Patch 0.16.8 - Crafting & Professions
Greetings heroes of the realm! We’re quite excited with today’s major content update, which brings crafting along with several other features that will add new strategic layers to the game. To begin with, from now on you can modify your gear and weapons, and add special powers that will be described in (very cool) prefixes and suffixes. For example: a Hallowed Longbow of the Titan would give your arrows the highest bonus damage possible, as well as increasing the power of your heals. And of course it sounds epic as hell which is always a bonus!
Jokes aside, this offers an extra layer of customization: with this option every character will be even more unique, with special gear that adapts to their skills and abilities, reflecting better your playstyle. This update also implements potion crafting at the consumable shops. We’re also adding two new profession nodes, Gathering and Fishing, each with their own mini-games; with these two professions you will get the materials you need for crafting your gear and potions.
While these are the main features of this update, there’s much more to it – lots of quality-of-life additions and balance fixes, not to mention some good bug-squashing. Check out the full patch notes below!

Exploding Barrels, Crates and Enemy Mods!
Greetings, heroes of the Realm! We’re releasing a patch today that brings several important new features to the game – features that we believe will have a profound impact on your tactical battles. This patch implements destructible barrels and movable crates, which will be spawned randomly throughout battle maps, making the positioning of your heroes (and enemy troops) more important than ever.
Up until now, battle maps were essentially open fields; from this patch on you’ll have to think carefully about how you position your heroes and where you send them, because you can find yourself quickly isolated from your allies if you make a mistake… but on the other hand, you can use these terrain features to your advantage, pinning your enemies down, attacking them from the safety or your cover, or forcing them into obstacles to split their party. We hope you enjoy the new depth that this feature will bring to your battles!
You can destroy these barrels to clear the way – but beware their area effects! Ice barrels slow everyone down around them when they explode. Fire barrels go in huge blasts, causing raw damage. Smoke barrels, on the other hand, increase dodge chance on the ground for 3 turns. You can use these explosions to your advantage – but so can your enemy! And crates can be moved around the battlefield, giving you the ability to redefine your environment to improve your position.
That’s not all, of course – this patch also implements a new feature we’ve called Enemy Modifications. Essentially, enemies can now have random modifiers that alter them in various ways, from regeneration to increased movement speed and even explosion on death. This makes each enemy unique, and thus, each battle different from the rest.
While these are the two main new features, this patch also brings a lot of balancing changes, tweaks to the skills system, and quality-of-life additions, as well as squashing a good number of bugs. Check out the full patch notes below, and let us know what you think about the new stuff in the comments!
