Hello Vikings!
High in the Ironpeak Range, above the treeline, a sound has started rolling down the slopes. It is a chest-beat, slow and heavy, and it carries for a quarter-mile before anything appears. The mountain has a new guardian, and it wants all of Valhalla to know it.
This update introduces Aep, a fierce new Vera on Floki Island.
Take a look! ⚔️
Aep
Aep roams the high crags of the Ironpeak Range, where each one guards a single ridge as its own. It is a stubborn protector: quick to fight, slow to back down, and unable to ignore a smaller creature in need. Earn its loyalty and it will fight for you at any odds, though it will never quite learn your name.
In battle, Aep grows stronger the longer it fights. Every blow it lands and every hit it takes feeds its Fury, raising the power of its attacks. Its chest-beating War Cry builds that power even faster. Push too far and it burns itself out at the worst moment. The skill is riding that edge, then spending it all in one ground-shaking Smash.
With Aep, a new Status Effect is introduced:
- Fury - Aep's signature self-buff. It builds as Aep lands and takes blows, raising the power of all its attacks. Build it too high, though, and Aep burns out.
Updates and Fixes
- Amulet Confirm Button Fix - Fixed an issue where the wrong confirm button image appeared during Amulet selection in combat.
- Trap Placement Fix - Fixed an issue where placing a Bear Trap or Scorching Honey directly onto a tile with a Vera on it could cause combat to freeze.
- Floki AI Fix - Fixed an issue where Floki AI would freeze the battle by doing an illegal move.
