Hello everyone!
The stars have aligned, and it is finally time to reveal what we have been working on.
A new clan is ready to march against the Blight:
The Crescent March brings together species whose lives are brief under a shared devotion to the moon.
To them, each lunar phase is only one part of something greater, just as every life contributes to the future of their people.
Guided by their faith, they face the Blight without fear, finding strength in sacrifice and in those who carry on after them.
The Crescent March is built around summons and effects triggered by the death of allied units. While some of its members may not remain on the battlefield for long, their sacrifice can strengthen the rest of your army and turn a desperate fight in your favour.
The clan also brings several new mechanics to Hive Blight, including Invoke, Penance and Endoregen.
Invoke: Summon a unit. The summoned unit makes its 2 closest enemies retarget it.
Penance: Trigger every 10 time this unit takes damage.
Endoregen: This unit doesn't cost any Elixir to heal if you win the fight.
Whether you choose to overwhelm your enemies with summoned units or sacrifice allies for powerful benefits the Crescent March offers many new ways to build your team.
Of course, a new clan would not be complete without a collection of new trinkets...
...as well as new equipments to discover and experiment with!
We are really excited to finally bring the Crescent March into the game, and we cannot wait to see the strategies and combinations you create with them. Share your thoughts in the comments or join the discussion on our Discord! If you want to see how they play in game, you can always check the video of...
