EARLY ACCESS 0.92.1 - New classes, relics and PVP Season

Hello everyone, New Eslabong patch is here. It adds three new classes, new relics, and a new Challenge Tower PvP season. We’ve also improved co-op for 2–4 players, whether you play locally or online through Steam Remote Play Together.

Thanks to your support, we’ve been able to grow the team. With this patch, we’ve made several UI improvements, including changes that make the Roster tab easier to navigate.

We’re also working on replays for Eslabong and exploring what its core gameplay could look like in a different setting.

Three new mercenary classes

Elementalist fires two shots of each element in rotation: fire, ice, then lightning. Hitting a marked enemy with a different element triggers a fireball rain, a frost nova or a lightning strike. Watch out for her legendary Elemental Glory, which fires Infernus, Ice Bomb and Ball Lightning in sequence.

Blood Harvester is a vampire that uses Bat Flight to set up a mark. With Blood Quarry equipped, direct scythe hits on his marked enemy restore health.

Countess is a low life assasin that relies on lifestealing claws, a lunging assault and several abilities to stay in melee range. 21 new relics The new relics give you more ways to build around healing, summons, traps, and parries, as well as more options for countering lifesteal and other combat effects. Some relics grant active abilities. Frodo and Harry’s Cloak lets you use Vanish, and Tripwire Reel lets you link two traps, for example.

Smarter rivals Rival teams now make better choices when upgrading their fighters’ stats. They used to invest too heavily in HP. Rival club managers also have more control over how they set their lineups. In the late game, And they’ll use Rebirth to improve their fighters now!
