There was no LiveStream again this week due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.  Our last LiveStream from the Devs was on February 27th.

The Players still have NO mechanism for asking questions or for having their questions answered.  We need a weekly Q&A, Devs.

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event will begin on THURSDAY, APRIL 9 and run until MONDAY, APRIL 13.

Titan Details:

This week’s Event features the debut of LITHOTAUR, the Earth Infiltrator.  Like the other “Taur Titans” before him, LITHOTAUR Summons his Element’s Omega Troops (in this case, Omega Goliaths).  According to the Devs, LITHOTAUR will be the last of the -Taurs; there will be no Militia Minotaur or Archer Minotaur.

LITHOTAUR’s SKILLS:

Slot 1:  +1 Summon Omega Goliaths Spell, 100% Titan and Troop Armor, +100% Titan and Troop Armor Piercing

Slot 2:  +90% Titan Earth Damage

Slot 3:  +2 Summon Omega Goliaths Spells, +88% Goliaths Armor

Slot 4:  +180% Titan Earth Damage

Slot 5:  +2 Summon Omega Goliaths Spells, +117% Goliaths Health

*NOTE:  The Official DoT Blog says that Lithotaur will get Tier III Titan Damage in Slot 2 and Tier X Titan Damage in Slot 4.  Every other -Taur Titan has a random Tier III Titan Offensive Skill (+90% Damage, +44% Armor Piercing or +44% Critical) in Slot 2 and a random Titan Offensive X Skill (either +88% Titan Armor Piercing or +180% Titan Damage) in Slot 4 — so don’t be surprised if his Slot 2 and Slot 4 Skills are random.

LITHOTAUR will be available for 18k Souls.

(Note from SteelSpine:  Sorry about misleading you in last week’s Recap, all.  About 30 minutes after I posted the Recap last week, a Player named George Kavvas pointed out that “Lithos” is Greek for “Stone”, and therefore Lithotaur would *obviously* be a Goliath -Taur.  I immediately corrected the version on my Blog, but some erroneous copies were still floating around on Line.  Sorry again!).

“RAID BOSS EVENT” FEEDBACK:  The Devs are asking for feedback regarding this week’s Raid Boss Beta Event.  Please take a moment today to share your thoughts and suggestions with them at https://www.facebook.com/dawnoftitansofficial/photos/a.813546402092504/2884107125036411/?type=1&theater .  (While you’re there, it wouldn’t hurt to tell them we need a weekly Questions and Answers post with the Devs on Facebook, Line, Discord or Reddit!).

NEW DIVINE TITANS:

The Divine Altars will be updated sometime next week.  Two new (and VERY strong) Titans will be added:  NECROSA and LIFESPARK.  NECROSA has formidable Skills for Defense, while LIFESPARK is an Offensive powerhouse.

NECROSA’s SKILLS:

Slot 1 (INVOKE - IRONFUR):  +60% Panther Void, Lightning Resist.  +180% Titan Health.  At the start of every battle and every 20 seconds, +30% Panthers Armor.

Slot 2:  +176% Horde Armor.  +88% Panthers Armor.  (Both Effects are DOUBLED on Defense).

Slot 3 (INVOKE - VOID RUNE):  +60% Horde Void, Lightning Resist.  +88% Titan Armor.  10 seconds after battle starts and every 20 seconds after, +30% Horde Armor.

Slot 4:  +234% Horde Health.  +117% Panthers Health.  (Both Effects are DOUBLED on Defense).

Slot 5 (INVOKE - VOIDBLOOM):  +40% Troop Melee, Ranged Resist.  Every third Invoke either Summons an Omega Panther or an Omega Horde.

LIFESPARK’s SKILLS:

Slot 1 (INVOKE - STEELFANG):  +40% Panther Melee, Ranged Resist.  +180% Titan Damage.  At the start of each battle and every 20 seconds, +30% Panthers Armor Piercing.

Slot 2:  +180% Storm Maiden Damage.  +300% Panther Damage.  (Both Effects are DOUBLED on attack).

Slot 3 (INVOKE - STORM RUNE):  +44% Storm Maiden, Panther Critical.  +60% Panther Void Resist.  10 seconds after battle starts and every 20 seconds after, +30% Storm Maiden Armor Piercing.

Slot 4:  +88% Storm Maiden Armor Piercing.  +150% Panther Armor Piercing.  (Both Effects are DOUBLED on attack).

Slot 5 (INVOKE - VOIDBLOOM):  +60% Panther Poison Resist.  +150% Troop Damage, Armor Piercing.  Every third Invoke either Summons an Omega Panther or an Omega Storm Maiden.

(NOTE:  This doesn’t really matter that much, but I *think* Lifespark’s fifth Skill is incorrectly named on the Official DoT Blog.  The Skills are probably correct, but the name must be something different.  Necrosa also has an Invoke Skill named “Voidbloom”, but it makes sense since it deals with Horde (Void) and Panthers (Bloom).  Lifespark’s fifth Skill is probably called “INVOKE - STORMBLOOM” or something like that).

NEXT THREE WEEKS:

13-20 APRIL:  SPELLCRAFT Event (discount on Spells and Spell Upgrades).

TUESDAY, 14 APRIL to THURSDAY, 16 APRIL:  A Solo (Individual) Leaderboard Event called “Instruments of War”.  No further information was given.

THURSDAY, 16 APRIL to MONDAY, 20 APRIL:  Another Alliance Leaderboard Event begins.  This one is called “PRIMORDIAL GOD OF THE SKY”.  (NOTE:  This Event will almost certainly be the premiere of the next Aztec “Invoke” God - but that’s purely speculation on my part).

—

20-27 APRIL:  PORTAL SURGE Event (discount on purchasing Portal Stones).

MONDAY, 20 APRIL to TUESDAY, 21 APRIL:  Another TITANS UNLEASHED Event begins (also known as a TITAN FUSION Event).  This one will feature Berserkers in the Temple - but remember, during Titans Unleashed ALL TITANS get the same XP Bonus from Same-Class-to-Same-Class Fusion.

MONDAY, 20 APRIL to THURSDAY, 23 APRIL:  An early week CONQUEST Event, featuring the return of ARTEMIS.  (ARTEMIS is a Poison Ranger.  She was the second Omega Summoner to be released overall, and was the first Titan to Summon Omega Panthers).

THURSDAY, 23 APRIL:  Another Alliance Leaderboard Event begins.  This one is called “KRONOS”, and (presumably) will feature his return.

—

27 APRIL to 4 MAY:  TROOPCRAFT Event (discount on Troops and Troop Upgrades).
