Shadow Lords

Hub world has War Room, Barracks, Guardians, Emporiums, Archives

As Adam Isgreen puts it, Gargos is here to take over the world and your here to stop him

Your goal is to complete missions and take away buffs from Gargos before he takes over the world

Every time you play this game you will get daily rewards

These rewards give you items to make your character more powerful

Multiplayer daily rewards coming soon (perhaps online aspects to Shadow Lords)

You can apply buffs to your own character; You can make yourself super cheap to match how cheap Gargos is

You can buy buffs with in game currency or KI Gold

You can just earn all of it too by playing through the game, you don’t need to pay for them

You can craft buffs

Some buffs you can use in the middle of a match by pressing a button, other buffs are equipped for the whole match

These buffs manipulate the fight in your favor to combat Gargos’s buffs

Every time you play through Shadow Lords you keep all of your stuff. If you get to the end but gargos kicks your butt, you still have all the stuff you earned in that playthrough for your next playthrough

Health is persitenct in this mode kind of like survival mode

So the Guardians manipulate the match on top of the buffs

Vampire Bat drains health and shadow meter. It steals these resources for yourself

Fractured Ward gives any characterr armor and it regenerates

One Guardian helps you with combo breakers, Physic Breaker

There is a Guardian that gives every character a parry

The War Room is where you deploy and take missions

Pretty cool unlocks if you beat Gargos in this mode

New multiplayer mode separate from ranked allows you to take all the buffs and Guardians from Shadow Lords and compete against other players

Guardians and buffs in multiplayer

Shadow Lords multiplayer mode “salt guaranteed”

Shadow Lords will be released Septemeber 20th

Multiplayer mode will come after that date

There were thoughts that Nintendo owned “Killer Cuts” with the C so they were going to make “Killer Kuts” with a K
