Challenging evolutions

In our most recent update one of the newest additions to Deflector are brand new evolutions. For those of you that need a refresher - these are upgrades unique to each bioshell and acquired by defeating Great Viruses, the mid-bosses of Deflector's biomes.

Today we're taking a closer look at the brand new evolutions! There's one for each bioshell and each has to be unlocked through a challenge before you can acquire it. Let's dive in!

Bioshell

Eradicator Evolution name: Boomerang Orbit Evolution function: Every consecutive deflection of the boomerang generates a boomerang that will orbit around you. They are lost when retrieving the boomerang.

Required challenge

As Eradicator, kill 10 enemies with your boomerang before retrieving it. This evolution is a real treat for the dedicated boomerang-bouncer which is reflected both in its challenge and in its function! Get those kills without ever catching your boomerang!

Bioshell

Slasher Evolution name: Combo Slash Evolution function: Defeating an enemy with Radial Slash will release a Radial Slash at the enemy's position.

Required challenge

As Slasher, complete 3 survival rooms without dashing nor receiving damage in a single game. Radial Slash kills will now make enemies explode into an additional Radial Slash! Can you handle the challenge to unlock this powerful evolution?

Bioshell

Gunslinger Evolution name: Wall Burst Evolution function: No longer shoot bullets while holding the wall, but release a burst.

Required challenge

As Gunslinger, kill 100 enemies with bullets deflected with your wall. Project the entirety of your defensive wall at the enemy whenever you fire your weapon with it raised! Of course weaponizing your defenses in this way will require you to first prove you can do it by deflecting!

Bioshell

Spark Evolution name: Orb Blast Evolution function: Deflected orbs release a wave when hitting an enemy.

Required challenge

As Spark, kill 10 enemies with a single use of the active. Spark's active ability packs a punch. This evolution's unlock condition challenges you to prove it by burning through a crowd of enemies in a single use! And in return you'll unlock the evolution to add more of a punch to your orbs as well.

Bioshell

Lightfist Evolution name: Superfist Evolution function: Releasing deflect at full charge fires a piercing fist.

Required challenge

As Lightfist, kill 6 enemies with a single double punch of the active ability. You might want to group up your enemies before trying that challenge. Your reward? Lightfist's fully charged fist becomes a full high-flying piercing projectile!

Bioshell

Corrupted Evolution name: Multiple Shards Evolution function: Release two additional Crystals Shard lines when attacking.

Required challenge

As Corrupted, absorb 10 bullets with a single absorb. That's one challenge for the specimen with a voracious appetite. Fed on enemy projectiles the Corrupted will be able to evolve to release three rows of crystalline shards with every attack!

And that sums up all the new evolutions added to Deflector! We hope you enjoy the update. Share your experience in the comments below!
