Update Highlights

Among the most important additions in the update are various new enemies and their properties:

  • Possessed enemies and crystal hearts now cause possession damage
  • Skeletons deal more damage the higher your possession value (Death Grip trait)
  • Goblins can now steal consumable items from your inventory (Theft trait)
  • Hunger causes disease damage that reduces your maximum stamina (Infection trait)
  • Boggarts cause poison damage (Poison trait)
  • Zombies slowly regenerate health (Regeneration trait)
  • Orcs deal more damage the less health they have (Frenzy trait)

Additionally, there is a new armor system for destroying enemy armor and shields, as well as a new algorithm for item spawns that affects merchant inventories, loot, quest rewards, and more.

More exciting updates

But that's not all! The update also brings many other changes and improvements to the game. For example, you can now find equipment in puzzle and boss chests and loot destroyed crystal hearts that guarantee equipment spawns.

In addition, the level generator has been improved to make the dungeons more varied. The HUD has also been redesigned and now displays new functions and effects. The death screen now informs you of lost XP and gold.

New items and potions

Many new items have been integrated into the game: note items for reading tutorial messages, healing potions for possession, illness, and poison, as well as buff potions for damage, protection, and XP gain. A new respec potion has also been added.

Equipment expansion

The update also expands the selection of equipment items in RAIDBORN. Five new bows, five new two-handed weapons, four new shields, and a new armor have been integrated into the game to balance the equipment selection. In addition, there is now the Dark Knight equipment set as a free DLC.

Improvements and balancing

In addition to the numerous new features, some improvements have also been made. Lockpicks now appear in pairs, and the intensity of item glow has been slightly increased. The frequency of quests and merchant restocking has also been increased.

In terms of balancing, the death penalty has changed: it now amounts to 20% of your current XP and gold (previously only 30% of your XP). The XP curve has been adjusted to slightly increase lower-level XP requirements and decrease higher-level XP requirements.

Bug fixes

Lastly, some bugs have been fixed. These include the spawning of quest locations, collisions of dropped enemy equipment, and the wearing of shields with incompatible weapons. A bug where the default iron armor had no attributes has also been fixed.

Conclusion

The first major content update for RAIDBORN makes the game even more extensive and varied. The many new features and improvements provide a more intense gaming experience and more long-term motivation. If you haven't played RAIDBORN yet, there are even more reasons to try it out!
