Lootun 0.9 Preview: Raids
Greetings Everyone. Welcome to the first of a short series of previews for the upcoming 0.9 content update. In this preview I will cover the new endgame content, Raids!
Raids are challenging single stage encounters that require a team of up to 6 Characters to defeat. Each Raid will offer some unique mechanics that will require you to think about your team composition and which builds you bring to the fight.
[h2]Unlocking Raids:[/h2]
You will encounter your first Raid shortly after completing your first Agony Mission. Additional Raids will unlock as you clear higher Agony Level Missions and Faction Dungeons. A final set of Endgame Raids will unlock in sequence as you complete them.
[h2]Raid Rewards:[/h2]
The Primary reward of Raids are the new Unique Items. Unique Items are extremely powerful items that come with their own set of Passive upgrades that you can allocate as you upgrade the Item. More information on Unique Items will be provided in next weeks preview post.
In addition to Unique Items, Raids also reward a large amount of Experience, Rubies, useful Crafting Materials, and a guaranteed Mythical reward chest containing some new Raid exclusive Equipment drops. Each successful Raid completion will also reward a Divine Item with each Raid having it’s own associated Divine Items.
[h2]Heroic Raids:[/h2]
Upon unlocking and completing all the base Raids you will gain access their Heroic mode versions. Heroic Raids are much more difficult than their Normal mode counterparts and typically place much more importance on dealing with the associated Raid Mechanic. Heroic Raids offer much greater rewards in addition to some Heroic Mode exclusive rewards.
Heroic Raids are the pinnacle of Lootun Content and will challenge your builds and team compositions far beyond anything currently in the game.
Character Loadouts are a new build management system being added in 0.9. Character Loadouts allow you to store multiple different Equipment Sets, Passive Selections, and Skill choices for each Character and quickly swap between them.
Each Character has a Primary Loadout from which your Equipment, Passive Selection and Skill Choices are automatically copied to your 2nd and 3rd Loadout. Any changes you make to your 2nd and 3rd Loadouts are remembered allowing you to use these Loadouts to make minor adjustments to your build for specific fights without needing to farm out a new set of Equipment or set all of your Skill Passives again.
When storing a new Team Loadout the active Character Loadouts will also be stored allowing you to store multiple versions of the same team for different encounters. For example you may have a Team Loadout with all Characters focused on dealing Area Damage and a second Team Loadout where the same Characters are focused on dealing Direct Damage.
[h2]Wrap Up:[/h2]
That’s all for this preview, thank you for reading this far. Next week I will release a preview of the Unique Item system as well as a quick look at some of the new Divine Items you can expect to find from Raids.
