8 days until launch · May 19
Hello, this is the developer.
Last time I mentioned there's one more layer on top of the Awakening trees.
This is it.
━━━━━━━━━━
🌌 Hidden Awakenings
Regular Awakenings reshape your blade. Hidden Awakenings reshape what a regular Awakening even means.
Pick the right two on the same tree — they fuse.
Lightning hit + crit lightning → something a lot bigger arrives. Ice pierce + speed boost → frozen enemies stop being a problem. Fireball damage + explosion radius → the screen catches fire.
32 hidden combinations in total, one for almost every meaningful pairing across the trees.
━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ And then there's the All-Stars
Collect all 5 Hidden Awakenings from a single weapon tree, and a final Hidden Awakening unlocks.
Dagger All-Star. Two-Handed All-Star.
These aren't tuning passes — they rewrite the weapon. +400% attack, every hit triggers 25 follow-up daggers, 50% crit, 50% attack speed. That kind of rewrite.
It's the build payoff. The thing you chase a run for.
━━━━━━━━━━
🔍 Why hidden?
Because finding them is part of it.
The game doesn't list which two Awakenings fuse. You figure it out by playing — by noticing that two icons on your bar suddenly belong together, or by chasing a synergy that just feels right.
There's a reveal pop-up when one fires. That's the moment.
