Hello Travelers,
Welcome to the July edition of Eterra Monthly! We know Season 5 is on everyone's mind and we are excited to share in this month’s edition: The Season 5 teaser trailer and release date! Additionally, we've got a build spotlight on a Bleed Bladedancer from Max Pita. We're also giving you a glimpse into our furry friends in a new feature called Pets of Epoch.
Season 5 Teaser Trailer
We know you’ve all been itching for it and here it is, the Season 5 teaser trailer. Welcome to Rage of the Frostborn!
Build Spotlight
This month's build comes from Max. This is a mobile bleed build built around Dancing Strikes, using dash attacks and Shurikens to stack bleed on everything nearby, then popping it with Puncture.
The build leans on attack speed as its core stat. More attack speed means more Dancing Strikes, which stacks Trickling Cuts for extra damage over time and converts a portion of that attack speed straight into more bleed damage. Shurikens orbit as a Blade Shield, pierce through enemies, and shred physical resistance to open enemies up for more bleed damage. Puncture closes the loop, detonating built-up bleed for burst damage on tougher targets. Salt the Wound converts critical strike multiplier into physical penetration for bleed, which is why the build stacks crit multiplier despite never landing a crit. Gear centers on the Weaver set, using two Weaver weapons (Ataraxia and Weaver's Gift) for the set bonus, with melee attack speed as the top gearing priority.
Strengths:
High bleed chance and damage over time
Strong AoE clear via Shurikens and Blade Storm
Good mobility with Dancing Strikes and Shift
Explosive single-target burst via Puncture
Weakness:
Gear-dependent (Weaver weapons are hard to acquire)
Low health pool limits pushing higher corruption
Requires careful stacking of attack speed and crit multiplier to work
Not a beginner-friendly build
Pets of Epoch: Archie
Welcome to Pets of Epoch, where we take a peek into Eleventh Hour Games’ very own furry loved ones. In today’s highlight, we’d like to introduce you to EHG_Muffin’s precious Chihuahua, Archie!
Name: Archie
Age: 2 years old
If they were a Class or Mastery in Last Epoch, what would they be?
Rogue 100% - He is an agile little thing!
If you were to ask Muffin about this little cutie pie, he’d say that Archie is the goofiest dog. He also loves to cuddle and often wakes up with him lying on his pillow, nestled and cozy. He loves to eat ice cubes, loves to roll and flop around on the carpet like a weirdo.
Mike’s Teasers
We shared Perilous Reflection this month during one of our Dev Q&A streams, ahead of Mike taking a well-deserved break.
What’s next?
That's a wrap on another Eterra Monthly. In August, we will be hard at work getting Season 5 ready for you all and can’t wait to share more details with you all.
