Preview: New Skills



Patch 93 comes hot on the heels of patch 92, bringing an overhaul to a variety of class skills. As well as introducing a raft of new passive skills, the patch provides you with an improved way to influence certain skills. Please note the names of the skills used in this preview are subject to change and may differ in the final version.



Stats and Skills


This latest patch changes the importance of the different stats for the classes, with newly learnable passive skills giving you the ability to boost certain skill stats! In this preview we’re giving you a brief overview of the new passives, and reveal what stats are going to be important for you in future.

All classes will now have stats explicitly mentioned in skill descriptions, so for instance healers can now see at a glance how much health they’ll be able to regenerate based on their skills’ current stats.

Lancer

Lancers can now increase their physical resistance by 5% with the new Slick Footwork passive. Their second passive, Shield Mastery, increases the damage of their shield skills with increasing physical resistance. Other abilities also benefit from this stat.

Brawler

For Brawlers it’s all about boosting that physical amplification! Their Iron Will passive increases this stat by 5%, while Powerfist Mastery increases damage reflected from a perfect defense in line with physical support. Other skills now also depend on physical amplification.

Priest

Priests increase their magic resistance by 5% with the Blessed Will passive. Magic resistance also plays a role in various other abilities, as this stat can increase healing and shield strength.

Mystic

The new Nature’s Blessing passive increases magic resistance by 5% in Mystics. This stat influences various other abilities, including Thrall stats.

Warrior

Warriors can use the Ultracharge passive to increase the Edge explosive damage of skills in line with their physical crit power. Other Warrior skills are impacted by physical resistance or amplification.

Slayer

Slayers get the Blade Energy passive which allows them to ignore their enemies’ physical resistance respective to their own physical amplification. Physical amplification also has an impact on more of their skills.

Reaper

The new Black Magic passive allows Reapers to ignore their enemies’ magic resistance according to their own magic amplification. Magic amplification similarly plays a decisive role in other abilities.

Gunner

There’s no new passive for Gunners, as their Arcane Splash has already been adjusted, with its strength scaling in line with magic crit power.

Archer

The new Piercing Arrows passive increases Archers’ physical penetration and overcharge damage in line with their physical crit power. They should pay attention to their physical amplification for other skills.

Ninja

Ninjas benefit from increased magic penetration in line with their magic amplification thanks to the Magical Harmony passive. This stat is also relevant for a range of other skills.

Berserker

Berserkers are true to their name with the Blood Rage passive, increasing their skill damage according to their maximum health. Various other skills also scale with their health, consuming or regenerating more.

Sorcerer

Sorcerers get two powerful passives: Magic Empathy which increases their maximum MP, and Incantation which boosts their skill damage relative to maximum MP. Various skills now consume a certain percentage of MP when used, while others regenerate MP percentage-wise.

Valkyrie

The new Lunar Illusion passive increases Valkyries’ magic amplification by 50% of their physical amplification. Various other skills are similarly influenced by magic amplification.

Other Improvements


While skills are the main focus of this update, there are a few other improvements to look forward to, such as the newly updated items for returning adventurers (levels 65-70).

Daily quests in the open world in Exodor have been simplified. In future, there will be 4 Vanguard Initiative quests, instead of the array available from reputation merchants.

The way rewards are dished out on battlegrounds is also being updated, and there are cool new animations for opening chests.

EVENT: COLORFUL EGG SCRAMBLE



Who’s that hiding in the bush? It’s the Easter bunny, and he has masses of eggs for all our adventurers in tow. Open the egg and, with a little luck, you’ll get exclusive Darkan's Pink Wings, the cute pet lizard Zorenai, the Pink Heart Weapon Skin or a Cherry Blossom Wisp outfit!





The best thing is: you get to decide how far to push the envelope and when you want to open the eggs to receive your reward. Simply use the runestones from the Vanguard Initiative merchants to combine multiple eggs of the same level into an Easter gift. You can see how in the item overview. Now it’s also possible to skip multiple levels in one go when upgrading the eggs, getting you to the high quality eggs even faster.



In tune with our event, you’ll find the Easter Bunny's Runestone in the TERA Shop, as well as the Lustrous Easter Nest.

Have fun and happy Easter!

Preview: Summer Hero Transformation



Following the two most recent patches, which brought mythical gear as well as a big overhaul of the dungeon drops to Arborea, there’s even more good news to announce: in the next six months, your combat skills are going to get a divine boost!

In the first phase, many class skills and their impact on your stats will be given a complete revamp in honour of TERA’s 8th birthday. Later on in the summer, phase two will follow as part of a large update: the introduction of Avatars! Are you ready for a heroic transformation?

**Please note: The terms used in this preview are yet to be finalized and may be subject to change when the update is translated.**

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Gain an Avatar

You can obtain your first Avatar via a special quest at level 70, similar to the Awakening Quests. At this point you’ll receive a skill that enables you to transplant yourself into the body of a popular TERA NPC for a short time – and to use their spectacular skills!
A new Arborean cult personality will also be available to you after completing each hero quest. Heroes such as Fraya, Elleon or Kaidun, as well as villains such as Thulsa and even gods like Killian, the insidious God of Chaos, will be able to lend you their power.

Become an Avatar and your HP, attack power and defense will increase dramatically. In addition, new skills are coming that mortals can only dream of: some boss monster attacks that would normally annihilate a character straight away can hardly touch the incarnation of a god like Killian, for example. On the other hand, a hero like Elleon can protect his group from major damage by stunning boss monsters for a few seconds. Each Avatar offers four unique skills that you can use to put the fear of god into your opponents!

When Can You Adopt Your Avatar?

You’ll find the exact details in a comprehensive preview closer to the patch release date. We can, however, already reveal the following:
* In certain circumstances you can use your Avatar in instances
* For balance reasons, only the two battleground leaders can access their Avatars
* To activate your Avatar, you’ll need a new form of energy which you can collect in dungeons, via daily quests and other content
* Your Avatar will only last for a short period of time after being activated – so use it wisely!

Customizable Avatars

The hero or god whose form you take on when you use the skill can be selected beforehand in a menu similar to the one used for character creation.


( Full size image is available here ).

Here you’ll find an overview of the corresponding Avatar’s strengths, skills and a small recap of their back story.
In the next step, you can customise your chosen form as you like – while their appearance will remain generally in character, you can change the following features, for example:
* Eye color, hair, armour, weapon, cape (if available)
* Face decorations such as tattoos, scars, earrings, make-up
* Aura color and animation, e.g. divine glow, blue particle storm or flickering flames

There’s still a little while to go before summer but we hope you’re already as excited about this big patch as we are! As soon as we have more information there will be more news on the stream, as always. Until then, enjoy the forthcoming updates!
