EpicDuel PVP Game Design Notes

November 17, 2015

Even though it's still 90 degrees at the lab, this Friday we will be returning all of our Winter content to EpicDuel. Visit Edgar Booth and Torgan and The Endless in Frysteland to get Winter gear from years past, including last year's Frozen Fury Gear (now available for credits).

For those who need a refresher on what cores will be available, here's a quick refresher:

Primary Cores

• Yeti Fury (Equipped to Frozen Fury Destroyer and Scythe)
  • Mutate into a Yeti Hulk to deal 105% damage with 40% lifesteal. Usable below 25% health.

Bot Cores

• Ice Shield (Cyber Yeti)
  • Grants 100% Block and Deflect chance for 2 turns

Auxiliar Cores

• Hair Trigger (Equipped to Frozen Fury Annihilator)
  • Do a mini-Rage equal to the percent of Rage you currently have available.

Sidearm Core

• Icy Overkill (Equipped to Frozen Fury Blaster)
  • Overload your gun, ignoring 35% of target’s defenses. This renders your gun unusable for the remainder of battle.

Armor Cores

• Absorption (Equipped to Blood Hawk Armor)
  • When attacked by a bot, increase your energy by 50% of damage taken.

• Spirit Thorns (Equipped to Blood Hawk Armor)
  • Lower attacker’s energy by 50% of damage player melee damage dealt. Lasts 4 turns.

Miscellaneous Cores (not included in Megapacks)

• Whiteout (Available for sale on Vendbots and Torgan in Frysteland)
  • Summon a blizzard to disorient your enemies, covering their skills in ice and snow. Deals 110% damage

More Classics Return!

Spaceships, baby yetis, and polar bear mutations will also return to get you in the seasonal spirit (at least if you live in the Northern Hemisphere)!

All of these items are just a prelude to the return of Winter gift-giving!
