The new class
Mages of the Krosmic Balance
Huppermages master all four elements. They draw runes under their enemies and mark them with elemental states, then turn two different elements into powerful elemental combinations. Elementalist, playable from level 1.
Passive: Krosmic Balance
Mark
Your elemental spells place a rune of their element under every enemy they hit and give it that element's state.
Hold
A rune lasts 2 of your turns, one per cell. States stay on the enemy until they are used up; everyone sees them as small crystals above it.
Combine
When an enemy holds two different states, both are used up: it suffers the pair's penalty for 1 turn.
Empower
You gain +20 power for 2 turns. Each pair gives its bonus once at a time, so six different pairs can stack.
Elemental combinations
Two elements, six combinations
Every pair of elements does something different. Pick the combination the fight needs, then land the second element on an enemy that already holds the first.
Eruption
Earth + Fire
The enemy suffers 15% more damage.
Boiling Point
Fire + Water
The enemy loses 60 agility.
Crystallisation
Water + Air
The enemy deals 15% less damage.
Drying Out
Air + Earth
You steal 3 range from the enemy.
Bogged Down
Earth + Water
The enemy loses 3 MP.
Carbonisation
Fire + Air
The enemy loses 2 AP.
Every penalty lasts 1 turn. Each combination also gives you +20 power for 2 turns, once per pair at a time.
The spell book
21 spells and a Dopple
You start with one attack per element. The rest arrive level by level: area attacks that mark whole groups, tools that cash in runes and states, and spells that turn your elements into help for your allies. Select a spell to see all its ranks on the Classes page.
Level 1 One attack per element
· Telluric Wave · Earth damage. Places an Earth rune and gives the Earth state.
· Flamethrower · Fire damage. Places a Fire rune and gives the Fire state.
· Ether · Air damage, no line of sight needed. Places an Air rune and gives the Air state.
· Stalagmite · Water damage at close range. Places a Water rune and gives the Water state.
Levels 3 to 13 Rune tools and the first area attacks
· Runification · Sets off every one of your runes with an enemy on it: damage in its element, that element's characteristic for you, and its state on the enemy.
· Elemental Drain · Steals the characteristic of the enemy's state element, then hits in that element. Uses up the state.
· Storm · Earth steal in a cross. Marks every enemy hit.
· Transfixing Gust · Air steal in a circle that never hits you. Cast in a diagonal only.
Levels 17 to 54 Movement, more area attacks and support
· Polarity · Moves by the enemy's state: Earth pushes it back, Fire swaps places, Water attracts it, Air sends you to its other side.
· Burning Stroke · Fire steal on a line of 5 cells across the cast.
· Glacier · Water steal on the cells all around you.
· Journey · Teleports you exactly 5 cells in a straight line. Every enemy you cross takes damage in the element of its state.
· Elemental Shield · +20% to +28% to every resistance for an ally or yourself, for 2 turns. Whoever hits it picks up the state of that element.
· Deflagration · Fire damage that also shortens the target's effects by 1 turn. On an ally it only shortens the effects.
· Contribution · For each enemy holding a state, an ally gets Earth +1 MP, Fire a shield, Water +60 power or Air +1 AP. Uses up the states.
· Icy Shards · Attracts the target 2 cells, then Water damage. The rune goes under its new cell.
Levels 60 to 100 Healing, spreading and imprinting
· Runic Treatment · Heals an ally 5% of its maximum HP for each of your runes (3% on yourself). Uses up your runes.
· Propagation · Spreads the target's state to every enemy within 3 cells. Enemies with another state make a combination.
· Astral Blade · On an ally or yourself: +2 to +3 range. On an enemy: -2 to -3 range and Air damage.
· Striking Meteor · Pushes the target back 2 cells, then Earth damage. The rune goes under its new cell.
· Imprint · Places one of your runes under every enemy that has a state, in the element of that state.
Getting started
Where your journey begins
Pick the Huppermage on the character creation screen. Your three colours change the teal outfit, the hair and the white dress, on the portrait and on your character alike.
The statue in Astrub
A Huppermage statue now stands in the middle of the lawn at [4,-22] in Astrub.
Temple and mounts
Huppermages follow the Feca temple. They ride Dragoturkeys like every other class, with their own mounted look.
The in-game Knowledge Base has a full Huppermage article, and the Classes page lists every spell with all its ranks.
Updates 1.0.65 and 1.0.66
Also in this update
The Huppermage did not come alone. Rogues got a round of spell fixes, Rogues and Foggernauts can now ride, and a few interface annoyances are gone.
Rogue spell fixes
- Bomb walls now form over holes in the ground, and a wall's glyph appears as soon as the second bomb lands.
- Magnet pulls its target toward you.
- Kickback moves the furthest target first, a blocked push just stops with no pushback damage, and bombs no longer block its line of sight, so you can cast it on a wall.
- Detonator gives you back 1 AP, at most twice per turn.
- Roguery makes four identical Rogues in a cross around the target cell: you land on one of the four places at random and three illusions take the others.
- Dirty Trick reaches further: up to 7 cells at rank 6.
- Carbine is cast on a diagonal only. The aiming preview of Deception, Blunderbuss, Carbine and Boomerang Daggers now shows the exact cells they hit.
Mounts
- Rogues and Foggernauts can ride Dragoturkeys, with their own mounted look.
- The Rogue's statue in Incarnam is no longer cut off.
Look and interface
- Rogue and Foggernaut capes and shields no longer flicker.
- The AP and MP counters are right after you switch characters.
- Crafting storage toggles stay on.
- The spell bar no longer loses spells, and spells you have used grey out correctly.
