Cutting through your armor, Piercer arrives in VERSION 0.3c!



> VERSION 0.3c has arrived!

> Introduction:

The cosmic void is enveloped by spiritual essence

of the unknown. Tilted within the holes of the

galaxies. The Piercer manifests through them,

brings them down to his conjured mechanical

pincers, and sends them to claw you through your

armor... and your soul.

The 37th Guardian is here... and you're not going

to like standing in the opposing zone against him.

> Change Logs:

- Lots of bug fixes mostly on Player 2 not working

properly with recent major changes among the

Guardians like Exalter's blade teleporting, UI

placement of Tracker's Skill 1 buff, Technician's

wall shock not stunning on 2nd cast, and more.

General gameplay bug fixes are also patched.

- Game optimization yet again. Control mapping

movement, timing of abilities and Powershots, 

they are all improved. Numbers are also rescaled

for more balanced yet satisfying combat warfare.

- UI changes, lots and lots of UI changes. You will

notice them when you get into the game. Also,

the Core Glyph icon can now be seen even when

the game is not Paused. Right above the time UI.

- Balancing centralized more in combat like Fury

and Tenacity initial and scaling points increased,

Glyph effects are improved, blessings of bonus hp

coming from Special Attack being set now also

provides Energy, and many more, including

respective buffs and nerfs for most of the

Guardians that are meta and not alike.

- NEW MECHANIC ADDED: Guardian SCALER!

> GEARING UP!

CG's current gameplay is everything I loved already.

Scaling core pick ups per level. Items and Chip

alternating to either provide boost and resources

or improving your non-primary stats. Rage now

adjusts faster. Special Attack being available every

20 seconds with provided hp and Energy. Fury and

Tenacity being more effective. All work very well

and I love it.

Which is why it's time to add something to the mix,

one that is a bit different but also doesn't change

anything too big but only improves what's already 

in there.

The Scaler mechanic basically empowers your

Guardian in a vague form which is applied

every minute as long as you have the required

conditions.

Every minute, if you already have an active Core

Glyph. In other words, you already picked up a

Core, you get a portion of health back and also

generate Energy. But these are improve depending

on your Rage points. Positive Rage adds more

Energy, Negative Rage gives back more HP! Not

just that, there are three instances of Gearing up.

First minute adds 3 to all stats and improves the

Scaler. On first five-minute mark adds 6 to all stats

and even improves the Scaler further more. Lastly,

on 10-minute mark, where toxic lasers spawn, all

stats of both players are increased by 9 and the

Scaler reaches its limit. Every minute, it boosts

your Guardians with HP, Energy, and moral that

only keeps growing with these three instances.

The longer the game goes, the stronger both

players get.

As of now, this mechanic has no info or description

in any form from the game. If you're a player who

does not read change logs or no one else talked

to you about it, then this basically acts like a ghost

mechanic to you. You may not entirely get what it

accurately does, but seeing it works in the  game

along with the UI and AI will give you the idea

eventually.

It's good, it works, I'm proud of it, and you will

be able to tell difference. Provided that every

minute, you gain resources and free stats, how

bad can it be? This just adds more to the things

that Guardians'  overgrew from time to time.

combat experiences here and around.

- The new Guardian Scaler mechanic is also perfect

for the new addition to the roster: Guardian 37 

> THE PIERCER. <

Piercer is added as a new playable Guardian in the

game. He's a Burst that can do massive damage if

done right. He alternates from usage of his

Powershots and abilities and can disjoint your

enemy Guardian into picking the wrong  core

- Reworked Cabalist.

- Reworked Warden.

> More updates to come! I have interesting plans for

the next one that compliment the ones that are

already here assuming it plays out the way I want it

to! Stay tuned and enjoy this update!
