The Last Spell - ZeddOTak

Hello Heroes!

Tomorrow is THE BIG DAY for The Last Spell!

But today our dear Early Access players, we already have something for you: a new Deep Dive with all the information about the 1.0 update!

Since this is a pretty big article, it has been separated in two: Deep Dive 1.0 (this one) and Patch Note 1.0. You can read the full Patch Note here (it's long, like very crazy long):

NEW MAP: GLINTFEIN

Drawing ever closer to the end of magic, the Commander heads to Glintfein for the final ritual.

Glintfein is the 5th and final map of The Last Spell, unlocked after beating Elderlicht, and bringing a conclusion to the story.

Glintfein is the hardest map in the game, spanning only 7 Nights. Be prepared: these Nights are extremely intense, and you will have less time to upgrade your town and heroes. Some of these Nights might even hold a few surprises…

The town that gave name to this map has been completely corrupted by the Mist, and has become a deserted wasteland. When you start a run, only the Magic Circle and a few cheap defenses are present.

Fortunately, since the Commander expected this battle, Glintfein starts during a production phase, and with a much needed package of starting gold and materials. What will you build or buy before the first Night?

Corruption is rampant in Glintfein, and seems to have altered the very fabric of this plane. How will the ever shifting corrupted objects affect your defense?

This map has a lot of other surprises in store for you, especially when it comes to the boss.

Here’s a little tease of something you might encounter during your run. What do you think it does? Should you kill it or run away?

TUTORIAL

The Last Spell is a game with a steep learning curve and a lot of mechanics. In order to enhance the new player experience, we have revamped the tutorial popups at the start of a campaign.

Each popup is now dedicated to one mechanic, and popups are spread out through the entire tutorial. It’s always better when you have some time to process each bit of information!

Some mechanics that were not explained before, like Corpses, Bosses, Wounds, or even the use of [Left Alt] are now introduced to newcomers.

Players who have already completed the tutorial may still be presented with a few popups that trigger on specific events outside the tutorial map, e.g. on the world map or the first boss encounter. Just click on OK and it will not show up again!

The “How to Play” section has also been revamped. If you aren’t sure of how something works, you can check it out.

NEW ENEMY: KINDLED

Common enemies like Dodgers or Plated are designed to teach the impact of different defensive attributes on enemies. Additionally, it creates Nights or moments where some Heroes will be more effective than others, which can challenge the player’s strategy.

Resistance was the only defensive attribute that didn’t have its dedicated low tier enemy, but now this has been changed! Meet the Kindled: a monster with very low Health but a whole lot of Resistance!

Kindled are balanced similarly to the Plated, which means that you will be able to one shot them easily with the correct damage type (magic), but may have a harder time with other damage types, as long as you don't have resistance reduction. The roster of basic enemies is finally complete!

ACHIEVEMENTS

We know you were waiting for it! Steam Achievements have been added, as promised for the full release. We tried to limit the number of “super hardcore” achievements, exploring all the different mechanics and aspects of the game instead in order to keep them diverse. We hope all completionists can have some fun hunting them down!

BALANCING

A well balanced game is something that we’ve always been aiming for: strategic gameplay can only flourish if all options at your disposal are noteworthy. For the 1.0 release, our goal was to cement the balance of the game into a state where only minor tweaks would be necessary in the future: since the Early Access is over, we don’t want to make any big reworks anymore.

This patch contains balance changes on nearly all aspects of the game, but the biggest one is the weapons. We have been registering feedback on weapons for a long time, and have tweaked pretty much all of them., in an attempt to bring them all on the same power level.

For the weapons that were considered too strong, we mostly reduced their potency in the late game: by limiting explosive effects such as Momentum or Multi-hit, for example. Since most of these weapons were strong because of one or two skills, it also allowed us to buff their other skills, so they shouldn’t feel “nerfed to the ground”. We also reworked Momentum a bit, by making it easier to build up, but limiting its maximum damage output.

For the weapons that were considered too weak, we tried to buff them in various ways: giving them higher damage, more utility… Here too, we tried to have a better balance between the different skills of each weapon, as we didn’t like the fact that some weapons were played solely for the use of one skill. Another thing we noticed is the fact that skills with only buffs or debuffs (Acid Spray, Weakening Touch) are often deemed too weak, so we buffed them generously.

We also made a lot of significant balance changes on other items: Armors, Off-hand weapons, Potions and Scrolls should bring more interesting options than before, be it because they are stronger, or just cheaper to use.

Additionally, we also tweaked some Omens, Perks (especially Blood Magic, which has a cool new feature!) and the difficulty of maps. The full (as full as possible!) list of changes can be read further below, in the full patch notes.

QoL

As usual (actually, even more with the 1.0 target in sight!) we tried to fit as many quality of life changes to improve the overall experience.
Here is a small (yet very exciting) sample, the remainder can be discovered further in the full patch notes.

Attack information panel is clearer, and shows Crit data

The attack information panel has been reworked to be clearer. The final values of the targeted enemy’s Resistance and Dodge (i.e. modified by the various factors coming from the caster/hero, like Accuracy, Res. Reduction, Magic Damage, etc.) are now displayed directly on the top-left of the attack panel, instead of “sneakily” modifying the values shown on the enemy’s panel attributes.

In addition to that, a line has been added under the Final DMG to show the crit chance and potential damage, because this definitely plays a big part in decision making!

Item comparison is more accurate than ever

Item comparison has been improved to make skill previews more accurate. When hovering over an item in the shop or stash to compare it to your currently equipped item, we would previously use the current attributes of the Hero for the skill previews of both items.

Here’s how it functions now:

The item that is already equipped uses the current attributes of the Hero
The item that is being hovered (in your stash, shop or rewards) will use the current attributes of the

Hero, add the attributes of the new item, and subtract the attributes of any items that would be unequipped by equipping this item.

Here is an example with two very similar bows that show different values in damage and range for the preview of Power Shot, since they have different attribute bonuses.

Perks planner

You can now plan your perk build on the perk tree using the right click! This is only a visual cue to remind you what you want to do with a given hero, it doesn’t do anything by itself, but it helps A LOT to remain consistent with your plans.

Obviously this is saved/loaded with your run, otherwise it wouldn’t be that dope…

Oraculum Filters & Sorting

Added Filters and Sorting options in the Oraculum

Temple & Mana Well feedback improvement

Visual feedbacks for the Temple and Mana Wells have had a lot of small improvements. To name a few:

Restore action now show the same regen icon as potions when you would use them on a Hero
A similar icon has been added for actions that increase an attribute
Feedbacks are shown on all heroes when hovering an action that would restore all heroes, but is attenuated for heroes that already have full Mana/Health
Feedbacks are shown both when hovering a hero on the field or by hovering their portrait in the top right

“Compare gear with” now shows the weapons

You can now see the active weapon set of each hero in the comparison drop down

We hope we've got you excited about the 1.0 release tomorrow! On our end, we sure are! Thank you for reading and thank you for helping us making The Last Spell the way it is.

Patch Note 1.0

The Last Spell - ZeddOTak

Hello Heroes,

You will find below the whole Patch Note 1.0 for the official release of The Last Spell, and yes, Momentum has been reworked.

Enjoy the read, it is quite long.

A Deep Dive 1.0 about the new content & balancing of the official release is available here:

OTHER QoLs

The keybinds dedicated to skills, as well as the ordering of those skills in the skillbar, have been heavily reworked: it allowed to separately bind weapon skills, equipment skills and contextual+perk skills, while also ensuring a more robust positioning of individual skills over the course of a run. This grants a far better control when using hotkeys to cast skills!

Note: as a result of the heavy changes on the actions mapping, we had no choice but to reset all the keybinds.

The perk points count will now show “MAX” when the maximum number of perks has been reached.
Dialogues in the Oraculum can now be skipped by pressing Escape.
Entering the Oraculum when there is no narration is now faster.
The options menu now has a scrollbar and is easier to navigate. As a result some settings have been moved around.
Tooltips have been added to most of the settings in order to clarify what they do.
Added an option to manually force which type of device should be used for inputs (default: Auto).
Added an option to display the maximum value of AP (e.g. 7/10 AP), Move and Mana on the main HUD when a hero is selected, as well as on the portraits list (default: OFF).
Added an option to always display the AP, Move and Mana values on the portraits list, instead of only when being hovered (default: OFF).
Added an option to hide keyword explanations in tooltips (default: OFF)
Added an option to show keybinds in the skillbar (default: ON)
Added an option to disable the automatic centering of the camera when selecting a unit outside your screen (default: OFF)
One can now manually center the camera on the currently selected hero by clicking their portrait in the main HUD, clicking their portrait in the portrait list, and/or using the hotkey dedicated to the selection of that hero a second time.
There is also a dedicated keybind created for that if needed (unassigned by default).
Added an option to enable camera edge panning (default: ON).
Added an option to enable camera edge panning when the mouse is over UI (default: ON).
You can now see the range of your defensive buildings directly when hovering them.
It is now possible to skip end-of-map cutscenes, after watching them once.
The construction limit for a given building/group of buildings (shown in their dedicated tooltips, in construction mode) is now displayed in red when the maximum has been reached.
Improved the “Workers” panel in the Commander’s Journal: it has been split into 2 distinct sub-entries, one for the building actions with a worker cost, and the other dedicated to “free” building actions.
Removed the right-click behaving like [Escape] in the world map and Oraculum.
Streamlined a bit the flow when recruiting a new hero and placing them in the world: the game won’t re-open the Inn popup anymore, and the new recruit will be automatically selected.

ATTRIBUTES

Momentum

The bonus damage given by Momentum now caps at +400% (meaning that a Momentum attack will, at most, deal 5 times more damage).
New Skill effect, No Momentum: Using a skill with “No Momentum” will not increase the Momentum bonus. No Momentum has been added to the following skills: “Teleportation” (Warp Crystal), “Teleportation scroll” (consumable), “Blink” (perk) and “Warp” (Warp Gate). All other skills count towards the Momentum bonus.

Stun

The modified stun chance of skills (Stun chance of the skill + stun attribute, before taking Stun Resistance into account) can now exceed 100%.

For example, if you have a skill with 60% Stun Chance, and 50% in the Stun attribute, you will now have 110% Stun Chance instead of 100%. This means that, when hitting an enemy with 80% stun Resist, you will have a 30% chance of stunning them, versus 20% before.

Please note: The bounds of the Stun attribute itself remain unchanged.

Heroes (and ONLY Heroes) will now gain immunity to Stun for 1 Turn after getting stunned.

Attribute bounds

Health: 50 Min, 750 Max -> 50 Min, 1000 Max

Equipment

Mana, Mana Regen and Momentum bonuses have been rebalanced in accordance to the level ups changes.
Action Points random affixes are now more scarce on low level items, and slightly more frequent on high level items.
Multi-hit random affixes will now only drop on items level 2 or more, with their frequency increasing with item level.

Traits

Mana and Mana regen bonuses have been rebalanced in accordance to the level ups changes

WEAPONS

All native attribute bonuses on weapon variations have been tweaked to better match the current balance of attributes, and sometimes swapped for different ones more consistent with the weapon’s skillset.

We’ve added new experimental features in 7.05! As revealed in the last Development Update Stream, Gadgets now have unique Sound FX for when they hit the ground. We’ve also fine-tuned Vector’s Down Rocket Lance Signature Rework and graduated part of Isaiah’s Side Blasters Signature rework! See below for full details.

Gadget Bounce Sound FX

There is now a sound for when a Gadget is thrown and hits the ground. Each Gadget has its own unique sound that changes based on its velocity. The Sidekick Summoner Horn makes a special sound if you throw it just right!

Signature Attack Reworks

Vector Down Rocket Lance

Based on your feedback, Vector now hops backwards at the beginning of the Charge time, but carries greater momentum for improved Slide Charging.
The steering during Charge time has been removed to allow for this preservation of momentum.

Isaiah Side Blasters

Wider drone movement and quicker Time to Hit have graduated into all queues.
The post-attack Charge time did not prove to be useful enough, so this Signature will maintain its original Charge and movement behavior.

Please share all of your feedback with us on our socials like Twitter and Discord! For more information, visit http://brawlhalla.com/test-features.

This patch brings a round of balance changes based on top level feedback and results from the Winter Championship. This involves reining in a few key options on some overperforming weapons, as well as larger adjustments to Tezca and the Battle Boots.

Axe

We have decreased the total Recover time of Axe's Down Light to better correlate with its role as an anti-air attack. Axe's Down Air now allows for greater acceleration and maximum speed for better use as an approach option, especially from a Dash Jump or Chase Dodge.

Axe Down Light: Decreased total Recover time from 14 Fixed/11 Variable to 12 Fixed/11 Variable.
Axe Down Air: Slightly increased allowed maximum speed and forward acceleration at the beginning of the attack, and after the attack on hit.

Battle Boots

The Battle Boots Side Light now has slightly less Stun on the Active Input version to allow for greater Dodge Windows between follow-up attacks. The Battle Boots Down Light has greater Recover time on miss and slightly less threat coverage at maximum range to allow for easier punish attempts against this combo starter. We have also reduced the Stun time of the Battle Boots Neutral Air to allow for greater avenues of escape during aerial strings. The Battle Boots Side Air now has greater Recover time on miss, as well as less Force on the normal version to better match its overall utility. The Battle Boots normal Side Air and Recovery now do slightly less Damage to reduce this Weapon's overall rate of building damage.

Battle Boots Side Light: Decreased Stun of the Active Input version from 25 to 24.
Battle Boots Down Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 13 Fixed/15 Variable to 15 Fixed/15 Variable; Slightly decreased maximum vertical threat coverage, especially at the tip of the attack.
Battle Boots Neutral Air: Decreased Stun from 19 to 17.
Battle Boots Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 4 Fixed/16 Variable to 6 Fixed/16 Variable; Decreased Force of the normal version from 55 Fixed/42 Variable to 52 Fixed/39 Variable; Decreased Damage of the normal version from 16 to 15.
Battle Boots Recovery: Decreased Damage from 16 to 15.

Bow

The Bow's Side Light now has greater Recover time on miss, as it was previously too safe for its reliability as a string starter and general spacing tool. We have also increased the Recover time on miss for the Bow Recovery to better match its threat coverage and overall reward.

Bow Side Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/19 Variable to 6 Fixed/19 Variable.
Bow Recovery: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/21 Variable to 4 Fixed/21 Variable.

Cannon

The Cannon Side Air now has greater Recover time on miss for more reliable punish attempts against this highly mobile and powerful attack.

Cannon Side Air: Increased total Recover time on miss from 2 Fixed/16 Variable to 4 Fixed/16 Variable.

Gauntlets

The Gauntlets Down Air now has a significantly more vertical angle of knockback and slightly less Force. This change in angle allows for new strings and pursuit options in Singles gameplay, while also requiring team combos to be performed at a much closer range with greater risk of friendly fire. The reduction in Force keeps the off-stage total knockback distance relatively equal to its previous value, and maintains a close position for follow-up attacks in a wider damage range.

Gauntlets Down Air: Angle of knockback is now much more vertical; Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/25 Variable to 45 Fixed/23 Variable.

Hammer

The Hammer Neutral Air has slightly greater Stun to allow for more reliable follow-up attacks at low damage ranges, and slightly greater positional advantage at medium damage ranges.

Hammer Neutral Air: Increased Stun from 27 to 28.

Katars

We have increased the Katars Neutral Light Recover time on miss, as it could previously rotate into this Weapon's other fast grounded attacks too quickly. The Down Air's grounded Recover time on hit has been altered to open a Dodge Window after this attack for extremely high Dexterity values. Similarly, the Katars Recovery now has slightly less Stun to open a Dodge Window after its use at low damage ranges.

Katars Neutral Light: Increased total Recover time on miss from 5 Fixed/12 Variable to 7 Fixed/12 Variable.
Katars Down Air: Changed total Recover time on hit for the grounded version from 1 Fixed/11 Variable to 2 Fixed/10 Variable.
Katars Recovery: Decreased Stun of the final hit from 20 to 19.

Arcadia

Arcadia's Down Spear and Down Greatsword have greater Recover time to allow for easier punishes, ideally from a Dash Jump Side Air or Down Air respectively.

Arcadia Down Spear: Increased total Recover time after the trap is created from 18 to 20.
Arcadia Down Greatsword: Increased total Recover time after the trap is created from 23 to 25.

Cross

Cross' Neutral Gauntlets, Side Gauntlets, Side Blasters, and Down Blasters have received reductions in Force to better match their total duration, given their common use as a finisher in team combos.

Cross Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/48 Variable to 60 Fixed/45 Variable.
Cross Side Gauntlets: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/52 Variable to 60 Fixed/49 Variable.
Cross Side Blasters: Decreased Force from 45 Fixed/58 Variable to 45 Fixed/54 Variable.
Cross Down Blasters: Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/53 Variable to 65 Fixed/50 Variable.

Gnash

Gnash's Down Spear now has greater Damage and Force to better match its lengthy Time to Hit.

Gnash Down Spear: Increased Damage from 25 to 27; Increased Force from 60 Fixed/50 Variable to 65 Fixed/52 Variable.

Isaiah

While the alternate charge timing of Isaiah's Experimental Side Blasters did not graduate, the new drone trajectory and faster Minimum Charge time is now live to improve the responsiveness and threat coverage of this attack.

Isaiah Side Blasters: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 10 to 7; The drone attack begins closer to the user, resulting in greatly increased threat coverage.

Kor

Kor's Down Hammer now has slightly less Minimum Charge time and slightly greater Force for better responsiveness and reward on this lengthy attack.

Kor Down Hammer: Decreased Minimum Charge time from 5 to 4; Increased Force of the aerial version from 54 Fixed/51 Variable to 54 Fixed/52 Variable; Increased Force of the grounded version from 60 Fixed/53 Variable to 60 Fixed/54 Variable.

Onyx

We have decreased the Force of Onyx' Neutral Cannon to better match its total duration and utility as a finisher in team combos.

Onyx Neutral Cannon: Decreased Force from 75 Fixed/55 Variable to 68 Fixed/53 Variable.

Tezca

Tezca's Neutral Gauntlets grounded version, Down Gauntlets grounded version, Side Battle Boots, and Down Battle Boots grounded version all now have significantly less Fixed Force, notably delaying their knockout potential at intermediate and high damage ranges.

Tezca Neutral Gauntlets: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 75 Fixed/52 Variable to 65 Fixed/52 Variable.
Tezca Down Gauntlets: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 72 Fixed/50 Variable to 62 Fixed/50 Variable.
Tezca Side Boots: Decreased Force from 70 Fixed/50 Variable to 60 Fixed/50 Variable.
Tezca Down Boots: Decreased Force of the grounded version from 75 Fixed/56 Variable to 65 Fixed/56 Variable.

Val

Val's Down Sword now has less Recover time on miss and greater Force, for less risk and greater reward, given this attack's static position and lengthy total duration.

Val Down Sword: Decreased total Recover time from 24 to 21; Increased Force from 70 Fixed/46 Variable to 70 Fixed/49 Variable.

User Interface

Damage color entity flashes match HUD health indicator

When a Legend gets hit, they flash the color of their damage. Previously, this color was tiered between white/yellow/orange/red. This caused the damage flash to sometimes be incorrect compared to the HUD health indicator on the top-right of the screen.
Now, this color flash on the Legend matches the HUD exactly - with full granularity between all the colors. Not only does this affect Legends that are damaged, but it also affects the ball and the ball trail in Kung Foot and the gates in Horde Mode.

Art & Animation

We’ve added new tech for Jaeyun and Ezio so their in-game models will more accurately reflect their character designs. Now Jaeyun’s missing eye and Ezio’s scar will stay on the correct side.
Tweaked the Battle Boots’ Side Air hit and the Down Light miss animations.

Game Modes

Removed Grumpy Temple and Small Grumpy Temple from the Dice and Destruction game mode Map selection.

Maps

Western Air Temple’s camera is now properly centered on the stage. Camera bounds now follow a standard 16:9 ratio, resulting in smoother camera movement and better tracking of players. Left and Right camera bubble distances are also now equal. This gives less area of the map for players to just “swim around” offscreen.
Western Air Temple KO Line adjustments: distance to the top knockout line is now much farther. Distance to the bottom knockout line is now slightly farther as well. Left and Right knockout lines are now equal. This brings this Map more in line with other standard Maps.

Gameplay

Bots are now more proactive about finding opportunities to pick up a Weapon and spend less time unarmed.

User Experience

Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where once the drop down menu for a Legend/bot was opened, hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot would unintentionally change which Legend/bot you were changing settings for without any visual indication that something had changed. Hovering your cursor over another Legend/bot while the drop down menu is open now has no effect.
Fixed a bug where the randomized Emote animations in the Battle Pass Progression screen would always play the same sound instead of playing the appropriate sound to match the current animation.

User Interface

Fixed a bug with the Manage Party menu where opening the drop down menu for a bot, then closing it, then opening the menu for a different bot would still display the Bot Difficulty setting for the previous bot.
Fixed a bug where purchasing Battle Pass Tiers would cause any subsequent purchase from Mallhalla to erroneously show the purchase confirmation for buying Battle Pass Tiers instead of the confirmation for the item purchased. This was a display bug only and did not have an effect on purchases.
Fixed a bug on PC where the "Rejoin Game" prompt is not clickable.
Fixed a bug where the South Africa flag did not render in the Public Games List.
Added the “Wearing Hat” tag to Nightblade Hattori, and removed the “Wearing Hat” tag from Horus Mirage.
Shortened the Training mode menu popup on Nintendo Switch & Xbox One.

Gameplay:

Fixed a bug that was causing Capture the Flag and Brawlball matches to experience a rollback at the start of the game.

Map

Fixed a bug where the Dracula’s Castle and Inverted Dracula’s Castle Maps weren't rendering on PlayStation 4.
