Devlog #53 - Bubble Bubble
Greetings Talented Gamers!
Do I have some big news for you! Talented is getting it's 6th and final class in our next update and there's a LOT to talk about!
Introducing The Alchemist!
Your goal as the Alchemist is to gather a variety of Ingredients that you can mix together using his unique Ability Crafting system to create the most powerful Abilities Talented has ever seen.
But... Beware... Potion Abilities have a limited number of uses and, unlike Archer, when you use all of your Charges the Ability is gone forever.
Couple that with his fairly lackluster basic attack and you've got a resource juggling challenge to contend with at the same time - this should shape up to being Talented's most challenging class yet.
Wait.. Ability Crafting?
That's right! You can combine up to 4 ingredients in any order to make one of over 250 combinations!
The first Ingredient determines the Style of the Ability. For example Cinderoot can be used to make Nova Abilities that clear a large area of the screen of enemies, whereas Mageleaf will fire out a low cooldown Bolt.
The second ingredient determines the Element of the Ability. Would you prefer a [Blaze Nova] or an [Ice Nova]? Adding Cinderoot or Bubblebloom into the mix will allow you to decide that!
The third and fourth ingredients add additional bonus effects onto the potion such as a chance for a second activation or applying a status effect to all enemies hit
Which combinations are the strongest? We'll leave that for you to discover!
But how do I get Ingredients?
Good question! You'll find two Common Talents on the Alchemist Talent Tree called [Forage] and [Cultivate]. Both will allow you to choose one of two ingredients to add to your stash.
Once you've got everything you need you can find an [Alchemy] Talent and get crafting! And of course there will be other ways to get more ingredients too. For example:
That about wraps it up for this week, there will be a lot more to share about the suit of Talents Alchemist will be receiving next devlog. (he'll be getting the full Core Talent and Base Talent treatment for 0.13). We'd love to hear your feedback on all of this over on our Discord. Until then...
Stay Talented
