Vilde News

[p]Hey everyone.[/p][p]We’ve been reading your feedback seriously, all of it and yeah, we agree: some things need to evolve. So we’re making real changes. Here’s what’s coming soon.

Let’s break it down.

[/p][p]Vilde 1.1 — STARFALL[/p][p]Charms (Amulets) Every run going to start with a unique charm that gives you a cool passive effect. To unlock them, you’ll need to complete certain in-game goals so your runs stay fresh and actually mean something.[/p][p]A few examples:[/p]

• [p]Fireseed Charm – enemies catch fire and explode.[/p]
• [p]Heimdall’s Eye – hitting enemies stacks up crit damage.[/p]
• [p]Breezweaver – move faster after dashing.[/p]

[p]They must change how you play.
[/p][p][/p][p]Starshards (Ultimates)
We’re adding a whole new tier of abilities you can craft using Stardust.
They’re strong and limited, and if you time them right they can save a bad run or supercharge a great one.[/p][p]Examples:[/p]

1. [p]Joker Buff (random 8s powerup, once per arena):[/p]
   • [p]Mad Speed: shoot faster, aim worse[/p]
   • [p]Glass Edge: massive damage, take more in return[/p]
   • [p]Golden Touch: kills drop extra gold
     (one triggers per fight — no repeats)[/p]
2. [p]Berserker Mode – huge melee boost + lifesteal.[/p]
3. [p]Runic Beacon – place it down, and for 60s, enemies nearby drop extra gold + sap when killed.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][p]Weapon Animation Tweaks
We’re reworking shooting animations and FX so fights feel tighter, punchier, and just better overall. You’ll feel it.[/p][hr][/hr][p]Graphics & Performance Overhaul
New visual presets mean the game should run better on more machines. More stable FPS, less stutter, and clean visuals — regardless of setup.[/p][hr][/hr][p]What’s Next — Vilde 1.2
If 1.1 lands well, we’ll move straight into the next update:[/p][p]Elite Rooms
Optional, brutal mini-boss rooms with serious rewards. High risk, high payoff.[/p][p]New Arena Environments
New layouts, new vibes. Every arena should feel different — and memorable.[/p][hr][/hr][p]We’re building Vilde with you, and updates like this are how we show it.
Thanks for playing. Keep the feedback coming.[/p][p]— Team Vilde[/p]

[p]Hey everyone![/p][p]We've made some tweaks and added new runes to freshen up your tactics and offer new approaches to combat. We've also squashed a bunch of bugs—thanks to everyone who helped us track them down![/p][h3]New Runes: Time to Experiment[/h3][p]We’ve added 18 new runes. Here are some highlights:[/p]

• [p]Lightning’s Reach Lightning damage now arcs to nearby enemies, great for crowd control.[/p]
• [p]Berserker’s Momentum Damage increases as you focus on a single target—perfect if you don't like distractions.[/p]
• [p]Berserker’s Patience Standing still gradually boosts your damage. Ideal for patient warriors.[/p]
• [p]Cold Precision Increased crit chance against frozen targets.[/p]
• [p]Ice Burn Fire and ice combine to create explosive effects. Opposites attract, after all.[/p]
• [p]Ethereal Surge Dash now knocks back nearby enemies, helping you maintain personal space.[/p]
• [p]Coward’s Instinct Taking damage temporarily boosts your movement speed. Not heroic, but handy.[/p]

[p]And plenty more—full list below.[/p][h3]Other Improvements[/h3]
