[h2]NEW MAP: RUNENBERG[/h2]

Welcome to Runenberg, a new map of 8 Nights set in the mountains. A gigantic cave will greet you from one side, as the large bridge built by the dwarves will allow monsters to come at you from another with a vast and powerful wave. Get ready, this dwarven map's difficulty will be set between Glenwald and Elderlicht.

Did we also say one side was randomly generated at each run? Because yes it is.


Runenberg will bring new and unique features such as Runestones and Dwarves Statues:
  • Runestones: They are made of three different types (ice, fire, poison) and destroying them inflicts damage on nearby monsters without harming Heroes. Once destroyed, they will regenerate in the exact same location.
  • Dwarves Statues: Four strange statues stand on the map of Runenberg, with two of them close to your Haven, and two of them quite far away. They mostly stay silent but everything will change once the final Night begins...

This time around, instead of a big terrifying boss swirling from the Mist on your final Night, Dwarves Statues will activate and use their mystic skills to empower a gigantic wave of enemies to crush you in no time.

On Night 8, hell will let loose, Dwarves Statues will gradually be activated and Corrupted Runestones will randomly appear on the map. As you resist against the horde of monsters crawling and growing bigger at each new turn, Dwarves Statues will make things even more difficult for you by empowering the monsters around them and targeting the Corrupted Runestones. You may be profoundly surprised by the turn of events happening during this final Night...



[h2]NEW RACE: DWARVES[/h2]

Having humans may not be enough to defeat the Mist, so the dwarves decided to join in! New haircuts, new faces but also new (and small) sizes! Get to know your new friends on the battlefield!


Dwarves will have an exclusive Perks collection related to their race as well as one exclusive passive:
  • "Toss me!": Ask your lovely friend standing next to you to throw you across the map in order to effectively slaughter thousands of enemies. Talking about it, you may remember a particular scene between a human and a dwarf doing exactly just that...

Here are a few Perks examples of what you may find in the DLC:
  • Warcry: The more a Dwarf is injured, the louder he shouts, inspiring his comrades to fight that much harder.
  • Look at my Muscles: Dwarves expose their muscles to fight longer... It's a Dwarf thing.
  • Emergency tunnel: Dwarves tend to jump headlong into battle... But they’re also able to quickly tunnel back to safety.

Dwarves may be smaller, but they are also tougher! This will be reflected upon their stats, as they will have less Movement Speed than humans but in return will gain more Block and more Health Regen.

By starting a run on Runenberg, your team will have at least one dwarf.

On other maps, you'll have a chance to have a dwarf in your starting team. By visiting the Tavern, whichever map you play, you'll get as much chance to have humans as dwarves Heroes.



[h2]NEW WEAPONS[/h2]

Dwarves of Runenberg is adding three exclusive new weapons to the game. These weapons have been created to change the way you play The Last Spell, thanks to the addition of weapons' Perks. Not only will these weapons have unique spells, each one of them will also have a unique Perk:
  • Gauntlet: a magical weapon that morphs from a close range to a long range weapon when a certain threshold is reached
  • War Shield: a melee weapon designed to let you tank damages, then unleash your power as retaliation
  • Cannon: an extremely powerful range weapon paired with a risk of overheating, altering the cost of its abilities


[h2]NEW ITEMS: STONE MEDALS[/h2]

In the same spirit, we are also adding new items called "Stone Medals", letting you equip brand new Perks specifically created for it. You read it right, Stone Medals can be equipped just like any other Trinket on your Heroes, giving you more specific and perfectly needed Perks to your strategy.

The Perks available on the Stone Medals are all new and won't be available on the Perks page of your Heroes. Stone Medals can be obtained just like any other items (Shop, Bone Piles, War Spoils...).

[h2]FREE UPDATE[/h2]

In addition to the DLC Dwarves of Runenberg, we're also adding some free features for ALL players:
  • Weapons Selection: Before the start of your run, choose which weapons you'd like to have in it
  • Old Medals: A new type of Trinket using the existing Tier 4 and Tier 5 Perks

Veterans and lovers of the game, we cannot wait to let you get your hands on the DLC, and it's coming very soon! In a matter of weeks in fact, as Dwarves of Runenberg will release on April 24th at 7,99€/$7,99 .
