Fleshweaver Pre-Testing! on Artix Entertainment

Hey there, heroes!

This week, the long-awaited Fleshweaver class is finally available for testing! Note: This release requires an engine update!

Fleshweaver is a flexible class with a variety of unique mechanics.

First off, you'll notice you begin each battle with 0 MP. Instead of spending MP, most skills spend HP, converting the spent HP into MP, along with 5% of your max MP.

Second, Fleshweaver always takes damage to MP before HP. As you use your skills, you'll build your barrier up to protect yourself!

Finally, for every 700 MP damage taken to your barrier, you'll generate a Protosoul, increasing your Crit by 5 each. You can carry up to 4 Protosouls at a time, and start battle with 1 already generated. Protosouls can be spent to empower your skills, increasing their effect durations and cooldowns (there are a couple exceptions!).

It's certainly a different playstyle from the other classes we have! If you are level 70+ and have a Dragon Amulet, you can check it out using the button in the Book of Lore!

Also this week, we have a new cosmetic weapon available for purchase!

The Alloyed KabutoArc can be clicked to change its appearance and energy color, and can be purchased for 450 Dragon Coins from the DC Cosmetics shop!

Now for Fleshweaver's skill and mechanics details!

As mentioned before, you'll start each battle with 0 MP. Fleshweaver's skills that cost HP will generate MP equal to the cost + 5% max MP. Damage taken by the mana barrier will generate a Protosoul every 700 MP lost. Damage dealt directly to MP does not count for this— only damage that would be dealt to HP but was blocked by MP counts.

If you attempt to use a skill with an HP cost, but don't have enough HP, you can still use it and generate MP, but you'll gain a stacking penalty each time (-10 All, -10 Avd/Def) that can not be purged. However, it will reset when it wears off after 3 turns (Of course, stacking it will also reset its duration, so be careful!).

Though you can hold up to 4 Protosouls at a time (and gain +5 Crit per Protosoul), the Protosoul generation counter will still count damage taken, so with good planning, you can set up an immediate Protosoul after spending one. But if you misplay, you may find yourself down a Protosoul for a while.
