RECAP - June 3, 2020 (Arvan OR Solgar)

** SteelSpine’s RECAP for JUNE 3, 2020 **

XXXXX

There was no LiveStream again this week due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.  Our last LiveStream - and last Q&A session - with the Devs was on February 27th.

EVENT DETAILS:

This week’s Event will be called STORMY SHORES.  It will begin on THURSDAY, JUNE 4 and run until MONDAY, JUNE 8.


Titan Details:

This week’s Event features the return of ARVAN and SOLGAR.  Both are Lightning Berserkers, and both have been fully reskilled for this Event.  Players will be able to choose either Arvan OR Solgar from the Divine Altars, using a special Token that is available in this Event.

(NOTE from SteelSpine: Both ARVAN and SOLGAR have a new Skill that we have not seen before (to my knowledge), which grants +180% “Titan and Troop All Elemental Damage” rather than the usual +Troop Damage.  “Troop Damage” is calculated differently from “Elemental Damage” - it is added to your “Base Damage” BEFORE Relics are factored in, resulting in higher Damage numbers after Relics are factored in.  Which is why, I suppose, the Devs made this Skill “+Troop All Elemental Damage” instead of “+Troop Damage”; it will likely cause the +180% Damage to be added to any Troop, without giving the extra damage increase usually associated with +Troop Damage Skills).

ARVAN’s new SKILLS:
Slot 1:  +180% Titan, Troop All Elemental Damage.  +100% Titan, Troop Armor.
Slot 2:  +88% Goliath Armor.  +22% Storm Maiden Critical.
Slot 3:  +180% Storm Maiden Damage.  +90% Goliath Lightning & Ice Resist.
Slot 4:  +117% Goliath Health.  +88% Storm Maiden Armor Piercing.
Slot 5:  +44% Goliath Melee & Ranged Resist.  +180% Titan, Troop Lightning Damage.

ARVAN is one of the Titans you can choose when you redeem this week’s special “Choose Your Titan” Token at the Divine Altar.  This unique “Arvan or Solgar” Token will be available for 16k Souls.


SOLGAR’s new SKILLS:
Slot 1:  +180% Titan, Troop All Elemental Damage.  +100% Titan, Troop Armor Piercing.
Slot 2:  +300% Panther Damage.  +22% Storm Maiden Critical.
Slot 3:  180% Storm Maiden Damage.  +88% Panther Armor Piercing.
Slot 4:  +117% Panther Health.  +88% Storm Maiden Armor Piercing.
Slot 5:  +88% Panther Armor.  +180% Titan, Troop Lightning Damage.

SOLGAR is one of the Titans you can choose when you redeem this week’s special “Choose Your Titan” Token at the Divine Altar.  This unique “Arvan or Solgar” Token will be available for 16k Souls.

VERSION 1.38 INFO:

The Devs released a little teaser on their Official Blog today regarding DoT’s upcoming update (Version 1.38).  Apparently there will be a NEW FEATURE called “TITAN PRESTIGE”, which will allow you to “enhance your Titans’ power and abilities”.  (NOTE from SteelSpine:  No further information was given regarding this new feature, but it sounds like this was the “big change” that the Devs were teasing during LiveStreams earlier this year when they told players that they “might want to hold on to some of their older Titans”).


The following message regarding v1.38 was included in this week’s Official Blog Post:

“The Dawn of Titans team are excited to bring you one of our biggest updates yet – the Age of Prestige is almost here, so get ready to ENHANCE your Titans’ power and abilities!

Over the next few weeks, we will begin rolling out our 1.38 version to an increasing number of players as we check the stability of the game and this new feature. Rest assured, we will be working hard to ensure it launches for everyone as soon as it can.

Keep checking our blog, and look out for in-game messaging over the coming weeks for more information on TITAN PRESTIGE!”

NEXT THREE WEEKS:

MONDAY, 8 JUNE until TUESDAY, 9 JUNE:  A CONSTRUCTION FRENZY Event (discount on building upgrades).

**

MONDAY, 8 JUNE until WEDNESDAY, 10 JUNE:  A SOLO / INDIVIDUAL LEADERBOARD Event called “Amplitude” will take place, focusing on Lightning Relics.  4* Paladin Titans will provide a 1.2x Boost, while 3* Paladins provide 1.1x.  Ranking Rewards will include varying amounts of Divine Gems for the Top 2000 Players, and regular Gems for Rank 2001-1000000.  Relics available in this Event include 4* Serrated Edge, 4* Storm Rune, 4* Banner of the Storm, 4* Storm Charms and one new Relic:  4* STORM KYMBALA, which will be available for 15k Gems.

4* STORM KYMBALA
+50% Titan & Troop Lightning Damage
+24% All Troop Armor Piercing
+20% Titan & Troop Critical

**

THURSDAY, 11 JUNE:  An ALLIANCE LEADERBOARD Event called “Divine Youkai” begins.  It will feature ONI, the Physical Paladin.  ONI has the ability to summon two Omega Militia, two Omega Archers and two Omega Spearmen to the battlefield, and was previously only available as a possible reward from the 10k and 12k Divine Gem Altars.


MONDAY, 15 JUNE:  A KINGDOM RUSH Event (discount on Neutral Land refreshes).

MONDAY, 15 JUNE until THURSDAY, 18 JUNE:  A TEMPLE Event called “Altar of Everything” will take place.  No further details given.

THURSDAY, 18 JUNE:  Another ALLIANCE LEADERBOARD Event begins.  This one will be called “Kami of the Divine Wind”.  No other details were given - but we can probably assume that KAMI will be a Ranger Titan (based on the following Monday’s Ranger-themed Titan Fusion Event), in addition to possibly being a new Invoker Titan (but that’s just speculation on my part).


MONDAY, 22 JUNE:  A TITANS UNLEASHED Event (also known as a TITAN FUSION EVENT).  This one will feature Rangers in the Temple, but as always ALL same-class to same-class Fusion will result in the same XP bonus.

If I made any mistakes or left out anything important, please let me know and I will issue a correction in next week’s Recap (and give you a shoutout for the help).  

The easiest way to contact me is by finding me in the game.  You can reach me in-game under the name SteelSpine (I am the Level 45 one, as of June).  Feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments or suggestions!  (NOTE:  I haven’t been playing much lately, so it may take me a while to reply.  Sorry in advance!)


YOU CAN FIND FUTURE (and PAST) EDITIONS OF MY RECAPS ON MY BLOG at  steelspinesdot.blogspot.com   Copy and share them with whoever you think would like to read them - but please remember to give credit.


On a personal note:  I stand 1000% with those who are protesting police violence, authoritarianism and fascism here in the United States of America.  My wife has been fighting the good fight for almost twenty years, first as a journalist, then as a union Shop Steward, and most recently as a labor union Collective Bargaining Director (contract negotiator).  We have been to countless marches, protests, job actions and rallies over the years - and we will continue to do so.  There has to be an end to the economic and social oppression of minorities - and of the middle class in general - in our country if we are ever to become truly “great”.

Black Lives Matter.
