Greetings, Gatekeepers!
[p]We’re kicking off a brand new devblog series about the upcoming update for Gatekeeper, titled “The Nowhere Throne” — aka version 1.0.[/p][p]There’s a lot to talk about (and we do mean a lot), but as tradition demands, we’re starting with what matters most — the new Gatekeeper.[/p][p][/p]Aegis
[p]Aegis commanded the Order of the Delta Guardians — a force that covered the retreat of allied troops. On the day the Void Empire broke through the defenses, Lord Crustad cast him into a crystal well — the heart of an arcana mine.[/p][p]Arcana did not let the body disappear. Shards grew through his armor, preserved the flesh, and dragged his mind into the Nowhere. There, the Creators offered him a place among the Gatekeepers. He accepted.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/42755050/41566e80d0e290dc109cce62bf766069b0473449.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p]Abilities
Splinter
[p]Fires a crystal shard from one hand that pierces up to 3 enemies.[/p]- [p]Evo 1: Each enemy pierced increases the shard's damage.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 2: The shard explodes on destruction, dealing AoE damage.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 3: Two extra shards spawn at the first hit location.[/p][/*]
Deploy Glyphon
[p]Places a stationary Glyphon at a targeted location. Only one can be active at a time — placing a new one replaces the old.[/p]- [p]Evo 1: Max active Glyphons +1[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 2: Max active Glyphons +1[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 3: Glyphons gain access to Aegis’s artifacts.[/p][/*]
Spectra
[p]Leaves behind a Spectra and enters a phase state. The state ends if you take any action other than movement, or when the timer runs out. The Spectra vanishes once Aegis reappears.[/p]- [p]Evo 1: Creates a pulling pulse at the activation point.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 2: Explodes when the Spectra is destroyed.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 3: Creates a weakening cloud on death.[/p][/*]
Ascension
[p]Activates Ascension for Aegis and all active Glyphons.[/p][p]While Ascended, Aegis fires from both hands with enhanced Splinters. Consumes all available charges — increasing fire rate and shard size, but slowing Aegis down.[/p]- [p]Evo 1: Kills replenish the Ascension meter.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 2: Shards pierce unlimited enemies.[/p][/*]
- [p]Evo 3: Each hand fires two shards at once.[/p][/*]
