Hello everyone! GM Aesop here with what’s headed your way for patch 0.19.0.
We got Shoichi coming, along with some other stuff, so let’s check it out!
New character – Shoichi
Shoichi is clocking in Lumia Island as the 17th character of Eternal Return.
Phony Deal (P)
Shoichi earns a stack of Phony Deal each time he hits an enemy with a skill, increasing his critical strike chance by 3/4/5% for 6 seconds.
Upon reaching 5 stacks, his normal attack damage is increased by 10/15/20%.
If Shoichi picks a dagger up off the ground, he throws it at the nearest enemy within 5m, dealing 50/75/100(+AP 30%) damage.
Good Faith/Bad Faith (Q)
Shoichi lunges his blade in the targeted direction, dealing 30/65/100/135/170(+AP 45%) damage.
Hitting an enemy reduces the cooldown by 2 seconds and enables him to use Bad Faith within 8 seconds. Bad Faith: increased range and Shoichi will leave a dagger on the ground.
