Meanwhile, the all-new arcade mode "MAGIC CHESS" will be launched in this update. Can you imagine how fun this mode is? Give it a try! Magic Chess Introduction 1. Magic Chess is an Arcade Mode that is full of fun and strategy! In this mode, 8 players will be dispatched into 8 maps and confront with each other and creeps. Players can buy heroes from the shop, build their own lineup, loot golds, and enhance their troops to gain victory. 2. Players will play against each other 1 on 1 each round. Players can deploy the heroes to the battlefield on the map, and the heroes on the battlefield will automatically find and attack nearby enemies. 3. We added the concept of the Little Commander. Harper is the default Little Commander for all players. When the HP of the Little Commander is lower than 0, the Little Commander will be eliminated from the game. 4. You need to download the additional resources to enter this mode. You can choose to download the resources by yourself. 5. For more details, please proceed to Arcade → Magic Chess to view the Magic Chess Patch Notes. 6. This mode is a new year gift prepared by hundreds of members from MOONTON Development Team. Don't miss out! For more details of the gameplay, please update now and explore it by yourself. ==I. New Hero== A Blood Demon who can pass the damage to multiple enemies via the link of curse. Passive - Carmilla steals Physical & Magic Defense (scales with level) from the enemies while dealing damage to them. Each target can be stolen only once in several seconds. The stolen Physical & Magic Defense can be stacked up to 5 times. Skill 1 - Crimson Flower Carmilla increases her Movement Speed, and summons 2 Crimson Flowers circling around herself. Enemies hit by the Crimson Flower will receive Magic Damage and be slowed down. Meanwhile, the circling speed of the Crimson Flowers will be increased. Each time the Crimson Flowers deal damage to enemies, Carmilla will restore HP. Skill 2 - Bloodbath Carmilla accumulates Bloodbath Energy, greatly increasing her Movement Speed (decays rapidly). Use Again: Carmilla casts Bloodbath Energy to a designated enemy (cannot target at Minions), dealing Magic Damage and stunning the enemy. (The damage and the stunning duration scale with the Bloodbath Energy accumulation.) Ultimate - Curse of Blood Carmilla casts Curse of Blood in a designated direction. The Curse will spread out from the target enemy to nearby enemy heroes (capped at 3 targets), dealing Magic Damage and slowing them down. The debuff and control effect will be shared among all cursed enemies, whilst the damage and control duration will decay. }} ==II.
