Season of the Construct: Robotic Companions and Vaults
Rhykker explains that the Season of the Construct introduces a new mechanic involving robotic companions called senals. These companions can be customized with various governing and tuning stones, providing unique combat experiences. The governing stones determine the attacks the senals can perform, while the tuning stones augment these skills and provide greater utility. There are twelve different governing stones and twenty-seven different tuning stones of different rarities to seek out in the vaults.
The vaults, which are specialized dungeons, house elemental hazards and constructs, an entirely new monster family. These hazards and constructs offer a challenging gameplay experience. Players can increase the difficulty of the vaults by using Pearls of Waring, which exchange for extra stacks of Zan’s warding at the vault entrance. By defeating the vault boss and maintaining Zan’s warding, players can unlock a ward woven chest with a higher chance of granting legendary items. The vaults also offer a risk-reward system, where players can choose to increase the risk for greater rewards.
Weekly Leaderboards and Quality of Life Updates
In addition to the new mechanics, the Season of the Construct will feature weekly leaderboards and quality of life updates. The gauntlet, a rotating fixed dungeon, will be introduced later in the season. Players will compete for the top spot on the leaderboards, with the top weekly scores earning a permanent place in the Hall of the Ancients. Quality of life updates include always active hell tides, enhanced movement with W support on PC, an extra stash tab, improvements to reallocating the skill tree and UI when trading gold, increased rates to earn items needed for the Beast in the Ice, and more.
Overall, Rhykker is impressed with the depth of the mechanics in the Season of the Construct. He believes it is the strongest season yet, and is excited to see how it plays out in terms of balance and gameplay. The season offers a promising new mechanic with customizable robotic companions and challenging vaults, as well as the addition of weekly leaderboards and quality of life updates. Diablo 4 players have a lot to look forward to in Season 3.
