The search for an object called the “Daedalus” has brought Calibre far, her origins shrouded in mystery and a growing cloud of smoke – from the barrels of two massive guns and the ruins of the worlds behind her.Ī stranger among the Shards, she asks about the Deadalus wherever she goes, showing no mercy to those without answers. Calibre can move while channeling this skill, creating a whirl of destruction. For a few seconds, she shoots her weapons around her at extreme speed, dealing significant damage to all nearby enemies. Ultimately, Calibre will turn to “Final Answer”. If these skills aren’t enough to bring Calibre the answers she seeks, “Retort” shoots multiple projectiles in a cone, each one dealing damage to the first enemy hit. She can reactivate this skill to quickly dash to the sphere, picking it up. The “Probe” skill sends her sphere to a target area, damaging all enemies within. With “Interrogator”, her interrogation sphere jolts the closest enemy with a dose of electricity.

Calibre’s “Field of Inquiry” skill emits an EMP burst that silences and slows all enemy Sentinels in the area. With her ability to dash through or past enemy Sentinels, Calibre can get into the fight, dish out tons of damage, and take down high priority targets – all before the enemy team even knows what hit them (or which one of her massive guns). Using her interrogation sphere to dash in and out of combat, she lays down heavy fire with her two massive guns An assassin-style character, she specializes in mass destruction, spreading her damage across multiple targets. When creating custom games, players will be able to invite friends into observer slots who can switchthrough player perspectives and free-cam, as well as toggle “fog of war.”īigpoint is also announcing the seventeenth playable character in the game: Calibre, the dimension-hopping interrogator.
Shards of war update#
This update will also incorporate the first iteration of an observer mode for Shards of War. Additionally, the healing pads will now provide periodic healing buffs that can be picked up, rather than constantly healing while standing within the zone. To help make towers a greater threat on the game’s shattered battlefield, their targeting priority system has been amended to always attack enemy Sentinels who are damaging friendly Sentinels in range.

They have been replaced with a completely revamped crafting system, alongside an all-new collection of “Custom Items”, including five character-specific items for each Sentinel. Some of the major elements of this update include:Īll of the previous active items as well as select passive ones have been removed entirely from the game. Like the rest of the games in Bigpoint’s library, it is part of the “free to play” market, utilizing micro-transactions in place of a classic purchase model to drive profit.Today Bigpoint revealed the details of the biggest update yet to its sci-fi driven MOBA, Shards of War. Shards of War, which brags of being the first science fiction themed MOBA on the market, is a newcomer to the genre, but has been receiving middling to positive response from critics, with some claiming that the game’s use of WASD-based shooter-style controls makes the game more accessible to players not used to the typically mouse-driven interface used by most other MOBAs. When she reaches higher levels she can even access abilities that allow her to control the flow of battle on the field, with barriers that will drain the health of her opponents just by coming into contact with them, making her a formidable opponent and an asset to any team. Vox makes the 11th character to join the roster of Bigpoint‘s MOBA Shards of War, and in-game functions using a combination of tanking and almost vampiric abilities, allowing her to actually regain health based on how much damage she deals to her opponents. Little is left of the person Vox once was: now she is little more than another automaton, working to spread the dominion of machines beyond her own dimension, one infection at a time if necessary…. Formerly a human herself, Vox is from an alternate dimension where, in the great battle between man and machine, the machines have won. Vox is a pretty creepy character to look at, but even moreso once you delve into the back story of her character. After the war ends, she goes on to a successful career posing for Aerosmith album covers.
