Devblog – Classes in Temporis VI 2021-09-02 15:15

For the sixth Temporis, we wanted to offer something new with never-before-seen mechanics to discover. This is the cornerstone of the Scrollsayer experience, especially when the servers first open. That said, certain classes were well liked and worked well in Temporis IV, so those were kept. Below is a profile of each class with their spells and a class passive if it has one:

 

Feca

• Fecas have gone in a completely different direction with two active spells. One recenters the glyph in Feca gameplay, and the other provides a much more prominent defensive ability.
• No class passive
   

• Glyph:
  • Places a start-of-turn glyph that inflicts damage on enemies in the caster's last attack element, or Neutral if necessary. The caster gains a shield if they trigger the glyph.
  • Casting conditions: 2 AP, 0-5 Range without line of sight; cooldown period: 2 turns
  • Levels and damage:
    • Level 1: 11 to 13

    • Level 180: 650 Shield, 1-8 Range

 

Osamodas

• Osamodas have been fully updated to work better in a team and with common summons.
• No class passive
   

• Sit… Stay!:
  • The caster increases the Vitality of an allied scrollmagic summon and passes on 50% of their Power (100% if it is their own summon). If the summon dies during the bewitchment (2 turns), the caster gains 2 AP.
  • Casting conditions: 2 AP; cooldown period: 2 turns
  • Levels and Range:
    • Level 1: 1-3 Range
    • Level 50: 1-4 Range
    • Level 100: 1-5 Range

    • Level 60: 1-6 Range
    • Level 120: 1-7 Range
       

• Sacrificial Fire:
  • The targeted scrollmagic summon distributes half of its HP to its summoner, and the rest to the caster. It dies.
  • Casting conditions: 4 AP, 1-5 Range; cooldown period: 5 turns; initial cooldown: 3 turns; global cooldown
  • Level: 1

 

Enutrof

• The class remains very similar to the previous edition. The passive is faster, and a powerful new spell has been added.
   

• Stingy (class passive):
  • Enutrofs gain 2 combat kama every turn (10 max.). They can spend them wisely to hinder their enemies. The kama gain increases to 4 per turn when below 50% HP.
     

• Tax:
  • Removes 2 MP from the target (1 turn; cannot be parried).
  • Casting conditions: 1 AP and 3 kamas; 1 time per turn

    • Level 50: 1-8 Range
    • Level 120: 1-10 Range

Sram

• Sram doubles are now much better allies, and the class is much less restrictive to play.
• No class passive
   

• Double:

  • Summons a controllable double that has the same characteristics as the summoner. It does not attack, and dies after 3 turns, switching places with its caster. Allies that attack the double are healed by 50% of the damage inflicted.

  • Casting conditions: 3 AP; 1-3 Range; cooldown period: 3 turns (the double dies)
  • Level: 1
     

• Infinitisibility:

  • Aligns the caster's and the targeted ally's chakras. For 2 turns, the caster becomes invisible and the target reduces damage received by 50%. In exchange, the target inflicts 50% of damage done to them on the caster. If one of the two dies, if the caster casts the spell again, or if they become the target of this spell themself, the effect is dissipated.
    This special invisibility is not lost when the caster inflicts damage; remember, however, as wise Srams already know, the position of an invisible entity is revealed to the opposing team every time the entity casts a spell or uses a weapon.

  • Casting conditions: 2 AP; 1-5 Range / 0 Range; 4-turn cooldown
  • Level: 1

 

Xelor

• A mechanic that's still very simple and effective, but without the random aspect.

  • Eniripsas regain up to 21% of their HP at the start of each turn.
    • 7% without any conditions.
    • 7% if they have suffered enemy damage since their last turn.
    • 7% if they have less than 50% of their HP.

• Echo of Youth:
  • The caster heals the target by the same percentage of HP as healed by Fountain of Youth at the start of the turn. The healing actually received by the caster does not influence the effect of this spell.

  • Levels and Range:
    • Level 1: 0-4 Range
    • Level 65: 0-6 Range

Performing a combination grants the Exalted state for the current turn and 9-25 Power (based on level) for the rest of the fight. The Neutral element doesn't count.
