Patch 0.5 Preview 1: Potions & Spells

Hey folks,

Over the next few WFTO Wednesdays we’re going to be covering all of the changes, features and improvements that will be included in our upcoming monster patch.

This week we’re starting with the new Potions and Spells being introduced, so feel free to lean back in your not-as-comfortable-as-it-could-be chair and feast your eyes upon the new toys that will soon be available to your dark and twisted inner Underlord.

Potions

Hellfire

Wrath

3500 Gold

This potion will destroy wall tiles in a small area

Stripmine the world with the powers of Alchemy, or just use it as an ad hoc Underminer when you’re knocking on your enemies’ front gate.

Wisdom Juice

Neutral

5000 Gold

This potion will grant experience to units in a small area

Whoever said you can’t bottle knowledge could have used a few of these — though she probably would have called it snake juice…

Wormhole

Neutral

7500 Gold

This potion will instantly teleport all units in its radius to your Dungeon Core

When a battle isn’t going to plan you can always reset the action with a flick of your wrist… but beware bringing too many enemies back with you.

Haste

Wrath

1750 Gold

This potion greatly increases the movement speed of all units in a small area, over time their speed will gradually slow down

Light a proverbial fire underneath your minion’s tuchus before you tell them to throw their lives away in a foreign land.

Spirit Workers

Neutral

2500 Gold

This potion summons several temporary, invulnerable, hyper-efficient workers to your side

Quickly expand your dungeon or recover your fallen allies in battle without risking the lives of your fleshbag workers.

Frost Weaver

Sloth

3000 Gold

This potion summons a Frost Weaver to temporarily defend your dungeon

These poor creatures are destined to live short, cold, miserable lives — but they will happily turn their short-lived rage upon your foes – more details on the Frost Weaver next week!

Spells

Volcanic Bridge

Wrath

250 Mana

Cast Volcanic Bridge to summon a single, neutral, Volcanic Bridge tile (can only be used in areas you can see, Volcanic Bridge tiles spawn as neutral and can be claimed and sold by any player)

For the Underlord cared not for defence, and rushed her enemies with the help of a little volcanic fury.

Enrage

Wrath

150 Mana

Cast Enrage to increase the movement speed and combat prowess of a single unit for a short period of time

This spell will summon a tiny demon who shouts insults into its target’s ear while poking at the tender, exposed wounds left by previous battles with its razor-sharp knife-hands.

Annex

Wrath

200 Mana

Cast Annex to mine out a single block or claim a single tile within your Area of Influence

Annex is guaranteed to help contractor workers meet your impossible deadlines.

That’s it for this Wednesday — next week we’ll cover our revamped combat system and unit abilities in addition to showing off the new minions that will soon roam your dungeon.

Until next time Underlord,

– WFTO Team
