Star Break, at least! Anyway, say hello to the new enemy race - Orcs. Good old greenskins that every fantasy lover knows well, this worlds orcs are known for their frenzy. Like zombie samurais in latter stages of Eastern Story maps, when they lose half of their HP, their stats raise and they start to run. Melee orcs get increase in attack power, defense, attack speed and move speed, making them formidable threat to block, especially if they happen to be of darker variety - so called High orcs. Ranged ones only get attack speed boost and sprinting. Warlocks under half HP gain attack speed, sprint, and ability to target everybody in range. True to the Horde, orcs tend to appear in numbers, so take care to not be overwhelmed if they suddenly start running to your base en masse. Thankfully, orcs are weak to magic, so prepare accordingly.
There also a new recurring boss - the wannabe inheritor to the mantle of Dark Knight Kommander, Dark Knight Decius. Thankfully, she doesn't know the dreaded Dark Aura debuff, but in exchange he got ranged attack. Nothing too threatening yet, but be prepared to see more of his shenanigans in the future
And last but not least, ahoy Emilia-tan!
Ricola vs Rita:
As you know (you should, I mean I mentioned it in Ricola's introduction), Ricola and Rita share skill Seclusion, making them untargetable to enemies for its duration. So they have similar niche in that regard. So how thay stack against each other?
Their attack is matched at CC levels. Rita has class-specific anti-air attack buff and a bit of a range advantage (but Ricola gains same range after Awakening). Ricola brings Ranger's class-iconic traps to stall and damage some big mean foe. Rita's Awakening gives her chance to fire two arrows, while Ricola's changes target priorities. So far, they matched pretty evenly. That truly sets them apart is Skill Awakening. Both has new skills improve stealth in some ways. Rita extends its duration to 120 seconds AND gain slight attack multiplier, while Ricola's only lasts 65 AND brings her attack down to 0.9x. But Ricola's have initial wait timer of only 7.5s (nearly the Black-tier
) AND downtime of mere 15 seconds, compared to Rita's 40 seconds initial and 80 seconds cooldown.
So, Rita's stealth needs time to set up, and Ricola can be dropped in only little ahead of enemy arrival and be ready to go into hiding practically on demand. And overall, Rita is anti-air, and Ricola is anti-ground (with her traps).
