With the introduction of hordes and an emphasis on group combat, we want all classes to have single-target and multi-target/AoE damage-dealing options. We've been revisiting the Hunter's capacity of dealing with multiple enemies and decided to rework how the bow-and-arrow works.
Before, firing your bow would always shoot the same projectile no matter how long you drew the bow for - same speed, damage, everything. Now we've introduced the "Charged Shot" and "Power Shot" mechanics.
- Charged Shot - The longer you draw your arrow, the more powerful the shot will be, up to a limit. Drawing increases projectile damage, speed and adds penetrative power to it, allowing the ranger to consistently deal with lined-up targets.
- Power Shot - Upon charging a shot, releasing it at just the right time will shoot an even more powerful projectile. This will reward players with good mechanical dexterity and quick reflexes and will also help us balance the Hunter for multiple scenarios.
Both mechanics may vary from bow to bow as we introduce new features to the Hunter, such as elemental arrows and quivers.
The Hunter awaits you within the Tower!

⚔️ OUR AUGUST PLAYTEST RESULTS! ⚔️🔮What did we test? Last April’s Playtest we mentioned that we would give some much needed care towards our backend systems, so we could not only add new content more effortlessly, but also help us expand the Tower’s dominion in the future. We spoke previously about one of them, but you experienced the other one a lot this time. Let us break this through. 😉 New matchmaking and multiplayer system…OUR PLAYTEST HAS ENDED!This shorter playtest was really valuable to us! We meant to put for testing not only our new matchmaking system (and oh boy, what a test for our nerves was that), but also our controller support! We also wanted to see how you perform with our new content and… how we need to fix them as well. 😅 We won’t take long to share our results for this playtest! But for now, here’s a snippet of what we’…PLAYTEST EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST 31TH!Our servers collapsed too hard and too soon , so we thought it would be fair to give you guys a more time to play. 💕 But for those who already reached higher levels on our game, we have good news: THE LAIR OPEN ITS DOORS FOR THOSE WHO DARES TO FACE IT! For everyone who loves a challenge: go to the Lair and meet for yourselves the power of Mutators! Will you endure the Archmage’s powers? Thank…
