From Guardian to Surge: Exploring Coridden's Class System ๐Ÿ”Ž

[h3]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒ [/h3]

We're incredibly happy that so many of you played the DEMO during the still ongoing Next Fest on Steam ๐Ÿ˜ During one of the streams we had someone ask if picking a character at the beginning of the game ties them to a class. We wanted to clarify, that you can pick whichever class you want, it's not tied to any of the characters!



While you can get a sense of the classes in the demo, they are just a preview. In the final version of the game, there will not only be changes to the skills, but the class system itself will work a little bit differently. So in this update we wanted to share a bit more about the class system, and also show you our brand new icons representing each class!

When your character reaches level one, you can pick between the four classes: Guardian, Hunter, Hellion or Surge. In-game, you can take a look at each class skill trees before deciding on one. As soon as you have allocated a point to a skill in a class, then that class is set for your character.

Each class contains three skill trees, or skill tabs as we also like to call them, and each tab has a theme. You start with one tab, and then the other tabs unlock at certain levels. After you've unlocked all of them you can freely pick and choose what you like between the tabs!



Guardian
Skill tabs: Punisher, Protector and Commander.
A sturdy fighter that lives to protect and aid their teammates, but also to punish any enemies that stand against them with devastating blunt damage. Their various shield abilities can both protect and retaliate incoming damage, and their leader aura can boost everyone towards victory.



Hunter
Skill tabs: Ranger, Trickster, Summoner.
A cunning archer and swordsman, that prefers to take out enemies from a distance with powerful ranged skills or with their agility and prowess rather than raw strength. They can specialize in using various tools such as traps, camouflage and poison or learn to summon all kinds of creatures to aid them in battle.



Hellion
Skill tabs: Heat, Devotion, Hate.
A passionate warrior with heat as their primary element. They can channel their hate to sacrifice themselves and do great damage output with fire and piercing damage, but also give into their devotion and unlock powerful healing abilities for themselves and their teammates.



Surge
Skill tabs: Energy, Electricity, Time.
A caster and master manipulator that can unleash powerful electric attacks to end their foes. They can shape time or energy to their will, enabling them to control their enemies and aid both themselves and their teammates to keep them energized throughout the battle.

There are five tiers of skills within each skill tab. Initially, you can only choose to upgrade skills from the first tier, but as you spend more skill points you'll unlock new tiers and even more skills to pick from. In each skill tab, you'll find both active and passive skills, and each skill can be upgraded multiple times.

We hope this sheds some light on Human Classes in Coridden. Keep in mind that these are separate to what your beast form can do, though!

All you need to know about โœจAlterantsโœจ

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒ [/h2]

When we embarked on the journey of creating the fascinating, somewhat post-apocalyptic world of Coridden, we found ourselves building every element, every item, and every mechanic from scratch. This also included coming up with unique names for these components. If you've tuned into our stream (thank you!), you've probably heard us mention something called "Alterants". But what exactly are these mysterious elements and how do they impact the gameplay? That's exactly what we wanted to talk about today. Let's unravel the mystery of Alterants together!



In Coridden, players have the opportunity to modify their gear through the use of Alterants, or Alts for short. These can be obtained in multiple ways, e.g. through defeating enemies, opening chests, or disassembling weapons. To equip Alts, players will need to visit their home base, the Dayal House, located in Quilon, and use the workbench.



Every item in the game that has at least one Alterant Space can be enhanced with an Alterant. Items can have anywhere from 0 to 6 Alterant spaces, each represented by different shapes: Force (Diamond), Finesse (Circle), and Prime (Rectangle). It's important to note that the shape of the Alterant must match the shape of the Alterant space, with the exception of the Prime space, which can accept any type of Alterant. Some Alterants also may have specific item type requirements, such as bow, melee, armor, or creature form.



Every Alterant has one or two modifiers that affect the item you're inserting them in. The Alterant category decides what type of modifiers the Alt can have. Force Alterants can modify the itemโ€™s damage per second, while Finesse Alterants affect other base stats such as health and energy. Prime Alterants, on the other hand, provide special benefints, such as โ€œskill on strikeโ€ or โ€œconvert damage typeโ€.

Each Alterant's modifier values are randomized - meaning you can find two Alts that do the same thing, but one does it a bit better. So it can be worth to always keep a lookout for even better Alts to use!



Players can always disassemble an item with Alterants, and get the Alts back to use them into another item. This allows players to experiment with different Alts, trying out various combinations until they find the one that suits their playstyle the best. However, there's a currency cost associated with assembling weapons with Alts, and some Alts will raise the item level requirement, so choose wisely!

We leave the power to create the perfect weapon in your hands. Experiment, explore, and most of all, have fun ๐Ÿ˜Š

Attributes? What are those? ๐Ÿค”

[h2]Greetings, Shifters! โœŠ๐Ÿฒย  [/h2]

We think that a fun RPG lets you customize and specialize your character in different ways. So when developing Coridden, we wanted to find ways for players to do just that. Instead of just passively getting better when gaining a level, we added an attribute system where you can choose what your character should become better at. In this update, we want to dive a bit more into how attributes work in our game!


The five attributes to choose from โ€” Power, Fragmentation, Stabilization, Battery, and Element โ€” each one enhances a different aspect of your character. Whenever a player levels up their gauntlets, they'll gain 2 attribute points to freely assign to any of the 5 attributes. There's also possible to find additional attribute points scattered around the world, so remember to explore, and your efforts will be rewarded โœจ

The attributes give various passive upgrades to your characters, both to your human and your monster form:
๐Ÿฒ Power โ€” increases physical melee damage;
๐Ÿฒ Fragmentation โ€” increases physical projectile damage and status effectโ€™s damage over time (for example, if you manage to poison an enemy it deals more damage);
๐Ÿฒ Stabilization โ€” improves health and reduces the chance to get staggered by the enemy;
๐Ÿฒ Battery โ€” increases max energy and energy recharge rate;
๐Ÿฒ Element โ€” increases elemental damage and ability power (which in turn improves some active skills).



Attributes are not only important for these passive bonuses, however, as some skills might benefit and be improved from certain attributes โ€” so you can improve skills by upgrading attributes!

Do you upgrade your gauntlet's power to increase physical melee damage? Or do you focus on fragmentation to improve your projectile physical damage and damage over time? The choice is yours.

What build will you be going for? Let us know in the comments!
