About the Game

Participate in Pleasant PvP

•

Abilities have No Cooldowns and instead consume and restore mana, requiring proper Mana Management to operate efficiently. This allows good players to remain competitive in combat much longer, never needing to put themselves at a disadvantage for future fights by using crucial cooldowns.

•

To make combat more engaging and enjoyable, especially when outnumbered, there is Limited Crowd Control, Limited Healing, and Limited Movement. Crowd Control always has prerequisites, typically breaks on damage, and is often avoidable if played correctly.

•

Shields are favored over heals. Healing and shielding often require offensive instead of defensive actions, reducing the benefit of running away and stalling.

•

Most abilities require the caster to stay still while casting. Movement speed is also slowed while strafing and even slower when walking backwards. Faster movement is available with a directional dodge every 3 seconds or by turning your back on the action and running away.

Form a Powerful Elemental Duality

Combine the elements of Fire, Frost, Nature, Shadow, and Storm to form up to 10 Dualities. Each element consists of 7 abilities for a total of 14 abilities per Duality. Elements are designed to operate independently and do not have direct interactions with each other. Players are granted the freedom to create their own combos and synergies.

Personalize Your Playstyle with Talents

Each ability can be swapped out with various talents, fundamentally changing its behavior. Bolster your strengths or cover your weaknesses. Examples

•

Inner Fire Baseline - Restores 500 mana over 5 seconds.

•

Talent - Restores 375 mana and increases movement speed by up to 100% over 5 seconds.

Accumulate Unprecedented Power with Augmentations

Harvest, craft, and fight for over 50 different Augmentations, each providing powerful enhancements to important abilities and mechanics. Examples

•

Hunt and Gather - Increases movement speed by up to 100% for 10 seconds after harvesting Combathorn, Elementium, Manabloom, and Vitalite.

•

Improved Fire Whirl - Fire Whirl returns to the caster upon expiration, dealing damage and slowing enemies in its path.

•

Mobile Mentality - Using an ability with full mana allows it to be cast while moving.

•

Vitalite - Increases maximum health by 50 per stack. Stacks up to 10 times.

Harvest resources scattered across the land, granting basic Augmentations such as an increase to maximum health and faster mana regeneration.
