Discussion: Expansion 29: Rune Preview 3

that eye looks amazing! all the runes look great and fun.

why can't i use riftwalker in ranked games?

 

It may just be me, but at first glance, Northern Cross Purger seems deceptively good for her price.

 

@Boozha you get an FS preview.

 

Definitely excited for these new abilities. I've been enjoying gift: X on what units have them. Really looking forward to the new Troll and Centaurs.

 

Maaaaaaan SP got to see the Hyaenid and the Arroyo, should be a Zombie Monstrosity preview for equality.

The eye looks cool though, nice counter to cheesy side font contesters.

 

What does warlord do?

 

I am personally interested to know what all these Sabotage abilities do, seems to be a few of them.

 

I have to say, art on this expansion is turning out really well.

So another batch of new abilities huh? Sigh.
I think @Sokolov has me on ignore because he didnt visit my thread, but I feel we should be cutting down on abilities, not adding new ones.
Let's nuke this whole thing and start from scratch! Cataclysm 2017 gogogogo

 

no attack on the purger?

 

Right, and no race on the Heyanid.

 

A new overpowered is rune, some replicate abuse, a new op st rune, another super cheap sp rune, and for k'thir another large unit in a terrible theme that's melee. Hopefully the warlord ability is incredible otherwise might wanna start from scratch on that one, I can't even figure out how to move 2x2 units around today's maps with all the rocks and random spots you can't walk through.

Awesome art again though, but poor balance per usual.

Can that st rune really get 16 damage from 6 range with protective lol and healing winds, plus arctic+ banner + sermon. Comical

Never seen such poor balancing in a game in my life.

 

ffs... I swear to god, I'm going to become a super villain, just so I can death ray you.

 

Is healing mind on the lonx different from healing wind?

 

What can I say, I am OP. Bear in mind though it can only attack twice from range before it needs to find a nora globe.

 

I get that. It's just her base stats seem high fora relatively low cost. I'll have to wait and she how she plays out before I make a final judgement.

 

There are very few new abilities this expansion. Most of the "new ones" are renamed old abilities and a few that are just reuses of old mechanics like Gift: X.

 

Cool Art and Sprites!
tho SL Art >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> others

My fav from this preview is the Hyaenid's art as 1st place, Salaman art as 2nd, and the Hyaenid's sprite 3d place

I was so sure the centaur was going to have "designate flagbearer" :0

Purger is a range+priest? huh so its like a Van Helsing kind of character
