The new combat bar
17 Oct · The dantian bar, the Thunder Saber, the Majin Fist, the Golden Dragon's scroll
A new combat bar and technique library, a greatsword art given by the storm, the Son of the Demon's art for players, and martial guides for sale.
- A new combat bar: five techniques each side of a round dantian that holds your weapon and fills with your Qi; cooldowns darken from the top with their seconds. The Techniques page lays your arts out as cards, the main style first, and shows your one active passive in a gold slot under the bar.
- A new art, the Purple Heaven Thunder Saber (greatsword, Qi Condensation): its passive Rolling Drums, Thunder Descends, Rolling Thunder, Heaven's Drum, Severing Flash, Nine Heavens' Wrath, the secret Heaven Answers, the ultimate Thunder Sovereign's Descent and the finisher The Last Thunderclap. Its manual comes from the storm: a thunderstorm, a lightning rod, a greatsword held up, from Qi Crystallization, once. The Purple Heaven Zhanmadao is in the creative tab.
- Players can now learn the Majin Fist (bare hands, Qi Liquidation): its passive Pride of the Sun, Sunfire Fist, Pride Flare, Cruel Sun, Noon Judgment, Midday Meteor, the secret Grand Noon, the ultimate The One and the finisher Noon Sentence. The Son of the Demon always drops its scroll, and is rebalanced for the middle game: 420 health, and never more than 35 % of your health in one blow.
- The Golden Dragon unrolls a scroll of wares: martial guides to nine arts, from 3 to 24 gold yuanbao, that show the way to each art's keeper, and the crossing talismans.
- A new biome in the centre, the Wulingyuan Stone Forest: thousands of sandstone pillars over misty gorges.
- The Blood Sect's Guardian of the Scarlet Threshold, a colossus with the Sanguine Art's moves and a boss bar (spawn egg only for now).
- Fixes: an art's fall (the Crescent's slam) no longer hurts you on a busy server; the Star-Plucking Peak's slopes no longer end in a straight cut.
Planned, not in the game yet: a Blood Sect desert camp and Murim plants.
