Hello, this is GM_TempuraUdon. Did you all receive your key for the 3rd Alpha test? If you didn't get one yet, go to our official Discord to get yours!
As announced yesterday, we are going to introduce today the new weapon skills that will appear in the 3rd Alpha Test.
Fiora can use Rapier, Two-hand Sword and Spear. You will notice that the Two-hand Sword is a weapon that Jackie can also use.
Should we take a look at the newly added Rapier and Spear?
Rapier > Quick Cut
You charge towards the targeted enemy and deal damage.
Rapiers can quickly attack the enemy, dealing even more damage if you perform a powerful critical blow. Charge quickly toward the enemy with the weapon skill Quick Cut, gathering stacks of Touché. You can then deal critical damage by using Marche & Rompre just after.
Spear > Shadow Stab
You powerfully strike with the spear in the target direction, dealing damage. It also deals damage to enemies in a certain range. The targets hit by the attack get their movement speed reduced, and all enemies in a certain range get pushed back.
Spear is powerful in middle range, but you need to control your distance well as they are quite weak when fighting close range. The weapon skill Shadow Stab has a push-back effect, in addition to the movement speed reduction effect, so you can maintain distance with your enemy when fighting.
Nadine can use the Bow and the Crossbow. Which weapon skills do they have?
Bow > Rain of Arrows
You fire a bouquet of arrows at the target spot, making it rain arrows. The arrows reach the target after a certain time, dealing damage to the target hit by the rain of arrows in addition to slowing them down. Enemies located at the center of the rain of arrows take more damage.
Bows have rather low attack power, but fast attack speed. The weapon skill Rain of Arrows is hard to master because of the delay it has, but you can deal powerful damage and slow down your enemies if you get it right.
Crossbow > Expulsion Shot
You fire the crossbow in the target direction. The target hit by it takes damage and is pushed back. Enemies takes extra damage if they hit a wall and get stunned.
Crossbows are weapons with powerful attack power. The weapon skill Expulsion Shot pushes back the enemies, so you can keep distance from them when fighting.
The 3rd Alpha test is already around the corner: it starts tomorrow! We are very excited to get to play with you one more time!
Please survive until we meet again in the Alpha Test.
Let there be glory to the pawns who reached the end of despair.
Today I am here to present the skills of our second new character: Fiora!
Touché (passive)
This is Fiora's passive skill. Fiora earns a stack of Touché for every normal attack dealt to an enemy (the blue indicator in the gif). When the number of stacks reach the maximum, the Touché indicator activates for a certain time.
Fente (Q)
Fiora attacks in the designated area and deals damage to the enemies she hits. If the enemies have the Touché indicator, she procs the indicator and deals extra damage.
Attaque composée (W)
Fiora attacks the opponent two times for the next normal attack. For every Touché indicator she procs, the cooldown for Attaque Composée decreases by 2 second.
Attaque composée is a good way to gather stacks of Touché. As it uses normal attacks, you can quickly gather the stacks. If Fiora procs the Touché indicator, the cooldown for this skill is also reduced, so you can use it even more often.
Marche & Rompre (E)
Fiora charges in the designated area, dealing damage to the enemies hit and reducing their movement speed. If the enemies have the Touché indicator, she procs the indicator, reducing their movement speed even more. If she deals damage to an enemy, she can use the skill again within a certain time and move back.
Marche & Rompre allows you to control the distance between you and your enemy. You approach the enemy quickly, reducing his movement speed and dealing damage. Use the skill once more to move back.
Garde (R)
Fiora adopts an elaborate posture and powerfully attacks. When Garde is activated, it uses stamina for every normal attack and deals extra damage. When the stamina reaches a certain amount, the skill is automatically deactivated. It also gets deactivated by clicking once more on the Garde skill.
Fiora's ultimate is a skill that deals extra damage and that you can activate/deactivate. You can deal a lot of damage while it's activated but as it consumes a lot of stamina, you have to keep an eye on your stamina consumption.
I will come back tomorrow to introduce the new weapon skills. Please, 'survive' until then.
Let there be glory to the pawns who reached the end of despair.
I am here to present the skills of one of our new characters: Nadine!
Nadine's skills are related to hunting wild animals. The more you hunt wild animals the more your skills will be efficient and the more Nadine gets stronger. Hunt a lot of wild animals and try to overpower the other players!
Wild (passive)
This is her passive skill. Nadine gets a stack of Wild for every wild animal she slays. Wild animals located inside a certain range also appear on the minimap, so it makes it easier to find them for Nadine.
Bull's Eye (Q)
Nadine gathers her strength for a certain time, reducing her movement speed and gradually increasing her skill range. If she has more than a certain amount of Wild stacks, her maximum attack range increases. If she uses the skill again, she shots an arrow, dealing damage.
When you have a lot of Wild stacks, Nadine's Q skill can be used on a rather long distance. You can surprise enemies by shooting an arrow from where they cannot see!
Squirrel Trap (W)
Nadine throws a Squirrel Trap at the designated location, dealing damage to any enemies it hits and arming itself after it lands. You can throw another trap within a certain time. If the distance between the traps is less than a certain distance they get connected. Enemies that get caught in the connected traps have their movement speed reduced, and Nadine can see them for a certain time. The connected traps disappear after a certain time.
Nadine's Squirrel Trap skill is good when in a pursuit as a way to escape. But as the traps disappear after some time, you have to calculate well the distance between you and your enemies.
Monkey Wire (E)
Nadine throws a wire at the designated location. The installed wire stays for a certain time. While it's installed, her attack speed increases. If you use it once more, the wire returns to its anchor point.
You can use Nadine's Monkey Wire skill to go through walls. When you attack enemies or wild animals, try to set a Monkey Wire before. Not only your attack speed increase, but you can also use it to escape.
Wolf Assault (R)
For some time, a wolf gets summoned every few normal attacks. The wolf attacks the enemy and deals damage, in addition to slowing them down. (Nadine deals more damage the more Wild stacks she has)
I will see you tomorrow for Fiora's skill spotlight. Please, 'survive' until then.
Let there be despair to the pawns who reached the end of despair.

As we previously told you in our Quick Answer series, we will give you more details on the new features that will be added in the 3rd Alpha test.
A lot of players experienced discomfort while playing because of the long distance you had to travel sometimes to collect certain items, or because there wasn't any way to quickly escape from enemies when chased.
We listened to your feedback, and added a new feature to appear in this Alpha test: the Hyperloop.
The Hyperloop is a feature that allows you to travel long distances. There are 5 or 6 Hyperloops on the whole island. You can right click on it and choose your destination to travel quickly to an area far away. The Hyperlooped has to be channelled for 4 seconds and consumes stamina. After operating it, you will arrive at one of the area's starting point.
The Hyperloop is still under development, so you may experience unintended bugs or effects. If you experience these, please report them to us. We will improve it and make it smoother for the 4th Alpha test.

As we previously told you in our Quick Answer series, we will give you more details on the new features that will be added in the 3rd Alpha test.
The feature that we introduce today is a feature that will make battles even more thrilling.
Let's take a look at the image before we explain it.
First, here are the CCTV and console.
Take a look at the gif. After Jackie operates the console, some areas on the minimap brighten. These areas are the zones where the CCTV is placed. There are around 5 to 7 CCTV per area. Now if you right-click on the security console of each area, you can see through the CCTV for 3 minutes after it loads.
The second feature we want to introduce are the safe areas of the final restricted area.
Starting from this Alpha test, the last location will also shrink when the last restricted area ends. Your timer will start counting down if you do not go inside the SAFE AREA that you can see in the gif. Now the previous boring and never-ending pursuit at the last location will end quicker.
What will these changes bring to all the fights? You will be able to see for yourself during the 3rd Alpha test.

As we previously told you in our Quick Answer series, we will give you more details on the new features that will be added in the 3rd Alpha test.
Today we want to introduce the new BGM.
A lot of you have been asking for a BGM since the 1st Alpha test. The BGM we are sharing today is Black Survival: Eternal Return's new BGM.
In the video, you can hear the background music of the following areas: Alley, Forest, Hospital and Chapel. Although there are not all in the video, all the different areas have their own BGM. Not only is there new background music, but you can also hear more clearly the character's footsteps now.
In this Alpha test, the ground on which they step is taken into account, making different sounds as they step on different materials. The footsteps have been changed so that they are more irregular, making it harder to guess the direction and distance of the owner.
If there is something that cannot be left out in a 3D strategy game, it would using sounds of your surroundings for your own strategy. We are working hard to make possible the use of those kind of strategies in Black Survival: Eternal Return.
You can check out all the different sounds that will appear in the game by joining the 3rd Alpha test.

As we previously told you in our Quick Answer series, we will give you more details on the new features that will be added in the 3rd Alpha test.
Today we will talk about the new wild animals that will appear in the 3rd Alpha test. Here are the wild animals that you will be able to meet in the 3rd Alpha test.
The rabbits and foxes have been removed, and chicken, bats, boars, and hounds have been added.
The temporary models of the wolves and bears have also been changed for models that have been designed internally.
Unfortunately, the wild animals' skills won't appear in this Alpha test. We plan on adding skills for each wild animal in the next Alpha test.
Newly added 'Homebound' feature indicator (the white bar under the bat's HP)
Now if the wild animals get away from their original location, a "homebound" time indicator will appear on them. When the time is up, their HP will recover and they will automatically return to their original location. If you attack a wild animal by mistake or get attacked at night by one, you will now know exactly until when you have to run away.
We are very excited to introduce these new wild animals in Black Survival: Eternal Return. How will they look in the game? Check it out during the 3rd Alpha test.
