New Features
- The Pirate Guardian
Introducing The Pirate, a shrewd and tactical Protector of Prosperity, who excels in amassing resources and embarking on bold adventures. Equipped with a reliable Treasure Map and a Glittering Blunderbuss, The Pirate deftly maneuvers through the fray, showcasing both elegance and panache. Here’s what you need to know about this swashbuckling addition:
- Treasure Map: The Pirate’s signature item allows him to capitalize on fallen foes. Dying enemies drop coins, which he collects to accumulate stacks. Utilizing the Treasure Map triggers a significant accumulation of wealth, proportionate to the amassed stacks.
- Daash Boots: Enhance mobility and combat prowess, boosting damage output, extending attack range, and increasing movement speed during the preparation phase.
- Glittering Blunderbuss: Initiate formidable cannonball assaults by utilizing coins. Available for purchase in the shop, it ensures all Guardians can unleash their inner pirate.
Furthermore, the Pirate has a particular skill tree that enhances his abilities:
- Bounty: Enhances income by killing Lickquidators and earning more resources.
Initially available to all players at level 60, The Pirate will become unlockable at level 15 with the Soldier of Fortune in future updates.
- New Lickquidator: Mama Ship
In the later stages of the game, the Mama Ship presents itself as a daunting opponent. With substantial HP and rapid-fire bursts of projectiles, it intensifies the challenge.
