The Beta for the Blood Weaver starts now!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Heroes and Heroines,

The next beta is live: the upcoming class, the Blood Weaver!

In a previous blog post, we introduced the initial concept and a rough profile. The final game design is almost finished and is now ready for you to test. We're looking forward to your feedback, suggestions, and discussions!

Beta Process

  • 05.08.2026 12:00 PM - 12.08.2026 12:00 PM CEST.

  • Browser-only participation: https://beta.sfgame.net/

  • Join our Beta Discord for feedback and discussions: https://discord.com/invite/5mUmRChSft

  • There will be an in-game survey towards the end of the beta. We'll share the questions with you ahead of time on our Beta Discord server.

  • From now on, all in-game texts, including the survey at the end, are fully translated. However, the communication on our Beta Discord is in English only.

Who is the Blood Weaver?

General Information

  • Main attribute: Strength

  • Armor class: Heavy

  • The Bloodweaver has no shield, but makes up for it with two unique abilities

Abilities

  • Blood Pact

    • The Bloodweaver can sacrifice a portion of their current Hit Points to unleash an additional attack.

    • The chance to perform this morbid ritual is 30%.

    • In doing so, the Bloodweaver sacrifices 10% of their current Hit Points to execute the additional attack.

  • Death Seal

    • As soon as the Bloodweaver takes a fatal blow for the first time, their Death Seal activates.

    • It revives the Bloodweaver with 50% of their Hit Points. From then on, every attack has a 20% chance to inflict a damage-over-time (DoT) effect on the opponent for up to 2 rounds. The resulting damage factor is 15%. This does not apply if the DoT is already ticking on the opponent.

    • For the rest of the battle, Bloodweavers then have a dodge chance of 25%.

    • After Blood Weavers have revived themselves through their Death Seal, they can no longer perform their Blood Pact.

Combat

  • Behavior against Mages

    • Abilities cannot be activated against Mages. Just like the Warrior can't block magical attacks with his shield.

  • Behavior in group fights

    • The Death Seal's revival is not reset.

    • The Death Seal debuff disappears when the opponent or Blood Weaver dies

Additional Beta Info

  • You need an S&F account to participate in the Beta.

  • After creating a character, you can choose between different presets or start from scratch. You can play multiple presets/characters at once.

    • Presets:

      • Character Level LV 300

      • Character Level LV 400

      • Character Level LV 500

      • Character Level LV 600

  • All Witch enchantments are unlocked.

  • All Dungeon keys are unlocked. No Dungeon is completed. Some Dungeons must be completed first to gain access to higher Dungeons.

  • The Arena Manager is unlocked.

  • The Fortress is unlocked.

  • The Underworld is unlocked.

  • Pets are unlocked and maxed out (all Pets at level 200).

  • All habitats are completed.

  • The Scrapbook is full.

  • The Hall of Fame features dummy characters for every class from level 300 - 600.

If you have any questions about the Beta or want to share some feedback, we'd love to see you on our Beta Discord.

Have fun with the new class!

Your Shakes & Fidget Team
