Death Must Die - Realm Archive
We are proud to be a part of the triple-i initiative! And if you have already seen the showcase, you know that we just revealed something really exciting — talent trees!
…But first, the new goddess:
The World Peak is the highest point in the mortal realm, crossing the border between men and gods. It is this cosmic bridge that has allowed our heroes to travel into Death’s domain. As the Maker of Mountains and the Peak’s original creator, Ninh has been keeping an eye on their quest. Now that she has witnessed the heroes' persistence, she is ready to offer her blessings:
We’ll be revealing more of her abilities in our next dev log, so stay tuned! This will also be our last dev log, before the Act II update on April 20th.
Now, let’s jump back into our new skill trees:
We’ve replaced the simple signs with 30+ different talents for each hero. These will make characters feel and play unique, with multiple paths you can take for each one.
It all starts with Cosmic Essence:
This new resource will drop when bosses are defeated. You can get up to 36 essence for each hero, which is then spent in the Constellarium, to make the build you want.
Lets see what kind of builds we can make for Avoron, our Knight.
We can start with a Classic Knight - focused on blocking and shielded in heavy armor:
First, we get a strong defensive core, with Bulwark, Stoicism and Hardened Steel. The last one synergizes with Tectonic Plating, boosting offensive capabilities. And the final point in Aegis gives you a glimpse of immortality!
We are also investing in the Vanguard tree, which allows us to block damage.
Outflank gives us mobility, while Riposte and Avenger are powerful counter-attacks.
Now, when the knight blocks, he can become Exalted! This means +100% attack damage for some devastating swings!
This is just one way to build the knight.
Lets try something else - a "Holy Knight", blessed by angelic power.
This time we have a different defensive package, focused on stopping negative statuses and Divine Protection + Guardian Angel combo.
Zeal, Conviction and Austere Training is our damage package, with Edge of Divinity for smiting the forces of Death!
And we have some points left for utility:
This completes our “Holy Knight” build!
However, some knights prefer to focus more on scholastic pursuits in the Great Library of Aulum. Here is a “Great Archon of Aulum” build:
This build shines when it comes to getting rare blessings from the gods! It also provides an alternate way to become Exalted and helps you find those rare and powerful locations!
Finally, here is a Champion build, focused on heavy-hitting attacks and divine powers!
Of course, you can mix and match all of those options to create something that works best for you!
