Formation System

Steam post image

  • A brand new game mechanic—— **Battle Formation**.

  • Formations are based on a 3x3 grid, with key positions called **Formation Eyes**.

  • Formation Eyes grant elemental energy, providing extra abilities to characters standing on them.

  • Non-Eye positions are disabled; thus, the number of characters in battle is limited when the formation is activated.

  • Formations are selected at game start and persist throughout; changing requires a new game.

  • Different formations require specific elemental Star Crystals for activation, so sufficient crystals must be prepared.

  • Currently, two formations are available; more novel formations will be added in future updates.

Global Resource: Star Crystals

  • Overview: Star Crystals are a global resource, shared across multiple games.

  • Types and Attributes: Five colors, each representing an elemental attribute: Orange-Fire, Blue-Frost, White-Lightning, Purple-Shadow, Yellow-Light.

  • Acquisition: Obtainable by defeating monsters; amounts and chances vary.

  • Uses: Activate formations or exchange for Gold at merchants.

  • StorageCrystals are global; amounts can carry over to new games.

  • Notes: Use wisely; they are vital resources.

Death Penalty

  • Characters do not auto-revive and must be manually revived by players.

  • Revival consumes Gold, increasing with each use.

  • If Gold is insufficient, Star Crystals can be exchanged for revival.

  • Star Crystals are essential for formations; use them carefully.

Caravan Merchant

  • The first NPC debuts—— Caravan Merchant.

  • Drag cards to exchange for Gold, including Item and Character Cards.

  • Yes, including Character Cards, as other teams may need them.

  • The merchant also accepts Star Crystals; prices are fair given his monopoly.

New Item: Elemental Orbs

Four elemental orbs convert normal damage into elemental damage.

New Item: Sanctuary Staff

Adds a magic shield and increases target's armor and resistance.

New Item: Radiant Gloves

Purifies negative effects while granting a magic shield.
