Overhaul of Some Fundamental Elements of Gameplay
We are on the cusp of releasing the Soul Knight Spring Festival update which will revamp the design and balance of weapons, game modes, and characters. The update also introduces many micro and player-friendly improvements to polish the game to the finest state for its grand comeback.
Two weapons, Blowpipe and Staff of Skeleton, are given a complete makeover.
Blowpipe is now a charged weapon: a perfect hit inflicts a poison puddle.
Without any buffs, Staff of Skeleton alone can summon Skeleton Archer. If with the Elemental Staff buff, it can summon elite and giant skeletons.
4 more weapons, though their alterations aren't as big as the other 2, are more accessible.
Matrix of the Lord of Evil is an endless, incrementally-challenging game mode. To compensate for the relatively fewer approaches on the player's side to beef themselves up in order to cope with monsters getting stronger at a fast rate, we've added some NPCs to give players a leg up. These NPCs, Henchmen of the Lord of Evil, will randomly spawn in the first room of each level. So keep an eye open for a bit of help!
Monsters have a chance to drop temporary buffs upon death. As you delve deeper into the dungeon, the chance of getting temp perks increases. But one drop can happen in each room at most.
Wizard: Lightning Strike
After the skill is maxed out, enemies hit by the lightning strike will be electro-charged. Mentor's upgrade grants her 1 additional lightning strike.
Wizard: Piercing Frost
After the skill is maxed out, frost spikes last longer. With the help of Mentor, Wizard can summon a moving frost spike that auto-tracks a nearby enemy, piercing through the obstacles and dealing collision damage to enemies touched. The moving frost spike also has a chance to freeze enemies.
Alchemist: Gas Grenade
Cna benefit from the Shotgun buff: +2 poison bottles.
Alchemist: Concoction
When ingredients are fully stacked, tapping on the skill button consumes all stacks for a concoction, instead of mixing into one ingredient per tap.
Characters Free for a Limited Time
For 4 weeks since the release date of the 2023's Spring Festival update, 4 character skills will be free for use (no Character Free Trial Vouchers needed).
When the Spring Festival update ends, 2 different free character skills will be rotating each week. Note that limited-time free characters are at level 0 and are available in solo mode only.
Changes Made to Forge System
Another great piece of news is that not all weapons require at least 8 times of pickup for them to show up on Forge Table. White/Green/Blue/Purple/Orange/Red weapons can be forged at the Forge Table after they are obtained in the dungeon 2/3/4/6/6/8 times.
Change Character
Unhappy with your first selection of the character? Instead of returning to Main Menu (which can be a hassle, especially in the multiplayer session), you can change your character directly by tapping on the new button on the right-hand side of the lobby.
Changing characters will refresh House of Knights, meaning plants picked, weapons redeemed, etc. will be gone with no compensation for the materials cost.
