Archer’s 2nd Tier Profession Out Now as v1.3.386

Archer’s new Elemental Master profession is officially rolling out to all platforms! This profession is packed with a bunch of new changes compared to the previous post. Elemental Master brings stacks of status effects onto foes with tons of explosive potential and includes 5 new skills as well as a new Wet status effect to spread status effects to a nearby enemy. This update also includes monthly skins and a new End Adventure Reward that will further boost your Coins and Diamonds supply based on steps! We shall go over a lot of changes that were made through Open Beta as well as new Skill info panel to help explain some skills.

Spinning Tornado

Deal 100% damage in 8 directions allowing you to attack multiple enemies at once. Great for when you are surrounded by hordes of enemies and can also inflicts status effects much like normal attacks.

Elemental Quiver + New Changes

Equip physical, Lightning, Poison, or Ice arrows for a chance to inflict status effects which will give you an advantage early on and help build for Elemental Reaction. I’ve also added the skill info below to the skill screen in-game.

Auto-Cycle for 100% Chance to Inflict

Elemental Quivers will now be 100% chance to inflict when auto-cycle is enabled which means every time you attack, the arrow type will switch to a random one. If you switch auto-cycle off, you can decide which arrow to use, but the chance to inflict status effect is reduced down to 50%.

Elemental Reaction

Trigger unique effects onto enemies by having certain status effects active. These includes mixing Burn, Poison, Paralysis, Wet, and Slow to deal some catastrophic damage. Reaction is triggered at the end of the player’s turn.

Elemental Reaction Chart

Elemental Reactions cause additional effects when status effects trigger such as poison damage from status, turn loss from paralysis, burn damage from status, and slowness every turn to a target with existing elemental status ailment.

Chain Lightning deals 100% damage in area of target and triggers effect again. Chance of happening from start is 100% chance, then 50%, then 25%.

Cataclysm

For every negative stat on the enemy, you will deal more damage to them. Stack them up and reach your max damage potential!

Tidal Barrage

This skill deals a low amount of damage, but inflicts Wet status which spread all status effects you inflict onto that enemy to the nearest enemy within a 7 tile radius. Wet does not get consumed when you spread status effects allowing you to stack multiple to others with a single Tidal Barrage.

February Monthly Skins

Congratulations to Zero, MrValient and Joker for submitting February monthly skins! These will be available in this new update.

End Adventure Reward

I’ve added a new way to help get your adventures to feel more rewarding. With every step, you will slowly building up an adventure bonus which rewards you with Coins and Diamonds after completing your adventure. This feature works for Hardcore as well and the final bonus is an optional rewarded ad to boost your base reward and will choose the multiplier that it is currently on. Below is the current formula for adventure bonus, but keep in mind that fast traveling does not count towards the bonus.

More Balance Changes

Fire Barrage has been removed from Marksman, but now reduces time for every enemy you deal damage to with that skill allowing you to use it more frequently. Ethereal Shot got a nerf on damage, but the range and the damage calculation were flat so it has been improved. Necromancer has gotten a nerf for Beyond the Grave and Puppet Minion as they were infinite juggernauts to begin with. Haste now saves to your current adventure. A lot more changes are likely to come during Open Beta and I look forward to see what kind of madness you will bring with this new profession!
