Hero:

New Hero: [Qian Sui]

Introduction:
Impregnable Fortress, All-rounder
The valiant Qian Sui specializes in the art of close combat, traversing the battlefield while showing off his immense strength. Being associated with water, Qian Sui is capable of summoning a Tidal Aspis to block his enemies' fierce attacks while smashing any enemy daring to stand in his way.

Unlock: 600 Soul Essence

Skills：

1.Primary Skill (E): Tidal Aspis
Summon a Tidal Aspis to block all attacks from frontal enemies for 5 seconds. When you re-cast this skill or when this skill expires, the Aspis will be retracted, dealing AoE DMG to enemies in front. When holding the Aspis, shooting becomes Striking Punch, and [Dash] is enhanced to [Hurtle], which doubles movement distance and knocks back enemies on his way, dealing 700 normal DMG in the end.
2. Secondary Skill (Q): Striking Punch
Punch ahead with your powerful fist and cause 700 normal DMG to a small area in front. For every 1 meter of movement, +1 stack of [Fist Sensation] for 2s. Each stack of [Fist Sensation] increases Striking Punch DMG by 5%.

Talents:

Swelling Tide: When retracting the Aspis, for every 1s of its remaining duration, -10% cooldown of next Tidal Aspis.
Agile Titan: +20 Max Shield, after using any hero skill, movement speed +10% for 6s

Monsters:

New BOSS: [Pole Monarch]

The Pole Monarch, who perches on the top of Jokul, can not only strafe with a variety of weapons transformed from its Demonic aura, but also quickly approach and slash the enemy with an ice sword. In combat, the Pole Monarch can take advantage of spiritual aura to enhance itself. Only those who dare and equip with powerful arsenal can they seize the victory. Are you the brave one when facing it?

New Monsters:

[Arctic Walrus]
The vigorous and agile aborigines living on the Hyperborean Jokul. Although their behaviour is rather predictable, they overwhelm rivals with their numbers and cannot be easily ignored.

[Flying Saucer]
A mysterious aircraft that appears in the aurora. It can transmit stored energy to other monsters and provide them with a steady stream of life energy.

A Snow monkey which possesses extremely keen ears and usually appears in groups. They can survive even in extreme environments.
[Jade Fox]
A snow fox that lives in the polar region. It carries a skeleton-made gun and has a merit of agility, leaving no trace on the snow prior to a hunt.
[Mountain Guard]
A white bear that is seriously corroded by demonic aura. With the aura and its flesh fused together, their physical strength is exponentially enhanced and their nature has become ferocious.
[Elusive Stalker]
The Pole is the perfect habitat for an elusive stalker to haunt in black shadow. Being instructed by someone else, they offer nothing but a quick, clean death to anyone daring to approach Hyperborean Jokul, frightening away any outsiders.
[Thunderous Stalker]
The Pole is the perfect habitat for an elusive stalker to haunt enemies with lightning powers from the shadows. When lightning strikes and thunder roars, it indicates yet another fallen soul.

New Elite Monsters:

[Elite Thunderous Stalker]
The enigmatic elites among Thunderous Stalkers. They can conjure identical mirror images to fight together. Failing to unearth the real identity will lead you to perdition.
[Elite Mandrill Cavalry]
The battle-tested Mandrill Cavalry that shelters its rider at all costs. As a trusted mount, it also knows when to retreat and when to go all-out. Escape is an option for him in which he feels no shame, and then he waits until it's the time to strike back.

Hello everyone!

In this update, we have added some occult scrolls and adjusted the effects of some spiritual blessings and scrolls. In addition, we have adjusted the method of obtaining a spiritual blessing in [Reincarnation - Longling Tomb - Entrance] (Players can consume a few soul essences to reroll available spiritual blessings). We are still working on tweaking [Reincarnation] difficulty, and we are grateful for your invaluable feedback.

Price Increase Notice:
It has been over a year since Gunfire Reborn's Early Access on Steam, and we humbly thank you all for your continuous support and love. We cannot achieve what we have accomplished without your dedicated feedback and suggestions.
We plan to release the 1.0 version in mid-November. With more content integrated into the game and increasing development costs, we have to tweak the price by a moderate increase in mid-October. We will publish another official price-increase announcement and v1.0 update preview when it's about time to do so.

Why price increase before the v1.0 launch?
Due to restrictions of Steam, we may not offer a "Launch Discount" if we raise the price at the v1.0 launch. Therefore, we have decided to adjust the price in advance so that we can provide a Launch Discount for those who haven't purchased the game.

Thank you all for your love and support!

*If you encounter issues such as game crashes, failure to start, etc., and you cannot use the feedback function, please send your Steam name with a detailed description of the issue or screenshots to our email (duoyizhanmeng@2980.com). We will check and fix the issue as soon as possible.*
