Arclight Rumble: in arrivo le Burrasche Arclight!

In un raro aggiornamento da parte del team di Arclight Rumble, il nuovo titolo mobile di Warcraft attualmente in sviluppo, ci vengono presentate le ultime novità pensate per il gioco.

Questa volta a farla da padrone sono le Burrasche Arclight, ovvero una riproposizione con diversa difficoltà e modificatori delle Zone già affrontate durante la settimana.

Per due volte a settimana – giovedì e domenica – queste Burrasche coinvolgeranno due Zone della mappa, ognuna con delle regole particolari:

• Una delle Zone avrà un modificatore globale attivo, da effetti sui Mini a regole modificate per Oro e Torri di Difesa.
• L’altra metterà a disposizione del giocatore un’Armata speciale composta da due famiglie (Flagello, Orda, etc) di Mini, con due Leader, per completare la sfida.

Queste “Zone del Terrore” di Arclight Rumble avranno delle Missioni Burrasca associate che garantiranno 40 Monete l’una e una quantità discreta di punti esperienza.

Potete ritrovare l’intero blog post dedicato alle Burrasche Arclight qui sotto, insieme alle ultime note della patch. Al momento, vi ricordiamo che Arclight Rumble è in closed beta, con una finestra di lancio prevista per la fine di quest’anno o l’inizio del prossimo.

È il momento della Burrasca Arclight! Due volte alla settimana, due zone già sconfitte diventeranno burrascose per l’energia Arclight e ci saranno nuove sfide da superare! L’aggiornamento 0.9.3 comprende anche diverse modifiche alla progressione e costanti miglioramenti al bilanciamento dei Mini.

Burrasca Arclight

Sei pronto per affrontare la Burrasca? Due volte a settimana, potrai tornare in due zone che hai già sconfitto in precedenza per ottenere qualche ricompensa aggiuntiva. Una Burrasca Arclight dura 3 giorni, a partire rispettivamente da domenica e da giovedì.

Ogni burrasca altera due zone: una con un modificatore sulla mappa, l’altra sostituendo la tua armata con una combinazione di due Famiglie con Mini di entrambe queste Famiglie. In questo modo, l’armata del giocatore potrà infrangere le regole convenzionali. Per cominciare, ogni armata ha 2 Capi! Man mano che il giocatore progredisce, le armate crescono, fino a contenere ogni Truppa di quelle due Famiglie!

E i luccicosi?

La Burrasca Arclight sarà il metodo principale per ottenere Monete aggiuntive in Arclight Rumble.

Ogni vittoria in una Missione della Burrasca Arclight ricompensa con 40 Monete, quantità modificata dal Potenziamento Arclight. Riceverai anche l’esperienza di fine partita per l’armata che hai attualmente equipaggiato.

Ricorda: quando c’è una Burrasca in una zona, la modalità Conquista lì non sarà disponibile. Tornerà disponibile quando la Burrasca sarà finita, perché completata o perché è il giorno dell’azzeramento, e nuove zone entreranno nella rotazione per la Burrasca successiva.

Tipologie di armate preimpostate

Ogni Burrasca comprenderà un’armata che è la combinazione di 2 Famiglie che dovrai usare per sconfiggere tutte e 5 le Mappe di quella zona. Queste armate hanno un Capo di ciascuna famiglia, e man mano che progredirai con le partite, alla fine l’armata comprenderà tutti i Mini di quelle due Famiglie. Ossia un’armata con più di 20 Mini! Poiché Arclight Rumble ha a disposizione 5 Famiglie di Mini, si possono creare fino a 10 nuove armate combinate, che ti permetteranno di giocare con Mini che non hai ancora collezionato.

Modificatori delle Mappe

Dovrai stare all’erta, sempre pronto ad adattare rapidamente la tua strategia per tenere conto dei vari Modificatori all’interno della Mappa. Ecco cosa aspettarti:

• Sport Mortale: tutti i Mini ottengono Brama di Sangue.
• Ding!: i Mini salgono di livello ogni volta che vengono giocati.
• Tesoro dei Draghi: l’Oro nelle Miniere e nei Forzieri riappare molto rapidamente.
• Armamenti Dorati: i Coboldi salgono di 10 livelli quando estraggono l’Oro. I Mini salgono di 5 livelli quando aprono un Forziere.
• Cannoni di Vetro: tutti i Mini infliggono danni doppi e hanno metà salute.
• Velocizzato: introito passivo in Oro aumentato al 300%.
• Ora dei Genieri: due Genieri compaiono in ogni base ogni 15 secondi.
• Torri del Potere: Torri e Pietre del Ritrovo sono potenziate!

October 17, 2022

It’s time for Arclight Surge! Twice a week, two previously defeated Zones will overload with Arclight energy and create new challenges for you to overcome. Update 0.9.3 also comes with many accompanying changes to progression along with continued Mini tuning adjustments.

Arclight Surge

Some Surges will create a new map-wide change like triple income or powered up towers. Others change the army you must use to win! Ever wanted to know what it’s like to have an army with every Horde and Beast Troop? Ready or not, give it a shot! Arclight Surge will be the primary way players have of earning extra Coins in Arclight Rumble.

• Two Zones will surge twice per week. Each surge lasts 3 days, starting on Sunday and Thursday.
• Each surge Mission will award 40 coins when defeated and is affected by the Coin bonus from the Arclight Booster.
• Each surge will alter two Zones, one with a map-wide Surge modifier, the other will replace your army with a premade army.
• End of game XP will be awarded to the army you currently have equipped.

Features and Systems

• Player Level will now increase per 20 Mini levels, instead of per 25 levels.
• Common Quests will cycle after 30 mins, from 60.

Arclight Booster

  • Coins earned from Arclight Surge do not bank bonus coins.
  • Developer Note: Unfortunately, we could not find a clean solution to retroactively apply this exact logic to existing players. As a one-time grant, regardless of time of purchase, anyone who has previously purchased an Arclight Booster will receive 1000 Coins.
