The Hunters of Terra update drops at the very beginning of the month on June 2 on PC. The update brings a shiny new class, the Bounty Hunter, as well a new Squad Adventure and new Dungeon. Explore the depths of Terra and unravel the mysteries of this subterranean maze.



The Mechanoids continue their onslaught on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. The month of June will see all four distortions become available, as well as the Avatar of the Invasion: The Integrator. Complete quests to earn progress points and get yourself a number of great rewards, including a brand new Divine Form, Cyberpunk-themed cosmetics, and lots more!


 
The Gorgonides are approaching Aelion, trying to find inspiration for new battle tactics to help them in their own wars. We cannot let Akonita and her underlings be victorious! Until then, progress points to finish up the Phytonide Invasion Pass are available to buy at the in-game Market for Argents so you don’t have to miss any prizes!

 
Class guides continue to be rolled out, so keep an eye out for those if your favorite class still hasn’t been explored. The new Bounty Hunter will of course be the subject of a guide this month! If there are any guides on classes or in-game mechanics that you’d like to see, feel free to let us know on Discord (PC, PS, Xbox, Switch).
 
IMPORTANT: The dates and content featured in this article may be subject to change. Please stay tuned to official Skyforge channels for further news and announcements.

"If you can't solve a problem with explosives, you simply didn't use enough."



Bounty Hunters are fearless fighters, always ready and raring to go. They enjoy rolling up their sleeves and heading into the thick of battle to punish their enemies. Bounty Hunters are driven not by rage as others are, but by cold calculation. They enjoy their work and never back down from a good fight—especially if there’s good money involved!

The Bounty Hunter's weapon of choice is a hand mortar, a high-tech cannon capable of firing shrapnel charges and launching grenades at enemies. Its mid-range projectiles cause huge explosions that can take out whole groups of enemies in a large area, as long as you remember to pick up rounds!



Bounty Hunters do well both in solo activities and group adventures. They are most adept at medium range where they can deal significant damage to multiple enemies at once, but are also capable melee combatants. Their unique ability to reap rewards for the enemy's head allows them to earn some money on the side.

Aside from powerful weapons, this class has other high-tech devices and gadgets up its sleeve. For instance, use antigrav and levitate in the air above enemies, offering a good—and unexpected—position for bombardment. On the off-chance you get taken by surprise, the Bounty Hunter’s energy shield will come in handy.



 


Don’t forget, as with the other classes, additional talents can be unlocked by completing certain quests on Thea and Terra. Unlock your full potential!


 
This class will be available for all players to unlock two weeks after the release of the Hunters of Terra update, launching June 2 on PC. If you want to become one of the first Bounty Hunters in Aelion, you can purchase the Collector's Edition and start playing it on launch day!

 

Prepare yourselves, Immortals!

Immortals,

Our scouts have discovered a Mechanoid drill on Terra and more importantly, a passage leading underground. Of course, we immediately began inspecting the location and got as far as establishing a forward camp before Phytonides emerged, drove our units back, and forced our squad to retreat. We need your help to claim these areas.


The first scout squad attempted to transport an ether beacon to the cave but faced heavy resistance from Phytonide forces. Find the group, help them clear the enemy outpost, and deploy the beacon as planned. They cannot do it without you, and it will be an invaluable opportunity to learn more about these dungeons. Perhaps we’ll finally learn more about the Mechanoids and the past of Terra. After all, this is their home planet.



The Phytonides have dug in well, so prepare yourselves for a difficult battle. It would be best to explore in groups of three. Get in, get out.


Of course, clearing out the cave and planting the beacon is only the beginning of our journey to discover more about this subterranean location. Before they were forced to fall back, our scouts managed to collect some data on the area. According to the readings, there is a multi-level network of tunnels under the caves.

Data also suggests that there is heavy Mechanoid activity below. The Phytonides and Mechanoids are clearly not working together—there is evidence strewn around that suggests they have also clashed. Not only that, but we have found temporary bases and scouts affiliated with the Draconids nearby too.



Once you’ve secured a position in the caves, you will need to scout the first level of the tunnels and set up another camp. With so many enemy factions nearby, we cannot afford to get lost or separated in this maze. The outpost will allow us to continue conducting research while you go on ahead. Facing so many enemies in unknown territory will be difficult, so running with a small fire team will be more efficient. We recommend a group of five immortals.

Grab what you need, upgrade any equipment, and get ready to explore the depths of Terra with your allies. It is imperative we unravel the mystery of what’s going on down there and what the Mechanoids are planning to do on this mysterious planet.

Prepare to delve into the depths of Terra when the new update, Hunters of Terra, launches on PC on June 2!

The hunt is about to begin. Unlock the Bounty Hunter class and discover a new Dungeon and Squad Adventure in Hunters of Terra, the new Skyforge update coming on June 2!

The Bounty Hunter joins the roster as Skyforge's nineteenth class, and they’re set to make an explosive entrance! A formidable Area of Effect (AoE) damage dealer, the Bounty Hunter wields a handheld mortar and is armed to the teeth with explosive weapons. Deadly at range and in close combat, they can always rely on their anti-grav and shield gadgets to get them out of a tight spot.

What better way to try out this deadly new hunter than with new PvE content? Team up with up to two other friends to traverse the Terran Rift, a Squad Adventure that will task your Immortal team with navigating an underground labyrinth crawling with Mechanoids! Bring along up to four other friends to take on the Ancient Trails, a new Dungeon that will take you from the Terra’s surface to its darkest depths.

The Grovewalker is a ranged shapeshifter that uses the power of nature to enhance their magic and bury their enemies. Their weapon of choice is the Tree Staff, but the Grovewalker is more than just a hermit with a stick, it is truly a force of nature.

The Grovewalker is a tank, its main focus being on keeping its allies alive when in a team. However, it is a very formidable opponent alone.



When fighting groups of enemies, the Grovewalker can grab the attention of enemies with Breath of the Forest. This will damage, as well as sow several Diocinia Buds which can then be grown into Diocinia Flowers by using Blooming. These flowers will attack the Grovewalker’s enemies on their own, but the Grovewalker can also infuse them with additional magic, increasing their attack rate and power by using Tessa’s Call, and even turn infused flowers into bombs with the same ability after having empowered them. These bombs spray sharp needles in all directions when they explode.

To maximize the damage from the flower bombs, you can trap enemies with Nature’s Grip, which sends forward living roots to grab, entangle, and lift enemies into the air. If any stragglers remain, become One With Nature, and you will transform into seeds carried by the wind, avoiding all damage and control effects for the duration, while waiting for other abilities to be ready again.

In the event that the Grovewalker ends up surrounded but holds enough natural magic, they can use their Shapeshifting abilities to transform into a powerful Phytomorph using Morph Living Armor. This changes the Grovewalker into a melee fighter and grants them new abilities, as well as significantly increasing their endurance (HP increase and crowd control reduction—does not grant the Endurance stat).

While in this Phytoform, use Throw to attack enemies, but also to quickly jump to enemies that are very far away, then follow up with Deadly Thorns to unleash a flurry of whipping attacks with your vine arms that will damage enemies in an area around you. Go Living Missile or Piercing Strike next to stun enemies while waiting for Deadly Thorns to be ready again. If push comes to shove, the Grovewalker can even channel nature’s healing properties with Touch of Life to heal their wounds, and even gain a powerful shield when their Phytoform ends.

TIP: To be able to transform quicker, you can use Sowing to fill up any remaining missing energy you need.

TIP: For near death encounters, use Touch of Life to heal, dismiss the Phytomorph with Reverse Living Armor to gain the shield, and follow up with One With Nature so you can’t be targeted.



The main priority switches for the Grovewalker in a team. It is no longer dealing damage, but helping allies stay standing. Open with Breath of the Forest at the start of each fight, followed by Nature’s Grip to root weak enemies in place for your team. As the Phytomorph, attack with Deadly Thorns to draw the ire of enemies. Living Missile or Piercing Strike will knock enemies off their feet. Any left standing can be hit with Deadly Thorns to ensure they target your hulking form and not your group.

TIP: Change into your Phytoform as quickly as possible to maintain control of the enemy and keep yourself alive.

 
The typical Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance stat choice for solo play will serve you well. In team play, a combination of General Defense, Barrier, Ranged Defense and Melee Defense would work. Note: Ranged Defense and Melee Defense are secondary stats.



We’d like to thank our community for being fantastic as usual and lending a hand with this guide.
 

 

From organics to synthetics, everyone wants a piece of Aelion. Now that the Phytonides are being wiped out, we have intel that the Mechanoids will soon begin their onslaught. The Mechanoid Invasion begins on May 19.


Complete seasonal challenges by sending as many machines to the scrap heap as you can. You’ll earn Invasion Pass progress points and unlock Invasion-exclusive rewards available to all players. If you purchase the Premium Invasion Pass, you’ll get double the rewards!


Unlock 20 rounds of exclusive, limited-time rewards, including a brand new Divine Form, Cyberpunk cosmetics, a Companion, plenty of resources, currency, and other cosmetic and style items along the way! You can also get a Portrait Center Element as an instant reward when you buy the Invasion Pass.


The first major boss, Secret Oculat Double, can be fought from the beginning of the Invasion, but later in the Invasion, you can also challenge the Mechanoids’ almighty leader: The Integrator, Avatar of the Mechanoid Invasion and one of the toughest enemies in the game.

The Revenant is a melee fighter that uses an enormous Axe along with its Death Magic to annihilate any who are foolish enough to cross its path. Revenants thrive on death and destruction and have absolutely no qualms about dishing them out. Their strength on the battlefield inspires allies, and strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy.



Revenants use their brute force and power to crush all who oppose them. When facing groups of weaker enemies, a Revenant can choose one of two ways to approach from a distance—either by using Dehydration to pull all enemies close while draining the life from them at the same time (keep in mind that healing from Dehydration can only happen on each second use of the ability), or by getting up close and personal by casting a Gloomy Shadow of yourself that you can then jump to and unleash a powerful attack that will knock enemies off their feet. Follow this up with either Slaughter or Destruction, then finish off any potential stragglers with Punishment and Slashing Blow. Depending on the strength of the enemies, you can also use Death’s Steward to ensure their demise.

When facing bosses, begin with Dehydration before closing the gap with Gloomy Shadow (if the enemy is far away), then unleash the power of your death magic with Death’s Steward, which draws power directly from the river of dead souls, a part of which will appear at your feet and begin to slowly drain the life force of your enemy while also increasing your power. If you’re using Death’s Steward and Slaughter becomes available, strike quickly with Punishment and follow up with three Slashing Blows, then repeat - if at any point during that onslaught your Slaughter gets charged up, use Punishment, followed by Slaughter, and then Punishment twice more, before returning to the normal, unempowered Punishment, and the x3 Slashing Blow combination. This specific trick only works while Death’s Steward is active though!

When the situation becomes dire, a Revenant doesn’t have much to fear. Actually, that is when they can truly shine. When your life drops low enough, you can use Dehydration to steal some of the enemy’s life force to heal your own wounds. As well as this, you can cast Embrace of Pain to shrug off, and even heal from, hostile attacks. Any sane foe would flee at the sight of somebody rejuvenated by pain, which is exactly what happens. Have fun chasing terrified enemies down with Punishment.



As a DPS class, we recommend damage-enhancing stats like Main Damage, Critical Damage, and Critical Chance.
