Hi everyone

It's finally here: our first significant update for Successor!

This update introduces an all-new campaign, a powerful new hero, fresh side quests, and challenges packed with fantastic loot.

There's a lot of new content to explore, and we hope this conquest will be both thrilling and rewarding.

New Campaign: Plague of Bones

Undead legions rise as the ancient lich Volak returns from the Abyss. Battle through cursed graveyards, blighted mountains, and bone-strewn battlefields as you face the Grimlegion with their twisted necromancers, relentless bone throwers, and horrors bound by dark magic.

New Hero: The Inquisitor

A devout enforcer of the Owl of Athena, the Inquisitor serves the High Priest with unshakable faith. Clad in heavy armor and wielding a massive greatsword, she excels in cleansing the unholy. Though less effective against ranged foes, her wrath is unmatched against the undead.

Best paired with Gwenn and against factions like the Grimlegion, Dregg, and Darkmoon.

Blinding Litany

Focuses divine power on a single enemy, blinding them to reduce their attack power and weakening their resistance to further punishment.

Zealot Attack

Leaps across the battlefield to strike with holy force, damaging nearby enemies on impact and sending them reeling with a brief stun.

Trait: Smite Evil

Unholy enemies near the Inquisitor suffer reduced armor. Slaying them restores health to all allied heroes.

New Side Quest

Jacky the Pyro

Farms are burning, and Jacky’s goons are to blame.

Track down the Blackrock Madman before the flames consume everything.

Bloodmoon Rituals

Darkmoon cultists are abducting villagers and warping their minds.

Uncover their ritual sites and stop the sacrifices before it’s too late.

The Inquisitor

On a holy crusade, she hunts the roots of corruption buried deep in the realm.

Some of the new items unlocked through completing quests and challenges are Greatsword, Dagger & Bow of Fire. Spear, dagger, and bow of Fell. The Bow of Stone Rain

New Kicker: Rigor Mortis

Corruption seeps from every crack in the earth, reanimating the long-dead and dragging forgotten bones back to war.

Here are a few bug fixes and other improvements.

Improved Waterfall scenario
Banner for Neutral Factions
Fixed wrong modifiers on Shield Maiden dilemmas
Added sacrifice ability to Darkmoon Lord
Reduced hp wild tusk beast-master
