HexWind Update #20
Hey VR die-hards. Update 20 is out now, and continuing our current focus on fleshing out combat mechanics we’ve revamped the Dash ability. Let’s dive in.
[h2]New and Improved Dash[/h2]
Updating and improving basic combat moves is our current focus and Dash is the first ability to get some love with significant changes this week. We wanted Dash to be more focused and tactical within combat versus the dodge-ish move it has acted like until now. We also wanted to make it a core combat move instead of unlocked only when you’ve chosen that card. So, Dash is now always available in combat regardless of your loadout, costing mana to use.
Dash is also now a targeted ability - you will see a round target indicator pop up on an enemy within range. To Dash, hold up your hand and punch toward that enemy - you’ll dash toward them and land a hit which will one-shot kill a basic enemy and damage stronger enemies. If you’ve played Arkham Shadow, you’ll get the general idea. Our team is enjoying the new Dash a ton, we hope you will too!
[h2]Daily Run Leaderboards[/h2]
Now that Daily Run mode is in place, you can browse through past leaderboards to see the winners. Check it out in the back of the Mausoleum behind the Sarcophagus, and go find your name there!
