Hey Jotunnslayers!





[h2]1. Meet the Njord - Seafarer Supreme and Lord of Wealth[/h2]



God of the High Seas, wealth, and (unsurprisingly) fishing has made an unexpected arrival in Jotunnslayer with the Weapon Update. Alongside an extra new weapon for each class, Njord brings a unique water-based skill set worth its weight in sea salt. Unleash amphibious assaults or call forth the monsters of the abyss - though some of them may be a bit... fishy.

With Njord, we’ve brought you even more riches from the sea and plunder from daring raids. His permanent passives directly enhance your gold acquisition, retention, and chest spawns - ensuring wealth flows as freely as the tides!

To have a detailed look from the crow’s nest:

One of the skills encapsulates you in a protective fishbowl




Another calls in a long lost drakkar that may, or may not contain its forgotten crew




And last, as we have mentioned sea monsters - a monstrous fish - a leviathan even




From the full fathom five, the Sealord will step ashore!
