HEX Update – Elven Evolution

Hi HEXers! This week, we’re showing you some of the new ways you can play with Elves as we visit the forest of Ashwood.

Ruby Elves

In Shards of Fate and Shattered Destiny, Elves stuck to the wild magic of Entrath. In Armies of Myth, Elves are dabbling with ruby shards to take the resource manipulation of wild and weaponize it. These Ashwood elves are far more aggressive than the elves you’ve seen in the past.

The Ashwood Soloist is similar to Howling Brave, but the Brave always has to make the choice: the bonus resource or the attack? The Soloist wants it all! And though he’s not an Orc, this elf is willing to drop the solo act and pile into the Gore Feast of Kog’Tepetl.

Ashwood Maestro plays on the resource game, but he provides it to every player. Of course, your deck is built to take advantage of these extra resources while your opponent’s deck is not. If you’re wondering where you’ll spend those extra resources, his buddy Ashwood Blademaster can pump your army—and himself—with any leftover points you find.

And what would your new deck be without its own ruby-powered Elf champion? Benvolio is giving you even more offense, but that unrestrained raw power comes at a cost. Use it or lose it, just the same with those resources. As the skirmishes in Entrath escalate into battles, you’ll want these new aggressive Elves on your side.

Sigils

Our friends at Gameforge just released a new game: Sigils – Battle for Raios for your iPad. This game is bringing real-time MOBA action to your iPad so you can play wherever you go, whenever you want. If you want to climb the ranking ladder, you can party with friends for 1v1 or 3v3 PVP action. If you want to explore the world of Raios and challenge the sophisticated AI, you can play the PVE campaign by yourself or with others as Sigils brings together the best parts of an RPG and MOBAs.

You’ll start out with one Champion representing one of the five factions, and you’ll collect more as you play through the game. Each one has distinct powers and feel, so you’ll want to try them all. As you play through PVE, your champion will level and you will unlock new worlds, enemies and receive gear and xp.

The game is free to play, and it was released May 21st in the entire western world. Go download it now!
