Meet the Pilots: Kaia

Hello Pilots,

We're closing in on our release date of April 30! And we're going to continue our Pilot introduction series and today we have a pilot that has never been in a public demo! So please say hello to Kaia - Like Shun, she's a Stinger pilot with her own unique twist.

"I'M GONNA BE KING OF THE PIRATES"

Pilot Bio

Name: Kaia

Place of Birth: Atelane, a man-made ocean city.

Bio: Kaia’s home is Atelane, a man-made ocean city located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean. The people of Atelane spend most of their time under the surface of the water exposed to blue-tinted sunlight, which has caused them to develop a slightly blue skin color.

When she was still young, Kaia discovered stories about pirates, freely sailing the seas and going on fantastical adventures as they pleased. She was fascinated -- all she’d ever known was Atelane, and so she envied the pirates who had the freedom to explore the ends of the Earth without worries or constraints.

Kaia spent her teenage years with a deep longing for an adventure outside of the confines of Atelane. She would stand atop the city’s ocean level observation platforms and longingly gaze at the empty ocean, dreaming of the magnificent and diverse cityscapes of the world that she had only ever seen on screens.

The Restless Adventurer

  • Booby Traps- All of your Pickups become Booby Traps. They have a special effect when triggered during your run.
  • Fool's Gold - Your Booby Traps that have LEGENDARY rarity strike their entire row and column when triggered.
  • Treasure Chest - Starts on the grid. When destroyed, it drops treasure and gives Shock to 3 random invaders.

Kaia's artifacts are designed to keep the landspacelubbers as bay!

Having unique artifacts and cards for each pilot really helps build diversity during your runs. Kaia has some interesting cards like Plunder! which increases the rarity of all Booby Traps, then triggers and redraws them.

That's all for Kaia just now, but you can discover more of her unique cards as you play and we'll be back with another Pilot feature soon!

Much love!

The Pengonauts Team
