[DevLog #3] Monsters Are Just Tools: Explosive Farming with 'Wall Slams'!

🛡️ 1. Defense System Understanding enemy attack patterns and choosing the right defense is the first step to survival.

  • Dodge: A basic maneuver to quickly escape attack range or get behind the enemy.

  • Parrying: Timing your guard perfectly will put the monster into a 'Knock-down' state.

  • Knock-down Reward: Fallen enemies are incapacitated, giving you two choices: a barrage of normal attacks or a Wall Slam via a charge attack.

⚔️ 2. Attack System Attacks in Rift Tavern are divided into two types, requiring strategic choices depending on the situation.

  • Normal Attack: Basic attacks that deal steady damage.

  • As weapon Tiers increase, flashier and more powerful combo attacks are unlocked.

  • Charge Attack: A powerful strike executed by holding and releasing energy, triggering a 'Stagger' effect.

  • 3-Step System: Every weapon has 3 levels of charging, with completely different attack forms for each level.

  • 12 Weapon Variations: 12 distinct weapon types offer different charge actions, adding variety to combat.

  • Stagger Effect: Delivers heavy hitstun and knockback to enemies. Using it on objects launches them to deal projectile damage.

💥 3. Finish Mechanic: Wall Slam The true value of a charge attack (Stagger) comes from the 'Wall Slam' follow-up.

  • Trigger Condition: When a charge attack hits a knocked-down or normal enemy, they are launched backward.

  • Wall Slam Effect: If the launched enemy hits a wall, it triggers massive bonus damage and a splash effect that suppresses nearby enemies.

  • Farming Synergy: The shockwave from a Wall Slam destroys nearby crates and objects simultaneously, helping with efficient resource gathering.

📅 Next Update Preview

Now that you have mastered combat, it is time to enrich the tavern's nights. In the next log, we will return with either the Hire Staff or Romantic Lute Performance systems.
