Ash of Gods: The Way News

Hello, folks!

Today we’d like to tell you about one more useful character who will follow you from tournament to tournament — the merchant. From this article you will find out what he sells and why you should visit him quite often.



The merchant doesn’t appear from the very beginning—Eik brings him to the tavern in the second half of the tournament, when Finn turns to challenger battles. By this moment our character has enough gold—let’s see what he can spend it for.



CARDS

The part of the assortment of the merchant is cards of characters and support—items and charms. But you can also buy an elite fighter and considerably strengthen your deck—Skovos will come in very handy in challenger battles!



EXPERIENCE

If cards of characters and support can be received in the battles later, the experience is never too much. You will definitely need it for the card upgrade—if not in Berkana, then in Rigga. With every tournament points of new fractions experience will be added, but players will be able to gain the experience for the rest of the decks they play.



COMMANDERS

You can get a unique card from the merchant as well. It’s one of the commanders—a bercanan lancer Ainsly. She can buff the attack which will definitely help in the fights with powerful Frisians.



The merchant can сonsiderably diversify the game. He has goods for any taste and strategy—anything you can afford. But remember that you will also need gold for the improvement of cards of support—and you won’t be able to call off the deal. Choose cleverly!

Explore the assortment of the merchant in our demo-version, share your opinion which goods you’d like to see in his shop, follow our page and—the main thing—add the game to your wishlist.

Hello, folks!

We go on talking about Finn’s companions, and today we want to meet you with Raylo.



Unlike Kleta, Raylo is cold, sarcastic and prefers to keep his distance. It seems a typical aristocratic snobbery—not to meddle with those who are unworthy of his fair company. But this young man living in the Scarlet Tower is not that simple.



Being a member of a noble family, Raylo doesn't flaunt it, thinking that respect of society shouldn't be granted by birth and detesting life consisting of balls and boring receptions. That’s why he decides to make a career in Bercana’s intelligence service, where he achieves great success and not only becomes the best student but the first candidate for the mission in Frisia. Why is Eik uncontent with his candidacy?



Eik is worried that Raylo is too ambitious. He thinks that it’s not wise to trust the one who put his intentions above all with the important mission. That’s why, not having other options, he addresses Finn who is not interested in fame.

It’s not easy for Raylo to accept the fact that his mission is entrusted to some untrained squirt. He thinks that Eik patronizes his foster son, and in the beginning just refuses to help, but then he follows the group to Frisia—though he is not very happy about this fact. Finn will have to put a lot of effort into earning Raylo’s respect.



There is one more challenge for the young aristocrate in the group—Kleta. This old and rude intelligence agent with a total lack of manners becomes one more target for Raylo, on which he can take his discontent out. The mockery of the aristocrat towards Kleta and Finn often infuriates the intelligence agent—and not only him.



But in spite of his character Raylo can teach Finn a lot of things. It’s him who demonstrates how to use new decks, telling everything about their basics and tricks. He is also always ready for a fight for Finn to train his skills with different decks and strategies.



Raylo is the most difficult and controversial participant of the mission who happens to be in the group against his wish. Will the young aristocrate manage to work together with the group? Share your ideas in the comments, train at Raylo's in our demo-version and don’t forget to add the game into the wishlist!

Hello, friends!

We have already told you a lot about an upcoming tournament in Rigga and the deck they use, and today we’d like to meet you with Finn’s companions—Kleta and Raylo. We’ve often mentioned these characters in our previous articles, and today we’re ready to tell a bit more about one of them.



It’s hard to imagine two people who are less alike. Raylo is a young and ambitious nobleman, a sarcastic snob, putting himself above others. And Kleta—a man of the people, straight and quite rude, and he has no warm feelings for prudish and pompous aristocrates. How hard will it be for these two to get along? But both of them have something in common—they both are never at a loss for words.



Kleta is a close friend and a comrade-in-arms of Eik, our main character’s foster father. It’s hard to believe that this unpretentious bloke is one of the best intelligence agents of Berkana and one of those who stole «The Way». Risking his life, he spent long years in Frisia, almost died there, and was happy to finally retire and go back to Berkana. Eik and Finn fin him in an old tavern.



Kleta hoped that he’d have a peaceful life now, but he has to take a new challenge soon. First he has to teach Finn tricks of the game, and then follow him in Frisia.



The old intelligence agent is definitely not happy about it—but his sense of duty doesn’t let him refuse. No matter how crazy Eik’s plan seems to him, he’s not the one who will hole up putting all responsibility on the shoulders of an inexperienced boy.



In the game Kleta is responsible for the deck management. It’s also him who gives Finn the First test after which he gives Eik’s foster son the first of the four commanders with special abilities.




Finn is definitely lucky to have such a companion. In spite of the fact that Kleta can push one away with his rudeness, you can hardly find a more devoted person. And the point is not only that his loyalty is always with Eik’s foster son and he’ll always support him with wise advice. He will never lie for the greater good and will speak out even the most unpleasant truth. But if things go completely wrong he will stay with his friends till the very end. And an unfavouravle outcome of their mission is definitely possible.

In the next post we’ll tell you about one more companion of Finn, Raylo. And now learn from Kleta in our demo, share your impressions in comments and be sure to add our game into your wishlist!

Hello, folks!

After giving the general information about Rigga tournament, we’d like to pay special attention to a Frisian deck – what it looks like, in what way it is unique and what new opportunities it opens to a player.



Frisians are a fraction of control. And when you first see it, the characters might seem pretty intimidating – you won’t find such high number of health points either in Berkana or in Bandit decks.



But when you finally breath out you can see that the attack points of the characters are quite low – so they can’t cause a lot of damage. Does it mean that there will be a long and boring fight? No way!

The goal of Frisian soldiers is to hold the enemy back as much as possible, and to take away the opposing commander is the task of the Frisian warlock. It’s impossible to resist the damage he causes, so it’s in your interests to finish the fight as soon as possible.



The warlock appears in the battlefield with the first summoned Frisian fighter who has the ability «Life drain». At the start he doesn’t take much, but this ability grows as almost any Frisian appears in the battlefield.



Now, when we’ve found out why it is profitable to drag the fight, let’s speak more closely about the opportunities of the characters. First if all, about the balance of the attack and protection.

Frisian soldiers are quite hard to kill, and one of the possibilities to make the fight longer is to block the way to your commander completely while the sorcerer drags out the enemy’s life.



It’s also a good strategy for the Frisians to stay as close to the position of start as possible. A lot of characters of this fraction make only one step at a turn. It’s quite enough so that the space near the commander would get filled with the unbreakable wall of the fighters. It’s also convenient to hide weak fighters with useful effects behind the back of slow but powerful characters. For example, quite a fragile Templar, who considerably weakens the enemy, can hide behind the Centurion and become unreachable for the opponent.



Nevertheless, in the deck there are some characters who are quite good in destroying the enemy’s fighters. For example, Frisian Crossbowmen move quite fast and cause a great deal of damage. But even their attack becomes twice lower when they shoot at the opposing commander



Speaking about synergy, the Frisian deck is something average between the Berkana and Bandit Decks. All in all, the Frisians are quite powerful on their own, but some of the characters can considerably strengthen their comrades. For example, the Frisian captain improves the armor of his fraction’s fighters.



It’s much more interesting, though, to have a look at how the deck of the support synergizes. There are, for example, the cards that can increase health of a group if characters, lower the attack of the hostile fighters, boost the speed of all the characters or slow down separate ones.



It’s Raylo who teaches you how to play the Frisian deck – and you can also ask him for a training fight either for this fraction or against it.



You’ll be able to try a Frisian deck yourselves very soon, and for now subscribe to our discord channel, get some experience playint the Berkana and the Bandit deck in our demo and add the game to your wishlist!

Hello, friends!

While we were talking about Ursus, the team was working hard on the rest of the tournaments. And today we'd like to show you Rigga and give you more information about what kind of place it is and what is waiting for you there.



Rigga is situated in the place where the rocks and the desert meet. Unlike green Ursus, it's a rainless land, and people there have neither merry nor gentle personality.



Rigga is situated in Gellia—the country which has already been a part of Frisia for some centuries. But if the majority of severe highlanders in other parts of Gellia remained true to their traditions, in stone-made Rigga built by Frisians, Gellian culture is closely intertwined with the frisian one. Assimilated Gellians began to shave and to wear Frisian clothes. Animal skins were kept as decorations—as, for example in the costume of Quinna Rosette.



Quinna is a supreme commander of the army of Rigga. This is quite unusual as for Frisian as for Gellian women. Some people say that it's because both Gellian and Frisian blood flows through her veins. Others mention her extraordinary talent as a commander. And only few dare whisper about her cruelty—and there are less and less of them, because they end up in dark dungeons where Quinna herself takes their skin.



The fight with Quinna takes place in the arena that resembles the Coliseum.



But to get there Finn will have to prove himself worthy in other arenas—like the one looking as sundial.



There are many other battlefields reflecting the gloomy and dark beauty of the lands of Rigga and its inhabitants' personality. And our characters are already waiting for you in the tavern!



See you in the second tournament! And for now follow us on Steam, join our channel in Discord, and, most importantly, add our game to the wishlist.
