Dev Progress Update

Week 7

This week, we carried out extensive UI optimization, added new acquisition methods for Anti-Cavalry Captain, Polar Scholar, and Guitar Cowboy, introduced new dungeons, and adjusted the rewards of some existing dungeons.

New Features

New Characters Added

Anti-Cavalry Captain

Human Spearman. A versatile hybrid warrior who enhances basic attack damage with the Zeal Against the Enemy buff.

He can specialize in three development paths

enhanced basic attacks, empowered skills, or fortified defenses. He ultimately learns a single-target magic damage ability, making him a flexible hero capable of filling any vacant role within the team.Steam post image

Polar Scholar

Human Mage. A support sorcerer who specializes in frost magic.

It can choose between two development paths

pure temperature reduction, or a balanced build of cooling and damage output. In the late game, it can master two out of six ultimate skills. When its ultimate abilities are boosted by equipment, its combat strength will undergo a qualitative leap, making it the core powerhouse of all frost-based builds at this stage.Steam post image

Guitar Cowboy

Human Bard. A fiery musician whose multiple abilities raise the temperature of both enemies and himself.

He can choose from three skill trees

boosting personal damage and heating power, stabilizing his own temperature, or providing team-wide shields. He also possesses an ultimate ability that can copy effects, allowing endless tactical possibilities through unique skill combinations.
