[previewyoutube="iw34Muhp4w8;full"] As a 4-person indie team, we're incredibly thankful to you all. We've poured our hearts into Legion TD 2 over the last 7 years 10 months of development. For those who have been around since early access, you have been instrumental in making Legion TD 2 what it is today. It's a dream come true going from a Warcraft 3 mod to Kickstarter to early access to full launch. We hope you love the game as much as we do. See you on the ladder!
To celebrate the game's launch, we're doing an AMA on reddit. Ask us about modding, game development, future plans for the game, our favorite pizza, or anything!
The Divine have descended onto the grounds of Nova, casting a blinding golden light. Do not mistake their holiness and beauty for graciousness. They bring justice through conviction and eradication, and without mercy. These ethereal beings believe only servants of the Divine deserve ascension, and they seek to cleanse the world of the unworthy. Are you worthy?
Holy Avenger, Sovereign, and the Divine legion unlock when the game full launches on October 1st. Make sure to play this weekend to try the new units, join in on the launch hype, and enjoy +100% essence gain and card drop rates!
Aegis Holy Avenger gains 0.1 mana every time she is attacked and 2 mana every time she attacks. Each 10% mana increases her attack speed and damage reduction by 4%. At maximum mana, her attacks deal 25% splash damage in a small radius.
Final Judgment Sovereign gains 0.15 mana every time he is attacked and 3 mana every time he attacks. Each 10% mana increases his attack speed and damage reduction by 4%. At maximum mana, his attacks deal 25% splash damage in a large radius.
Gameplay Tips
Holy Avenger and Sovereign are the newest hyper-carries to the game. Among the few Impact / Swift units, they are off-tanks with both solid DPS and durability.
Optimal positioning means having them tank some of the wave (to make use of their health pool and ramp up their mana gain faster), but not too much, so they stay alive, unlock their splash effect, and dish out maximum damage.
Recommended Combos:
Butcher / Head Chef / Vampire Lifesteal synergizes with their damage reduction, attack speed, and area of effect damage.
APS / MPS / Dark Mage / Pulverizer Attack speed increases their DPS and amplifies the rate of their on-hit mana gain.
Sacred Steed / Pegasus / Starcaller / Magician Mana gain makes them stack up and unlock their splash effect faster.
Desert Pilgrim / Lost Chieftain / Titan / Guardian Angel Healing and bonus health synergize with their damage reduction and allow them to soak more damage for faster mana gain.
Whitemane / Ocean Templar / Hero Percent effects are strong on high cost units like Sovereign.
