Evasion Mechanic:
The video showcases the new evasion mechanic in Last Epoch, which is separate from the existing Dodge statistic. Evasion allows players to slightly slide to a different position, providing a tactical advantage in combat. The higher the character’s level, the more frequently they can use the evasion ability.
Nemesis Encounter:
The Nemesis encounter is a new feature in the Harbingers of Ruin update. Players will have the option to banish, challenge, or empower the Nemesis. Successfully defeating the Nemesis grants various rewards, including unique items. Choosing to empower the Nemesis increases its power for future encounters.
New Faction: Harbingers and Forgotten Knights:
The update introduces the Harbingers faction, which can be accessed alongside the Circle of Fortune or the Merchant Guild. These new bosses can be found within the Monolith of Fate and offer challenging combat scenarios. Defeating the Harbingers unlocks the Forgotten Knights faction, providing additional rewards as the player’s rank increases.
Glyph of Envy for Faster Monolith Progression:
Players can now utilize the Glyph of Envy to accelerate their progression through regular and empowered monoliths. This new crafting material adds monolith progression to the current timeline, making subsequent character progression faster. This change addresses the feedback from players regarding the slow progression in monoliths.
