The Braves News

We are delighted to announce our very own Steam event: the Raid Survivors Festival, where we celebrate a specific subgenre of roguelikes: the survivor-like! In these games, you survive an onslaught of thousands of enemies in various environments, level up your character in battle, put together unique builds from a variety of diverse abilities, and gradually turn your hero into a lean, mean killing machine.

Our very own The Braves falls squarely within this genre. It is a part of the Festival.



In honor of the Festival, will be included legendary Weekend for a longer time! And this means that it's time to replenish your arsenal with new items of equipment!

From September 18 to 24, 12:00 UTC at the locations of Bran Castle and Ridge, killing bosses, you can get Legendary items of equipment and weapons. This event covers all the difficulties of the Bran Castle and Ridge locations, including Hardcore mode. The chances of getting Legendary Equipment will increase depending on the difficulty you choose and from boss to boss. So, on the Ridge or in Bran Castle, on Abnormal Difficulty, you will have the highest chances to receive legendary rewards.

But that's not all! Also, for killing the last boss at any difficulty of the Hardcore mode, in the Ridge or Bran Castle location, you are guaranteed to receive a legendary weapon!

Brave ones!

Meet the new after-hours update that we're sure will delight everyone! What's in store for you, you ask? Read on and find out!

[h2]New building — The Academy[/h2]
For a long time this building stood abandoned, but thanks to the efforts of the Braves, the Academy found new teachers. Now anyone can rebuild the Academy and train their heroes in it.
Training is divided into three branches: Attack, Defense and Support. Any hero can learn skills in all three branches, but each of them has their own preferences in training. So attacking heroes will learn the strongest skills of the attack branch, and defense heroes will learn the strongest skills of the defense branch.
But the personal preferences of the heroes also play a role. Two attacking heroes can have different number of levels in the same skills, and all because one hero prefers the speed of projectiles, and the other strength of blows.
To train heroes in the Academy, you will need Runes and gold coins. Each branch of development needs its own runes. The level of the Academy determines how many skills you can learn each individual hero, as well as the maximum rarity of these skills.
Where can you find runes? It's very simple:

• they will now be sold like any other resource in the marketplace
  
• Look for them at points of interest in matches
  
• defeat bosses in matches and get them as a reward.
  
• rune sets in a jar - fast and convenient!
  

[h2]Weapons Portal Improvements[/h2]
We really want every prism spent by the Braves to bring joy. Therefore, we are happy to announce that from now on, you will not encounter items from the Popadanz set in all weapon portals. Also, the minimum rarity of items in weapon portals has been changed to Rare. Now no items of ordinary and unusual rarity! But that's not all, when you summon x10 you will be guaranteed to get an epic item!

[h2]Reinforcement of old heroes[/h2]
We continue a good tradition of revising the skills of old heroes to make the game with them more enjoyable for all Braves. This time, three heroes have new powers, and the most interesting thing is that all three of them are elves. Coincidence? Who knows? Meet the renewed Midnight Witch, Slippery Ice, and Dancing Flame.
