kvaris

The new, third region, located in the left upper part of the world. He is a rather spacious snow-covered biom with ruins of various buildings and a majestic mountain in the center. In my opinion, among all other regions, Kvaris looks the most beautiful and attractive, although it can be said so about any project with similar bioms. It is also pleasant that the developers decided not to lose sight of such an important feature as the interaction of the character with snow, that is, he leaves traces when moving.

KVARIS consists of 4 locations for the study, 2 combat locations-cashing opens in the process of passing the plot quest (in total 2049 BP will be required) and 1 very unique. The latter is called Rayjord Gorge and is presented in the form of a small long canyon, falling into it, the character every 5 seconds receives very solid damage and after every 5 strike freezes in place for about 5 seconds. With the stock of CP in 409 units, by default in the canyon, you can stay no longer than 35 seconds.

The only safe location is a small area around the teleport point, and it is possible to increase the overall resistance to periodic damage using new augmentations, food and equipment.

Otherwise, the region contains a standard set of features:

• The main city of the region is a small camp located in the ruins of the old settlement. Its main feature is that not people, but small robots lead all the main stores.
• New resources.
• A new set of red boxes and the quest associated with them Collect everything.
• Ton of new opponents, they are made in snowy or ice topics.
• Several especially dangerous opponents. So far, I managed to meet a huge crocodile, a creature similar to a saber-toothed tiger and a mammoth.
• Several new peaceful creatures. For example, you can stumble upon sea seals, huge herons, rabbits and strange creatures. Of course, a new type of meat falls out from each.
• In the Belugana Ruins combat location, there are Havoc robots. As in the case of Vanford Laboratory Ruins, after the victory, the robots glue to the character and help him in battle for a certain period of time, periodically releasing self-advanced missiles.
• New thematic and special random events (events).

abilities and cocoons

Even before the renewal, the developers said that all classes will receive one new ability, but in the end everyone received 4-5 each (some of them are passwinds). Below you will find a description in my opinion the most interesting:

hunter * * Sword Arts Over Charge-holding the button for a certain period of time you increase its damage. * Partisan Attack EXTRA-DOES 4 Movement in a combination of basic Partisan attacks with weapons. * Wired Anchor Strikeback-Successing the enemy attack The effect of the Hunter Arts Avenger passive is automatically applied to the following ability.

CD of Wide Range Blight Rounds and Blight Rounds General. guunner * * Chain Trigger Count Retain, if the Chain Trigger effect does not end through Boost, the subsequent activation of Chain Trigger begins with a higher number based on the previous 1. For example, if the first Chain Trigger ends at 100, the next will begin about 70%. * Stylish Roll Counter Bullet-Used Evasion of the enemy’s attack is accompanied by a counterattack. * Twin Machine Gun Alternate Arts PP Presservation-decorates PP consumption when you bind several different abilities.

The counterattack effect. * Thrust Drive Skip Attack, the activation of Thrust Drive, the next attack will immediately begin with the 4th strike of the basic strike.

To activate \ pumping new abilities in the KVARIS region, there are 5 cocoons and 1 tower, which in total for passage will award the player 9 points of skills. Below you will find a description of each cocoon, towers and a picture with their location on the map.

• Crazy Tail (2018 BP)-the 1 boss in a small arena.
• Horrist Flapping (2082 BP)-the 1 boss in a small arena.
• Clockwork Prison (2082 BP)-It 29 opponents in a small arena. They are located in separate cells, which gradually open as the battle moves.
• Wild Avalanche (2181 BP)-the 2 bosses in a small arena.
• Vanishing Path II (2181 BP) —To a small jump puzzle, reaching the end of the location.
• Deepwell (2506 BP)-It a small jump puzzle and defeat 3 bosses.

New Mechanics and Systems

Floating bord -Is allows the player for almost a minute to call a special flying board, for this it is necessary to activate one of the special yellow lighthouses scattered around the region. After the call, special buildings of acceleration and ramps for jumping are visible to you, opponents get damage in the collision, and the fast access panel automatically switches to the boards, of which only 3:

• Slow down, lets better control the board, as it always moves forward. The player is able to change only the direction of movement and jump.

* Acceleration. * Withdraw the board.

Based on personal experience, this mechanic is necessary only for 3 things, to unleash the frozen container, to move more quickly along the locations of the region and to go through a new special event. The essence of the event is quite simple: you need to destroy the boxes located under the left and right wing of the large Doll aircraft, for this it is necessary to crash several times, using the ramp in previously.

Throw Action -Its allowed to launch a gold crystal with a fragment of a gold crystal into the enemy, which are also scattered throughout the region, 4 fragments fall from each. In a collision, the fragments, exploding, apply from about 2000 to 4000 ao-win, which makes them extremely deadly weapons. As in the case of the board, for this mechanics they added their unique event, in it it is necessary to destroy huge snowflakes with the help of fragments and with their help to kill opponents.

Autosell -Dihilled by many a system of automatic sale of weapons and units (armor). In theory, it greatly simplifies life, since you do not need to constantly clean the inventory from high-level equipment, but in practice the implementation of this beautiful idea is a little lame.

Firstly, as was announced in advance, Autosell is a premium game system, that is, it must be activated with a special ticket or just buying premium (sort of). It would seem that the developers decided to implement such a rather standard system in such a strange way, but the main problem is not quite.

Secondly, in order to purchase the aforementioned ticket and activate the system for 30 days, you need to spend 500 SG currencies. In my opinion, this is a very high-high price for such a functionality and I'm not sure that the F2P game can be finished in a month. However, the situation will radically change if the price is reduced to 100 SG.

Improved the alliance system (guild), adding a special NPC with quests and various products. When performing quests, you get several thousand \ several tens of thousands of experience and special icons. The latter exchange for triggers for purple and yellow Battledia of all regions, a gold sword and armor, 6 keypots of a decoration guild for a character.

Equipment

The update brought with it 3 new series of 6 star weapons-Evoleclipse, Sechetyl and Rokz. They include all the archetypes of the weapon and, which, perhaps, is more interesting, the ROKZ series weapons are made in three different styles, while the rest, so to speak, is 1. Next, we will analyze the features of each series:

Evoleclipse * -is received by the ITEM Trader NPC for special tickets received during the preparatory event before the update. Weapon damage at +50 stages of amplification is 471, a special effect is called Elusive Unit. * ELUSIVE Unit (level 4): Damage +22%.
