surrounds the caster with an indestructible barrier, granting immunity to all damage and rapidly restoring health.

This update also includes the following bug fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where movement speed reduction effects were not applied correctly in some cases.

  • Fixed an issue where some weapon skill abilities would not activate when used from a quickslot while aiming.

  • Fixed an issue where ability levels could be incorrect when triggered from a quickslot.

  • Fixed an issue where assigning a spell to a quickslot that already contained an ability could fail.

  • Fixed an issue where visual effects from building parts could appear in placement previews.

We are continuing work on additional content updates, as well as a rework of the multiplayer system, which will be available soon.

Thank you for your support! We truly appreciate it.
