It's time for the final DLC sneak peek, just a few days before the release on 14.9! This time we'll take a look at the new game mode coming with the DLC: Career mode.

Like in normal mode, your objective in Career mode is to climb through five tournament ranks and finally win the championship match in order to immortalize your team as the new champions. But unlike normal mode, in Career mode each tournament rank consists of 5 normal matches and 3 qualifier matches. In order to progress to the next rank, you will need to win at least 2 qualifier matches. If you win all 3 qualifiers, you get a special bonus reward from your next match.


Also, unlike in normal mode, the only penalty from losing a match is not getting the bonuses from winning. You can't lose the game by losing matches.

Wait, you can't lose? What's up with that?

Well, the one exception to that is that you will need to pay wages to your gladiators for fighting and if you can't do that, you are forced to forfeit your run. So gold management is much more important in Career mode than normal mode. Will you use all your gold on expensive equipment for your star gladiator and rely on winning the next match or play it safe with a team of budget fighters?


In Career mode you also get to choose your opponents in normal matches. Each option comes with a different enemy team, different rewards and a different set of match rules. Match rules can include familiar Emperor demands & desires or new special effects like for example 100% crit chance for everyone or randomized spawn locations. You can choose your opponents blindly, but often it pays to gather some intel and choose carefully. At this point you can also do some pre-match sabotaging if you are into that sort of tactics...



The Career mode comes with 10+ additional unlockable difficulty levels that guarantee you won't run out of new challenges to face!

That's it for this week's sneak peek! With just a few days remaining, I hope you are as excited about the DLC as I am!

It's time for another DLC Sneak peek! This week I will share with you some of the new skills coming in the DLC.



[h3]What a waste to let all that precious blood just lie on the ground! The DLC introduces several new skills that can utilize nearby blood for healing or boosting your attacks.[/h3]




[h3]One of the new debuffs in the DLC will spell certain doom for most units. If you get hit with it, you better act fast..[/h3]




[h3]This common spell is a mana hungry beast that lets a skilled mage take full potential of their mana pool. As a downside, it will also quickly leave that pool empty.[/h3]




[h3]Why should all that movement speed used for only movement? All Prowlers start with this skill and can put it to good use with their naturally high agility.[/h3]




[h3]If you need proper deep cleansing, look no further! These pink flames will incinerate all your worries away...[/h3]


That's it for this week's sneak peek! Overall there are 46 new skills coming in the DLC so there are plenty more to try out in the game!

It's time for another DLC Sneak peek! This week I will share some details on one of the most often requested features that is coming in the DLC: Bows.



Bows will deal physical damage, but unlike normal physical damage, the damage from bows will scale based on Agility. This means that proficient archers will be very nimble and able to find just the right vital spots for their arrows. That nimbleness will come in handy as bows are not the right choice for melee encounters, dealing only 50% damage from up close.



Each bow comes with a random bow skill for the archer to start with. Additional bow skills can be acquired through rewards and the shop just like other skills. But unlike other skills, bow skills can only be used if you have a bow equipped (duh... Although, throwing arrows with bare hands could be kind of cool...)



That's it for this week's sneak peek! I'm looking forward to announcing the release date in near future.
