Primal Fray changes
In today's devlog, let's discuss the titular heroes of the game: the Primals!
Primals are the inhabitants of the Rift. Some will fight for you, while others will fight against you. Either way, you'll meet them in battle.
You can find new Primals for your team on special 'Recruitment' islands during runs. You can also exchange money for them at Esurius the Talking Panda's shop.
There are 3 Primal Tiers, which you can encounter (and befriend) in phase 1, 2 and 3 of a run, respectively.
Tier I Primals let you create simple strategies, like the Fungler below, who enables you to spawn a bush behind enemy lines and use it to deal damage...
...or Rheno, who lets you push enemies off the map:
Tier II Primals are twice as powerful as Tier I and can pose a real challenge. However, they also open up new attack possibilities. Cornus, below, uses a powerful AoE attack...
Whereas Dex can rain fire on enemies, causing massive damage, even greater than that of Mechataur, the first boss.
As for the Tier III Primals... let's keep that a secret for now. ;)
As you progress through the game, you'll learn the abilities of each Primal. New synergistic strategies will come naturally to you. How about freezing water, luring enemies onto the ice and then melting it beneath them? Hmm...
Plus, it's not like Primals are just living chess pieces. They have their own personalities. Upon recruiting them, they'll spark a conversation with you.
Discover new Primals and test them in battle! Be careful, though – your strategies can be used against you by hostile Primals.
That's it for today's devlog. Let me know what you think below. Thank you for reading and see you in a couple of weeks!
Cheers!
