The First Battle!

Greetings!

We are here to bring you the latest update on the development of Ludus!

Gladiators

The characters are now equipped with their respective ability kits. 

Let's begin with Sorde, the Swift Barbarian
Sorde is a high-mobility Melee DPS that excels in chasing and finishing down vulnerable opponents.

Q - Savage Cleave:

Sorde swings his sword in a circle and deals damage to enemies nearby. When Sorde uses Savage Cleave, he also frees himself from slows and roots.

W - Relentless Chase:

Sorde runs to an enemy and hits them with a powered strike. When Sorde uses Relentless Chase, he gains a mobility boost and his next basic attack will deal additional damage, while also slowing the target in the process. 

E - Raging Thrust:

Sorde slashes across the field making damage to enemies in his way.

R1 - Titan Strike

Sorde leaps and strikes his foe. When Sorde uses Titan Strike he rushes towards the enemy damaging them and reducing their armor, making them vulnerable to incoming attacks.

R2 - Modo Diablo

Sorde channels his inner Diablo, entering "Modo Diablo" state. While in this state, Sorde boosts his attack damage, attack speed, move speed and spell power, sacrificing his armor (when referring to it as armor, it's both physical and spell armor simultaneously).

A very wild warrior.

Let's continue with Lord Valthor, the Evil King:

Q - Sovereign Smash

Valthor raises his evil club and smashes the ground, crushing the enemies ahead, dealing massive damage to them.

W - Expropriation!

Valthor creates a corrupted aura, claiming the vitality of nearby enemies' souls, increasing his armor and healing himself. This effects increase based on the number of enemies on the area.

E - Tyrant's Decree:

Valthor summons r̵͔̅ỏ̴̍ĥ̴̾t̶̂̃l̴̀́a̵͗͘v̸͒, which chases the enemy making them terrified and stunning them.

R1 - Oblivion

Valthor charges forward, pushing the peasants out of his way, damaging and briefly stunning them. Oblivion counts as a dash, which means that it can also be used for reposition going through impassable terrain.

R2 - Cataclysm 

Valthor jumps forward and slams the ground as he descends, damaging and stunning the enemies in the area. 

He is very very evil >:)

Basic game loop

For the time being, the game follows the logic of a single round. 

At the beginning of the game, each player has to choose their gladiator and their team. Then at the beginning of the round everyone chooses a blessing from a selection of three (This system does not work as intended yet and it's still in development).

After a couple of seconds the battle begins, you have to defeat every opponent in the arena. If your team is the last one standing, you win!
