Once you have given him all soldier artifacts, he will give you a lifestone shard. When talking with Vulgrim you can press to trade any artifacts that you have collected for souls. For details on acquiring the artifact, refer to the Ashlands section of the guide. Once you have acquired the overlord artifact, talk to Vulgrim and press to trade it in. Regardless you'll need to pick it up eventually. This can be left for a while from a gameplay stand point Wrath isn't that useful in my experience. When you have enough, I'd advise buying this immediately. When you are comfortable spending 2500 souls, talk to Vulgrim.

The first or second shard you are likely to obtain. Once you have located him, his location will permanently be marked by his symbol on the map of that area. “This makes the gameplay much more intense and lets the music reflect and push the player actions.Vulgri m is the merchant of the game and appears once in each area apart from the prologue. “The music is reacting directly and in numerous variations to what happens in Shards of War”, says Bastian Seelbach, Audio Lead at Bigpoint. The more towers the team destroys, and the lower the enemy headquarter’s energy bar gets, the more dynamic and upbeat the music becomes. If the tide turns, the track becomes much more uplifting and motivating. When a team is struggling and losing ground, the music changes to a tense and darker variation. With the launch of the second map, a brand new music system has been implemented, which adapts what the player hears according to the situation. Shards of War now goes beyond the traditional in-game music seen in other MOBAs-songs that are static, and on an infinite loop.

Her ultimate, ‘Daughter of the Light,’ can change the course of a battle by healing all allied Sentinels in the target area. It can be used alongside ‘Helio Scan’, which marks all hostile Sentinels in the area, making them targets of her satellite’s orbital attacks. ‘Dawn Hammer’ calls down a burst of light that stuns all enemies in the area.

Her true strength lies in helping her teammates to survive and destroy their enemies. The latter shields allies, allowing them to slow enemies and deal additional damage. The first marks single enemies, making them a target for her satellite. However, both the ‘Morning Star’ and ‘Higher Calling’ skills let her focus on individual targets. Precision is not always Decima´s main objective. Moreover, her satellite enables Decima to control the battlefield while dealing constant damage to “marked” enemies. Shards of War´s 18th Sentinel is out now! Decima is a life-saving support character who also packs a punch of her own. Deciding when to tackle them, and what to do once the Mech Suit is unlocked, will form a key pillar of each team’s strategy to attack the enemy base. Mech Suits deal extra damage to towers, and can silence and disarm enemy Sentinels.īattery Drones and Mech Suits are both optional objectives. The Mech Suit: This powerful suit can be piloted by players, giving them access to new skills as well as the Mech Suit’s primary weapon: a devastating cannon. Once three charges have been gathered, players can enable their team’s Mech Suit.

While the ultimate goal remains the same (to destroy the enemy’s HQ), there are also a number of new gameplay mechanics: Battery Drones: Traveling down a set path, Battery Drones make an ideal and rewarding target for players. On this map the headquarters, drones, and towers have all been re-designed to match the branding of two corporate rivals: Aether and the Spiral Directive. Meridian Gate is a rooftop battlefield spanning multiple buildings at the heart of the Prime Shard, home of Sentinels like Gemini and Striker. During combat, the interactive music system reacts to what’s happening, increasing the drama and tension for all players. With Decima, the game’s 18th Sentinel, players have a new character to fight with as well.
