The Dreamers Foresight News

[p]Forest Fortress have 2 types of enemies[/p][p]Dreamers Enemies (This Devlog)[/p][p]Fortress Defence (Next Devlog)[/p][p][/p][p]The Pikeman[/p][p][/p][p]meet the speedster, this enemy have 2 attack pattern:[/p]

• [p]if he has same ground level as you he will charge toward you very fast dealing knockback each time he hits you, once you get hit you get knocked back forward making it easy to take next hit from him.[/p]
• [p]if he is above or below your level he will attempt to throw the spear, its not hard to dodge that as its 1 projectile but its fast one. [/p]

[p]The Archer[/p][p][/p][p]Next he have the archer, only 1 attack pattern but it's tricky:[/p]

• [p]he places number of arrows in the bow from 1 to 4, then he shoots arrow in a fixed pattern based on arrows in the bow, so as long as you focus on how many arrows are in his bow you can dodge the attack.[/p]

[p]The Shield Holder[/p][p] [/p][p]lastly we have the first enemy that blocks attacks, here is how it works:[/p]

• [p]when not in attack mode he will place his shield on his back making a stealth hit very hard[/p]
• [p]when in attack mode he holds the shield forward making front attacks useless[/p]
• [p]when he gets close he stops and attacks with the dagger, if you timed you attack correctly you can damage him now, also attacks from the top can damage him making extra jumps in mid air more useful[/p]
• [p]Shielded attacks does 0 damage to him[/p]

[p][/p][p]Those are 3 enemies with 2-3 more still in work, so forest fortress will have largest number of enemies in its biome. [/p][p][/p][p]Join & share you ideas here: Discord

[p]This will be a short one.[/p][p][/p][p]The Key[/p][p]Oh boy, the entire temple system had to be rewritten, it contained way too much bugs and the system needed to expand to deal with ACE cards and keys, so an update is required to the beta to fix those issues.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]some of fortress doors will be locked, when approaching it, it will require a key to unlock. keys can only be found in tiles that have fortress in it.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Cards may spawn with Key modifiers, making the card unlock the door but it will always have a condition.[/p][p][/p][p] [/p][p]Collecting Keys will synergize with some builds, this card in the photo will have +10% attack damage for every key card in your deck also counting cards that have key modifiers, making this modifier the most powerful "per modifier".[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Key modifier comes in many shapes, like some cards will be consumed after being used a key, and some cards will only consume ammo, carrying ammo cards will act as keys here.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Some modifiers will triggered if you used a key on a locked door.[/p][p][/p][p]Join & share you ideas here: Discord
