Chiara will descend to Lumia Island armed with a Rapier in one hand and her bible in the other. We're here to give you a quick look at how exactly she will pass her judgement on the other test subjects.

[h3]Rapier auto-attack[/h3]



[h3]Passive > Stigma[/h3]



When Chiara hits an enemy with a skill, she carves a Stigma into them, reducing their defense. Chiara can apply only up to a certain amount of Stigmas to the same enemy.

When the enemy reaches the maximum amount of Stigmas, Chiara's movement speed is increased.

[h3]Q > Hand of Corruption[/h3]



Chiara casts out corrupted energy in the targeted direction, dealing damage to all enemies it hits. The corrupted energy remains for a certain time, reducing the movement speed of enemies.

Hold the skill down for a few seconds to cast out the corrupted energy further and in a straight line.

[h3]W > Depraved Prayer[/h3]



Chiara divines a shield, absorbing damage. If the shield is not depleted after a certain time, she can reactivate the skill again, making it explode, dealing damage to enemies in range.

[h3]E > Mania[/h3]



Chiara sends out a shackle in the targeted direction, dealing damage to enemies hit and linking them to Chiara. If the link is maintained for a certain time, she deals damage and roots the enemy.

[h3]R > Plague // Last Judgement[/h3]



Chiara channels the darkness inside of her, transforming into a fallen angel. While transformed, her normal attacks are ranged, her max HP is increased, and she Plagues the area around her.
Enemies inside of the Plague receive damage every second, and Chiara recovers HP in proportion to damage dealt.
While Plague is activated, she gains vision of all enemies that have the maximum amount of Stigmas, and she can cast Last Judgement.

Last Judgement: Chiara can crash down upon an enemy with the maximum amount of Stigmas, dealing true damage and ending the Plague. Killing enemies with Last Judgement reduces the cooldown of Plague.

Hey everyone, Aesop here with our last balance adjustment before the Early Access release. There isn’t a lot to go over, just some slight changes for characters and weapons, so let’s check it out.

[h2]Weapon[/h2]
Focusing early-game strength is a sound strategy, but players shouldn't have to avoid certain routes because it is too difficult to survive against characters with early power spikes.

We are happy to announce that South America Server (São Paulo) and Europe Server (Frankfurt) will be opened during the Steam Game Festival!

From October 7th 10 AM PST, Eternal Return will participate in the "Steam Game Festival".

The Steam Game Festival is an event that gathers all Steam games currently having a "Demo".

We plan to open Europe and South American servers during the festival:

• Frankfurt (EU): 10 AM to 2 PM PST (7 PM to 11 PM CEST)
  
• São Paulo (South America): 3 PM to 7 PM PST (7 PM to 11 PM BRT)
  

Along with the promotion the festival provides, we hope to gain attention for our Early Access release and qualify for more promotion within Steam thanks to that.

We also hope that with a good response from our South American and European communities we can maintain the two respective servers open all the time.

We will alternate the modes each day between Solo mode and Squad mode. (Changes to be made upon player response)
