Hello Vikings!
A sailor at the docks said it three days ago: “A few good dogs followed their Vikings into the sea. The deep water took them, reshaped them, and let them loose. Now they're looking for their Viking again.” No one believed it. Until now.
Something has been stirring in the shallows across Floki Island. A strange creature - small, grinning, full of teeth, that follows boots through the water and refuses to leave.
This update introduces Fin, a brand new Vera born from the community's creativity. Additionally, we've fixed Dulur's Shimveritar, resolved several bugs across the Ship Builder, Character Creation, and combat systems, and updated the visuals for the Snared status effect.
Take a look! ⚔️
Fin
Fin appears in the shallows - river-bends, harbor edges, and shallow crossings where salt and fresh water meet. Once one has decided you're its Viking, the decision is final.
Playful and relentless, Fin is built for constant motion: darting in and out of reach, snaring targets, and teleporting away before the enemy can strike back. Behind the grin is a predator - Feral Feast drains health from targets, healing Fin for half the damage dealt, while Puppy Eyes weakens an enemy's damage output but breaks instantly if Fin takes any hit.
With Fin, a new Status Effect is introduced:
- Charmed - Target's damage output is reduced. The effect is removed the moment Fin takes any damage.
