Terrain Effects

Steam post image

Terrain Effects are effects positioned on a tile that trigger when a character steps on them. Beneficial in some situations, and harmful in others, they can quickly turn the tide of battle if used correctly.

In our first wave of available terrain effects (more to come), we have two effects that you’ll encounter in your battles. Half Cover is defensive, mitigating incoming ranged attacks by halving their damage. Corrosion is a harmful effect that causes Poison – at the start of the character’s turn, they’ll take 5 damage.

We feel that terrain effects are an interesting addition to grid layouts. We can already see new strategies developing where positioning becomes an even more important factor in every battle. We can’t wait to see you try them out!
