We’ve been busy making some exciting improvements to core elements of Havenhold’s player journey, all thanks to some of your feedback we gathered from our Alpha 0 test last October! Today, we’re going to showcase one of the core concepts that we have reworked in Havenhold that holds the key to unlocking unique powers and abilities - The Primordials.
What are the Primordials?
In Havenhold, you awaken as a warrior monk pursuing strength, seeking the powers of The Primordials. When mastered, it unlocks different sets of unique combat abilities.
Wielding the Power of Primordials
To wield their power, one must clear the mind, become formless, and embody them whole. Become the Brawling Seatusk and crush your enemies with its awesome strength, become the Crimson Rebel and erode the might of mountains, become the Infernal Foxtails and incinerate the heathens to submission.
When a player has mastered different Primordial forms, they are able to fluidly switch between different playstyles. Level them up individually each with their own sets of gears and ability combos, and rise up to any challenge.
Unlocking unique powers
As some of you may have experienced in previous playtests, each Primordial offers six unique combat abilities that can be uncovered and learned. From flaming darts that deliver swift and precise damage, to summoning glacial waves that overwhelm multiple foes - these abilities will give you an edge in any encounter.
That wraps up our latest update on the Primordials. Keep an eye out for more progress and updates from the team coming your way!
Added whip as a weapon. The chaotic swing of the whip can disturb space to create a magnetic field. The ship that enters the magnetic field will greatly reduce its speed and accept your lash.
As we gear up for the upcoming Arena Season, we're excited to start a series of Developer Diaries to give you a sneak peek at the much-anticipated changes! This time, we’ll be highlighting the new matchmaking system for select modes that is rolling out this Season – as well as some of the exciting new features that gladiators will enjoy in the near-future updates.
