This week's recommended build features Fiora, the elegant sword wielder of Lumia .

A few days ago, we checked out Fiora’s skills and combos, but today we’re gonna check out some items and where to build them quickly.



For a weapon, we recommend that she pick up the Volticletto. It gives her everything she needs: Attack Power, Attack Speed, Crit, and Cooldown reduction. Attack speed is especially important for her to apply more stacks of Touche.

A good accessory for her is the Vital Sign Sensor. It gives her a whopping 40% attack speed. You can also build it into the Radar, which will give her some more crit late game.

Another strong piece of armor for her is the Bucephalus. Though lacking attack speed, it still provides her some more crit and attack power, really rounding out her build.

In order to build this, Fiora has to visit just four places! Factory > Chapel > Forest > Avenue

The 5th alpha is RAPIDLY APPROACHING, so be sure to head over to our super cool Discord Server!

Next week be sure to stop by to learn about Nadine, the Wild Huntress.

Hello, your friends at Nimble Neuron here again.

We've got some great news regarding the 5th Alpha test and we're excited to share it with you all! You can find all the info you need about our upcoming test below:

We received a lot of requests for more time for this 5th Alpha test. We listened. We've added some additional dates to the 5th Alpha Test for our European friends.

1st test weekend: March 13th - 6pm to March 15th - 6pm (PST)

※ Please note that the schedule is still subject to change depending on the development process. We will inform you of any changes as soon as possible.
※ We are planning to have patch notes in between the two tests. However, this is also subject to change depending on various internal and development factors.

During the first weekend, only the Ohio and Seoul servers will open. On the following weekend, the Ohio server will be replaced by the Frankfurt server. The Seoul server will remain open on both weekends.

1st test weekend: Ohio (North America) and Seoul (Asia)
2nd test weekend: Frankfurt (Europe) and Seoul (Asia)

The game keys for the 5th Alpha test will be freely distributed on our official Discord server starting February 28th (the starting date may be postponed depending on the reception of the keys from Steam).

Your nickname will be added in the game credits if you complete our feedback form after the test.

Once again, it’s your friend GM_Aesop here with another of our Character Quick Tips.

• Fiora loves stacking her passive, Touché. A good way to apply a couple stacks is with her W, Attaque Composée.
  
• Once she applies as many stacks as possible, proc them with her Q, Fente, to do tons of damage,
  
• If you can apply a couple more stacks, use E, Marche & Rompre, to do extra damage again or to disengage if you took a wrong fight!

Fiora can use 3 different weapons in total: Rapier, Spear, or Two Handed Sword. The above image shows which abilities come with each weapon, so you can get a refresher for our upcoming alpha test!

Stay tuned for a great route and build for Fiora this coming Thursday!

You can also scope out these tips in the game client as well, just under the “Tips” section!


You can check out Fiora’s Character Spotlight video right now, if you’ll pardon my French...

Next in our series of recommended builds, we have Magnus - the Motorcycle Menace.

The 5th Alpha is coming up soon, so you can use this to prep your strategy!

We also recently looked at Magnus's combos in our previous post, so now you can check out his items and routes here:



The Hammer of Thor matches well as it gives him exactly what he wants: POWER. The attack speed bonus is also nice since Magnus's base attack speed is relatively low.

Imperial Crown is also very beneficial late game. It gives him a lot of great improvements to his base stats, like defense and HP, but it also brings skill amplification, which will stack with his 17v1, which is a great source of damage (especially against movement impaired enemies.

A third useful item for him is the Commander's Armor. It gives him more defense, and since Magnus likes to get up close and personal, more survivability. It also brings more skill damage to the table, which stacks well with the Imperial Crown.

Magnus only has to visit 3 places to complete all these items: Avenue > Temple > Pond

Gear up for the 5th Alpha with us, over on our fun and interactive DISCORD SERVER!

Remember to stick around, next time we'll have everyone's favorite fencer, Fiora.

GM_Aesop here with another of our Character Quick Tips series.

• When Magnus encounters an enemy, a good strategy is to lead with his E and stun his enemies so you can..
  
• .. slow enemies with his Q! It’s easy to land skill shots on a stunned enemy. The slow lasts for a while, which means..
  
• ...You have plenty of time to deal extra damage to your enemy with his W.

Magnus has a choice of two weapons: Bat or Hammer. The image above gives you a quick glance at both of his weapons, so start thinking about which you’d like to use in the upcoming 5th alpha test!

I’ll be back Thursday with a short video on Magnus’s favorite items and his route to craft them.

You can check these tips in the game client as well, just under the “Tips” section!

You can check out Magnus’s Character Spotlight video right now! Check it:

Hello everyone! It’s your friend GM_Aesop here and today I have the pleasure of showing you the beautiful concept art of our newest addition to BS:ER : Hart!



She has some stickers from her favorite bands and, of course, her favorite lollipop. You also might notice that some of those same stickers were plastered on the box that was recently delivered to Lumia Island. She also stays true to her name, with a heart shape on her stickers, guitar, shoes, necklace, and chain! ♥

In the future, we’ll share some more stuff about your favorite rockstar; including her abilities, weapon skills, and maybe a character spotlight. You’ll just have to stay tuned and see~

There’s also a special event happening on Discord right now for a few more days, just for Hart. Stop by and make some songs with us!

And as always, remember to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for quick updates!

Hello everyone! Your friend GM Aesop here to announce that your favorite guitarist is coming to Lumia: Hart.



Hart brings her trademark red guitar, piercings, and as always, her lollipop to the island.



Hart brings some new weapons to the island as well, so stay tuned for those!

To commemorate the release of Hart, we’re also doing a special event on Discord to help bring the musician out in you: we want to hear you create your own Hart theme song for us. (Don’t worry, it’ll be easy)
We’ll be giving out some special rewards out for that event, so keep an eye out later today for that!

Excited for Hart? Let us know on Discord and get ready for the event!

Also be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for quick updates!

Good morning, afternoon, or evening, ladies and gentlemen. GM_Aesop here with some very important information. Something is headed to Lumia island and it kinda looks like an airdrop… except it's a little bigger?

I actually managed to secure a photo of the package before it shipped, check it out:



I haven't been informed as to what - or who - is inside of the box, so stay tuned for more information coming your way this week!

What is it? Discuss on our Discord or follow our Twitter or Facebook to get updates too!

The third in our series of recommended builds, we’re here to share our favorite items on HyunWoo.

If you have your own favorite builds or itemization, send them our way! We’d love to hear it.

We scoped out HyunWoo’s abilities and gameplay in our last post, so check out this video on where and how to find his items:



Although a lot of people like gloves, the Plasma Tonfa is a good item for him. It gives him attack power and defense. HyunWoo takes advantage of defense since he has to get up close and personal with his enemies.

Radar is a super beneficial piece of arm armor for HyunWoo. It gives him more defense and attack speed, which is a nice way for him to proc his passive more often and heal in brawls.

Lastly, the Uchiwa. HyunWoo takes advantage of the Uchiwa’s life steal, which gives him a little more life between Dogfight procs, and its SP regen, as his abilities start to get a bit expensive as he levels them up.

Avenue > Alley > School > Archery Range > Hotel is a quick and easy route for him to get all 3 items.

Join our kickass DISCORD SERVER to discuss a route you would take as HyunWoo.

Stay tuned - our next quick tips will feature the character in the 4th Alpha with the highest win probability: Magnus.
