Hey Hunters!

Today, we're thrilled to introduce the latest addition to the lineup of hunters – say hello to Panzer, our favorite little pyro-maniac.

Panzer is Jimmy’s little sister, and both of them were adopted by a group of anti-Ducan rebels. The siblings didn't take too long to demonstrate a spectacular aptitude for ruining the day for the Ducans! However, Panzer doesn’t have a strong desire to be part of the rebellion and relic hunting missions, but she can be swayed by some Chocolate Fudge Balls.

[h2]Skill Overview[/h2]



[h3]Panzer’s abilities include:[/h3]

●Can’t Catch Me –Panzer jumps into the air and bounces off an enemy’s head for greater battlefield mobility.
●Headbutt – Panzer headbutts right into the enemy, creating an impact area that damages and pushes other enemies. This skill can detonate other Hunters’ combos for maximum damage.
●Growl – Panzer unleashes a growl that stuns all enemies near her for 3 seconds.
●Bite – Panzer chomps an enemy 3 consecutive times for repeated damage.
●Fire Frenzy – Panzer enters her rage mode, dealing more weapon and skill damage at the cost of a lowered resistance. During this mode, all her skills release a Fire Shockwave every time they hit an enemy.
●Burn Burn Burn - Panzer grabs her trusty Flamethrower, causing a burning mayhem Ultimate. She gains +20% Movement Speed, +30% Bonus Fire Damage, and is immune to Freeze, Stun, and SIlence. Flamethrower deals constant 100 Fire Damage.
To unlock Panzer, make sure you update Relic Hunters Legend to the newest update - 0.9.0 and complete Panzer’s Friendship Adventure “Wildlife Show”!



Now is a great time for players to jump into the game’s Early Access and master all of the Hunters’ abilities. From March 14 through March 21, Relic Hunters Legend is 33% off.



[h2]Treasure Maps[/h2]

Also new to Patch 0.9.0 is the introduction to the Treasure Maps System. This is a new endgame feature that centers around the discovery and exploration of special items known as "Treasure Maps". These consumable items will unveil randomized mini-exploration missions within your Navigation System.
Adventures Await
Each mission Treasure Map is designed to offer unique challenges, making each Mission feel different from the others. These missions are home to incredibly important and rewarding Treasure Chests, powerful Champions, and abundant farming opportunities, promising an unparalleled adventure for players to immerse themselves in.
Unlock the Rewards


The Treasure Chests, featured in each Treasure Map, house coveted prizes such as Relic fragments and Legendary equipment. However, unlike other chests in Relic Hunters Legend, these Treasure Chests will require special keys for unlocking. These keys can be enhanced to increase the likelihood of acquiring superior loot, with higher-tier keys promising even greater rewards!

[h2]Introducing The Cartographers[/h2]


As part of the Treasure Map System, we’re pleased to unveil a new faction: The Cartographers! These astute allies play a pivotal role in guiding and supporting players throughout their treasure hunting journey. Make sure to check The Cartographers’ shop to embark on their quests, and check their goods for sale.
