With this update, we want to shift the testing focus to the Coliseum.

With this update, you will find:

The Coliseum:

In the Coliseum, Incarnates fight to prove themselves worthy.

This is a 4 Player Game Mode where you will be facing a series of 3 randomized Bosses.

You will need to assemble a team including 1 Protector, 1 Healer, and 2 Strikers to prevail.

To access the Coliseum, a new temporary “Sessions” Test Menu has been made available. From there, you can create a Coliseum test server for 4 players.

Note that the test servers will only start once 4 players have joined.

Frost Golem

For this first testing session, your only adversary will be the Frost Golem.

As we move forward, in the next update, we will add new Bosses and swap which enemies are available for testing in the Coliseum.

The Frost Golem is your run-of-the-mill starting Boss. It is meant to be simple to understand while offering a substantial challenge.

Frost Golem Abilities:

  • Weakening Ritual

    Creates an 3 meter zone for 3 seconds at the tank's location. When the zone expires, it deals 2500 damage to the player in it and applies Weakness.

    If there are no players located in this zone, it deals 3000 damage to all players.

    Weakness: Increase damage taken by 50% for 30 Seconds.

  • Cursed Water

    Launch a projectile that applies Cursed Waters.

    Cursed Waters: Last for 6 seconds; when it expires, it creates an 8 mete r area at the location for 3 seconds.

    When that zone expires, it creates an 8 meter area that deals 240 000 damage over 120 seconds.

  • Wave

    Create an 10 meter wide Wave that sweeps the Arena, dealing 5000 damage to players it impacts.

  • Toxic Corals

    Creates an 8 meter area that lasts for 3 seconds. When it expires, it creates an 8 meter area that deals 240 000 damage over 120 seconds.

  • Snowstorm

    An arena wide area that deals 100 damage every 3 seconds.

    If there are no allies within 4 meters of you, you take additional 100 damage.

To emerge victorious against the Frost Golem, your team’s placement will be key.

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • Players will no longer be obligated to link their Steam account to an Epic account.

  • Steam VR should no longer launch when trying to play the game.

  • Advanced Tutorial enemy damage lowered to appropriate levels.

Providing Feedback:

If after slaying the Frost Golem you have time to provide some feedback, here are a few questions that we would be grateful if you could answer:

  • What did you think about the Coliseum environment?

  • How did you feel your role impacted the fight (Protector, Striker, or Healer)?

  • Were there some Enemy Abilities that were hard to understand or read?

  • How fast did you kill the Boss, and how did you feel about the length of the fights?

As usual, the Steam Forums are the place for you to submit feedback, but you are also welcome to share your thoughts with us on our Discord: https://discord.gg/2uNp4th

Thank you, and see you in the Multiverse!
