Devlog: The Knight class

War of Wheels · published 2 Mar 2024, 07:15 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

When the Emperor of Zeranthia began the War of Wheels, he was joined by the venerated body of Knights; these noble warriors entered the annals of history as the first war pilots. Their majestic combat vehicle, a symbol of grandeur and elegance, reflects the implacable ferocity that dwells in the unyielding hearts of these valiant fighters.

  • The Imperial Knights are the first war pilots to race across the lands of Zeranthia.

Gameplay

It is a vehicle that adopts defensive tactics and exploits opponents' moments of weakness to push them back and return fire; He deals damage at close range, but when he charges, no one can resist his critical hits.

It is a balanced specimen, capable of reaching good speed and heavy enough to overwhelm opposing vehicles.

The use of Aether also gives him the following abilities:

  1. Holy Shield: the Knight is invulnerable;
  2. Charge!: Spears, if drawn during a charge, deal enormous damage.

In short:

  • Balanced vehicle, not too heavy nor too fast;
  • close range damage, critical hits when charging;
  • active skill: temporary invulnerability;
  • passive skill: improved spear damage while charging.

Weapons


The Knights have an arsenal worthy of their reputation, composed mainly of heavy sidearms;
it can mount 3 weapons: a frontal one, a pair of side weapons and a ranged one, mounted on top of its structure; furthermore, the war pilot can choose between two different sets of weapons:

Set 1

  • Imperial blades: rapid melee weapon;
  • Jousting spears: if unsheathed during a charge, they inflict considerable damage;
  • Aether cannon: strikes from a distance with rapid projectiles imbued with magic

Set 2

  • WarHammer: slow weapon, but mercilessly crushes anyone who comes before it;
  • Morning stars: they don't extend as far as spears, but they are much more lethal;
  • Red-hot catapult: slow range weapon, its shots release hot flames on the unfortunate ones.

In short:

  • Prevalence of melee weapons, some ranged weapons;
  • Two distinct weapon sets: the first includes faster weapons, the second slower but devastating weapons.

Every province of Zeranthia trembles at the passage of the imperial army! If you prove yourself to be reckless enough... you too could become a formidable Knight.
